Clang!
The fierce wind blew, fluttering the robes.
A gigantic Flying Eagle Beast pierced through the clouds, spreading its wings in flight.
Several Holy City Warriors, clad in armor with swords and bows on their backs, stood on the eagle's back.
In the distance, the Holy City drew nearer, its massive mountains and waterfalls visible from afar.
But.
"Quick!"
"Faster!!"
No trace of homecoming joy on their faces, several elite warriors looked pale, a mix of urgency and panic.
The reason.
Buzz!!
An enormous shadow covered everything, seemingly blocking out the sky and sun, continuously spreading and obscuring the light in their eyes.
A stench filled the air as a fierce wind rattled their armor, chilling them to the core.
The elite warriors of the Holy City turned to look back and saw a hundred-meter-long black Winged Snake flying toward them.
Its vertical pupils were pitch black, and its scales covered in thick sores, as if some mutation had occurred.
