One month later.
Herag and the other two stood in the mountains, looking at the familiar mountain range in the distance, feeling a sense of relief as if they had returned home.
They intentionally slowed down on their way back, giving off a vibe similar to slacking off at work.
Originally, it would have taken about ten days to return, but they dragged it out to a month.
After all, they only needed to get through the year, returning too early would mean other tasks.
With the current escalation in the war, most tasks came with a certain degree of danger.
If something went wrong near the end of the year, it would be a big loss.
Facing danger aside, they might even lose the qualification to enter the Land of Dawn for not completing the task.
Hence, Herag thought it through clearly, as he had extensive experience in slacking.
Normally, they would be back around this time; it was just Herag completed his task too quickly and too easily.
