Chapter 9: Shadows

When Komer and Ilot returned to Ugru carrying the ogre's head and fur, the entire Ugru was abuzz with excitement, especially the Adventurers' Guild led by Hesse, which widely publicized Komer's achievements. The threat of the ogre was exaggerated to no end, even equating it to the Wicked Dragon that dominates the Eastern Nether Sea.

This swell of pride filled Komer with worry too, fearing that if some shortsighted citizen actually demanded that he eradicate the Wicked Dragon, he truly wouldn't know how to respond. Thankfully, such a scenario did not unfold, as the Nether Sea was too remote for the general populace to feel the danger looming from afar.
