Standing behind a pillar of rock, Blaine studied Cecelia with a blank look.
At his own behest, the princess was once more facing off against another Rank 1 monster, that too with only a dagger in her hands.
It also just so happened that it was another long-eared magical creature.
While Blaine had yet to encounter such creatures himself, according to Cecelia, they were known as 'Rabmoles.'
She hadn't told Blaine their name explicitly, but he did hear the princess curse herself out for 'not being able to beat a single Rabmole.'
Well… regardless of what they were called, Cecelia was once more shaking, shaking in fear while in the presence of one.
With a glimmer of ravenous hunger flashing across its eyes, the Rabmole once more kicked off the floor and dashed in the princess's direction.
Intent on tearing the girl to shreds.
'…It seems she still needs more time.'
