[THE SLEEPING GOD] PREMIER (VII)

THE battle between humans and demons continued. Despite the failure of their quest, the four couldn't break off their party immediately. Aside from the fact that the demons attacking them were preventing them to do that, the bonds they formed in this journey just wouldn't allow them to leave each other and let them fend for themselves. 

As they continued to fight, they also moved forward. Their destination was the capital. Because no matter how the result of their quest was, they still had to report what happened to the proper authorities. The church, for one. 

Travelling back, they decided to use Owen's teleportation magic. Since he had already been in the capital, it's easy to go there. But before that, they all agreed to first go to their hometowns to check what was happening there. Despite them not talking about it, they all knew that their homes were probably being attacked right now by demons.
