Rudy, still grappling with the surreal events that had unfolded, couldn't help but voice his confusion to the group before him.

"Why are you here in the middle of this forest? What brought you all the way out here?" Rudy inquired, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any clues.

The leader, his expression a mix of determination and concern, responded, "We were urgently dispatched by the hero organization when they sensed a sudden surge of energy from this forest."

As Rudy absorbed this information, the party members exchanged glances, their eyes flickering towards the vast destruction that stretched for miles. The leader sighed, acknowledging, "Looks like we are late."

In an attempt to provide some insight, the second man among them produced a small device. With a sense of authority, he explained, "This device can sense fluctuations in energy. It allows us to detect the presence of monsters and even rank them based on the level of energy picked up."
