Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!

A raging tempest of steps echoed endlessly as tens of thousands of footsteps rang out. An army of warriors wielded blades, possessed varying number of tails, and they pressed forward to unhesitantly sweep through the village towards the northeast.

His small-sized armor and immature appearance seemed a stark contrast to his solemn expression and pitch black eyes and teeth. He seemed like a small demon coming out from hell, ready to reap away the lives of its enemies, yet at the same time, cute.
