As more and more players entered the battleground, the number of Bloodfang Beasts was being cleared at an astonishing pace. At this point, most of the players had already converged. But those who made it this far weren't your average players—they all had the same objective.

Ethan cleared the path ahead, Silver Fang guarded the rear, and Elena stayed in the middle to provide healing.

By now, nearly every step forward meant clearing out dozens—sometimes hundreds—of monsters.
