The overwhelming light drowned everything.
Rod closed his eyes, his hands shielding his face, but even that couldn’t completely stop the light from penetrating his eyelids.
He didn’t know how long had passed, but as the light faded, Rod opened his eyes to find that all the monsters had turned to ash; the air had turned clear, the sky more spacious, the environment no longer oppressive, the shadows and anomalies had disappeared.
Eleven people clad in blue cloaks stood before him.
The one in the lead was a young woman.
She had delicate features and appeared to be no more than twenty years old. Underneath the blue cloak, she wore a peculiar robe composed of blue and white, with a strikingly conspicuous triple flame symbol at the neckline.
"Don’t be afraid,"
she said softly, her voice tender and clear like a lark in the secluded valley.
The moment her words reached him, Rod knew the last bit of hope had vanished—he understood every word she said but could not comprehend her language.
"You’re safe now."
As she finished speaking, the young woman’s companions dispersed to investigate and clean up the scene.
