Even before Drik could finish his words, the team has already started running towards the space gate.
The ones that are close to the space gate, who are supposed to monitor it, were the first one to use it and leave. Everyone rushed as if the space will be closed at any given moment. Drik who was stunned by the scene was actually one of the last few to get into it.
By the time he entered the space gate, the barriers broke down and the black skeletons started running rampant. Some of the team members fell prey to them and were killed instantly.
In that panicked state, they weren't even able to put up much of a fight.
In the valley where the other end of the space gate was located, Drik's team members all appeared one by one. They are all contemplating if they should leave the place or stay there. Some even contemplated destroying the space gate to ensure the black skeletons wouldn't come from it.
Of course, they cannot do it openly.
