Taken surprised due to the sudden scream, Lucas raising his sword got into an attacking stance at once.
"Don't come near."
"Please don't kill us."
"We are innocent."
Loud wails echoed.
Lucas raised his vigilance on hearing human voices. There was the possibility of the monster casting an illusion or using a human voice to lure him.
The room was dark, so Lucas lit the room with his fireball and stepped over the stones densely laid on the floor and weeds grown all over.
His fire cast a long shadow on the side, and he shouted" Who are you? Come out?"
"Ahhh!Don't kill us."
The sound of footsteps echoed and three shadows converged and a figure of three people appeared.
Two kids of Lucas's age clung tightly to a black-haired, thin, malnourished woman.
Both of them were boys and had scratches all over their bodies. The woman's condition did not look good. Her expression was pale, as if she had lost too much blood.
