Soon, military helicopters arrived at Rusty Ruins, they took the wounded and escorted the trucks of the Scarlet River Squad back to the Citadel. Everything went smoothly and quietly, as a fighter aircraft with a Second Rank Phantom hovered over them.
The power of this Phantom was enough to prevent any monster from approaching the area. The Phantom's aura simply suppressed the monsters, intimidating them like a top predator to which all others were just prey.
'Hmm... Apparently, it's not Damien, I'm sure he wouldn't miss the opportunity to show off and put on some kind of show.' Adam pondered, looking at the fighter while Hazel was sitting in the driver's seat.
Zera was too exhausted and injured, but she refused to get into the helicopter - she chose the back seat in her truck to be closer to Adam and Hazel.
Soon, as they approached the walls of the Citadel, the fighter left them and headed north at great speed - far beyond the Rusty Ruins.
