While running to the other side of the city where a warehouse was built, they could still hear the ramming sound coming from the entrance of the city.
"Is father going to be okay" asked Jace with a worried look on his face.
"Your father will be fine Jace so stop worrying and try to run fast before we are late" replied Mrs norman.
Picking up the pace, Jace and his mother begin to head to the warehouse.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the city stood every man in the city as they were prepared to protect their city from the beast's invasion.
"How did they find this place, we have done all that is needed to be done to avoid getting the attention of the beasts so how is it possible" asked a man who was holding a blunt sword that is dyed red all over.
"I don't think we will be able to avoid the beasts anymore since they also evolve like us" replied Mr. Norman.
"Are you saying that we will have to move out of this place once we successfully defended it" asked a man that was standing close to Mr. Norman.
"I can't say for sure but if you want to know anything about us leaving this place, then you will have to ask grandpa morris.
While they were waiting for grandpa Morris, the ramming sound was becoming really loud and some of them are being frightened like their heart is about to jump out of their body whenever the sound rang out.
"Why do I feel like the beast is far stronger than us" said someone.
"Come on guys stand your ground. Our goal is not to kill the beast, but to hold it down until reinforcement arrives"said grandpa Morris as he walk in with the huge gun in hand.
"Do you will think that the is going to send some hunters here" asked Mr. Norman.
"They would not abandon us, so don't give up hope" replied grandpa morris.
While they were discussing, the sound begin to intensify and it didn't take long before the beast was finally about to destroy the gate that has been obstructing its way. Everyone went into formation as they wait for the beast to come in but their plan didn't work out ad they plan as the beast refuse to come out.
"Why isn't it coming at us or did it get scared when seeing that we are much in number"said someone in the crowd.
"I doubt it, the beasts have never run away from a fight even when their opponent seen to be stronger than they are, they will still choose to fight to the death" replied grandpa morris.
Just as grandpa Morris said those words, a huge stone was thrown into the city and the target was no other than where grandpa morris and the rest were standing.
"Watch out" yell grandpa Morris as he runs out of the way.
Seeing the huge stone coming at them, they didn't hesitate before running away to avoid being smashed by the stone. The stone smashed into the ground as a deep pit was made with everyone staring at the entrance trying to see how many beasts that they are up against but the dust created from the fall of the stone, makes it impossible for them to see a thing but when the dust begins to settle down, the group could see the beast that they have seen and fought with before retirement.
"Thank goodness that they are not much in number" said grandpa Morris as he let out a sigh of relief.
"Yes they are not much but it is still going to be difficult for us since we won't be able to use our weapons for a long time" replied Mr. Norman.
"It wouldn't take us long before we take out all these D-rank beasts so why are you getting worried" asked the man that was standing with Mr. Norman.
"Have you forgotten that within a group of D-ranks, there is always a higher rank beast that is leading them" replied Mr. Norman with a frown.
"This... Is so not true" said the man as he begins to step back.
"Relax man, if there is a leader, it would have to be a rank higher so stop getting worried over nothing" said Mr. Norman with a chuckle.
The beasts are just gathered outside after the destruction of the gate like they are waiting for orders before they charge in and if you were to look into their eyes, you could the hungry look on their eyes like they can't wait to start devouring anyone in sight. After some time of silence, a big wolf with a sliver back begin to walk out and when the group saw this wolf, they couldn't help but tremble in fear.
"What is the fang wolf doing here" said grandpa Morris who still fear the fang wolf.
"For the fang wolf to lead the others here, it could only mean one thing for our city" said Mr. Norman.
"We are doomed" cried out a man who couldn't hold his weapon right due to fear.
"Stay calm everyone" said grandpa Morris as he tries to get the team together.
"How do you expect us to remain calm when you know full well that we don't have a chance against a B-rank beast like the fang wolf, if it were to be a C-rank beast we would still have hope of surviving" said one of the men.
"If you are scared of fighting, at least for the sake of your children don't give up" said Mr. Norman as he has already crossed his heart to protect his son even if it will cost him his life.
"I don't see the reason why you should be afraid of the fang wolf, all you are required to do is stall for time until reinforcement arrives" said grandpa Morris as he shot at a tiger-like beast that was trying to go inside.
