Destructive Battle (2 in 1)

Can't alter the outcome?

"What if it fails?"

The north wing forest was connected to a mountain ridge that was known by the sector as Herrocky Mountain. It was more than 20 kilometers long and was the spur of the Arto Mountain Range.

On top of one of the hills of Herrocky Mountain were four figures standing like monoliths with white masks over their faces.

Three out of the four figures were obviously human, but the last one looked very strange. It was almost five meters in height and ridiculously buff. Along with that fact, many other details on its body indicated that it was not human.

The question came from the strange figure in a rather odd tone. Like a parrot mimicking human speech, the pronunciation was very stiff.
