It had been more than thirty minutes since I started fighting, and there was no end to these monsters.
Every time I slayed an abomination, another one took its place.
Every time I saved someone, I saw someone else die.
The situation was getting tougher and I was exhausted.
I had already informed the Academy officials about what was going on in Isthara, so the reinforcements must be arriving any moment now.
I just had to hold out until then and do my job – which was to save as many civilians as possible.
And I was doing just that.
A group of kids were stuck in a burning building and their parents were gathered outside when seven abominations attacked them.
Thankfully, some local Awakened of the city, and a few police officers reached the site just in time.
The police officers began rescuing the trapped kids, while the Awakened started fighting the monsters.
