Special monsters

At that moment, Ethan's focus was entirely on helping his friend recover. His mind momentarily set aside the enigma surrounding the monsters' presence in Orlando as he channeled his energy into ensuring Emily's well-being. The elixir's healing properties provided a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness that loomed over the city.

"The poison and the wound are gone, but it damaged your spirit. You should retreat," Ethan said. "I will ask Hannah to send you to her base."

"No… I had to fight for my hometown," Emily said. "This is my fault… my presence here is probably what makes it possible for the link between that world and Earth."

Ethan's eyes widened in surprise as he absorbed the weight of those words. The idea that the presence of summoned heroes could be the very link connecting Earth to other worlds, potentially leading to countless deaths, sent a shiver down his spine. It was a realization that struck him with a mix of shock and confusion.
