Trial Complete

After Shiro killed the true Harvester, the giant worm like being outside of the nest froze up for a moment before collapsing into a puddle of flesh and blood.

"Did Shiro succeed?" Kuromi muttered to herself as she quickly made some distance between her and the corpse since she didn't want to be hit by the blood.

Looking around her, she couldn't help but frown as the casualties that they had sustained in this battle.

'Only 14 of us left huh?' She thought to herself with a sigh.

During the fight, whenever one of the guards were pierced by the black tongues or slashed on by the black blood, they would either transform into one of the monsters they had encountered or have large portions of their body melt into a puddle of blood.

Shaking her head, she quickly regrouped everyone and had them collect the corpses of their dead companions.

"Even though we were prepared, having this many of us go is still quite a shock." Phillip chuckled sadly.
