While Commander Ullyr was fighting the strongest Dryx, who had emerged from the purple portal, Nial and the others hurried to clear the plaza of the Dryx's corpses.
Despite their frantic attempts to do so, they were still too late to start storing the corpses. At least 300 Dryx had devoured more than 1000 mana cores, thereby increasing their strength drastically.
The Soldiers, whose talent was not even close to the young participants of the Teradan military camp, couldn't cope with the sudden increase in pressure they had to face.
Because of the increased pressure, many Soldiers were losing their upper hand against the Dryx they faced, forcing them to work together as small groups of five while fighting a single Dryx.
Unfortunately, this was not feasible simply because the strength of the five soldiers was still hard to regain their upper hand.
