Caxon had not realized how far they had dropped since the tunnel before was so step but now as they dragged 7 bodies behind them up a tunnel that he was forced to constantly create it felt like the distance they needed to travel had grown.
After hours of climbing and just as Caxon was actually starting to get tired from constantly using his mana immediately after a fight they reached the surface as the tunnel opened up to the sun that was just starting to go down.
Now that they were out of the cramped tunnel system Caxon made a cart that they could place the bodies on as they headed back to the city.
By the time they arrived night had already arrived and they rushed to the guild so they could accept their rewards for completing both quests.
As they walked in with the cart full of unconscious bodies the adventurer's guild staff and few others that were still there late at night struggled to keep in their gasps of shock.
