The battle continued until dawn, when the first ray of sunlight appeared over the sea surface.
The Faceless Warriors began retreating steadily into the deep sea, while the Dark Faceless Ones quickly hid within the pitch-black abyss.
After dying, the Faceless Warriors floated on the sea surface and were continually washed onto the beach by the waves. Their corpses dissolved quickly in the sea, turning into sticky black grease...
On the beach, the Dark Faceless Warriors that had been frozen into ice sculptures by Magic Crystal Arrows finally began to slowly melt after the sun rose above the horizon.
By then, Fishmen Monsters had already taken advantage of the Dark Faceless Warriors' frozen state to smash their heads apart with Iron Hammers, leaving them as lifeless rotten flesh.
At least two thousand Faceless Warriors died that night in the Outer Sea and shallows outside Sun Island Bay.
After fighting through the night, several hundred of the three thousand Sirens had been caught by Faceless Warriors and crushed to death, their bones shattered throughout their bodies. Even more had suffered injuries of varying severity and were still tainted with highly corrosive Darkness Qi.
After working through the night, many Priests from the Holy Knight Order had completely exhausted their Holy Light Power.
Commander Jerome transferred another group of Priests from the North Coast camp, and they busily treated the Siren Warriors after the battle. Roy noticed that Ailis was among them. He had not seen Lia for days, but seeing Ailis occupied with treating injured Siren Warriors, he did not go over to ask.
Instead, the Siren Jiezena dragged her exhausted body over to Roy's side and rested against a sea reef rock.
"I never imagined fighting the Dark Faceless Warriors would be like this. This victory did not come easily..."
