Rima was the first one who sensed the approaching danger as she was the strongest demon with the purest blood in the united army, however, even with her absolute intuition and fast reactions, she couldn’t act time to protect others from the ferocious assault, and in a matter of seconds, the golden shore turned into a bloodbath.Henry on the other hand, felt completely lost and shaken, as if a whole appeared under his feet, he didn’t even know how it all happened, one second, he was observing the armies as they arrived one troop after the other and began to form their lines, the water was calm, the sky was clear, the golden sands shone with a warm glow under the strange light, the forest looked strange but peaceful, however, right in the next second, the sky was hidden behind with thousands if not tens of thousands of
