"Too late for that."
This was the last line the guy in his early 20s heard. After that, his vision got darker and he stopped feeling his body.
This was because Reen transformed into her original form and attacked the weakest link of the duo, as taught by her master. She spread her slimy mass and coated the guy's entire body within it. The guy had almost died inside, making little to no movements when trapped by a C-Rank beast. It was just his body getting dissolved inside.
The guy that was with him was horrified by the scenes unfolding in front of him. A mana beast of unknown rank had attacked them. And it was devouring one of them like it was no big deal.
He tried to run away. But Reen created a rope from her slimy mass and extended it towards the man, tying his legs up as quickly as the guy thought of escaping.
"Help! Someone, please help us."
The guy started shouting and calling for help. Someone in the shadows was irked by his actions.
