"Good thing I was here. With numbers like these, we might not have been able to hold them back without wide-area attacks."
Bichu Town had descended into a fierce battle of attack and defense as vast numbers of Kali and Sacred Beasts appeared. Shen Fei's side used the same strategy as before: Rune Script created a sea of fire, Iceberg blocked the Kali and Sacred Beasts, while Rama, Lakshmi, and the others dealt with any stragglers, ensuring that the villagers would not be injured in the assault.
Judging from what had happened before, once the villagers here were injured, there was a high chance they would be deemed imperfect and eliminated after the cycle reset. Shen Fei had always harbored a question about this: what exactly counted as being injured? Bichu Town was relatively safe because they were here to stop the Kali, but what about the other towns? Take the southern town where they had encountered Asclepius earlier—there was no one there to defend against the Kali. The townspeople being injured would be the least of it; dying at the hands of the Kali would be perfectly normal. So how would those dead people be judged? Perfect, or imperfect?
