After defeating Aiko and collecting the spoil of his victory, Emery quickly rushed back to the southern entrance, because he was still worried about his friends who were fighting there. Rushing through the woods, Emery occasionally used [Blink] to reach the entrance in the shortest time possible..
When he reached the southern entrance, Emery heaved a sigh of relief seeing his four friends were still in the game. Currently, he could see Julian and Thrax were fighting against the stone acolyte. Their battle turned out to be a stagnant one.
On the other side of the battlefield, Dopa and a few of his team were fighting Micah. It was a battle of six against one, but Dopa's team didn't seem to have gained the upper hand, let alone be close to win.
