The gates of the capital city slowly opened, letting the remaining members of the raid team walk through the archway.
The sun was starting to set while the merchants packed up their stalls for the evening. The knights didn't even bother looking around, keeping their heads down while they walked.
They looked completely exhausted and traumatized. They originally went into the Gate expecting a standard mutated zone, something a trained squad could handle with standard formations. Nobody expected a Mutated 7-Shard Anomaly that could vaporize a man with a single punch.
They didn't even say goodbye, just breaking off from the main group and heading straight for the knight's barracks to collapse in their beds.
Hajin stood there watching them go, letting out a slow breath while stretching his sore shoulders. He was also incredibly tired, wanting nothing more than to go back to his room, take a hot shower, and sleep for two entire days.
