The Struggle.

It was in the middle of the night when Sester City was overwhelmed with panic and confusion among the commoners.

Clouds had covered the Moon, so the only significant source of light was the burning estate of the Count. Due to the size of the explosion, the fire still burned and illuminated the surroundings.

On one side of the city, there was the commotion of the civilians, while on the other hand, a different battle took place.

If anyone with good eyesight looked in the forest, they would notice the raging battles between tens of Rank-5 and above Mercenaries with Magical Beasts!

The situation here favored the Mercenaries as even though the Beasts fought together, they could not coordinate their attacks.

Many of the Beasts died, but the Mercenaries did not have time to collect the materials. Instead, they hoped over the dead bodies to advance further.
