227 Human Losses 

A few moments later that night...

"Shit! We're screwed!" One of the teachers next to the men carrying Vicente shouted as they encountered a group of insects, beings between levels 3 and 5, surrounding them.

They encountered many of these beasts in the area they were now, but to get to this place, they had to fight several insects along the way. That had not only cost them their energy but also caused injuries and even the death of three of them.

One of the teachers had died in the last five minutes of their escape, while two men of the Mazzanti family who had already absorbed their new pentagrams had also perished.

They decided to take their chances when they saw a tunnel different from the one they had followed earlier under Vicente's guidance. Why that? Simple, they were sure that Rory's group hadn't managed to completely stop the group of woodpeckers.
