Onward

The sun had just begun to rise, and the air was quite refreshing. Lamara Village was badly damaged, and quite a few villagers died overnight. However, there was a slight change in the atmosphere that felt extremely relaxing.

The group of Art Users had been eliminated, and the abnormal abundance of Demon Beasts had decreased significantly. The mission was almost over, but it didn't feel like much of an accomplishment to Nathan, Sindy, and Andrew.

They watched quietly as Instructor Brady explained the details to Chief Sawyer and the other villagers who had gathered to listen. Chief Sawyer had bandages wrapped around his stomach and used an old cane to keep himself upright. Fortunately, Sindy had saved him from his injury before it was too late.

"I see... So almost a dozen of you were killed last night while we were away," sighed the Instructor as he extinguished his cigar. "On my team's behalf, I apologize for not handling the situation with more care."
