The last monster ran in the opposite direction, but Zheren raised his hand. With a single throw, he hurled a dagger he had pulled from a small pouch that was strapped to a cord tied around the waist of his armor.
The dagger lodged directly into the spine of the fleeing monster. The creature collapsed to the ground without a single scream. Zheren walked up to the monster, finished it off, retrieved his dagger, and put it into his spatial bag. Then he went to each corpse and placed them into the spatial bag as well.
Yes, it was quite unusual for someone like Zheren, but he had learned how to throw daggers.
It was actually Itai who first came up with the idea, because some monsters would try to flee, and since Zheren wasn't exactly fast, he had to chase them for a long time. He grew to like throwing daggers and now sometimes used them even in normal combat, though he was still far more experienced with a sword.
