Lux and his friends headed to the Figaro Garden in high spirits. Their goal was to defeat the Red-Eyed Terror Mantis as a graduation ceremony for Colette and the others for reaching the Apostle Rank.
However, just as they entered the Garden, over a hundred dwarves could be seen near the Garden's entrance.
There were some Dwarves with injuries, a few of them already passed out. A grim expression was across their faces as they discussed with each other. All of them were Solaians and, from what Lux could tell, something major had happened. Otherwise, there was no reason for all of them to gather near the entrance instead of exploring the garden and hunting for monsters.
"Did something happen?" Colette asked one of the Cleric Dwarves that was tending the injured.
The Dwarf nodded and told her about the appearance of a mutated beast that they had never seen before.
