The cold and crazed monsters didn't stop charging the Urus Keep until night fell and sank the fortress into darkness barely kept at bay with a sea of lanterns. As soon as the monsters withdrew into the darkness down the mountain, Nessa, Violina, Anerias, and Dukiel regrouped with Zach.
Zach told them about Soara's analysis. The mere mention of the monsters' similarity to the Basilisk and the Underworld's artificial life project was enough to make their blood boil and raise their spirits again despite fighting for a day without a break.
But they soon calmed down and told Zach about how it had gone for them. Anerias and Nessa were the only ones who had difficulty keeping up with the avalanche of monsters. But the soldiers of the Keep noticed which side was a little behind and threw most of their support that way.
