The scene before them was both awe-inspiring and horrifying.
The rustling sounds of the cave spiders, their crimson multi-faceted eyes, and the occasional clicking of their mandibles all reminded the Glorious Mages present that this was neither a dream nor an illusion.
Gulp!
No one knew who started it, but someone swallowed hard, setting off a chain reaction.
"It's a swarm of beasts—endless beasts!"
"Are these our reinforcements?"
"Spider-type extra-planar creatures?"
"Are we saved?"
"…"
After the initial shock came wild elation, an eager anticipation for the final battle.
"Let's go—bury those evildoers!"
"Destroy them, destroy all the wicked mages!"
"Revenge… revenge…"
Orion descended back onto the city wall and watched the Glorious Mages, who were looking furious and frenzied as they scrambled to climb onto the backs of the cave spiders.
"They've been bottled up for so long—it's even more desperate than I imagined."
