The large group of Slave Rats and Clan Rats, along with a few Storm Rats, were swept into the Light of Exile, burning into a pile of residue as the Magic Vortex continuously moved, rushing in the direction from which the Ratmen were attacking.
The Ratmen's morale finally collapsed. These vermin scrambled to flee again, the collapse of one corner leading to the collapse of the entire army, and in the midst of cries and hollers, the rat tide left numerous corpses behind and retreated to its original location.
Seeing the rat tide defeat, Veronica felt a sense of relief wash over her, but a strong dizziness almost made her fall headlong.
"Veronica? Are you okay?" After a hard-fought battle, only about one hundred and fifty survivors remained, almost halving the size of the group, and most of those left were soldiers and militia. The refugees suffered heavy casualties. Seeing Veronica stumble, Surya quickly supported her.
