The group of travelers had regrouped and were heading towards the students. Lily had been watching the fight carefully and wanted to join in, but she knew her duty was to stay by the students side, in case anything happend. There weren’t many strong creatures in the underground tunnels. Other than the hounds and the king tier beast. They hadn’t run into anything else down here.
Still, that didn’t mean there was nothing. Also, the group was unaware of just how strong these students they were protecting really were.
As she saw the two twins walking over still groggy, she rushed over to their side. "Are you both alright, I saw what happened, just who was that guy?" She asked as she gave her shoulder to one of the bald headed twins.
"That’s what we want to know as well." Andre replied. "You students, you’re uniform, I assume you are from one of the military bases out on an outing. Second years right?"
"Actually we’re first years." Cia replied, going over to the travelers side. She still hadn’t grown fond of the others. Especially since Pio had tried to kill her not too long ago and she didn’t know why, but she had the strangest feeling that he was looking at her in a weird way.
Every so often her eyes would meet his. When this usually happend, one person would find the whole thing awkward and turn their head , but when it happend with her and Pio. He would continue to stare into her, as if he was picturing something. It gave her the shivers and she was a lot more trusting of the new travellers.
"It’s a good thing we came in time then." Andy replied. "What are the military thinking sending in first years, have the times really gotten that desperate?"
"Well, if you look at the structures around us perhaps." Andre said. "I wanted to ask you guys, what happened? The king tier beast on the ground, did you see what happened to it and do you know what that other creature was, and last of all? What about the strange Demon masked man?"
Peter, Vorden and Layla wanted to keep their mouths shut. They were tired from the battle and worried if they were to explain things now, they might let something slip up. On the other hand, saying nothing would make them seem suspicious.
The others looked in Vorden’s direction, he was usually the best when it came to coming up with things. They all gave the nod confirming he would be the one to come up with the story, but just as he was about to speak, Cia had chimed in.
"That king tier beast, it was killed by..." Cia had seen who had delivered the last blow. Although Fex was the strange creature that had mostly injured it. She had seen that it was actually Quinn who had killed it.
"It was killed by me." Another voice interrupted before Cia was able to finish her sentence.
"Logan are you okay?" Layla asked.
"I’ll live." Logan replied. His wounds on the outside had healed up from the little robots, but his ribs still hurt a little as he breathed in. He then walked over to the travelers and lifted up showing his wrist watch reavilling he was a level 8.
"It took everything I had with the help of my friends here, but we were finally able to kill the king tier beast. Right after, that strange creature had appeared and had taken me out of the fight, leaving the others to fight for themselves. As for the strange person who appeared at the end. Your guess is as good as ours. He only appeared when you guys saw him as well."
Andre started to think about Logan’s words. They were convincing and the power level on his watch was even more convincing, but what had convinced him more than anything was the starne round circular contraption that was on top of his hands. He noticed straight away that they were used to create energy weapons.
With the use of an energy weapon, what Logan had said would be quite achievable. Especially as a level 8 ability user. Also it was hard to imagine why the students would even lie in this type of situation, when they had seen first hand the creature trying to kill them.
