"We are trapped," Finn said in grim tone.
Their scout just returned and said that there was poisonous miasma ahead of them and they needed to go back, but behind them was a horde of monsters.
They had been in this Cassius mountain for three days and it was hard to find something to eat, especially when they had to feed around five hundred people. They were the pack member of Golden Light pack and all of them were children and elderly people. Also, with additional thirty warriors that left behind to guard the pack.
Because of that reason too, they couldn’t move as fast as they wanted.
With that statement, panic waved among the people. The elderly people sat down tiredly and the children were crying because they were hungry, while the rest of them were trying to figure a way out of this mess, but they couldn’t think of anything.
They couldn’t fight, they couldn’t move ahead, they couldn’t go back and if they stayed here for long, it was only a matter of time before the red smoke caught up to them and they were going to die because of the poison.
Abby hugged her baby tightly. Once again, she felt very helpless. She didn’t have enough strength to protect them against the poisonous miasma and she could feel it the way these people were disappointed in her and how they looked down on her.
Even when she was still holding her title as the Serafim, these people knew not to ask her for help, because they subconsciously realized she was not much of a help.
It triggered her again.
If Iris was here, she would be able to create a strong barrier and she felt these people wished it was the luna, who was here instead of her.
Abby tried to calm down her baby, she couldn’t produce enough milk for her, because she was hungry, but she couldn’t bring herself to ask for additional food when all of them were on the verge of starving.
Usually, Aliana would give half of her portion to her, but it was not enough and she barely produced milk for Bielle.
Abby was sorry for her baby because she couldn’t do anything right.
"Can you create a barrier for us to go through the miasma?" Aliana asked Abby silently, even though she knew the answer, but there was no other way for them.
"No," Abby replied through her gritted teeth. She used to force herself, until she crossed her limit, but this time, she knew she wouldn’t be able to do it, no matter how hard she tried.
"The monsters then..." Aliana muttered to herself. Their only chance to survive was to fight the monsters.
But, it would be a slaughter on their part if they chose this option. The elderly people and the children wouldn’t be able to fight and thirty warriors with them wouldn’t be able to protect the pack member and fought the monsters at the same time. It was a dead end.
And as if the situation couldn’t get any worse, their scout howled from the distance, indicating they were in danger and when they breathed the air, they immediately knew it was the monsters that finally caught up with them.
All the elderly and the children were crying and in panic, they immediately stood up and shifted into their beasts, but because they were not a fighter, they ran toward the poisonous miasma instead in order to get away from the monsters.
The warriors told them to not go toward that direction, but they didn’t listen. Everything was very chaotic, especially when they heard the monsters’ footstep and their growls that indicating they were coming closer to you.
