The dark forest was burned to ashes under Zachary's command and the fire and the smoke lured out all the monsters. The battle lasted all night and the red sun was already up high when the battle was over. There were too many casualties that there were only a few of them that could still fight.
"There were thousands of us, and now only a few hundred that could still fight. This place is really draining our forces and manpower," Aston looked back at the injured.
"I have expected something like this would happen. It's not the first time it has happened," Zachary turned around and walked toward the injured.
Zachary gave a short speech and thanked those who had risked their lives to enter the rift. He then told those who were injured to leave the rift because their journey had ended. He didn't want more lives to be taken, so he only selected a few people to stay and explore the forest.
