Chapter 252 Quel'Danas Defense Battle (Part 2)

Quel'Danas Border Outpost—if the remnants that resembled ruins could still be called an outpost.

Today's fifteenth—or possibly sixteenth—wave of attack had happened, who cared at this point? The relentless beings had finally retreated after leaving behind hundreds of shattered corpses. 'Retreated' hardly seemed the right term, though. In reality, their withdrawal was entirely due to the magic barrier's effect: a special barrier activated in the final moments that had blocked all life signatures near the outpost. Losing their main target and constantly under attack, the Dead Souls finally abandoned the area.

Less than ten sentries survived, and the mages supplying the magic power for the array were only two apprentices who had just moved beyond the apprentice stage. The limit to maintain the defense had been reached long ago. To have sustained it this far was a miracle among miracles.
