Ibuki City, Iron-Cast Palace.
Seen from above, the entire city had been engulfed in flames of war. Billowing smoke stained the sky black, obscuring the colorful aurora.
On the ground, in the air, and in the water, monsters were locked in battle everywhere, their roars shaking heaven and earth.
Mutilated corpses covered the ground, and the blood flowing from them gathered into streams.
Ibuki City had a million monsters, and every citizen was a soldier. Even if they stood still and let their enemies behead them, it would take a long time to kill them all.

Oni Yunjie pushed forward, unstoppable. Leaving a trail of severed limbs and corpses behind her, she plowed a swath of clear ground through the monster tide.
Boom!
The ground trembled and burst open as a gigantic monster dug its way
