AdvertisementSilence fell again in the square and he had now more time to look at his surroundings . The beast burning at the stake in the center looked exactly like the one that attacked him back at Iosefka's clinic . Only this one seemed bigger and scarier . Did these men kill it? If yes, he wondered at his luck surviving their attack . A noise brought him back to reality . The door under the bridge was still shaking violently . Surgit went closer to inspect it . It was a solid oaken door and the thing pounding at it from behind seemed monstrous . He heard its shout and it was like some type of troll . He went up the railings again and came to an archway beneath the bridge . He traversed it and looked to his right . A big fountain was in the middle of yet again another square . The city used to be filled with amazing gardens and beautiful views . He walked slowly, trying not to attract the attention of whatever was behind that door . He reached the fountain and looked at the source of noise . It was indeed a troll . It was holding a brick and pounding at the door incessantly . "If I'm going to face this thing after all, I'd need another one of those vials . " He thought to himself as he made for the archway . He decided to pay Iosefka a visit .

As he took the serpentine street again but this time he was going down the slope, he couldn't help but notice the amount of bodies on crucifixes . What on earth had happened to this city? Where were all the hunters? The streets were full of beasts and he was the only hunter chasing them .

He reached the bottom of the slope and he was welcomed by a big iron gate . It was the same one he'd seen on his way out from the cemetery . A lever on the left allowed Surgit to open the gate and cross to the clearing where he had observed the majesty of the city and its terrifying darkness . He went inside the graveyard and made his way upstairs in the clinic . The door was still closed so he knocked on it . He heard distant footsteps approaching . "Ah it's you again" said Iosefka with evident surprise in her voice .

Damien was hiding behind the fountain when that man had emerged from beneath the archway, soaked with blood . With Paul, he watched in horror and amazement how that man had dealt with that mob . The moment they saw him hit by the bullet, they assumed that he was a goner . Seeing him emerge from behind the carriage mere minutes later, running and disposing of the only two remaining men-beasts astonished them . Since they arrived to this city, they had witnessed many miraculous feats by two people . First there was Karla, they were happy not to attack her after they saw the extent of her power . That city was beyond a doubt the place they were seeking . Monstrosities roamed the streets and although the two of them were skilled warriors, disposing of enemies as these two do required a different skillset . They knew that Karla still protected the old man and they were never going to get her on their side . However, that stranger could prove useful if they ally themselves to him . They decided to wait for him next to the fountain .
