《My Magical System 》Chapter 29: Where is he?

The other squads were already moving forward to their designate entrances, but of course, they needed to find a resting area first and let the night pass.
One more thing, not all soldiers were unscathed in today's battle. Some of the other squads were now lack of members. But the mission must be continued.
At dawn tomorrow, they would all enter the entrances at the same time to trap the monsters inside. And the attack on both sides on the enemy would be the finishing touch to cut all their escape route. Then bring the fight in an all-out battle.
Tomorrow would be their final battle, whatever the results. Of course, everyone was ready whatever to happen, must happen.
To prevent the monsters from wandering outside, 4 out of 8 squads would be guarding the entrance through shifting.
Riding with horses under the guidance of moon up in the sky, the squad of Hannah, the girl who bumps Yeman for twice, was currently heading toward the area 51 to where the designate entrance of their group located.
"Hey, Lady Han, do you think the worm had managed to survive this day's battle?" A guy named Jura 'who was riding a horse beside Hannah had suddenly asked the question.
"Why bringing that person all of a sudden?" She answered with another question without sending him a glance.
"Kuku, weren't the two of you supposed to be a lovey-dovey?" Jura said teasingly.
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who degrades herself because of something called love?" She said in a tired tone.
"But still, you're mean, lady Han. You intentionally bump him twice. Right?" He continued saying in a teasing tone.
"That just a warning for him to stop pursuing me," She said.
"Warning? Kuku, But, you almost kill him tho," he said with a grin.

"I can even-- kill him if necessary, " she muttered coldly. But her voice at the middle-end was inaudible. Her words faded towards somewhere in this chilly surroundings under the crescent moon.
Right at this moment, inside the hideout of Ronny's squad, a girl was sleeping quietly on a tattered sofa of the sala.
"Mina, Mina, Mina--" Leo was cautiously tapping her shoulder to drag her out of her dreamland.
The sleeping Mina suddenly felt the tapping on her shoulders. She suddenly felt alerted and quickly opened her eyes, then blinked twice when she noticed the familiar faces that were staring straight at her.
"Big--bro?" Mina unconsciously whispered.
"Why are you sleeping here?" Leo asked.
All of a sudden, Mina remembered why she fell asleep here and what happened this noon.
"Eeeehh??!" She shrieked. "S-Sorry, big bro, the truth is...I-I felt exhausted after using an h-high ranking magic skill. That's why I fell asleep here." She said in a stammering voice.
"You used a high ranking magic? Don't tell me that you fought with the monsters this noon?!" Leo asked worriedly.
Even Ronny and Stonehard has worried look written on their faces.
"Mhm." She nodded slightly.
"Hah!" Leo sighed. "Good thing that your safe, but don't do that again!" He said, then patted his cousin's head and took a glance at Ronny.
"Little girl, where is he?" Ronny asked.
"Him? Y-You mean worm?"
*Ahem!* Leo cleared his throat.
"I-I mean him? That g-guy? He-He went ahead of me, and I lost track of him. I thought he came back first, but after I arrived here, I couldn't find him." Mina said while trying to remember what exactly had happened this noon. "Oh, I remembered he used invisible magic when we fought with monsters."

Mina reported all of what happened this noon. Ronny and the company couldn't believe what they've heard.
"Eman uses a magic skill?" Ronny asked again.
"Yes, he was fighting, unseen from monsters and me," Mina said.
"Hmm... Maybe he was using an invisible potion?" Stonehard said.
But Ronny knows that the invisible potion wasn't cheap. It cost hundreds of gold coins for a little vial.
Since they couldn't find an answer to their questions, the four decided to go back to the hole area.
When they arrived, they noticed that the whole place littered with corpses.

Two people are transported to a world with magic, but it is no Wonderland. When the god of light died, he decided to take the world with him. At least, that’s what many believe in the Kingdom of Rhine, a once vast kingdom of which only a small corner remains — and even that is threatened. On one side, by the Twisted Forest, a corruption spreading from the deathplace of the gods that has already swallowed up most of Rhine. On the other, by the resurgent Kagrathan Empire, resurrected by the infallible God-Emperor Karlatz. A holy order of knights carry out their mission despite the death of their god. A band of talented misfits prepare for a heist out of their league — by stealing. Mages hunt for secrets even as the world ends. A ruler does what must be done to save the living, no matter the cost. Into this world of magic and murder, two adrift souls are inexplicably dragged: a mother estranged from her young daughter due to her own mistakes, and a young man with a love of fantasy who has gradually drifted away from his friends and family. As they each struggle to find their place in this world, they must also answer the question: do they want one?***Content Warning: I've drafted about 100,000 words (most of the first volume), and there is no sexual content so far, though I may add it in the future. There is occasionally gore and traumatising content as the story demands. I commit to keeping all of the above non-voyeuristic. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

8 146The Ratter
By gnawing through a dike, even a rat may drown a nation.-Edmund Burke There are three kinds of monsters that every rookie adventurer can be expected to face. The first is the goblin, the small green humanoids that often cause problems out on the frontier. The second is the slime, the sneaky ambush predator that likes to drop down from the ceiling and seems to be just about everywhere. And then, there's the giant rat, the plague of the sewer and the tavern cellar. But they're nothing but a petty annoyance, right? Right? Wrong. Giant rats multiply like wildfire and mature very quickly. Unlike rats, they can very quickly exceed their available food supply and start hunting for human flesh the moment that nothing else is available. A hungry swarm, unchecked, can eat a city alive. But not if The Ratter has anything to say about it.
