Rumble.
Rumble.
A loud noise, as if the hooves of countless horses were approaching, could be heard.
Those who were already awake alertly stared at the black mass that came rushing toward them.
Those who were asleep stirred awake at the unusual noise.
It was early in the morning, around 3:00 a.m.
"It's a monster tide!!"
A student with extraordinary eyesight exclaimed.
The monster tide came from all directions. The students' expressions turned solemn at such a massive sight.
"Prepare to shoot."
Alaric gave the order.
Yuna opened her palm—flutters of butterflies flew out from her hand, and each butterfly landed on the torch stands. Each butterfly merged with the original flame, making the flame larger. The flames then took on the shape of butterflies, flickering atop the stands.
It was an ethereal sight, but the students didn't have the time to appreciate such beauty.
The horde coming from all sides was daunting.
