When something dangerous catches you unaware, it would be very hard to escape from it because you weren’t expecting it at all. The only way to escape from it is if you’re so good at escaping from dangers.
The people the magical beast had killed consisted of both males and females, young and old. But the old ones take the higher count.
Now, anytime a beast attacks the kingdom, it does end up killing people from one community to the other, and that’s exactly what was happening right now.
The beast attacking the kingdom now had killed people and still planned on killing more people…
Whenever these beasts attack, the only set of people that would be able to bring them down were the warriors. These warriors had gotten to train their powers to the very brim, both the main and the minor ones.
They’re good at martial arts, and they know how to make use of traditional weapons. Most of these warriors were SSS-rank benders.
They’d face the beast head on and eventually bring it down no matter what rank of beast it was. If it was the highest rank of beast, it would take a little time to bring it down, but they’d eventually bring it down.
But the thing was that none of these warriors had arrived to begin battling the magical beast yet, so it kept doing what it was doing…destroying things and killing people.
It had moved to different communities by now, and not even a single warrior had arrived to begin battling it yet. As it was reaching different communities, people kept running for their dare lives.
Some people had already heard ahead of time that a beast was moving around, and would most likely reach where they were soon. So they’d already stayed in a safe place a long time ago so they wouldn’t be affected by its attack…
The king had already heard of the beast’s attack by now, he was informed by one of the messengers in the palace. And he sent a few of them to go inform the warriors about its attack.
Whereas, before the messengers could even reach them one after the other to inform them, they’d already heard and were preparing for the battle.
They gathered at a particular place, each of them with their swords, some with bows and arrows, and so on. And after getting information of where the beast was at currently and where it would reach next, they began heading there.
Now, the beast began attacking at a time when academies were already nearing closing hours. So during the time the beast was still attacking, it reached closing hour as students in different academies began heading home.
Many of them weren’t aware of what was happening in the kingdom currently…
The ones that were aware didn’t let the students head home. They wanted another piece of information to reach them to know what the situation was like before they’d start releasing students to go home.
If the situation was favorable, let’s say warriors were already battling the beast or something, they’d release the students to head home. But if the situation wasn’t favorable yet, they wouldn’t.
The academy Ryan was attending hadn’t heard of the news yet, so the moment it got to closing hour, students began heading home. Some teachers began heading home immediately as well.
Ryan and Dylan had already walked out of the school compound by now along with other students walking on the road having no single idea of what was happening in the kingdom right now.
As they were walking, they were conversing about the things that took place at school today.
..They were still walking and conversing when they began noticing something.
They noticed the looks and the body reactions of some people standing not too far from them. The looks on their faces show something was happening, and they were so uneasy.
The people were also talking, but Ryan and Dylan couldn’t hear what they were talking about…they needed to get closer to them to hear what they were saying.
They eventually got closer to them, and these were the words they heard flow out of a man’s mouth,
“A magical beast is currently causing havoc across the kingdom. I even heard that it has taken the lives of some people, this is something that always happens whenever a magical beast attacks”.
From the look on the man’s face, Ryan and Dylan could tell he wasn’t joking, he was serious. The both of them glanced at each other with a bit of widened eyes the moment they heard those words flow out of the man’s mouth, then they focused their gazes back on the man.
“The magical beast had attacked several communities already from what I heard, but it hasn’t reached this community yet. Who knows, it might be heading toward this community already,
I better head home now, so I wouldn’t be affected by its attack if it reaches this community. I don’t have the strength to run fast, so I would be among the first people to get killed if it reaches this community, and I’m still here”.
Those were the words that flowed out of a certain woman’s mouth before she began walking away…
Ryan and Dylan glanced at each other again. This was serious.
“I think what they’re saying is true”. Dylan uttered glancing at Ryan.
“I believe so as well, so a magical beast is attacking currently? Damn! This is bad”. Ryan’s voice resounded glancing at Dylan as well.
“As known, this isn’t the first time a magical beast is attacking this kingdom, it’s happened numerous times in the past. But it’s been some time since a beast last attacked”. Dylan said to Ryan again.
Ryan nodded his head a little before saying, “That’s true”.
Due to the original Ryan’s memory, he remembered situations when magical beasts attacked in the past. But there was something he wanted to do though it was risky, he wanted to set eyes on the magical beast.
Leaving the original Ryan’s memories aside, he wanted to set eyes on a magical beast himself.
“What always hurts me about the attacks of these magical beasts is that they always end up killing a good amount of people. Wasting lives unnecessarily”. Dylan stated.
“Exactly, and according to what that man said, the one moving around the kingdom now had already killed people”. Ryan said glancing at Dylan.
“I just hope our families are safe wherever they are”.
“I hope so too, very important”.
The both of them resumed walking once again since they had to stop at some point to hear what those people were talking about.
They’d walked some distance when they noticed the amount of people walking on the road weren’t many. They were supposed to be more than this according to how it was always like before.
If they weren’t sure before, this was enough to make them sure that something was going on. A magical beast was truly terrorizing the kingdom…
People must have heard about what was happening, so they decided to stay at a safe place to avoid getting affected by the beast’s attack.
Ryan and Dylan kept glancing at each other from time to time as they were walking due to the things they were noticing. They weren’t even conversing with each other, they were just walking.
They were still walking when they noticed a group of people standing at a particular spot, and seems like it was due to the beast’s attack that was making them stand at that spot.
They were talking about something, and getting closer to them, Ryan and Dylan heard what they were talking about. This was the statement that flowed out of the mouth of a certain young man dressed in an orange robe,
“Warriors are already heading toward the beast’s location to begin battling it and to bring it down just as they’d always done in the past”.
After making that statement, the man mentioned the community where the beast was currently at and said he was heading there right now to watch the warriors battle and bring down the magical beast.
..And he wasn’t playing at all because the moment he was done saying that, he began heading toward the community, and some people followed him.
Even though it was dangerous, Ryan wanted to see the magical beast and watch the warriors battle it until they bring it down as well. So he planned on heading toward the community where the magical beast was currently at.
Glancing at Dylan, he said to him, “I’d love to head toward the community where the beast is at as well. I want to set eyes on the beast, and I want to see the warriors battle it until they bring it down”.
A bewildered expression appeared on Dylan’s face the moment Ryan said that, then he stated,
“Are you crazy? Do you know how dangerous that is?”.
“Yes, I know how dangerous it is, but I still want to do it, I’d make sure nothing happens to me. You can come along if you want”. Ryan said glancing at Dylan.
