After massacring a group of monsters, Evan and Gerda headed onward. The steam gradually dissipated and their field of vision was growing larger by the second.
They didn't know how many opponents were left in total, but Evan didn't think there were many of them. The monsters were strong enough, but they could well be defeated. They were fighting two against nine, but Evan knew that even without Gerda's help he could handle them. He might have sustained a few wounds, but they would not have been serious.
Evan and Gerda were going forward in silence. From the outside, they might have seemed relaxed, but in fact Evan and Gerda were focused, because they could be attacked at any moment.
