Daytime...
Unnoticed, time passed swiftly. The sun slowly rose, casting brighter and hotter rays. In arid regions like the Desert of Chaos, the temperature soared, leaving every living creature's skin parched and their bodies at risk of severe dehydration.
Meanwhile, the demon army's tents had vanished, replaced by hundreds of thousands of soldiers marching in perfect formation.
At the front, Garan, Lilith, and Terran rode on horseback, their gazes fixed on Leon, who stood a few meters ahead.
"In that case, we will leave first, General Leon," Lilith said firmly.
Leon looked at her warmly, nodded slowly, and smiled faintly.
"Very well. Be careful on the way; there are many powerful monsters between here and the teleportation gate," Leon warned casually, then chuckled. "But with your strength, they shouldn't be much of a threat."
Lilith, Garan, and Terran exchanged glances, small smiles crossing their faces.
