Hearing Kassie's voice felt like the real breath of fresh air.
'What happened? Why was I not able to reach you?'
'Huh, why does she sound angry?'
'Because I am.'
A crooked grin crept onto my face. 'Oh? Were you worried about me?'
'Answer my question.'
'Fairly, I think it had something to do with the monster I was fighting. Kassie… have you ever fought a creature that isn't a Spirit Beast?'
'Yes. Humans.'
I hissed at her response while I walked forward, shifting Nisha's weight higher on my back.
'I can't believe she almost had me there.'
'Had you? I'm serious…'
'Of course you are, Kassie, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about something that isn't human and not quite Spirit Beast either, and definitely not a Spirit Summon.'
Kassie was silent for a few seconds, then her voice came: 'That is what you faced?'
