Within a black, fissured valley, two disorderly armies fought with all their might.
The bloated Corpsefolk creatures known as Bloated Corpses left trails of water that never dried beneath their feet, spreading water-soluble poisonous gas wherever they went.
Small yet exceedingly nimble, the Imp Clan Styx Imps wielded ghastly white bone daggers as they leaped toward one enemy after another, using their little blades to gouge out their opponents' eyes.
The streamlined monsters known as Volcanic Salamanders had flames rising from their scales and armor, and they spewed the sulfurous breath of volcanoes at the enemies before them.
Bai Xiaowen and Sigrdrifa had already joined up. They concealed their Spirit Force fluctuations with Spirit Sense and lay in Stealth along a ridge to one side, watching the scene unfold.
"Feishan's side mainly consists of large monsters, such as Bloated Corpses and Volcanic Salamanders. The demon Lord fighting him, on the other hand, relies mainly on small, agile monsters like Styx Imps and Lesser Imps," Sigrdrifa reported.
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly. "I've already found Feishan's true body."
Sigrdrifa was mildly surprised. "Where is it?"
Bai Xiaowen placed his palm over Sigrdrifa's forehead, and her face flushed faintly.
An image entered Sigrdrifa's mind.
The demon Lord Feishan was a Lava Colossus! His enormous body stood ten meters tall, radiating the sulfurous aura of hell as he Sovereign Ruled over the depths of a sulfur valley. He constantly issued commands in Demon Tongue through his thoughts, ordering the armies under his command to march endlessly toward the battlefield.
Before Feishan stood a group of smaller Lava Colossi, each with a five-meter-tall body.
Sigrdrifa said in surprise, "There's actually a demon race like this? I wonder what clan they belong to."
Bai Xiaowen said, "Have you noticed anything strange about this war?"
Sigrdrifa
