Synopsis

The chapter opens with the appearance of multiple second gates, separating the main characters and forcing them to rely on luck to regroup. They are immediately confronted by a horde of monstrous, clothed beings that resemble zombies, which are unusually durable, lacking any apparent critical point, and connected by strange mana threads. One of the characters attempts to use a powerful skill but is hampered by the need for a three minute charge, while the others are struggling to hold off the enemies with limited ammunition and growing despair.
