Han and the others encountered a few wounded Dark Practitioners. They were weaker than the man with the anti-domain essence, so his maids and pets handled them easily. Before killing them with Dark Cauldron Arts, Han forced them to talk about the situation at Tenaxis.

Getting the six horses to pull harder was tough. They were clearly under heavy stress from the mana vibrations in the nearby forest. Animals sense more than humans do, and nearby Dark Arts and sacrifices sent them into a panic.
Denver admitted he'd cut costs on the horses, too.
