Beyond the Realm of Man

Everyone responded with a shout of unison, marching out of the gate as the first group had cleared up space for them. Most if not all of them were heavily armored, formed to at the very least endure the attacks. 

Du Xiu, Gao Ri lead them out, dressed in their personal armor and wielding their weapons. 

Ming Yue looked back at the lake, staring at it as the surface still rippled from the earlier shock. 

"When the time comes..." she thought. 

The young woman then looked at her two beasts. Hei Yue and Xiao Yin looked at her with worried eyes, whimpering and chirping sadly to her. 

"You two stay in here, I don't want either of you to get hurt, okay?" 

She spoke to them with a soft and tender voice. In this battle, neither of them would be able to help and furthermore, she truly did not want them to get hurt. This encounter is beyond dangerous and to let them join her would risk losing them.
