Saint fought the towering abominations in the embrace of impenetrable darkness, while Nephis fought them in the light. Sunny, who shared the senses of both, felt almost dizzy due to the stark contrast between the two perspectives.
If there was one thing that united them, though, it was that the battle — the first skirmish of their Underworld expedition — was already more furious and perilous than almost any clash he had experienced before.
Ariel's Game, the Eternal City… even the Nightmare Desert. The scope of this battle was relatively minor, but the forces involved were simply terrifying.
By all accounts, Nephis and Saint — a Supreme Titan and a Supreme Devil, both supported by the power of shadows — should not have experienced much difficulty when facing opponents below the Cursed Rank. But the Dark Ones existed outside the familiar framework of Ranks and Classes, and their eerie assault was overwhelmingly deadly.
