As a guess began to form in his mind, Roland instinctively closed his eyes.
When he squinted and focused his eyes again, the enormous figure in the distant sky had already vanished without a trace.
'An illusion? Or...'
As the thought crossed his mind, a dull, thunderous sound of hooves suddenly rang out.
The ground had barely begun to tremble when Roland felt a fierce gust of wind whistle past his cheek.
"RRRIP!"
It was immediately followed by a sharp, piercing sound that seemed to tear the very air apart.
The entire battlefield seemed to freeze for an instant, as if an unseen force had pressed a pause button.
The next moment, a horrifying sight unfolded.
The Demons that had been relentlessly suppressing and slaughtering the human soldiers just moments before...
Their bodies, from the waist up, slid cleanly away from their lower halves as if precisely severed, then crashed heavily to the ground.
"THUD! THUD! THUD!"
A series of dull thuds echoed out.
