Guts' head slowly turned towards the weird albino. He knew it was hard for some people to figure things out, but this was ridiculous.

"You put one foot in front of the other. Now get going; it's dangerous here." he said, his thick black cape flowing in the breeze. With this, he put a single foot on the edge of the building, and scanned the horizon. The nearby city was large, and made with odd, blocky architecture he didn't quite recognize. It was too utilitarian to be normal housing, and much larger as well. A city this large must have no doubt been ancient.

Guts tried to fill in the blanks in his mind. A city this large must have required magical means to build. Naturally, they messed with things they didn't understand, and summoned these monsters, which proceeded to decimate the population. It was times like these Guts wondered why he himself traveled alongside a mage.
