Going Around The Horde
Unfortunately for the small group of five, who were now left alone with the enormous white wolf that seemed capable of eating them on its own, Astaroth was not kidding.
He had grabbed Silent Light because, after a week of defending the small settlement, he had found out that there was more than one place from which the corruption was spreading now. That was also the reason Teraria and Arborea were weakening so much lately.
So he needed the Priest to close the tears. He left the defence to the small group. Hoping that they could at least be useful for a little while longer, with Genie and Kloud's help.
He had also finally found the time interval for the hordes, and he figured he had about another day before the hordes were too much to handle. By now, the hordes attacked about twice a day, nearing the three-times-a-day mark.
And it was still shortening. To make matters worse, the hordes were still becoming larger every time.
