On the rooftop of the base, Viktor stood still, scanning the surrounding area. His eyes narrowed as a swirl of deep purple energy began forming in the center of the base's main courtyard.
WUUUUUUSHHH!!! CRAAAK!!
A portal tore open wide like a gash in reality. Wind burst outward in all directions. A strange aura leaked from the rift, prompting the stationed guards to raise their weapons immediately.
Viktor activated his [Appraisal] skill the moment a figure stepped out of the portal.
A small humanoid creature covered in fur, barely a meter tall. Though tiny, its body was lithe and muscular. Its face resembled a wolf, complete with protruding fangs. It held a broken, rusty sword—but its eyes radiated a murderous instinct.
[Kobold – Rank 2]
"Huh, just a Rank 2 Kobold?" Viktor muttered casually, but unease stirred in his gut.
TAP! TAP! TAP! Quick, small footsteps echoed from within the portal.
ZAAHHHH!!!ZAAAAAHHH!!!
