That same night, Almin's group returned with tired eyes. All five women in that group were covered in sand, with some injuries and burns. Almin himself was in a pitiful state, even more injured than when he fought against old Dyen.
They entered the walls and heard only sounds of flesh being torn and violently crushed. All the newly arrived women saw the whale devouring a giant beast with extreme aggression and fury.
Once only bones remained, the whale threw everything onto a nearby pile of bones before speaking, still sounding very irritated. "Seems like you came back alive and managed to win in some idiotic way. At least you served as a meat shield for the girls."
Almin heard that and lowered his head in self-disappointment. Soon, one of his women spoke, a bit irritated. "Our weapons are too fragile. We tried to kill it, but they were quickly destroyed without causing any damage."
