"you are telling me, that you alone survived a monster encounter because you did not attack it?, is that correct".
Ricus found it hard to believe. The natural scenario of a monster and a human meeting, is the death of one race and survival of another, that is how it has always been.
Telling him he survived because he did not attack, gave Ricus the feeling that Shakir was lying to him, but why?...
"old man Shakir. I find your answer very hard to believe, I am sure even you know how absurd it sounds as an adventurer who has spent most of his life killing monsters".
"i know, but it is the truth, that is really how I managed to survive".
"I was paralyzed after seeing the red cocoon the monster was in, but the rest of the party were not. They were still capable of movement, and made their way closer to it".
"they did not go too far to the red cocoon before they were burnt alive right on the spot".
When Ricus had the word burnt alive, memories of what he had witnessed earlier flashed through his mind. He felt himself starting to get on the same page with Shakir's story.
"I stood still helpless as I watch the group I came with, get burned until there was nothing left of them".
Shakir said sounding regretful for what had happened to his friends.
"after that, I got over the fear emanating from the red cocoon and climbed my way up to freedom".
"Ever since then, my life itself changed. I found myself stronger, my growth getting accelerated. It was a miracle that could only be linked to me being exposed to the monster's Aura".
"the effect was clearly visible as I felt my body had undergone a drastic change when I woke up the next morning, and my mana level also went up really high".
"I didn't know why it happened until much later when I found out that it was possible for one to overcome their limit when exposed to an higher level of power".
"the monster in the red cocoon was of a higher level of power capable of elevating my position from an E rank to becoming the retired S Rank that I am today".
"listen to me Ricus, the monster is not something any of us can win against. We have to get Dana out of there as fast as possible and get far away from this city. This is its territory, and we are intruding on it".
"old man Shakir, why isn't there a record of this even in the guild's archive".
"because I did not tell them. What was I supposed to say?....., that there is a monster below, one that could kill a D rank adventurer without so much as moving?, or one that could raise an F rank adventurer to an S Rank?..."
"I was overwhelmed by its presence and decided to reveal it later on. As time passed by, I could not bring myself to tell anyone".
"The monsters effect on me was too positive, allowing I who was a failure to easily surpass my peers. I was afraid that if I were to tell anyone else, the others would also get the advantage I did, and I would no longer be special among the many. I was afraid of being left behind again, and so I hid the truth from everyone".
"Ricus, you have to send a team of adventurers into the Dungeon to bring back Dana and her classmates, and whatever they do, they should never show ill will towards it".
"old man Shakir, I think you and I can agree that it is too late for that now. The so called monster you talked about, is killing people down there already without them offending it. Not fighting back, is not the way we do things, especially when it is against a monster".
"did you get all that or do you still need more out of him".
Ricus brought his left hand he had folded at his back, holding the glowing orb, he spoke to it affirming their decision on the matter.
"is that enough evidence for you?. This man here is a retired S Rank adventurer which I am sure you all already know about".
"He has given his testimony of coming across a monster, and the effect of it is in line with what is currently happening to Edevin. The city is clouded in red, humans are burning alive without being touched".
"It is only a matter of time before everyone dies, and we have to take action before that happens. Old man Shakir has affirmed that the monster is defenseless, trapped in a cocoon. We can take advantage of that and kill it before it escapes its cocoon".
