Dontur found the Polk Shop at the edge of the market.
Isabella signaled her subordinates to enter Polk Shop.
One of Isabella's subordinates kicked the door open.
Dbruuk.
The door broke down successfully.
Isabella checked the inside.
But it was empty—no one was there.
Dontur realized something… his sense of hearing disappeared.
His sense of hearing had been stolen.
"Lamia is here," Dontur said to everyone.
Ciko Joun's hands trembled. He panicked and became extremely alert—he could die at any moment if he let his guard down.
"Oh? Are you all waiting for someone?"
A young girl's voice suddenly appeared from inside Polk Shop.
Isabella ordered her subordinates to stay alert, because the girl looked suspicious.
"Hoho, you're the girl who bumped into me yesterday," Ciko Joun said, pointing at her.
Ciko Joun approached the girl, making various jokes.
Stab.
Ciko Joun stabbed the girl in the stomach with a knife, but… it failed.
"You think I'd fall for that? Your panicked face gave you away," the girl said sharply.
Thud.
Ciko Joun was punched in the cheek, thrown back until he hit a wall.
30 Madness points of the Fight path appeared in his mind.
"Huh… seems my warning wasn't useless."
His consciousness faded,
and he collapsed on the spot.
Dontur rushed toward the girl. "Lamiaaaa!"
Buk—Demp—Buk.
The girl—Lamia—took countless blows all over her body.
But Lamia endured.
Until finally, Dontur's last punch sent Lamia flying out of Polk Shop.
The strike was so powerful it injured her severely.
And then, Dontur's remaining senses were stolen…
his sight, smell, and touch disappeared.
