There were really survivors. I had sensed the presence of life, but I still couldn't believe my eyes when I was able to finally look at these people… after seeing so many souls wandering around, after seeing so many corpses… there were still people alive.
I don't know why but it fills me with joy… I don't know if it is my own happiness or perhaps that Benladann might be happy over this. Or perhaps a mix of the two. After all, even as the monster I've become, my empathy and emotions have not gone away. Maybe I've become more ruthless, but I am still… well, me.
The old grandma is surprised that her strong magic is not effective, she exudes the aura of a Rank 2 Magus, while the other children are only Rank 1 Initial Stage… they seem to be very weak.
Of course, they are all Ice Giants, so their sizes double those of humans if not being even taller, even these children might be taller than most humans.
