But facing a top predator like the Warwolf, it still aroused its instinctual fear and ran away.
However, it wasn't too far away, and when called upon, it scurried right back.
Lance mounted the horse, then reached out to Grendel.
"Come."
With a simple word, Grendel put her hand in his and was pulled up onto the horse, her back involuntarily pressing against his strong chest, which instantly made her body tense up.
It was the first time she had been so close to a man…
"Hold tight."
Lance didn't waste words and spurred the horse into a gallop. His thoughts were not on Grendel at all, but immersed in his interface.
She had interrupted his review of the interface earlier, but now he finally had time to take a good look at his gains.
He focused his awareness on the interface. The first thing he saw was that the level column had finally changed from "Master" to "Champion."
