Sophia moved out, her gaze pointed at her road, without any feelings or pain of leaving. She never turned back, not even to look back. She carried her sword and made a thudding noise as she walked in the passages.
Kai and the wolf watched her move out just like that without any words. They were standing, the wolf on the left, Kai on the right, their eyes glued to the elf girl as she got out.
"Wow, she just left! What do you think, buddy? Was she really supposed to leave without me?" Kai said, a fake smile printed on his face. Suddenly, the wolf angrily roared.
"Huh, what did I do? You were calm just n… sorry, I meant to say us, not only me!" he said while trembling, scared to fight the wolf again. He said what he said without thinking. But surprisingly, it calmed down the wolf.
"Huh, it's no longer… WOW, he really understands me. So dude, how are you this calm around me? That's totally ridiculous; I didn't tame you since the screen said beast taming was locked, and I don't even know how to tame, but you are like my dog." The wolf rubbed its head on Kai's legs, its eyes looking calm and at peace.
Kai smiled as he saw it happy.

"Wow, I've gained more bravery. That's good. Let's go if you want to go with me; I'm supposed to go and get my reward. So let's..."
"Hrraaaaaaaa!" a female screaming voice echoed.
A faraway scream echoed throughout the walls. Kai and the red wolf stopped moving. They listen closely to where the scream was coming from.
Suddenly, the wolf swiftly got going to where the scream was coming from. It didn't give a heads-up; it only charged out.
"Hey, hey, wait, wait for me!" Kai screamed loudly to stop the running wolf, but his efforts were in vain.
The wolf was moving at a fast speed, around 60 km/h. Kai got out too, following with his fast speed of around 55 km/h.
They rushed to lend a hand to the deceased.
Suddenly they found Sophia on the ground, her eyes widened as she glared at the top, where there were 5 flying creatures that were scarily looking.
She had her gaze darting all around, and her swordsman skills were already gone; she was at the end of her rope, just ready to die.
Kai and the wolf observed the creature and got no second thoughts of fighting.

warning!!
Kurobi—it's a dangerous bee.
Level—unranked↓
Deadly point—unknown
Weak point—unknown
________________________________________
Kurobi is a creature that inspires fear and awe in equal measure. Its massive size, dark coloration, and intimidating aura make it a force to be reckoned with. You can't help but feel a sense of trepidation when you look at it, as if you're in the presence of a creature that's both ancient and malevolent.
'Dammit, its weak point is unknown? That's totally bad.' Kai said as he charged towards the Kurobies that were ready to finish Sophia.
The wolf jumped onto the wall, then it jumped straight to two of the Kurobies. It caught one on its neck with its mouth, and the other one was hit by its arms.
Kai jumped from the ground and punched the other one that was underneath the other one. That punch was so strong that it punched the one below, and it hit the one on top, forcing all down.
The one left shot a dark power that almost devoured Sophia, but Kai took the dead one on the ground and threw it at the ball. Suddenly, he picked up Sophia's sword and flashily swooped through the thin air and instantly sliced the last kurobi into multiple pieces with a sword.
Astonishment filled Sophia. Fear and astonishment coiled in her heart as she struggled to breathe after she was saved; her eyes were glued to Kai while darting as fear made her eyes tremble.
"Wow, these things were scary!" He said, and suddenly the wolf ran to him and started walking around his legs.
"Ohh, I guess this is yours!" he continued as he gave Sophia her sword. His hands were a bit shaky, but there was no scratch on his body or any pain.
"I—I—ahh, I'm, I'm sorry!" Sophia's voice crackled, her eyes tearing.
"Huh! For what?" Kai asked urgently.
"I'm sorry for disturbing you; my weakness led you to risk your life for me!" she continued, sobbing, her right hand wiping her shedding tears.
"Come on, snap out of it. I didn't really risk my life. And for you to be happy, consider it as payback!" He then resumed with his voice a bit low, "...even though I didn't even think about attacking or doing it for payback." Sophia's eyes widened as she heard those words. Kai said as he turned around about to go, his voice deepened as he continued saying, "See you around, and be careful out there!"
Her eyes widened, fear swirled over her body, her mouth continued vibrating, and her heart thudded loudly in her chest.
'This guy and his wolf saved my life just like that? Wow, I should really train more, and those bees were scary for me to attack. No wonder why he is searching for bravery; I should at least try to follow his footsteps.' she silently said, her eyes widened in surprise while her mind raced, including her heart that was loudly thudding.
As for Kai, he was moving away from Sophia, who was still sitting on the ground. His mind started racing. 'What did I just do, leaving that girl there? What if she's hurt? I didn't even give her a hand up!" Kai thought, his eyes a bit narrowed as he thought.
The wolf was moving in front while he was behind.
Suddenly...
