Chapter 54: Reinforcements and Conclusion

The strange noise from outside made Raine's heart sink, immediately tightening his recently relaxed nerves.

"Could there be more enemies?" he wondered.

He gripped his Short Sword tightly, fighting through the pain and exhaustion in his body as he cast a vigilant gaze toward the shattered door.

In the very next second, three figures radiating a chilling aura stepped into the inn's hall, which was thick with the stench of blood and dust. It was the three Professionals of the Ring of Steel.

"Phew, reinforcements have finally arrived," Raine muttered. Seeing these three, his taut nerves finally relaxed completely.

The blond man leading them had eyes like lightning, swiftly sweeping across the entire hall. When his gaze landed on the blood-soaked Raine and the Bear Goblin corpse at his feet—its neck still gushing blood—a fleeting trace of surprise flashed across his composed face.
