Although Irving and the others were not in great shape when faced with the assault of the dire wolves and giant spider, they had a wealth of combat experience.
Thanks to their coordination, Irving and his team successfully thwarted the monsters' attacks, eliminating the vast majority of the creatures that had charged at them.
As before, once the dire wolves and the giant spider were defeated, they yielded no loot. This indicated that these monsters were merely illusory projections summoned by Elder Lawrence.
"Elder Lawrence must be nearby; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to control so many illusory projections," Anna stated decisively after the battle concluded.
Even though Anna was not particularly skilled in direct combat, she excelled in assessing the types and characteristics of summoned creatures. The monsters they had just faced were not ordinary summons. The power of those creatures clearly derived from Elder Lawrence himself.
