Meanwhile, outside the main battlefield, both the Source Star Alliance forces locked in fierce combat with the demon hordes and the reinforcements rushing to help were all keeping close watch on that pinnacle battle.
The reason they could only watch was twofold.
First, the fight between the Guiding Saint and the Abyssal Lord was too terrifying. The powerful, vast energies washing out in all directions made it impossible for ordinary people to interfere. Anyone who stepped foot on that battlefield would be torn to shreds by the energy storms.
Second, everyone had complete confidence in their Guiding Saint. They believed she would ultimately defeat that terrible enemy.
At first, things seemed to develop exactly as they'd expected. Even though that Abyssal girl's aura was shockingly strong, once their Saint went all out, she was beaten back steadily, her presence growing weaker by the moment.
The scales of victory began tipping toward the Alliance.
