The earpiece crackled.
Judy's voice came through.
"Drones have located crewmates. They are engaged in combat with ghouls. Guiding you to their location."
"Alright," I said.
Dante grabbed me, and we moved fast.
As he carried me through the forest, I felt a strange mix of relief and tension.
'I don't know if this is Fate's doing or coincidence, but we're lucky the crewmates are here. And if they're here, the inn girl must also be here.'
'I need to meet up with them quickly.'
We reached their location.
The crewmates were fighting in a forest clearing.
Two of them wielded swords.
Judging by their speed and strength, they had physical capabilities of Rank 4 Exorcists.
One crewmate was firing guns while running circles around the battlefield.
His aim was shaky, but he was keeping pressure on the ghouls.
Two more crewmates were behind them.
One was severely injured, bleeding heavily.
The other, less injured, was shielding him.
