The group immediately took their position and pulled their weapons out, ready for whatever creature that made that scream to come out. This has become something akin to second nature to the group.
Whenever they hear a weird noise, their first instinct is to grab their weapons and be ready for battle. It didn't matter if the noise was far or close, they had to be always ready for battle no matter the situation.
"What was that?" Emmy asked as she looked around her and saw nothing. The place was still as tranquil as ever. There was no movement or disturbance except for this sudden screech.
*BOOOOM*
Then, the group suddenly heard a loud explosion that shook the ground beneath them followed by a louder screech of total agony and pain.
"What the hell is going on?!" Herculia grumbled.
"Don't put your guard down!" Danny clenched his teeth.
"Can you feel that… Isla?" Arthur asked coldly, his eyes looked in one particular direction.
