The broken, disjointed voices accompanied a mass of shadows darting forward.
The Shadow Mage firmly locked onto Hilia's position. Even in a state of madness, he was able to advance rapidly.
Along the path he traversed, all things withered; even the ants underground crumbled into yellow earth, as if a long straight line had been carved across the land.

The immense Demonic Qi solidified into a blade, slashing towards the front in an instant.
Ahead, two black figures had appeared unknowingly. They hastily blocked the Demonic Qi blade; one of them roared in anger, "Jode? What are you doing?"
The other shouted as well, "Wake up, Jode, we're the Caros! We're being hunted by the City Lord and Bishop of Southern Border City. See clearly—it's them who are our enemies!"
