When Hikari and Ren saw that the monsters did not disappear, they became confused until Ren turned to see the distance.
The center of the city or the place where the two of them came from was enclosed by a thin layer of purple, that was almost invisible, and was only visible now because one could distinguish it thanks to the rays of sunlight.
"A dungeon ..." It was what Ren said when he saw how the center of the city was locked up, and that would explain, why the monsters turned to dust and dropped items, when they died and now that they have left, that rule does not apply to the monsters, and also because they found very few people, despite being a very crowded place.
Ren took a potion out of his inventory and drank it quickly, it was a mana recovery potion.
All the symptoms that Ren began to feel due to the lack of Mana were silenced by the potion and Ren's mind calmed and cooled down.
"Let's go" Ren started to run past Hikari who was barely taking her bike.
When Hikari caught up with Ren, he realized that he did not seem to be running at his top speed.
"Will not you get tired at this step Ren?" She asked while maintaining the same speed which was very high.
"Eeh ... no, I'm not even sprinting, I feel like I can run even faster, but I do not know how long I would last at that speed, since the System appeared many things changed"
"And I think more things will change ..." For a moment the image of his parents appeared in Ren's mind with a smile each when they received him back.
Only that image that happened for a moment ... is the motivation of Ren to move forward.

They continued advancing towards the North, during the way they were with several Goblins as with other beasts, but they avoided them since they did not have time to lose.
During the course of reaching the outskirts of Matsudo, the monsters began to diminish, but the kind of monsters that were rising.
From insect type to something like an amoeba.
The amoeba type would be the Slime, they only have a core similar to a ore of rustic ore inside their body and anything that enters them is corroded ... almost everything.
Of the insect type, only the ones that are already known would be up to now but now they have a size that exceeds that of an average adult easily.
Ren and Hikari were lucky to see them in the distance.
Also, while the two of them escaped, they heard many shots, the city became a war zone because of the disaster.
The buildings are no longer safe, because you no longer know what you will find inside, and it would be good to cross your fingers and hope that it is a goblin.
Speaking of the goblins, some who looked in better conditions and did not have the malnourished state, one was able to tear the door of a car as if nothing and then kill those who hid inside the car.
That was seen by Ren and Hikari when they stopped for a microsecond to rest until the idea was apparently discarded.

