Return

There was only a few minutes left before the duration of the punishment ended. 

Even though he felt safer than before being in the forest, he still wanted to go home immediately. It had already been almost twelve hours since he arrived at this place and he already missed his cute little Eva. 

A while later, Ban arrived at a wide flowing river. 

He looked at the duration and noticed that there was only a minute left before it reaches zero. Ban nodded his head as he went to the river to wash himself from the dirt and other stuff he smeared on his body to escape the pursuit of the beasts.

After he was done cleaning up, he was about to turn around and just wait for the duration to finish, but a commotion under the river piqued his attention. 

A huge shadow suddenly appeared under the river and as time passed, it actually grew bigger and bigger.
