A Stronger Target

[Total EXP: 20,000/33,000]

The system notification flashed before Ryuk's gaze as he nodded before wishing for the panel to disappear.

A new pill appeared in his hands, which he threw to Isha.

She caught it with her maw and swallowed it with a gulp, her injuries rapidly fading away.

"If I remember correctly, you were previously scared to the bone to fight a Grade A beast just a few hours ago, and now you've just defeated one."

"Tell me, how do you feel, Isha?" Ryuk called out as he walked toward her.

Isha looked at the dispersing ashes of the Lava Crocodile before glancing down at her claws, a bizarre look in her eyes.

Had she been scared of fighting the beast?

Absolutely. She had been terrified.

But she also remembered the promise she had made to Ryuk—the promise to stay by his side until the end of it all.

That was why she had fought without thinking twice.
