*Aoooo!* "!!!" All of them turned their heads to the source of the howl, realizing that they didn't have a lot of time left. There were even multiple roars coming from the woods. Jay and the others climbed as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, Clovis went straight to the ruin to stop any beasts from coming out. The first thing he did once standing at the entrance was activate the flashlight. Even though there was some light near the entrance, it would be hard to find anything much further inside. So, he tried to make sure there were no beasts near the entrance. He also pulled out his blade, ready to take them on until the rest of the group managed to enter this ruin. Just like on the outside, the beasts inside the ruin seemed to be responding to the call. Even though a lot of them had been killed, it seemed that there were still a lot of them inside judging from the sounds. Clovis took a deep breath. It would be troublesome fighting all those beasts with only one blade, so he took a few steps back and planned to use his reflex and slow motion vision to cut down all the beasts that became visible. The beasts charged forward. The tunnel wasn't too big. Two beasts should have no problem walking side by side, but that was the limit. Clovis could see the glowing eyes staring at him from the darkness, approaching him at lightning speed. The first beast came out, getting illuminated by the sunlight near the entrance. Clovis took a step forward while waving his blade to the right. The beast stepped on the wall and leaped to the other side, but Clovis reacted right away and used the short sword to stab him. The beast smacked the short sword down. Clovis held it hard, but that smack ended up knocking his hand down. A second beast then became visible, so Clovis hurriedly swung his other sword. The beast planned to knock it away as well, but Clovis twisted his wrist a little bit, changing the trajectory of the sword for a second and avoiding the paw. After that, Clovis turned it back and slashed the beast's head. Clovis kicked the beast's head at the second beast that was about to arrive, causing this beast to flinch. Clovis took advantage of that opportunity to close in and strike the second beast. "On it!" Jay turned around as soon as Melody lowered the flashlight. When Jay had passed Melody, she pointed the flashlight to the entrance. On the other hand, Kanaria raised her rifle while Clovis turned on his weaker flashlight. "Go!" Clovis shouted while moving forward. He cut down one beast after another while staying on the right, allowing Kanaria to shoot from the left. She shot all the beasts ten or even twenty meters away from them, allowing Clovis to actually take a breath. He killed all the beasts that were close to him and immediately charged forward to those suppressed beasts. That was when he noticed something unexpected. "Huh?" Clovis suddenly stopped on his tracks when he noticed something on the wall. Clovis was a bit too distracted so he actually pointed his flashlight at the wall. How could he not be distracted? There were actually markings on the wall. It was so detailed that the beasts shouldn't be able to create it. The markings had no drawing or something easier to recognize. There were only weird patterns or symbols that didn't make any sense. Clovis widened his eyes in shock as he couldn't believe what he just saw. This place was a magma vent originally, so no humans should have been here to create these markings. The only reason he wanted to visit this place was because he knew this ruin would be filled with beasts. But he never thought that he would find all these markings. However, Kanaria's voice soon startled him. "Clovis! The light!" That was right. He was still in the middle of a fight. Although it was only for two seconds, the beasts managed to close in, to the point that when he turned the flashlight back to the front, a beast was already in front of him, pouncing on him. *Roar!*@@@@
