Chapter 31: the predator and the prey

Markus's POV:

""Now, how am I gonna deal with you?""

Markus glanced at the raging beast in front of him with a dispassionate, empty look. It was like the gaze of someone who just came out of a hangover and is now staring down his excessively long list of chores that he said he would do "later" for the nth time.

"Lady Rosewood's knight? Hey! What are you doing?! It's dangerous!"

Seeing Markus's lone figure facing the beast, Arthur shouted.

""It's level is around 10 to 20 so it's not really that impressive stat-wise, it should probably be around the level of 2 or 3 adept-class mages or around the level of a fully equipped and prepared e-class adventurer party. This shouldn't take too long""

Ignoring Arthur's complaints, Markus cracked his knuckles and waited for the beast to make it's move, no provocation was needed since Markus knew that the beast is already thinking of tearing him apart.
