Death wish?

"Let's go," Klautz whispered in a light tone.

Their destination? The centre of the island but Klautz couldn't reach there before fighting some more weakened manticores along his way. If it was anyone else in place of Klautz he probably would even dare to call these monsters 'fake'.

Seeing his skills and the way he moved Verona could only look at him in awe and admiration but couldn't voice it out cause she felt ashamed at being useless. Which was quite in contrast to what Selena had in mind.

With half an hour of walking and finghting they reached the centre of the island. There they found a dead manticore's body with its wings severed. Unlike Klautz who had slashed their wings apart with smooth cuts of his sword, this one seemed to have its wings pulled and uprooted from the shoulder bone itself using brute strength.
