Herag promptly cast an Absolute Defense on himself, then kicked the stone away with one swift motion.
The stone was much heavier than it appeared, but with Herag's power, he could still kick it away.
After the stone flew far, the cursing sound could no longer be heard, and Herag felt inexplicably relieved.
Only then did he realize that he was drenched in sweat, completely unaware of these changes just moments before.
Herag glanced in the direction where the stone had fallen and turned back to the dilapidated inn beside him.
He pondered, "This place is too dangerous; even a random stone poses a threat."
Herag was contemplating whether to stay here or continue exploring other places. Without understanding this place, there was no significant difference between the two choices—just a matter of luck.
While he was pondering by the inn, he suddenly heard a slight sound on his right.
Herag looked up to see a palm-sized black humanoid creature.
