Chapter 9: Darkwood
The funeral ritual lasted for about four hours, the tradition of the soldiers required them to stand and watch their comrades burn until there was nothing left except ash.
There were just a few hours left before morning when the funeral finally concluded.
Everyone retired to their tents to rest and prepare for their journey towards the dark island.
King Julian instructed them to get as much rest as they could over the next four hours to mentally and physically prepare themselves for the arduous journey ahead.
Before leaving for his own tent, he did not forget to personally display his gratitude to Alister for his help.
"Without your help, more of my soldiers would've lost their lives to those abnormalities. Thank you, Alister."
Alister responded with a smile and nod, then shook his hand before both of them retired to their tents.
Reaching his tent, Alister summoned his character status to check his new stats.
