Trapped in the unwavering veil of darkness, all were struggling still, yet to the best of their abilities, they continued to fight against the herd of monsters.

Under the leadership of Utua Taglagas, a group of mages and martial artists were assigned to help the ones in need.

They had taken the responsibility of guarding those incapable of fighting while also making sure the place was optimal for treating the injured. Some were also mobilized as search and rescue teams.

Occasionally, monsters would find their way to their location, causing trouble and striking fear into their hearts.

Yet oftentimes, familiar faces would arrive bringing both comfort and more support.

"Casper, Wendy!" Said Septh upon seeing their return.

Utua also immediately followed suit, as she was truly glad to see them. With a relieved smile, she then warmly said,

"I'm glad to see you all!"

Upon gazing at her friends who were likewise quite relieved to see her state, she then directed her attention to the little lady.

With a soft pat to the young girl's head, the princess then spoke,

"And hello to you both."

Feeling a wave of unworthiness, the two kneeled on the ground. They were, after all, in the presence of the King's esteemed daughter.

Yet Utua gave a subtle look that believed it was unnecessary,

"Please, stand both of you. A friend of Naell is a friend of mine."

"We are too honored with your kindness, princess." Replied the elder while the young girl next to him nervously smiled in awe.

A little while ago, when the incident had just occurred, Anna, her grandfather, and some of the other commoners could only gather in fear of the sudden arrival of monsters.

Luckily, before harm could be done to any of them, Naell and Owly swiftly rescued the helpless guests.

It was apparent that the duo were not actually wandering aimlessly.

• Your feathers sure are useful! •

• Praise me more, HOOT! •

And after saving them, Naell and Owly encountered Casper and Wendy who were guiding others to the refuge zone.

It was then both were briefed on the situation. They were also told of where assistance could be of use.

As for the measures being taken outside, the kingdom and guild alike sent scholars and spies to try and see how this sturdy barrier was created, as even the likes of Sarah Star could not penetrate it.

"It has thoroughly condensed mana and aura combined." Said Aestero, the Guard Captain of the Magic Knights. He was one of the people who tried to create an entry on the said barrier.

Sarah Star nodded. Even her attempt, as impressive as it was, bore no fruit against the blockade.

Among themselves, they discussed and theorized how such a thing could have come to be, when one of the scholars whose face was dyed with grim sternly said,

"It is possible that this intricate spell was made with the life force of awakened monsters..."

In response, all of their faces dropped as they glanced at one another. Only once before had a similar theory been told; collectively, they uttered the same thing,

"The incident of the Noble Summit."

Silence imbued the place until only Sarah Star's words were heard,

"Report this to the guild and the Kingdom... A barrier must be placed and we must evacuate the people within the school's vicinity."
