A Big Favor

Adrian could not bear to see the full destruction of Neo Alfheim. His best friend also needs to help his master. It seems that whatever weapon pierced Elder Willow has been dipped in the poison. Thankfully, it only made his regeneration weak and healing magic ineffective on him or else he would be dead by now.

The elves that served Makiling went with other evacuees to the next city that is safe. Reinforcements from the empire did arrive but the city is already in chaos and disarray. The mission to subjugate the monsters that entered the city became a rescue mission instead.

The empire soldiers entered the city but could only form a defensive perimeter at the outskirts of the city. They could not easily go to the heart of the city because the giant living sludge is there. One could easily see that there should be no one safe from that monster.
