The bitter north wind still howled, while scorching waves of heat surged higher and higher, sweeping in every direction from the demon camp.
Drums thundered out the rhythm of a heartbeat as hideous demons surged toward their enemies.
Roar!!!!!
After devouring the corpses of the greater demons, the felhounds had not been sated. Instead, they grew even hungrier. Green liquid ran down their sharp teeth and slowly dripped to the ground.
With a powerful kick of its thick hind legs, one bull-like felhound sprang nimbly toward Rhonin.
