Theo glanced at the others and gave a small nod, his expression serious.
"Let's go after him," he said quietly.
Iris nodded, her eyes narrow. "Of course."
They slowly moved forward together, using as many trees as cover to circle around the lake while heading for the hill.
As they got closer, Theo's heart started pounding faster and faster.
'If we can catch this guy,' he thought. 'We might be able to solve the mindless aggressiveness.'
Hundreds of hunters and soldiers had already died thanks to this crazy disease. Preventing more was the top priority.
Just as they were about to pass the pile of corpses, Owen froze.
"…What the hell?" he said, his face twisting as a quiet gag echoed out his throat.
Theo frowned slightly and stepped closer, his eyes narrowing as he looked over the pile.
That's when he noticed it too.
Between the many monster corpses, a single human arm stuck out.
"…Wait," he muttered quietly.
