After inspecting his spoils, Qin Feng raised his hand and struck the bronze clock inside the chief's hut. As the hum signifying the duel's end pierced the beast-hide walls, the two Ratman Warriors on guard outside immediately straightened their backs.
Huh?
'The Holy Duel is over?'
'I wonder if Chief Axenel beat that human!'
With these thoughts, they held out the keys clutched in their claws. With a soft CLICK from the lock, the heavy wooden doors swung open, revealing Axenel's corpse sprawled across the blood-soaked, beast-hide carpet.
"Ah!?"
"What is this!?"
"What happened!?"
"You... you actually killed Chief Axenel!?"
Qin Feng's icy gaze swept over the two Ratman Warriors, but his tone was unusually calm:
"Yes."
"I killed him."
"He cheated in your 'Holy Duel.' He tried to use numbers to take my life, but unfortunately for him, his skills weren't up to the task. He couldn't beat me."
"So I executed him."
