"Monsters. A lot."
Nicole gave those three words in reply after tapping Layla on the shoulder, pointing at the cat spirit that was shivering in fear in her arms.
Right after that the city's emergency alarm suddenly began blaring, followed by a knight barging into the room.
"Apologies my lord, but we're about to be besieged by monsters!
They number in the thousands! And they're all at least inferior stage masters! And worst of all, we've spotted a few Superior stage grandmaster monsters!"
The expressions on the faces of all those in the room suddenly darkened upon hearing this news. The knight captain and the guild master got to their feet, ready to go and begin commanding their respective forces to combat the monsters.
"Hold on for a moment you two."
"What?! There are more than a thousand monsters out there! We don't have time to waste!"
"The citizens need to be evacuated!!"
"I said…Hold. On."
