Renewed sense
"Is that an earthquake?" the mage asked.
But the scout, with his enhanced vision and senses, knew that something was wrong.
"No. It's not that. It's something much worse."
He asked permission from Ninth to separate from the group and try to see what was going on in the distance. Their leader agreed, only with the caveat that he should not go too far off.
The scout rushed to the direction of the rumbling, while the rest of the team remained in their places. Their hands were still placed on their weapons, ready to strike whenever something appeared.
After a few minutes, the scout finally returned.
But this time, his face was aghast. It was as if he had seen a ghost.
"Haa..haaa…"
And judging by how exhausted he looked, it seemed that the scout was forced to run away from whatever he saw, or else he would have been caught by them.
"What did you see?" Ninth asked.
