It was far too many...
Even If I slowed down time and used my dragon's wing speed ability, I could only stop fifty of them at most.
I had placed the cloud of smoke near the entrance so no one would be entering or leaving, and it was right behind everyone so no one would notice the smoke there.
But... then, how was Alya already back..?
I had calculated her entire path; it would have taken her ten minutes to leave the tree, five to store the device, and another ten to get back here.
Yet, she had arrived in ten minutes, less than half of that predicted time.
Sbe would have to have skipped the entire way back to this cave...
Putting aside those thoughts, I tapped my right eye, slowing my perception of time, before combining the mana and blood-red substance, creating a dark-purple wing on my right shoulder.
