"What the?!"

I was surprised to see that we were dropped in the middle of a battlefield. No, I guess that wasn't intentional. The surrounding area of the space where we appeared looked like a fortress, but nothing was left of it but a small layer of the walls.

"Everyone!!!"

Before I even called for them, the girls were already on the move. Rather, not only them but a large majority of the tamers and their tamed monsters started their counterattack as soon as the situation became clear.

Barriers were raised as waves of powerful energy attacks were released. In just moments, the demons that were all around vanished into a pile of ashes and goo.

"The fortress fell?"

Threya, who was just next to us, muttered in a soft voice. She didn't participate in the first wave of cleanup, though, and was just looking at the debris around, trying to understand the situation.

"That's what it looks like. Fortunately, we came just in time, I guess."
