After departing from the Beast King's lair, they still had to travel for a few more days before reaching the outskirts of Nemesis Forest. However, do not make assumptions simply because both sides had started off in a hostile state, they even felt a great urge to rip each other to shreds. The humans have killed numerous spiritual beasts as well.
However, after having interacted with each other along the way, a deep friendship had been established between the humans and the spiritual beasts.
"Roar!"
The spiritual beasts let out a deep roar, and charged towards the direction where they had come from. Except, they glanced reluctantly over at the humans behind them before they left.
In contrast with the Beast King's hypocrisy, they truly felt reluctant to part with them!
