Again

Eric opened his eyes tiredly. He didn't feel rested, but one in the death zone never does.

Shifting his gaze to the girls, he saw that they were still deep asleep.

With a sigh, he glanced at the massacre that had happened just before he got to sleep.

The ground below the branch he was staying on was still covered in the acidic blood of the colossal monsters that had died not too long ago.

Though it seemed that most of it was already gone as it had begun to pour into the large hole Aria had managed to create.

The guardian… or at least that was what they believed to be the guardian before, was nowhere to be seen.

It seemed that after killing the colossal monsters, it went back into its cave.

The small spiders and larvae of the butterflies were nowhere to be seen, as the ones that had managed to survive the battle with Eric and Olivia had long fled the scene after seeing their colossal counterparts being so easily defeated.
