Back at the destroyed section of the rainforest that had been the battle site, the fighting had finally ended. Fortunately, it was the defenders who emerged as victors, against all previous odds.
With Emma and Emily's support, the attacking Arcanists were unable to rain down death and destruction on the defending Runebound. That allowed the defenders to finish off the attacking Runebound before charging at the Arcanists with very few losses.
In the end, the attackers were slaughtered. No branded Runebound survived, as they all fought to their last breath in a crazed haze. Whatever the hunters had used to drive them to that point, it was clear that very little sanity remained in them.
As for the Arcanists, some possessed spells that allowed them to escape, but most were too slow to outrun the victorious and enraged defenders. Thus, only a few hundred of the thousands of Arcanists survived the battle, disappearing into the distance.
I hope you enjoyed reading :)
Consider leaving a review if you did!
And consider checking out my other novel, 'Dreadwolf, Lord of Runes', if you feel like reading something a little darker and with a mix of sci-fi and fantasy!
