93 Max's Flashback

A deep gush of red could be seen on Maximo's hind legs. The cut was above his knee. 

Maximo's hoof wobbled, his wild trashing stopped all of a sudden. Ellie got up from sliding off and stared at Maximo playfully. She retreated a few steps to keep a distance from Maximo. "Hehehe... Don't worry, you'll ultimately die, just slowly, okay?"

Ellie waved the dagger elegantly in the air as she strolled closer towards Maximo. While walking, she maintained her grin. She looked terrifying, especially her face and arms that were full of violet bruises. 

There was a reason why Ellie returned to retrieve this dagger. According to the story of Bruno's gang members, the blade was obtained from the claw of a human-sized bat. They said the battle was a complete struggle and chaos. Their number of evolved humans had even dwindled because of that fight. They said that the bat was only killed because of Bruno's luck.
