Inside the volcano where the priestesses of the Land of Demons had sealed Moryo's body for generations.
This place had now completely become a terrifying Hell where demons ran rampant.
Countless demons poured endlessly from a broad black curtain like a black hole, seemingly capable of swallowing all light.
Its edges were irregular, with only a roughly rectangular outline, like a patch of darkness that had appeared out of thin air.
