The disaster that had urred in the Fairy Forest copsed in an instant, as if it had all been a prank by the fairies themselves.
The light that rose from the center of the forest not only illuminated the darkness but also purified all the shadows that had burrowed into thend.
Watching the forest regain its former lushness, the priests praised the Creator and the Saintess. The knights and mercenaries mobilized for this task expressed pure admiration, while the mages let out a sigh of relief.
However, strangely enough, several sages who had entered the forest did not return for quite some time.
Even as the sun descended and the crimson glow of the sunset disappeared, the forest remained eerily silent, fully enveloped in the night.
As anxiety began to take hold of the frontlines, a sound of dozens of footsteps, but seemingly all one, echoed across thend.
It was the Arlen Knights, the kingdom''s most formidable order, making their appearance.
Though the army had cheered for the knights’ arrival, especially given their heroic lineage from the mythic era, their subtle reaction caused the cheers to slowly fade into silence.
"...Huh? Where are the others?"
In the midst of this, an inquiry arose. The return procession consisted only of the leaders who had entered the forest first and the Arlen Knights.

Noticing the Queen''s intention, Benedict nodded and cleared his throat.
"Everyone, listen!"
A single knight’s voice reverberated through the dimly lit world. Those who had been drained by fatigue raised their heads upon hearing the voice.
