Before long, Xu Yanwu, who looked like a lump of charcoal on the ground, spat out a puff of black smoke and slowly crawled to his feet. He then sat on the cart and rubbed his temples.
"Master, are you...?"
Yae Sakura looked at Xu Yanwu in that state and asked what had happened to him.
"Little Sakura..." Seeing the situation around him made Xu Yanwu's headache worsen.
Then, upon seeing Theresa, she walked over to Xu Yanwu and asked curiously, "Xu Yanwu, what... happened to you? Logically speaking, you shouldn't be this weak..."
Thinking of the Red Fire Dragon that had been driven away earlier, Theresa said, "How did you provoke the Red Fire Dragon? That's a monster from much later on."
It would have been fine if Theresa had said nothing, but the moment she brought that up, Xu Yanwu got a little angry.
"How did I provoke that monster... How would I know if you ask me?"
Xu Yanwu said, "Whose Novice Mission starts by fighting a BOSS right away?!"
Xu Yanwu pulled his mission slip from his backpack and said, "Look at this! The target of my Novice Mission was that thing!"
"My beginner weapon was snatched away by that dragon too! It's still stuck in its forehead!"
"I even used a Flash Bomb, and I still couldn't get away from it."
Theresa looked at the mission slip in Xu Yanwu's hand, somewhat speechless.
"This should be a small error... How about I help you change it back now?"
"No need!"
Xu Yanwu sat on the cart, sulking. "Am I the kind of person who gives up that quickly? Besides, I can't swallow this anger!"
"Then when are you planning to swallow your last breath..." Theresa muttered softly.
"After I chop that big lizard to death!"
