Chapter 123: It’s a Bomb
It’s a Bomb
It didn’t take long for the group to find Emma’s sisters. Ana was sobbing pretty loudly, with Olivia not being much better.
It was quite wholesome watching the sisters reunite, despite their separation only lasting about 10 minutes.
They didn’t linger, though, and quickly skedaddled out of there as Gale sensed a large group of beasts coming.
After that, the group set out to find more students. The triplets explained that they weren’t the only students from their school within the group that got attacked and that there were four more.
They remembered the other going south from where they had split up, so that’s where the group was currently headed.
As they walked, Ellie came up to Osho and whispered.
"What’s on your mind?" He glanced at her. She looked calm, but he could still see through the facade as he knew she was worried deep down.
He pondered for a moment before responding.
"I’m 90% sure this thing is on a timer." His words made her eyes widen slightly.
"Huh? What makes you say that?" She asked, her worry being replaced with genuine curiosity and something else Osho wanted to see. Hope.
"I was just thinking," He started with a smile. "The corrupt Mana is steadily increasing in density as time passes, which will naturally make it harder for beings that use normal Mana—us—to survive. However, we have Gale, meaning we can endure for far longer than what should make any sense." Ellie tilted her head, not quite understanding where he was going, but he continued.
