"Lady Lapirier!"

"What?!"

"Monsters!!"

At the urgent shout, Lapirier turned her gaze to the worm-like monsters that had emerged from the mine.
They had risen from the ground, kicking up a dense cloud of dust, but unlike moments ago when they had been rampaging to destroy the city, they were now frozen in place.

'What is this? Why have they stopped?'

Just moments ago, these monsters had been moving with fierce aggression.
Why had they suddenly come to a standstill?

'Now that I think about it… that barrier protecting the city… That must have been Louis’s doing, right?'
