Souta finally noticed that the rewards were higher than before. It only means that the difficulty was higher.

2 skill points were one of the rewards of the quest to rescue the boy's big sister. It means that this quest was harder than conquering a low-level dungeon. Conquering a low-level dungeon only gave him 1 skill point.

"It seems that getting back that sword is not that easy, huh?" Souta said in a low voice.

Tak! Tak! Tak! Tak!

A sound of footsteps echoed in the dark alley. No other sound can be heard except the sounds of footsteps.

Souta turned his head and saw a figure of a man approaching him and the boy. The man has deep red eyes that gleamed in the dark.

He frowned and observed the man. The man was walking in unsteady steps. It feels like he would fall any second and white liquid was flowing down from his mouth.

"What's this? This is not an undead..."

Blood vessels pop out in the forehead of the man. The man gritted his teeth before pouncing towards Souta.

"Yuko!!"

Souta shouted and a huge bear appeared in the corner. Yuko stood up and pinned down the man on the ground.

"Argh!! It hurts!! It hurts!!" The man groaned in pain as a huge bear was pinning him down.

"Don't move," Souta said to the boy before he approached the man.

He squatted down and observed him. He was sure that it was not undead. The man has berserk energy around his body. This energy drives him wild and insane. This led him to attack Souta.

Souta suddenly recalled what Mark said before.

"I'll warn you don't wander in the night. They only attack the outsiders." was what he said.

There's no scenario like this in the game. Also, the boy saw a demon behind his sister before she disappeared.

Souta knocked the man unconscious using his fist. He looked at Yuko and said, "You can let him go now, you did a good job today."

Yuko then turned around and growled angrily. Souta also turned his head and saw a dozen figures in the shadows.

"This is bad, there is something wrong in this town."

Souta raised his hand and the shadows beneath the figures burst out of the ground. It moved quickly and restrained everyone.

[Shadow Bind]

"Let's go Yuko!" Souta turned around and he carried the little boy on his shoulder before he left.

"W-what's happening, brother?" The boy was flustered.

"I don't know." Souta shook his head and made a turn in the alley.

There were people there waiting for him. Souta clenched his fist and restrained those people using [Shadow Bind].

Souta ran over those people while Yuko smashed them on the walls with her thick arms causing them to fell unconscious.

'If I'm alone I could just jump over the roofs but Yuko is here with me.' Souta thought while glancing at his back.

Yuko was following him. Every step that she made caused a loud sound attracting other people.

Souta smiled wryly at this. He then ran at the direction of the carriage of the dwarf, the plaza.

...

Just like what he expected, the carriage was also under attack by those abnormal people. The three adventurers who left with him were also here.
