"Who are you?" Zero frowned as blades of darkness appeared in her hands while dense energy emanated from her.
"Girl, you're very strong, it's true, but you can't scare me with that!" Sarras exclaimed as he pointed at Zero, approaching her, "While you were eating fruit here, our situation was getting worse by the minute! This could be a real disaster! So, don't try to scare me."
Zero frowned, looked at Wain, and pounced on Sarras but did not attack as she did not want to hurt Wain's friends.
"What's going on?" Wain asked with a serious look as he crossed his arms.
"The last time you were here and enlarged the Chronicle of Void on the east side, there's new territory! It's pretty creepy, there's nothing but ruins and fog. It looks even worse than my dungeon!" Sarras exclaimed while pointing to the side.
"Yeah. I know what territories are in my Void. What's going on there? Why am I learning about it from you? Where are the others?" Wain uttered with a calm look as he waved his hand.
"They don't want to bother you because they think you need to rest, but I think it's an urgent problem! There are monsters in Misty Ruins!" Sarras shouted while waving his arms in a panicked manner.
Wain was silent for a while as he tried to understand what Sarras had said.
"Monsters...? Hey, maybe you overheated in the sun?" Wain asked in a mocking voice as he tilted his head, "What the fuck did you think was going to show up there? Dragons?!"
Bam.
Wain slammed the table with his fist as it smashed into the ground while the legs shattered into splinters.
Sarras shuddered as he had never seen Wain angry, and now he was on the verge of experiencing Wain's wrath on himself.
"Wait! I know how that sounds, but I wouldn't bother you over nothing!" Sarras put his arm out in front as though trying to stop Wain.
Wain stared at Sarras, sighed, and asked, "There's something wrong with these monsters, right?"
"Yeah..." Sarras nodded, "Come on. You should see for yourself."
"Okay. Zero, sorry we had to interrupt, but it looks like it's really something urgent." Wain said as he looked at Zero while rising.
"No. It's okay. We've talked enough already. I don't want you to get in trouble for this, but... I want to go with you." Zero uttered with a serious look.
"Maybe it's better without her...?" Sarras muttered with an awkward look.
"Sure. Let's go. I might need your help." Wain nodded, flapped his cloak, and headed toward Misty Ruins.
Zero smirked as she stared at Sarras before following Wain.
"Damn! I don't like that girl already!" Sarras muttered as he frowned in a disgruntled manner.
"Huh, like there's even one person in this world you like." Wain grinned with his hands in his pockets.
"Shit... I'm already regretting my decision to do this... This damn zone better go to hell!" Sarras shouted as he kicked the ground with an angry look.
...
After a while, they reached the borders of Misty Ruins. There was a dense fog that created an oppressive atmosphere and partially hid the ruined ruins.
Among the ruins walked strange monsters that, as though soulless puppets, walked from side to side. The monsters looked alike, they had creepy jaws, gray fur, and long arms with razor-sharp claws.
"Look! This is what I was telling you about!" Sarras exclaimed while pointing at the monsters.
'Hmm... Damn, they remind me something of that monster that I saw in the memory of Light Racer... But they're not as intimidating as though they were little copies...' Wain inwardly muttered while rubbing his chin.
"Hey! Wain! Can you hear me!" Sarras waved his hand in front of him.
"Yeah." Wain nodded, "Sarras, have you been told you're too impatient? It's annoying, you know?"
Sarras fell silent.
"These monsters are different from all the others, but what exactly is the problem? Aren't they monsters of this Void? In that case, they can't be enemies, right?" Wain asked while staring intently at the monsters.
"Not really." Suddenly came the voice of Elegan that was coming out from behind the trees.
"Oh, you're here already." Wain raised his eyebrows.
"Sure. We've been following you the whole time. I knew you would listen to Sarras." Elegan said in a calm voice as he shrugged.
"We...?" Wain uttered with a confused look.
"Yes. I'm here, too." Frigus said while stepping out of the shadows.
"Well, everyone's here, just fine. Did it really take me to get Wain to pay attention?" Sarras uttered in a disgruntled manner as he crossed his bony arms.
Elegan nodded, looked at the monsters, and said, "Wain, these monsters weren't here when this territory appeared. Moreover, this whole area is very strange. We haven't found any resources here, yet these monsters are slowly taking over other areas."
"What?" Wain muttered while in disbelief, "They may look intimidating, but they sure don't look like invaders."
"Well, I agree with you, but it looks like they're doing it for no particular purpose, just out of instinct. Look." Elegan pointed at one of the monsters.
This monster was the same as the others, but around it was an unnatural amount of mist that enveloped it like a veil.
Crackling.
The monster opened its jaw wide and swallowed up all the mist, then white waves of energy went through its body that burst out of its body in a powerful stream and crossed along the ground somewhere deep into the territory.
The monster grew slightly larger, its claws longer as more teeth appeared on its jaw. At the same time, part of the forest turned gray, it was only a few meters, but the mist had already appeared there.
"Shit... It looks like that might actually be a problem..." Wain muttered with a confused look.
"I wonder how strong these monsters are?" Zero smirked as her aura intensified.
"Do you want to fight them?" Frigus asked as he touched the hilt of his sword.
"Sure, isn't that the only option?" Zero shrugged in a careless manner.
