"Huh?"
"Now this is troublesome," Linda muttered under her breath, her eyes narrowing.
"What should we do now?" Sol asked with a frown, his voice carrying unease.
Kael stood up slowly, his expression tense. He paused for a moment as if weighing the risks.
"There aren't many forces stationed here," he finally said. "We can sneak in and burn the rations. But doing so will awaken the demon. It's an S-rank. Don't underestimate it. Without the proper means, it can kill even several S-ranks alone."
His words hung heavily in the air. The thought of facing something like that made the air feel colder.
Kael turned his gaze to Linda. "You have a hiding spell, right?"
Linda gave a short nod.
"Good. Stay here and support us when needed."
"I will do that…In case of emergency you can fire a flare..You have it right?"she asked wearily.
"Yes!"others nodded.
