Saphira asked Willow to enclose Chester's body in a wooden box for they still have a lot of cleaning up to do.
Just then the other five snapped out of the illusion they were in.
Chester's death has nothing to do with them getting out of it.
Even with his death of they couldn't get away from it, they will forever stay there until they die.
No one, not even Saphira could have done anything about it.
That is why Chester was part of the elite squad back then, because his illusion was just that strong.
No matter how strong the opponent is as long as Chester got a grasp of this person's personality and history, that person will no longer be able to get away from his grasp.
The only reason Saphira and Willow were not worried was because they trust that the others would be able to snap out of it.
They would be able to escape with their own power.
Zian and felix had long passed out.
When the other five returned to their senses they were shock to see the condition of the imperial city.
There were so many demonic beasts that it was no longer a shock if the death count would be close to an eighth of the population.
Even with the mythological beasts, numbers are still their opponent.
Even with the soldiers of the Empire, it still wasn't easy.
Seeing as their hosts are out, the mythological beasts gave them the brief explanation of what had happened.
They were shock to hear that Saphira had woken up and that Chester was actually killed.
But it was not yet the time for them to ask questions, there are more important things to do.
Nixon walked over to where Zian and Felix were lying, he was prepared to heal them when Saphira stopped him.
"Leave them to me, their injuries aren't your normal injuries. I'll explain later for now help the others in subduing the remaining demonic beasts."
Nixonw as baffled, so was Willow who was still clsoe by but they still followed her arrangement and left to kill the demonic beasts.
Saphira walked over to the two and placed her hand above their bodies.
Golden glitter appeared and surrounded Felix and Zian's whole body.
Very slowly their injuries were healed and a black smoke left their bodies.
If one were to look, they could tell that even with the wounds healing, Zian and Felix's complexion wren't getting better but when the black smoke escaped their bodies, their pale complexions turned to normal.
Now they were simply sleeping due to exhaustion.
"..."
Saphira was standing next to the coffin like box where Chester lays.
She was silently looking at his body but her eyes were showing emotions as if she was having some internal communication.
Soon she sighed before looking back to where the rest are.
Admittedly she was drained.
This was the first time that she had used this power and she had used it in an over exerted manner.
It will be a no wonder that she would collapse any minute now.
ONe should not overexert themself when trying out a newly acquired power.
But Saphira had no choice this time around.
If she wanted to have lesser enemies in the future then what she needed to do is to lessen them as early as possible.
Chester was weakened a lot by his fight this time around that upon waking up and realizing what was going on.
Saphira had rushed.
She was glad that she was in time to actually get a hold of him before he got the chance to escape.
Seeing as everything was going fine and the situation was already under control especially when Vermilion Bird had joined the fight a while ago.
With his fire and improvement, his attacks weren't only in an area of effect manner but it was also very strong against the demonic beasts.
She sighed and went to lean on a tree while sitting on the ground.
She was already tired and was exhausted because she didn't hold back and her body was not used to it at all.
With that, near the two who were also passed out, she closed her eyes and went to sleep.
She can explain everything to them once she wakes up or Vermilion Bird could do it.
Or the other one could do it making it even more understandable than her or Vermilion Bird.
'You tell them...'
She spoke within her before really falling into a deep sleep.
She was thinking that Vermilion Bird could do it but realized that he was as lazy as her that she simply 'tasked' the other to do it.
The one she spoke to, turned agape upon hearing what she had said.
But was left with no other choice and could only sigh as well.
Soon, every demonic beasts were killed.
Seeing as the prince now the Emperor was out of commission, Kayleb took it to himself to guide the rest of the soldiers.
Those who are still capable were tasked to check on the imperial city's condition.
The others were given a task each.
Hunter sighed seeing as Saphira was once again asleep.
He carried her and together with the rest who supported the other two.
It was a day filled with nothing but shock and questions unanswered.
But because the party that needs to know and were curious are all too tired and some were passed out.
Hunter and the rest who were under the illusion weren't any different.
The moment they got to where they are sleeping, all of them ended up falling fast asleep.
The illusion was mentally tiring and because it took them a lot of time and the fact that it was strong, they were too exhausted.
With that the day ended with death and grievances.
But no one could blame anyone, even with the seven of them there, they couldn't possibly ensure that no one will die.
It was already good enough that not everyone have died in this attack.
