"Thanks to Miss Krein for driving back the Headless Knight leader, the undead's assault has slowed."
Krein returned to the rear camp, greeted by those she had saved, smiling and nodding slightly in acknowledgment as she entered through the city gate and made her way back to the Holy Light Church.
Once back in the room arranged for her by the nuns, she took off her greatsword, leaned it against the wall, then sat on the bed, reflecting on the fight with the Headless Knight.
Truly an elite executive of the underworld, even headless, he was a difficult adversary; she had nearly exerted all her strength and had only managed to drive him back.
