The Cold, Wretched Rock

Splash!

From the dark sea, Digby emerged with a dead body in his arms.

He landed on the deck of the badly damaged ship and dropped Amella's lifeless body to the deck.

"Guild master!"

After seeing their guild master return victorious, they smiled and cheered.

Lucette and Valora looked at Amella's lifeless body with hateful gazes. It brought them little comfort knowing that she was finally dead, as they lost a way more valuable member to her.

"Digby." Zahn heartily laughed. "You killed a Royal Princess!"

"Lucky," Digby said. "Her emotions were not in the right place. Her focus was elsewhere. In other circumstances, I might be the one dead on the deck."

'That's what he says, but Digby's strength is extremely close to that of the Royal Prince.' Valora thought. 'Sadly, when he goes to do a promotion test, he never performs to his full potential because of his performance anxiety and fear of failure that hold him back.'
