When I woke up, I covered the next watch while Erani slept. Judging by the thin layer of smoke that had collected at the top of our shelter, it seemed I’d been practicing Noxious Grasp while I slept, as usual. I’d made sure to warn Erani about it before we lay down so she didn’t accidentally touch me and get zapped. Its Spell XP had risen to 196/355, and that was just halfway through the night; I still had Erani’s turn sleeping to continue my practice.

So I sat, patiently practicing while I kept an eye out for any threats. Of course, it was the middle of the night, so it wasn’t like I was going to see anything, but I kept an ear out, at least.

Once or twice, I noticed some smaller animals scurrying through the forest nearby, and I killed them with Ray of Frost for the XP. Considering the constant battle for my life, I would be remiss to let resources such as them go to waste.

You have slain Level 3 Wood Spirit.

You have earned 7 XP. Your XP is 156.

You have slain Level 2 Seeker Owl.

You have earned 6 XP. Your XP is 162.

It’d been some time since we’d seen any of the larger, more dangerous monsters, though. Sure, we’d just gotten through fights with Drakelings and Stripeks, but those were monsters we’d actively sought out. Other monsters like Wood Wraiths, Dire Bears, or even full-grown Drakes should have been more common.

Maybe the Demons were simply clearing them out during their search for us? They could just ignore the Rabbits and Wood Spirits and such, but larger monsters like Anacaps would get in their way. So it made sense that such a huge army of Demons would quickly push those monsters out of their territories. The Infernals could easily kill most of those monsters, so they were effectively overhunting them into local extinction. I wasn’t sure whether to be happy or sad about that—we didn’t have to worry about them anymore, but it would also have some incredible consequences down the line.

Though, I wouldn’t be living here much longer anyway, would I?

I was just glad that our staying away from roads seemed to throw the Demons’ lead on us, at least for now. Who knew how long it would be until we ran into them again.
