Same time… Southeast border of Mortalia… Euphrates Province…
Deep within one of the lush forests of Euphrates' eastern marches could be found a cave by a grand waterfall and colorful bed of flowers.
The scenery would had been perfect had it not been for the human bodies and demonic wolves' corpses scattered all over the environment.
Protecting the entrance to the cave was a magic barrier. Hiding behind that barrier were a dozen wounded knights, writhing with pain due to their nasty slash and bite wounds.
Tending to these soldiers was a shaggy-haired bespectacled man in grey robe.
[Holy Arts, Holy Light]
The bespectacled man casted healing spells for the soldiers continuously. However, his spell could only momentarily relief the patients from their pain rather than healing the wounds completely. As such, the wounded knights in the cave continued to be in agony, ever-continuously approaching the gate to the great beyond.
