Chasing A Nightmare [Part 1]

"It's fine, Eiko. The ugly Kobold is gone," Lux said as he lightly patted the still-shivering baby Slime on his shoulder.

Eiko had been subjected to the skill, Dragon's Fear, that Cadmus had released to make Colette and his friends lose their strength and will to fight.

This was the first time that Eiko met such a fearsome monster, so she was unable to stop her natural instinct from taking hold of her body when the Dragon Fear hit her.

After a few more minutes of coaxing, the baby slime finally settled down as she hid inside Lux's robe, in order to feel safe and warm.

"Still, that was a close call, Big Brother," Colette said. If one listened carefully, they could trace the lingering fear in her words. "If you didn't have the medal with you, things might have gotten out of hand."

Helen, who was seated beside Colette, nodded her head in agreement.
