"Boss, are we just going to let him go like that?"
A hint of confusion appeared on Abi's somewhat naive face.
He lowered the wooden shield with iron edges from his front, still holding the recently purchased one-handed sword in his right hand.
A few minutes ago, they faced that sharp-featured and imposing cold black-haired adventurer.
The scene reached a stalemate.
Even the mist floating in the air seemed to freeze, making him afraid to take a deep breath.
Just when Abi thought he was about to engage in the first "real" battle of his short adventurer career,
Adeline, whom he called "Boss" and was also their team leader, took the initiative to lead them back a few steps.
At the same time, she reversed her grip on the one-handed hammer in her hand, swinging it lightly like a pendulum towards the opponent twice.
Signaling they had no hostility while giving the initiative to the other side.
There was no reply.
