Chapter 278
Splash!
A trout leapt from the river.
Perhaps it, too, rejoiced at the rare sunlight breaking through the mist.
But the trout—no, to be more precise—
Splash! Splash!
The trout began to jump frantically the moment he stepped into the water.
Was this some kind of instinctual survival response?
The fish were desperately flailing, trying to escape, and he could only tilt his head in confusion.
"What’s wrong with these things?"
He had no intention of harming them, yet their panicked behavior was incomprehensible to him.
For a moment, he wondered if someone had drugged the entire school of fish.
But soon—
Rumble!
"Ah… so that’s why."
He realized the cause.
The battle in the distance.
Even though the battlefield was far from here, the tremors were enough to send the fish into a frenzy.@@novelbin@@
It was proof that an enormous clash was unfolding.
However, despite knowing this—
"Should I just catch one and make sashimi?"
He remained at ease.
It wasn’t that he failed to grasp the gravity of the battle.
He simply trusted them.
He had clashed swords and shields with them, had trained them firsthand.
"There’s no need to worry."
They were strong.
Individually, they were powerful, and together, they became dozens of times stronger.
What do you think?
