This was an ancient space cast in dark tones. Strange, dense black mist filled the entire sky, and chilling power seeped into every corner of this Ancient Realm.
Teams of Soul Clan experts clad in heavy armor occasionally crossed through the air on patrol, their defenses exceptionally tight.
It seemed the atmosphere within the Soul Realm was exceedingly grave and oppressive, which was also related to the predicament the Soul Clan faced.
