[Hollow Town] [4] [Weapon Of Past]

A silence lingered within the town as I jumped down from the monster's head.

Glancing back, I touched its body, and the ice around it started to crack.

The crack slowly covered the entire body of the monster before a crumbling sound echoed.

A mist of ice moved along with the wind as the monster's body turned into nothing but dust.

I walked through the crowd, who now looked at me with fearful eyes, before I reached Nella.

"Let's go," I said while she passed the child to his parents.

"Where?" she asked, tilting her head. "...Didn't we kill the monster already?"

"That doesn't change much," I replied, walking while she followed. "Killing the monster is nothing but a temporary solution."

"...You think there are more—?"

"Yes, I do," I cut her off, glancing back at her.

She had a thoughtful look on her face.

"Do you know about that monster?" she asked as we once again arrived at the barren part of the town.
