Sais Plane, Devon Highlands.
The dark-red earth was riddled with countless cracks. Scarlet mist billowed from them, spreading throughout the plane.
Any life or object touched by the scarlet mist either withered and died in an instant or twisted and mutated into a mindless killing machine.
Infected animals grew enormous fangs in their mouths, and deformed lumps of flesh covered their bodies. Red eyes would occasionally appear on the bloody lumps, each one swiveling as if observing the world around it.
Infected plants tore free of their roots and crawled across the ground on blood-red tendrils. Their leaves grew razor-sharp, like steel blades.
Countless infected creatures like these mindlessly hunted down other life-forms, killing and devouring them.
As the infected creatures devoured one another, those that had absorbed enough Abyssal Power instinctively fled from the others nearby. Once they found a safe place, their entire bodies transformed into enormous Meat Cocoons.
Finally, after two and a half hours, Abyssal Demons of all shapes and species emerged from the cocoons.
However, few of these Meat Cocoons had any chance to complete their transformation normally.
Most of the time, other creatures infected by Abyssal Power simply devoured them along with the cocoons.
This slaughter continued without pause across the outskirts of the Devon Highlands.
The dark clouds overhead mingled with red mist, blotting out the sun, moon, and stars. The entire plane lay shrouded in dark red.
Scarlet blood rain drifted down from above now and then.
Each downpour further dwindled the life and things that still remained in the Devon Highlands.
The blood rain, steeped in the Abyssal Corruption Force, was destroying the ecology of this land.
At the heart of the Devon Highlands!
Countless Demons faced off before a vast passageway. They stared at it with unconcealed greed
