The mountain was taller than Zach first thought. It was like they had been on the top of the world. It also turned out to be a solitary mountain peak with nothing but the Urus Keep on it. Zach had a feeling that the last bastion of civilization wasn't just an expression for the fortress as they descended in the tracks of the monsters.
As he glanced upward, the light from the fortress no longer visible through the darkness, Zach hoped this would lead to the end of the Labyrinth. He did not feel like making the climb back there to continue defending the Keep.
When light started making its way through the thick clouds and the breeze calmed down, signaling they had made it far down the mountain, an unexpected and dreadful view spread out in front of Zach.
At the base of the mountain were nothing but monsters, monsters, and more monsters. They covered a vast plain like ants swarming over a sweet. But unlike the ants, the monsters were completely motionless.
