Meanwhile, somewhere at the Amaharpe border...
"That was close. Taking that last attack head-on was out of the question. Avoiding it was also not an option. I would have had to use up a life-saving skill to survive. Fortunately, everyone was able to get through the portal in time." Luna internalized as she looked around and saw the group of captives celebrating their escape.
Some were jumping from joy, others were crying after escaping a certain death, and many were still in a state of shock as they tried to process what just happened. But, one thing was for sure, they were all relieved to have escaped that place in one piece.
Once Luna realized that everyone had safely made it through the portal, she wasted no time going through herself. Then, the moment she reached the other side, she immediately terminated the portal.
