Rise and Kamille, clearly taken aback, could not help but focus.
Monsters beyond the gates could communicate, such as higher-level monsters and more specifically the nobles. Both could understand each other even if they did not use the same language.
However, the same could not be said for the lower-ranked monsters, who only had violence engraved on their minds. Some might say incoherent words just like the monsters around them, but they could not understand them, so communication was impossible.
There was also deep-seated enmity between humanity and the monsters, and reconciliation was not part of the equation.
Looking at this little monster, it did not seem to be a higher-level one.
"Why do you want to die?" Kamille's deep voice rang, asking the question instead of Rise, continuing the conversation.
Rise remained crouching, his eyes fixed curiously on the little monster.
