A few minutes earlier, Priest Ah Long suddenly opened his eyes, his breath hot in the air.
"...What?" He sat up in bed, feeling a burning pain in his nose.
Outside the window, the intertwining firelight was like a giant beast opening its eyes, slowly approaching in the dark.
He didn't even have time to put on shoes and rushed to the window barefoot.
In the next second, he saw the fire.
It was not a fire disaster.
It was a group of... Knights.
The heavy armor reflected a cold, hard metallic luster in the firelight, like fiends from the Abyss.
They carried strange metal devices on their backs, moving steadily yet swiftly, piercing through the outer defenses set by the insect corpses.
Flames roared and surged from their hands, as if they could devour everything!
"How, how is this possible..."
His voice choked in his throat, staring in disbelief at the rolling, burning flames ahead.
