Gently caressing the footprints with my fingertips, I checked the condition of the earth.
[By the looks of it…… It’s already been a long time since these people passed through here.]
If they’re on the move, it doesn’t seem like they would be around anymore huh.
I stand up.
[We should go.]
[Yes.]
We began advancing with caution.
Like that, we made our way through the dense bushes……
[……This.]
Seras gasped.
There were several Golden-eyed monsters before our eyes.
There were around twenty of them…
And all of them were corpses.
Blood was splattered all around.
They were splashed on the trunks of trees and the grass.
Fragments of flesh were also scattered about.
If this was a scene of a crime, it would have been quite a “gruesome scene”.
Kneeling down in front of the nearest corpse, I examined it.
I then raised my gaze and looked at the other corpses.
[What a surprise.]
This isn’t within the depths.
But even if it wasn’t, the monsters in the Golden Demon Zone were feared in this continent.
Even so…
[Some of these monsters tried to get away.]
There were signs that they had tried to escape.
A monster from the Golden Demon Zone had been frightened so much that it tried to flee.
The people responsible for this carnage, they were at least—–
People that don’t have any problem fighting against Golden-eyed monsters in the Demon Zone.
I can see it in the bodies and the conditions of the scene.
All in all, these monsters were killed without being able to fight back at all.
Moreover—— they weren’t overlooked.
It’s not just one or two monsters that tried to escape.
There’s also one that had its defenseless back slashed……
They didn’t overlook the monsters that tried to escape and went out of their way to chase them down and kill them.
[There are a lot of monsters that seem to have been slashed with swords…… From Seras’s eyes, how good are they?]
[They must have been quite experienced in the way of the sword.]
Seras guessed without a second thought.
[Even more than you?]
[——I’m not sure without seeing them myself. However, I’m sure that their abilities aren’t average. Most of all……]
[It doesn’t seem like they were seriously fighting these monsters huh?]
[Yes.]
[……………………]
Who are they?
What the heck are these people doing here?
We followed more footprints.
Looking at the direction of the footprints…
For now, it seems that they were headed in the same direction we’re heading.
The corpses of monsters lying around became a familiar sight for us.
There were even some corpses that were being pecked by a bird.
Judging by the footprints, there must be at least eight of them.
Speaking of which……
