Outside St. John's Cathedral, New York, countless demons closed in from all four directions, their numbers steadily increasing.
The Night Walking Divine Dragon clan guarding the cathedral was severely understaffed and trapped in a passive defensive position.
Though one side represented Heaven and the other Hell, judging by their appearances, no one would object if they were all said to have come from Hell.
The Night Walking Divine Dragons had blue faces, fangs, and the appearance of grayish-brown clay gargoyles. Regardless of gender or age, they all stood over two meters tall, with burly builds, broad shoulders, and thick waists.
Their weapons included double-bladed axes, single-bladed axes, battle axes, and Great Cleavers. Every last one of them followed the rugged-manly route.
The demons, on the other hand, were much more refined.
The lower demons had crimson sclerae and black veins across their necks and faces. At first glance, they looked like idols following a dark aesthetic.
By comparison, the higher demons were rather hard on the eyes. Their bluish-black, ridged skin, sharp teeth, and claws rivaled those of the Night Walking Divine Dragons.
From afar, they looked human. Get a little closer, however, and their overwhelming sulfurous body odor would make you nauseous.
Naberious, the demon leader, had not arrived. The commander of this battle was one of his trusted subordinates.
To avoid being discovered by Hell, Naberious had kept a low profile and had not participated in the war between the two races for a long time, leading many Night Walking Divine Dragons to suspect he was dead.

There was something inside the Grand Cathedral that Naberious wanted. For it, he did not hesitate to send vast numbers of his descendants to their deaths.
Adam, Frankenstein's Monster!
