"Really?" Ruby looked around but couldn't see anyone.
They could still find so traces of blood on the ground, though. They all guessed that there might be so people who were unlucky and died when they tried to get out before.
Alia averted her eyes slightly.
Even if she had practiced swordsmanship with her older brother, this was the first ti she stumbled upon such a scene and it would be a lie if she said that she was calm. Her heart felt as if it was being stimulated.
Looking at the magic beasts in the distance, Alia's expression was solemn.
If these magic beasts co any closer, she would be the one to fight them.
"They're hiding," Riya replied. She didn't want to pay attention to these people because she guessed that they were fellow university students who were unlucky enough to be in the university when the earthquake happened.
Followed by the appearance of these magic beasts, people who wanted to go out didn't dare to go.
So of them who had done so were dead.
And the others were not stupid enough to follow the footsteps of these people.
'Eye of Sight,' Riya silently moved her finger and ford a small formation spell and used it on herself. This will increase her senses, allowing her to see further in the distance and possibly warn the others if there was any danger.
"Hmm, they're not going to attack us, right?" Alia was suddenly worried.
Ruby was stunned and asked, "Why would they attack us?"
"Because in the novels I read, there are many people who will attack the main character in apocalypse settings."
Ruby: "…"
Riya: "…"
"You're reading too much." Ruby rolled her eyes. As a proper dical student who was so busy with her own study and research, Ruby naturally never touched those novels. She would rather engage in research rather than reading fictional books.
"It's unlikely unless you're carrying sothing precious," Riya replied and pointed at Alia. "Our bag is pretty empty and you're carrying a sword. Do you think anyone in the right mind will attack you?"
While talking, Riya glanced at Ruby who was carrying kitchen knife. Only she didn't bring any weapon whatsoever.
The reason?
Because she didn't know how to use them.
Riya had long known that her coordination skills were really bad, which was one of the reasons why she had low talent to beco a warrior. In this life, it was not much better and Riya simply prepared so formation for herself in case it was necessary.
"Right." Alia glanced at her back and smiled bitterly. They didn't bring all of their resources this ti because they only planned to scout the area first.
"Let's take a look at the gate and see if the way out is open," Riya finally said. If they continued to stay here, it was unknown if there were would be so people who were attracted to their appearance.
"Got it."
The three of them started to move through the rubbles. Looking at the ruins of the building that they used to go in the past, they felt a bit complicated. Who would have thought that there would be such a large earthquake.
No matter where they looked at, all they could see was ruins.
There were only so buildings that still stood but based on the degree of damage, it might not last long.
Last night, they stayed in the building stupidly and it was Riya who used formation to maintain the building's structure. If she let go of the formation, the building will definitely collapsed.
So they had to find a different place to stay for the night.
Along the way, they also found so corpses, mostly only part of them. The torn flesh seed to tell them what kind of bitter battles these people had experienced.
"It's really miserable," Alia said and gripped her swords tighter.
She didn't want to die.
Ruby crouched down and furrowed her eyebrows when she looked at the scene in front of her. She glanced up. "Based on their wounds, it's estimated that they're attacked by a magic beast at a size of a tiger or even bigger."
"Huh? How do you know that?"
"The depths and wide of the wound is…"
"Wait, wait, don't start with your biology lecture." Riya raised her hand. She didn't want to suffer from biology lesson when they were outside this ti. It was enough that Ruby sotis shared her knowledge in their chat group.
Ruby could only shrug and stood up. "Can you beat a tiger, Alia?"
"…Please, I never truly try to fight," Alia said weakly. If not because her brother said that she had grown stronger and it was possible to fight against the ferocious beasts, it would be impossible for Alia to try coming out this ti.
Wouldn't it be better for them to stay inside and wait for rescue?
There was no need for her to torture herself like this.
Riya glanced at Alia and shook her head.
Looking at the distance where there were more magic beasts coming, Riya could guess that this is only the beginning.
'I have to clean up the crack.'
While Riya was not a person who was filled with righteousness or whatsoever, but she also couldn't possibly let these magic beasts went rampart like this. If she had been a powerful rank 7 magician like in her previous life, she would have long used large scale formation to trap and destroy these magic beasts.
Unfortunately, she was not.
Riya knew this very well that her mana was limited and their Green Planet was slowly recovering the mana and aura, allowing their practice to beco faster.
But it was not enough.
Facing so many magic beasts coming out, Riya knew that this was far from enough.
She had to get stronger faster and used those large scale formations in her previous life to create a place where they could stay and no magic beasts could attack them.
