Forest of magical beasts [4]

Episode 35

"We're leaving now."

I could see Luna's newly awakened expression, like someone who enjoyed a good sleep on top of a huge magical beast.

"Yes, get up now. We'll move on."

As Luna stretched, I looked at Margareth, who was on top of the tree where I had been watching the night before.

After a few minutes, she climbed down from the tree and headed straight for me. However, her eyes and expression looked gloomy.

I wondered what she saw and why her expression suddenly changed.

"We'll go to the north side... It seems the situation there is worse than in this area here," she finally said.

The next objective was the second area of the magical beast forest.

We had checked the most important things in the first area.

For starters, the place was drying up. The wave of mana had already covered everything in this area, and it was starting to kill the life here.
