The sounds of battle came in from a distance.
"Hey, you hear that!?" A girl with a mohawk and a crossbow on her back called out.
"Should we go help?" A guy asked in turn.
"You two, go see what's up," a third sentry replied. "We'll stay back here. Call us if you need us."
"Got it!"
With that, out of the initial 6 guards standing here, 4 were left for Zenith and Syneris to fight.

Looking at their levels, Zenith thought Syneris could probably take them all out on her own.
Level 32
MP: 350/350
[... Not exactly a fair fight.]
Zenith wasn't complaining, of course. If anything, she hoped everyone they'd meet on the way to Asuka's position was this weak.
