Beyond the spatial rift lay a vast plane revered by the local natives as the "Sacred Continent."
The civilization ruling this continent consisted primarily of strange intelligent beings—they possessed long, sharp mantis-like limbs, dense and resilient lizard-like scales, walked upright, and called themselves "Holy Servants."

Relying on the Holy Servants' formidable individual combat strength, profound mastery of the laws of wind, and despair-inducing numerical advantage, every invader had ultimately returned with feathers scattered, becoming nourishment for the continent.
