1297 Staying back

After having had to fight off waves of Masked during the start of their attack, now it felt bizzare not encountering any. The lack of enemies didn't ease their minds, if anything it made them be on edge even more.

There were two possibilities the Cursed group had come up with as to why this was the case. One of them was that the Masked were no longer interested in them, most likely busy trying to subdue the Demon tier beast now that it was back on the ground. After all, that had always been their primary goal.

The second theory was that Raten was simply doing a far better job than any of them had expected, so well that not a single Masked had managed to get past him.

Whichever it was, it had allowed them to reach the Temple in a reasonable amount of time. There were no beasts nor any Masked outside, only a small person standing there to greet them.
