Aria and Aengus's battle had ended, leaving dozens of lifeless corpses scattered across the ground, most of which were felled by Aria's hand.
Aria panted slightly, while Aengus remained calm.
He glanced at the approaching group with indifference.
Aria also noticed their presence, but after assessing their strength, she didn't sense any threat. Still, she remained cautious, knowing that greed could drive people to do the unthinkable.
Finding their presence bothersome, Aengus began storing the remaining corpses in his space bracelet, planning to use them later to further enhance Aria's strength—only if she could handle it.
There were nine people in the group—five males and four females, all between 20 and 30 years old.
As Aengus began storing the valuable corpses, a few of the group's eyes gleamed with greed.
