The team quickly retreated, intending to converge upon Valentina's location.
Just as they were halfway there, her voice was heard throughout the maze.
"Retreat to the back! The beast has been killed!"
There was a brief moment of surprise on their faces, relief in their souls and jubilation in their hearts as the team retreated with a slight smile on their face.
Despite being on the stronger side, Eryndor found himself last as he struggled to return to his position.
This is so fucking difficult.
The fatigue his body felt was inhumane. It was difficult to muster up energy to even move.
Fortunately, the design of the maze was made in such a way that for the team to move around, their paths wouldn't cross with those of the beasts and would also reach their destination faster.

Valentina wasn't in a good condition either as she retreated to her position. Just like Eryndor, she was panting heavily as she struggled to stay still on Yang.
