The endless stream of monsters that had clashed fiercely against the Fox Guild and the Blue Purgator masters for days suddenly stood frozen in their spots.
The abrupt change in their behaviour took all the masters by surprise; a hollow, terrifying silence replaced the chaos of the battlefield. Then, something unbelievable happened.
As if an invisible hand had pulled the plug on their mental control, the monsters stood paralysed for a full minute. Then, they suddenly freaked out. The hive mind that had directed them with brutality for many days shattered into a million pieces of raw panic.
They didn't just stop attacking; they scrambled in every direction they could find, any direction except the one that led toward the spirit masters. It felt as if these monsters could finally sense how scary and deadly those humans truly were. Instinctively, they ran as fast as their limbs could carry them, desperate to escape the slaughter.
