Blood Bath (1)
The atmosphere atop Mount Meru was thick with despair and fury. The death of Fire Kirin Kavi left an indelible mark on everyone, shattering the fragile balance Kent and his companions had maintained throughout the battle.

The sages, who had shown unwavering focus until now, faltered for the first time. Their chants trembled as they glanced toward the breached mountain top where countless demons roared and clawed their way up the sacred mount.
First Sage Paras, sensing the disruption, glanced at Kent. The fiery determination in the sage's eyes momentarily faltered as fear began to creep in.
