As Rein was running toward the temporary camp while continuously activating his sensing technique every now and then. He was doing that not only to find other humans but also to avoid large groups of monsters.
But this was actually making Rein a bit worried because if Ruby went into her berserk mode, then her presence in his technique would be similar to that of a monster, so by avoiding them, there was a chance that he was also avoiding Ruby.
After talking for the whole night, Rein beca quite fond of Ruby. So he did not want to see her in any danger. But if Rein went around checking all the monsters and monster groups, then that would be extrely troubleso.
But still Rein tried to best to cover all the areas where Ruby might go. Last night, they had discussed a little bit about the areas they were going to be checking next, so Rein had so ideas about where Ruby could be. And it turned out that fate was on Rein's side that they.
He was soon able to find a badly injured Ruby fighting off against a horde of about a dozen monsters. There were various kinds of monsters in this group, Ruby was already badly hurt. If Rein did not intervene, she most probably would have died within fifteen more minutes or so.
Rein did not waste any ti and started attacking those monsters. In her berserk state Ruby was fighting like crazy. But after seeing that Rein was here, her ability was imdiately deactivated and she fainted after giving Rein a helpless smile.
It looked like Ruby's condition was even worse than Rein and seen. Her ability was actually holding all the injuries back forcefully. So as soon as her ability was deactivated, she was not able to even move her body anymore.
Seeing that Ruby had this much belief in him, Rein started to fight in a defensive way. This way of fighting did take a bit longer to wipe out all the monsters but it was the safest way to ensure that Ruby was not hard anymore than this.
After taking care of all the monsters, Rein imdiately started to run toward the temporary base while carrying Ruby on his back. This ti he was carrying her on the back because he needed to be quick this ti. And as Rein had already rescued Ruby, he started to completely avoid all the monsters that he sensed.
Rein was able to avoid combat this way for quite so ti. But very soon while running Rein noticed that three groups of monsters were quickly coming toward him. The way they were targeting him, Rein would have a very hard ti running away. It looked like soone or sothing that had the knowledge of Rein's exact location was directing those monsters to pincer attack him from all sides.
Rein still tried to avoid them for a bit more ti but he soon noticed that it was impossible. The being who was behind this monster rampage was directly targeting Rein. He would not be able to avoid fighting now.
Rein was not really worried about fighting those monsters. The total number of monsters attacking was about 60 and if any monster among them was not insanely powerful Rein should not have too much trouble.
But Ruby's presence here made the situation troubleso. Against so many monsters, even if Rein went all out, he would not be able to perfectly protect Ruby. Rein started to think a lot about a solution to this problem but nothing was coming to his mind.
Rein still tried to do his best to avoid the encounter as much as possible. He was hoping that Ruby would soon awoke up and that would open up more options for Rein. But his wish was not answered and even when Rein was able to see those monsters coming toward him at full speed, she was still unconscious.
Rein had used as many potions and dicine in her as he could and had tried to use all the possible thods to awake her up. But even then, she did not respond at all. If she was not breathing slightly, anyone would have thought that she was already dead.
As it looked like fighting was the only choice for Rein, he imdiately got ready for that. He put Ruby down on the ground and covered her with the strongest barrier that he could cast. It was a three layered barrier and it was also extrely durable. Rein was sure that even if all the attacking monsters attacked it at the sa ti, this barrier would still be able to hold on for so ti.
Then finally it was ti for Rein to start the battle. As the monsters got closer to him, he started to sense their aura. Currently only one group among the three was attacking Rein so the pressure on his could only increase from now onwards.
One particular aura in this group even made Rein a bit worried. From the looks of its, this was one of the monsters that the report had described as being stronger than UR grade. That did not an that this monster was stronger than all the UR grades but were at least strong enough to kill one or more UR grades.
If this was the only such monster attacking him so far, then the situation was still under Rein's control. But if the other two groups of monsters had more than one such monster in their group, then even Rien might be in trouble. Rein judged that, if he went all out, at most he would be able to take on five monsters of this calibre even with his inherent special abilities activated.
Anything more and the result would beco uncertain.
So Rein was planning to get rid of this monster group, at least of the strong monsters leading the group as soon as possible. That would increase his chance to get out of this situation without sacrificing anything higher.
...
While Rein was getting ready to fight against a group of monsters with all his might, Sophia had already returned back to the temporary base camp. Actually all the monsters who were rampaging right now were not coming outside the borders of the Ashen Barrens. For that reason, by moving the camp away from its previous dangerous location, everyone was able to take a breather.
But Sophia was still extrely worried as she was unable to find Rein in the camp. Sophia had gone quite deep inside the Barrens so she needed to take a good amount of ti to return back here. So Rein should have already been in the base but that was not the case.
For so reason, even the modified drones were unable to operate properly now and telling the participants about the news of the rampage was the last thing that it was able to do. So Sophia was also not able to know any information from the organisers except for the last location where Rein was over an hour ago.
Sophia was completely confident in Rein and his powers but still she was not able to stop worrying about him. So she did not waste anymore ti thinking and went back inside the Ashen Barrens to search for him.
So what would happen next in this sudden and unexpected rampage ?
