Darkness

...

Meanwhile, in the skies above the battlefield outside the Night Lord's Crypt...

High General Caius was locked into an intense battle with the skounae Dukes, the Benevolent Darkseeker Malkonen, and the Twin Lunar Blades Duke Noresuga.

At the moment, Caius was pushing back the two skounae Dukes and held a clear advantage over them.

With every wave of his sword, Caius sent over a terrifying wave of the fire element shrouded in a heavy and sharp sword intent that demolished all that fell onto its path.

"My, this human is quite the handful to deal with." The elderly Duke, Malkonen, said as he avoided the wave of flaming sword intent.

BOOM!

"?!" An immense yet concentrated explosion erupted behind Duke Malkonen that caused a scorching heat to engulf his back and send him flying forward.

"Die, human!" Noresuga bellowed as he appeared above Caius with his palm pointed towards the Crimson Dragon Slayer.

Zeut! Zeut!
