In the forest.

On the cliff, the Rank-7 Mages started to fight again after confirming the ground's stability this time.

Raven did not even have the time to think about something else when a Mage attacked her. She and Blaze fought together against that Rank-7 Mage.

Only a couple of Rank-7 Mages could not make it, while most of the people who fell were the mercenaries. Raven and Blaze were not the only two grieved at the situation. Almost everyone was because Clara had fallen down the slope as well!

Though Rufus was anxious to go down the steep to look for Clara, he could not do so because the old man in white robes did not let him do anything. Moreover, he had seen Ozul jumped down willingly at the last second when the cliff was about to fall, and that made his heart have a little peace.

He knew that Ozul was at least as strong as himself, if not even stronger, although he would not admit it.
