The battle that was never-ending a few hours ago was continuing. The laws of humans didn't work here.
It was night, but the war was still not stopping.
Shrieks and cries from the bugs could be heard constantly.
The creatures around the area would have found it hard to sleep, but no one complained because there was no one left to complain.
All other creatures have been slaughtered. The scavenger birds have left the area, even though they wanted some rest.
Nor did the bugs stop attacking. It was as if they had been given a divine decree that they couldn't return.
The defenders had no choice. If they stopped, the bugs would reach their master.
Shadows can't retreat on their own. This was the first mission assigned to them by their master, and they didn't want to let him down.
For Vakar, it was even more important; he couldn't let them reach Rishi at any cost.
