The Night Raid Species' roars, the chaos of the night, and the monsters closing in from all sides were all violently torn apart once Gelman drew the Sacred Moonlight Greatsword.
The Exploration Team at the waystation couldn't possibly leave "Barbarian Warrior" Hart behind to hold off the enemy alone, nor could they abandon anyone else. However many had come, that was how many would leave.
Besides, Gelman was no longer the man he had once been. With him there to hold the line, the Night Raid Species' attacks were far less frightening than before.
