169. The Cause

"What do you think caused this?"

Orion asked the other three walking beside him. They had been on the streets for quite a while but had yet to meet a single soul. It was as though everyone had disappeared from the planet, leaving them as the only individuals present.

All they saw were ruins—everything was destroyed and turned into rubble.

"I don't know. Maybe it was an attack by the demons or maybe someone from one of the seven other magi families had attacked us. It's difficult to guess considering it isn't everyday we get to see or hear someone have caused something against one of the seven Magi families." Lucy said.

She wasn't sure about herself so she could speculate on what could have happened.

Orion frowned upon hearing her and was about to ask something when he heard someone walking towards them.

"Shh! Someone is coming; quickly hide."

He whispered to them and they quickly hid behind the wreckage.
