Silence.
Absolute silence.
Except for the sound of ragged breathing and blood falling from the ceiling of the dome, there was nothing but silence.
The blood beasts outside had strangely quietened down. Once the dome was formed, they didn't bother to attack it anymore.
They seemingly even forgot about the humans they had been fighting just now. It was as if the bloody battle never took place.
The blood beasts cast one final glance at the dome of the corpses before turning away and heading deeper into the Sanguine Forest.
Merlin scanned everyone's faces and said with a bright smile, "Alright, you may relax now. The beasts have gone."
Those words were music to their ears. As soon as they heard them, they collapsed to the ground, as if every ounce of strength had drained from their body.
The madman turned to Lisa, who was kneeling on the ground and breathing heavily, and gave a thumbs-up. "You did well."
