For more than two hours, the Blood Mutants had been walking through the forest towards its center, as per Grim's instructions. During this time, they encountered multiple beasts in various shapes and sizes, forcing them to kill the creatures while protecting the unconscious Blood Bishop.
As they proceeded, the three Mutants recalled the techniques Ace had shown them as a guide for their training. Keeping this in mind, they practiced their blood skills, dispatching any hostile beasts that crossed their path, thereby enhancing their fighting abilities and blood strength.
While still on their journey, the heavy sounds of aircraft engines echoed above them. Looking up, they spotted a Granian ship hovering over them. The ship gently landed a few feet away, and Lord Grim and Grand Master disembarked.
"The expedition has been called off," Grim announced, activating four Blood Mutant blockers.
