Several days passed since the major incident, and it shocked the whole Gaia continent after the news about it spread everywhere. The total death count in Starlight City was 4,873.
If City Lord Ray hadn't acted quickly to limit the movement of magical beasts from the portal by conjuring a large barrier, the casualties would have been much higher.
After half a month, all damage done to the city was repaired, and those who lost their houses also got them back. But there was an empty spot in the city where the portal appeared. Graves of the people who died filled that spot, and the whole city came to mourn and put flowers there.
City Lord Ray felt guilty, but he didn't allow himself to drown in that guilt. Instead, he directed his anger at the perpetrator who brought in the device that opened that portal and caused this. He was trying to find them. Not just him, but all major countries were trying to investigate this. After all, whatever opened that portal was extremely dangerous!
