The following events proceeded smoothly in accordance with the battle plan Vivian had established.
After Merica extracted the spring water, the group remained hidden around the area, waiting for the demons to appear.
A considerable number of demons, drawn by the Magic Source's allure, emerged, with their variety as vast as when Shane first spent ten days in this world's forest. Among them was even a swarm of Thorny-Horned Demons, which Shane had previously annihilated, making him feel... nostalgic? No way!
That period was undoubtedly a dark chapter in Shane's history, almost akin to a psychological trauma. He nearly couldn't resist charging in to wipe out that group of Thorny-Horned Demons once again.
Unfortunately, it seemed unnecessary for Shane to take action.
As Vivian had initially stated, the demons attracted by the Magic Source were all engaged in a fierce battle over the spring water.
