A vast, ruined palace floated in the dark void. It was connected to a tilted, incomplete plaza, and had just been seized by the Demon Hunters of the Elder Council as one of their important Frontline Strongholds.
As such, it was also the perfect place to begin a counterattack.
A Fel Rune Stone flashing with green light, wrapped in Shadow Energy, flew out of the dark void. The rune stone slammed into the plaza before the palace with the weight of a meteor, instantly erupting in a thunderous explosion and unleashing sheets of crackling lightning. Amid the sizzling surges of energy, a twisted, filthy demonic portal suddenly yawned open, constructing a magnificent rift more than ten meters high in midair in the blink of an eye. The Elder Council warriors guarding the plaza were caught completely off guard. They jumped at the sight of the demonic gate opening, but immediately recovered, shouting warnings as they charged toward the twisted spatial rift.
Yet their movements were nothing compared to the demons who had been waiting on the other side. The instant the plaza's defenders began to act, the army beyond the demonic portal came charging out. A battle blade wrapped in the scorching aura of death thrust through the gate as if it would slice space apart, followed closely by a giant demon resembling a reptile, nearly ten meters long!
Heavy footsteps followed close behind. The clashing of countless weapons and suits of armor rang out as a scene that should have existed only in nightmares and legends of the Mythical Era unfolded: the Demon King's Army surged out of the portal!
"Enemy attack!" The Elder Council warriors on the plaza shouted the moment they saw Brotalos charge out of the gate. "Monsters are attacking!!"
The defenders in every other part
