Reign of Steel

Sunny sensed it before he saw it. 

An invisible, but undeniable change that spread across the battlefield. 

He was not affected himself, but the Fire Keepers certainly were. They did not grow stronger, and their swords did not become sharper…

And yet, suddenly, more Nightmare Creatures were falling to their blades. More blood was flowing to the ground, but less of it belonged to humans.

Observing the inexplicable change through shadow sense, Sunny couldn't help but feel a deep sense of confusion. There was no reason for the sudden shift in the cadence of the battle, but it had shifted, without a doubt. 

Lacking any other explanation, he was tempted to think that it was a result of luck. 

But there was something deeper than that going on…

He continued the wanton slaughter, defending one side of the Ivory Island.
