Chapter 312: The City Post-Battle

The fighting in the city had ceased.

The group escaped the underground tunnel in the shadeling's stronghold and got up to the remaining tower complex, which was still standing. The city was still filled with fire and smoke; the smell of blood and death was all over the place but, at the very least, the roar of combat had died off. The dimensional tunnels and the light pillars of their city-leveling magic had also disappeared. From a distance, they could only see a few people sweeping the battlefield for survivors while a group of fully armed soldiers was patrolling the streets.

Hessiana quickly turned on her communication device. "Turcan, what's the situation?!"

"Mistress?! You're alright?!" A surprised voice responded. "Thank goodness. We heard that you went after Bethanos..."

Hessiana looked up to the sky as she laughed. "Nonsense. Nothing will go wrong when I'm handling this personally. Say... have the demon hunters been beaten back?"
