First Wave

Jean asked, "Now tell me, soldier, how did that creature look?"

Under the pressure of Jean, the male soldier hesitated.

"I thought the creature looked like a human, but with dark skin. Its claws were sharp. It resembled a dark elf, except its ear was not pointing upwards.

"I wonder."

"A creature with a similar appearance to a human and high intelligence and strength—is it a new species?"

The soldier had described an existence that Jean vaguely remembered.

Despite her best efforts, she was unable to recall its name.

Although she felt as though she was forgetting something, she was unable to identify exactly what it was.

"What happened to the female legionnaire?"

"Sigh. How did it attack her?"

"We chased the creature, exposing his position with the trace spell, but it suddenly stopped. We thought it was at a dead end, but it suddenly charged towards us."
