"This is..." Mordekaiser's expression changed abruptly.
A strange unease had come over him without warning. He scanned his surroundings cautiously but found nothing.
"Roar!"
At his roar, every demon attacking the city's Barrier stopped and looked at him in confusion.
"Fall back. That's enough for today!" Mordekaiser barked.
"My lord, but today's attack has only just begun!" A small Hellfire came over, puzzled.
Bang!
A massive flaming fist answered him.
The poor creature was sent flying.
He crashed through a great swath of trees and flowers with a thunderous rumble.

The humans standing guard began whispering among themselves.
They had good reason
