Due to the density of the forest, they had to take a specific path through as it would be impossible otherwise. However, they didn't need to worry too much since the monsters here weren't hostile due to the unique nature of this section.
Naturally, it didn't mean that there weren't any hostile monsters. With them being so far from the tower's influence, a few monsters would be unaffected and attack them on sight.
But with Shiro releasing subtle amounts of killing intent whenever a monster approaches, they were able to travel without fighting at all.
After travelling for another two to three hours, the town of Aegena was finally in sight.
Located just past the forest, the town was located in a deep crater of sorts and had different layers due to the nature of the crater. There were waterfalls formed by a river that flowed over one of the steep edges of the crater and into a pool at the bottom.
