As the giant beast's attack ended, the Runes on the city wall dimmed.
Clearly, both the giant beast and the Immortals' Runes consumed energy.
And war, at its core, was a contest of attrition.
A drain on energy and lives.
Once the bombardment ended, the Demon Beasts charged.
"Woo! Woooo!"
"Rumble..."
Horns blared and feet thundered without pause.
