The Pyre

While moving through the castle, the silence was overwhelming. Although everything smelled of blood, it was obvious that the battle had already ended. The blood and the scent of rotting flesh gave everyone hope as they rushed into the room where they had left the soldiers earlier alongside the Emperor.

The sight which met them was enough to stop the entire army. Even Lan Feng, in control of Hui Yue’s body, stopped and felt faint. He saw a room filled with blood. Beasts were lying dead all over the room. Small black cloaks were lying around as well showing that although the beasts had died, the crusaders paid an incredibly high price.
