66 Situation

"What do you mean?" Leo asked Miller. He wanted to know exactly how bad the outbreak had gotten.

"The Outer Forest is completely filled with 2nd Circle Magical Beasts. There are 1st Circle Magical Beasts wandering around the outskirts too. None of the commoners who don't have aura are leaving the city premises. We don't have any income left." He said. "As for the adventurers, they have no choice but to take the risk and enter the forest. A lot of them were unfortunate and met 2nd Circle Magical Beasts. A lot of them were able to escape, but some weren't as lucky."

Leo shook his head. "Does this mean that the Beast Wave is near?" He asked him.

Miller nodded his head. "Very close by. It will be here in a week according to some of the more experienced adventurers. The city already increased the rewards for hunting 2nd Circle Magical Beasts and also prohibited any Aura Knights from leaving the city."
