You'll be fighting even more soon."
"Ugh…" Sighed Eric. "Okay… But I just hate their horrible smell."
"T-Their rotting faces and all… Uegh… I am going to have nightmares today." Chris said.
"I guess this is the first time you see Undead." Eleanora pointed out, emerging at my side. She had fighting in the frontlines all this time with Blood, her loyal Blood Wolf, and the support of a small Fenrir Squad.
