The battle continued until nightfall, yet it was still far from over.
Realizing this was a prolonged conflict, both soldiers and professionals consciously rotated in and out of combat, ensuring they were well-rested before rejoining the war effort.
Though this slowed the pace somewhat, it clearly made it more comfortable for everyone to handle the Beast Tide.
Of course, the battle line did retreat a bit.
However, relatively speaking, this combat rhythm allowed everyone to feel quite at ease.
If the fighting had been too intense in the early phase, only to lose steam later, the Beast Tide might have inflicted greater damage.
The residents of Hope Town were quite accustomed to this situation, but the outsiders, professionals here for trials, found it a bit unfamiliar.
What they couldn't adapt to was how surprisingly comfortable it was to handle a Beast Tide.
Yes, comfortable.
In the fray, coordinating seamlessly with teammates, slaying Demon Beasts wasn't so laborious.
