Yohan and the other Beast Masters walked out to the wall, each taking their respective positions.
The atmosphere was tense; there were only five Platinum-level Beast Masters and two Diamond-level fighters among them.
Even though Director Catherine had requested only Platinum-level Beast Masters, Yohan came anyway.
He'd already faced one of these corrupted beasts and managed to survive, so he felt more prepared than most.
Finding a spot near the edge, Yohan hugged his sword close, sitting down quietly as he waited.
Around him, the other Beast Masters were equally silent, each person caught up in their own thoughts, focusing on what was coming.
No one dared speak, and the silence felt heavy, broken only by the occasional sound of equipment being adjusted.
Director Catherine and the senior Beast Masters were stationed at the top of the wall, scanning the horizon with grave expressions as they waited.
