Dunn glanced at his companions, one after another. Then he raised one of his hands reluctantly. "I would rather die fighting than get eaten by one of those bastards."
'Huh... Didn't expect this guy to have guts.'
Caleb couldn't help but smile as he heard Dunn's answer.
Fushigiro nodded, then looked at the other members one by one.
"How about you guys? I know it's dangerous. But it's better than waiting for our death here."
"No need to say anything. I'm in." Jin shrugged and narrowed his eyes with a faint smile on his face.
"Me too..." x3
Seeing this, Miles smiled warily. Then he looked at Tamasai, Fushigiro, and Jin, and felt reassured. As long as those guys were beside them. He felt a lot safer.
"Let's go then?" Caleb asked. He felt lethargic at present because of his broken arm. The ache and the intense pain were eating his sanity.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at his arm, limped like a dead dog beside him and he couldn't even raise it. It drastically affected his shoulder and arm mobility. He sighed depressedly. 'It might take a month for this to fully recover. How unlucky...'
'What a mess...'
A sigh escapes his mouth. It wasn't evening yet, but the clouds loomed above them. The presence of thick, dark clouds covering the sky. These clouds made the atmosphere even more gloomy.
He also felt the increase in humidity. The air feels moist. He even noticed his hair and his shirt were slightly damp. 'Is it about to rain?' he thought as he felt the wind around become faster, making the leaves of trees around dance.
Fushigiro and others just stared at the piles of debris with a downcast expression. The once they called 'Home' became unrecognizable.
BOOM!
A flash of lightning cut across the sky, followed by a loud thunderous sound shattered the silence like a glass shattering. Then drops of water fell to the members and the sound of continuous gentle pattering.
The mood of the hunting party was at its lowest. A bitter sigh escaped from Dunn's. As he watched the rain become more and more intense thunderous roar sounded in the backdrop.
Luna, Andre, Clifford, and Fatty held each other's hands as they looked at the house with tearful eyes. They knew that it was the last time they would see and they would have to escape soon. Their hope for the past few years... They have to say goodbye. Particularly, Andre. He looked at the house with the corners of his mouth droop, creating a noticeable frown. His lips were unnoticeably quivering.
'They are still kids after all.' Caleb sighed as he saw their slumped shoulders.
The members of the hunting party look better but Caleb could still see the reluctance in their eyes. No one spoke. Such a mood was quite contagious, so Caleb decided to just close his eyes and enjoy the relaxing sensation brought by the raindrops bathing him. After all, he didn't have much feeling about the house. He was from another world and hadn't spent much time living in it. It was a strange feeling. He was like a spectator, detached from the emotional scene around him.
