A fierce showdown with a lightning elemental. It had been the worst night in Arnold’s career as a hunter. The battle against the thunder dragon had been intense, but that was fought with thorough preparation and steely resolve. The battle with the elemental had occurred suddenly and without any prior information.

Falling Fog hadn’t even fought an elemental before. They didn’t have insight about the creature. They weren’t prepared. They even lacked raw strength. Their one stroke of luck was that it was a lightning elemental; in order to fight the thunder dragon, the members of Falling Fog had all built up lightning resistance. Even still, it was something of a miracle that they fought the elemental off before anyone was severely hurt.

As thanks they had been put up in the best lodge in town, but that wasn’t much compensation for risking their lives in battle.

In the spacious living room, they all sat still as corpses. They must not have slept well for many of them had bloodshot eyes or were bereft of energy. Their expressions varied, but they all had one thing in common: they lacked the ambition that all hunters should have.

Their large burns and wounds had been healed with potions and magic, but mental fatigue wasn’t dealt with so easily. He wasn’t as bad off as the rest, but even Arnold wasn’t fully recovered after the night’s rest. He could still move, but he was far from being at his best.

They had also burned through a considerable number of supplies and their gear needed maintenance. Their defensive items had taken an exceptional beating and some things would need to be replaced altogether.

“Like back home, they say it’s rare in Zebrudia for elementals to appear around human settlements,” Eigh said with a look of utter exhaustion. “Couldn’t find worse luck if you tried.”

“But we had to help.”

The lightning elemental was strong enough to be no easy foe for Arnold. Even a party like his rarely encountered them.

It had destroyed the bulwarks with a plethora of lightning bolts, and in a single attack, it incapacitated half the knights who had arrived. It flew at high speeds which prevented most arrows and magic attacks from landing. In the time it took to drive it off, everything in the vicinity of the gates was turned to ruins.

It was thanks to Arnold and the rest that it didn’t get any worse. If they had arrived just a few hours later the elemental might have advanced further into town and inflicted fatal damage on all of Elan. It seemed a miracle that nobody died in the whole affair.

Chloe had been there. A crowd had been there. If the Explorer’s Association made a request, it wasn’t easy to turn it down. But more than that, some things were just expected of a first-rate hunter.

“Well, it wasn’t all bad. It’s not how we planned it, but this helped spread the good name of Falling Fog,” Eigh said.

“Hmmm.”

“Not only that, people know that we’re enough to take on a higher-elemental.
