Mei frowned and asked in a confused tone, "Arion is what? Aunt Yuro, what is it?" Mei openly stared at her and continued, "Wasn't Arion with you? Where is he?" Yuro's expression became pained, berating herself for not being there for Arion and not knowing how to answer Mei. She finally said in a voice that seemed to have lost its power, "He is gone...the Dreadlings...they got him while he was trying to protect the others…" Yuro's head bowed, feeling complicated after letting out the truth before Mei.…-

"Oh, Miss Mei? I am afraid she is out and has not yet returned. Why don't you ask Arion? Maybe he will have an idea when she will return." "Arion…" Silvi's parents suddenly remembered that Arion had also gone along with the other youngsters, but they did not see him among Cayden's group. They wondered if they missed him out because of being worried too much about their daughter. So Silvi's mother, Sana, asked her friends standing behind, "Can you go and find out if Arion returned with them? Also, one…

But just when he thought they were not going to bite him, one of them suddenly bit his leg. "Aaaah!!!" Arion didn't feel any pain but remembering the horrendous state in which Ina ended up after getting bitten terrified him, thus making him shout in panic. He didn't dare to imagine how much pain he would have really felt if he was not disabled. But not feeling pain didn't mean that nothing happened to his leg. He saw his leg profusely bleeding as the strong jaws of the Dreadling drilled into his…

Cayden was surprised to see Nena catching up with her eyes bloated with tears. He looked behind to see and was shocked to see Arion being left behind to face numerous Dreadlings all on his own. He unconsciously stopped as he asked Nena, "Why did you leave him??" Nena pulled along Cayden and continued running as she said, breaking into sobs, "H-He wants to save us. Don't stop running...otherwise...it will all be for nothing!" However, inwardly she hated herself for leaving Arion behind. Just a while ago,…

Nena's eyes widened hearing Arion's words, "Of course, not! I am not leaving anyone else behind. I can get you out!" She said stubbornly, thinking as the pain of leaving behind Ina's body stung her heart. However, she was impressed by Arion's courage despite his condition and moved by his intentions. But she still wasn't the kind to leave behind someone just to save her own life. Still, Arion seemed even more adamant than her as he grasped her wrist and said, "Don't be foolish, Nena! I would only drag…

The youngsters felt the air around them becoming gloomy and ominous as the number of Dreadlings that emerged increased. At first, it was just one, and even that was enough to send tremors across their hearts. They had to risk their skins to kill it, and even then, they ended up losing one of their friends, who was like a family member to them. But when they saw a second Dreadling crawling out...their hearts almost fell out, thinking how in the hell could they even face two of these monsters at the same…

"No! Don't lie, Cayden!" Nena emotionally cried as she continued to shake Ina's listless body. "Ina...come back...please...you can't leave…" Despite what she said to Cayden, in her mind, she knew that what he said was the truth. But her heart refused to accept it and continued to weep bitterly. Cayden wasn't feeling any better seeing Ina's ghastly corpse, making his eyes well up with warm tears. Even though he knew that lots of people die to these Dreadlings every day, he and his friends had never…

*Sphhhlt!* Cayden's longsword and Alv's axe found their mark and stabbed right at its ugly-looking head, puncturing its eyes as well. Even Nena, who was timid by nature, showed a fierce expression on her childish face as she kept on applying pressure on her spear, which had already pierced through the back of the Dreadling, holding it in place for Cayden and Alv to strike it down without worrying about it escaping. Cayden was the only one who had little experience in dealing with Dreadlings since his…

"No! Don't come here!" Ina shouted as she waved her hands in panic. She knew if Bari kept on running towards her, then the Dreadling would attack all three of them, and she wouldn't be able to save Silvi. Bari was not in the mental state to process Ina's words. All he wanted was to get away from this frightening creature behind him, and unconsciously he felt it a bit more safe to run towards Ina, thinking that she could help him out. But alas, he didn't think before that Ina already had her hands full…

As soon as it opened its jaws, it spat out a grey-colored liquid towards Silvi, who was standing closest to it. Silvi dodged in panic while using her daggers to shield herself. However, it was not that effective in protecting herself from the Dreadling's spit completely. "AAHH!!" Silvi cried out in horror and pain as some of that ominous-looking grey liquid fell on her right arm because she could not dodge in time. A sizzling sound came from her skin where the grey liquid had fallen. And soon, her skin…
