The battlefield became eerily silent.
The fight between the cloaked intruders, the instructor, Thane, and Celina, had ended.
The one controlling the undead was also dead, but his ring vanished as he died. No one noticed.
Then, one by one, the Dullahans that Celina hadn't struck yet began to crumble into dust. Their jagged axes hit the ground before disintegrating. The black mist that lingered around them vanished like smoke in the wind.
Celina heaved a breath of relief. She made sure that they were all gone...
And then... She collapsed.
Her knees buckled and her sword slipped from her bloodied fingers as she fell face-first onto the ground. The last of her strength left her body. Her crimson eyes dimmed as darkness took her vision.
'I'm so tired...'
The crowd of students stood still, staring in shock. Then, a roar of relief and victory erupted from them. They screamed they clapped, they wept... some hugged each other while others cheered for being alive.
"WE'RE SAFE!"
