As we entered the area, a cold cutting sound sliced through the air.

"Keiek!"

The lizardmen group that had been fluttering around in front of us was quickly dispatched. It was clear that the monsters here were no exaggeration, as we were immediately greeted by a swarm of them.

Despite the area being engulfed in flames, life still found a way to survive. How they managed to find food, I wasn’t sure.

There were various types of monsters. Fire-wrapped lizardmen, scorpions that spit flames from their tails, and enormous serpents with searing hot fangs. Each one was dangerous, but with the caliber of people gathered here, they weren’t much of a problem yet.

Neria was even contributing to the fight.
