Before Ange could react, a tall figure rushed over. His longsword pointed at the vine; a surge of vigorous energy abruptly exploded, grinding the vine to dust.
The Giant Dragon Hunter, Gailard, caught up with him unscathed, cloaked in his fighting spirit. Swinging his longsword, he bulldozed his way through like a heavy-duty war chariot.
Without looking back, Gailard plunged into the white fog. Soon, a series of screams arose from within.
This Gailard, who earlier claimed he couldn't get through, actually meant he couldn't get through while leading others.
Ange followed and quickly spotted the creatures emitting the screams - giant mantis bug monsters. They looked remarkably similar to the ones they had encountered underground in Dark City, only much larger.
However, they were all now decapitated, their bodies torn apart, bloody and mangled.
