It had been an hour since the horrifying experience.
The path back to the clearing finally met the tall shrubs of poisonous plants.
Vivindel moved in and used its body, immune to the poison, to push the shrubs to the side.
Emeros was the first to move in. He looked tired from all the fighting, but of course, he was without any wounds or injuries.
Next to move in were the students who had bandages, and many were using their staves like walking sticks.
Despite the durability of these staves, as many were made with powerful magical trees, some had clear dents and cracks, bite marks, and other signs of improper usage.
Many ran into the clearing, dashed towards the lake near the center, and began to drink it.
The water had been purified and was glowing with light as it was changed to have healing properties.
