The Holy Church’s Holy Light Clerics crushed the Burning Legion on the Void Front, driving a few terrified demons toward a distant defensive wall. As the demons swarmed the wall to escape, arrows from the darkness shredded them, leaving the Holy Light Warriors and Naaru uncertain what was approaching.

• Tens of thousands of Holy Knights and Holy Light Clerics advanced through the Burning Legion, while white mechs blocked fleeing demons and ten sunlike figures searched for demon lords.
