"This is truly..." Blais's mouth hung open, speechless for a long time.
The tragic scene before his eyes and the small scale of the town created an indescribable contrast, making one feel a counterintuitive sense of absurdity. This was especially true since Blais had just walked out of the town's clinic. From his observations there, he knew the casualties in the city didn't seem too high. Of course, he couldn't rule out the possibility that there were more wounded in other treatment areas, and perhaps the clinic he happened to visit just had the fewest casualties.
"It's unbelievable, isn't it? How many casualties do you think there were in last night's battle?" Vera asked.
Blais looked at the thousands of monster corpses outside the city and cautiously gave a number. Even then, he was lowballing it. "Two hundred?"
