Forest of magical beasts [3]

Episode 34

I could feel them. The presences of the magical beasts were not far away.

The recent hostility of these creatures was unusual, something I couldn't ignore. However, I was almost certain that it was due to the wave of artificial mana that covered the entire forest of magical beasts.

If it wasn't for that, what else could it be? Why would they suddenly attack the elves, being creatures that were normally peaceful?

One cannot jump to conclusions without investigating. Despite that, we already had a small idea of what could be causing this change. But jumping to conclusions is never a good idea.

Still, everything pointed to the cause being that wave of mana that spread throughout the forest.

The atmosphere was heavy. The dense mana surrounded everything around us, especially in the stillness of the night, where only the light of the bonfire slightly illuminated the darkness.
