For some reason, the sky had grown incredibly gloomy.
Many of the powerful fighters turned their attention toward Saint Saturn and Typhon.
The war had dragged on for so long that their instincts told them something was about to change.
An eerie aura spread across the ground as a mysterious magic circle with a five-pointed star at its center gradually appeared.
This clearly wasn't Typhon's doing. It was most likely the work of Saint Saturn, one of the Five Elders.
The aura building within the magic circle was much like the one Saint Saturn gave off when he transformed into a beast.