It did not take long for Hikari and me to find signs of the military in the shooting ...
"SECOND ROW ATTACK! ... FIRST ROW RETIRED AND RECHARGE! ... SIXTH AND SEVENTH, WHAT S%#T ARE WAITING TO GIVE SUPPORT !!" I could hear the voice of a woman screaming at the top of her lungs while the background was heard the shots.
There was an armored truck which was marked with a word 'Civil' while it was surrounded by 5 other trucks with the letters 'S.F' and there were many men and women dressed in completely black clothes.
All were arranged in eight rows and each consisting of ten people, of the 8 rows only six were firing while the other rows recharged their weapons and spare.
They were fighting against a horde of Goblins, and all those goblins showed indifference to the wounds, they did not scream even though one of their arms was flying through the air, there was no comparison between those goblins and those that I fought.
These goblins showed greater strength when I saw how they could move a vehicle with a kick.
Seeing what is happening in front of me. My backfilled with a cold sweat at the thought of what would have happened if I faced such monsters.
"CAPTAIN! THERE ARE TWO CIVILIANS AT 4, WEST DIRECTION !! "I only heard a scream almost similar to the strong one of the woman who was giving orders.
"FIVE MEN OF THE ROW EIGHT GO OUT. BRING THEM AND ASSURE THEM! "The woman turned to see us and then gave her orders.
Quickly 5 armed men came to our position.
"Follow us! We do not have much time! ... FORMATION PENTAGON!" One of the men who was surrounding us. told us that while confirming our security.
Hikari kept her bicycle in her inventory as it would be a hindrance to move.
Once we were escorted to the vehicle for civilians, I managed to see where many goblins came from, there were 4 open portals that did not stop sending goblins, one after the other.
* Sound of air pressure *
I turn to see the source of the sound and see how the rear of the vehicle is opened by the force of two large pistons, thus showing a large number of civilians inside. Most have a wound or are completely scared of what is happening around us.
'The normal behavior for someone who has only lived a peaceful life ...'
'Then ... my reaction in what converts me?'
I did not know when but I was already inside the vehicle and the hatch was being closed behind me.
* Knocking patter *
"ARE SURE! NOW WE CAN LEFT! "
For a few more seconds I could still hear the shots until the vehicle moved, some people fell to the ground for losing their balance.
At the end, I sat glued to the door in a corner while I looked at everything around me.
The interior of this vehicle was like a very large room, there were some beds like chairs subject to the floor, two televisions that show two different shows one for children and other for adult people, on the roof, there are 5 sky fans and 6 led lamps.
We are almost like 40 people or even more, some are very hurt.
'It's a disaster ...' It's the only thing that comes to my mind when I see what's in front of me.
Someone is entering.
From the other side of the room, I could see a normal door that was opening.
A soldier entered and looked at all the civilians but stopped his eyes on Hikari and me.
"You guys! Come a moment " He speaks loud enough to be able to hear it, so we approach.
When we arrived at him, he only nodded and then entered the door and left it open, suggesting that we follow him.
When we entered another soldier closed the door and now we were in another room similar to the previous one but with the difference of being smaller and that there were only 5 things inside, a table in the middle of the room and surrounded by four pieces of furniture, but they were accommodated for that three seats pointed in the direction of a piece of furniture that is only for an individual and there sat the woman who was giving orders just a few minutes ago.
"Sit down please" She spoke quietly, her voice contained no special feeling but she spoke with a soft tone.
"I sent my boys for you two because I saw something that caught my attention. That's where she kept the bike, what possible mind is in that mysterious inventory? "She leaned on the couch when she started talking.
"The fact that you know how to use it makes me know that you have killed monsters ... Right?"
Hikari and I nodded at the same time.
"So, could you tell me how to use it?" She sat up straight when she asked the question.
Hikari turned to see me waiting to say whether or not ... 'But it will not be a secret if they have the guidance ...'
"It's a simple thing ... uh ... how should I refer to you?"
"Just call me captain and continue please" She answered quickly while waiting for my response.
"You only have to think about opening inventory in your mind, or visualize that you are opening a bag to see what is inside, and if you can, you will see a window in front of you" As I explained, I managed to see how her eyes changed from seeing me, to seeing something In front of her.
"Do you know the limits of this?" She asked as she pulled out a ticket.
"I only have one idea, but it will be better if some of your men or yourself purchase the Guide skill"
"That skill, will you answer all my questions?" She turned to look me in the eyes and I felt a little nervous but in an instant, my mind calmed down.
"It's supposed, Captain"
"Okay, you can leave." She ordered and turned to see her subjects to open the door.
Once Ren and Hikari left, the soldiers started talking.
"Captain! Why do you let them go without checking their inventory ?, they could carry- "A soldier spoke but was silent with only the woman's eyes.
"Leave them, it's no use to walk around checking their inventories, apart from telling me what I wanted, now I need a man to be our safe box, too... How many crystals have we gathered now? "She began to release her captain's aura once there were no civilians.
"We have only been able to collect 83 crystals!" A soldier shouted after remembering the figure.
"Very well, they are more than enough, pity we could not take more" The captain spoke with regret.

In another vehicle that was full of dead goblins, there were several soldiers who were tearing out some crystals from the heart area of these, some crystals were very small but all were seen as their salvation by the soldiers, the goblins that no longer had the crystal will be incinerated.
These soldiers already had several users with Guide as with AURA as the captain, the guide only answered three questions per day, although one could improve it if it gave more Ap for an update, thanks to those questions they found the way to use the crystals, one could use them as an exchange currency in the system store.
By a crystal, they could obtain dozens of bullets depending on the weapon and with the 83 crystals in their power, it was enough to replenish the 87 soldiers with ammunition.
They had used the questions to find a way to share experience, buy weapons and become stronger.
The answers were simple, but the last was somewhat expected and confusing at the same time.
[You can become stronger if you kill monsters, exercise, perform an action repeatedly until you gain an achievement on that and level up, mainly experience and that is obtained from everything, by eating, cooking, running, training, drawing and so on, but you can get more by killing monsters.]
Literally, they can level up with just having a daily life.
Another question they asked was, what is the average level of a normal person? And how do they get Sp and Ap?
[The average level of a person would be from 2 to 4]
[The Sp are obtained when leveling, you will win one in the first seven Stats, both can also be achieved through achievements, titles, quests, dungeons, Weapons, Armor, Potions, Reaching levels 6, 11, 16, 21 etc.]
The last question they asked was; What is better a gun or a bow?
[Firearms are weak, you can not increase their damage based on your power, unless you manage to enchant them in some way or bless them but they will be left behind once the Arches show their splendor in good hands]
That answer left very dissatisfied everyone who heard it, but could not refute it because there was no evidence to achieve it and on the other hand, there was a being who seemed omnipotent had responded.
In the end, they saw a ray of light when they thought that they could create another branch of weapon, the magical gun-style weapons, but now that idea is far from possible.

After Ren left he could only wait in about two hours or more, several times the military stopped and then continued, but suddenly the vehicle stopped and the hatch began to open.
Everyone who was inside rose from their places and turned to see outside.
Ren came out first from all the civilians followed by Hikari then the others.
When Ren started walking in the direction of the civilians section marked with signs.
* BOOM !! *
