It took a few hours for the dust to settle.
Before long, the once populous fortress was left in ruins, completely barren.
The walls had been demolished. The buildings had been destroyed. Only the blood remained running along the ground, as every single trace of life had vanished.
No Devil or human could be seen.
Silence shrouded the fortress, only to be broken by the sound of footsteps.
A creaking sound echoed as Liora's feet stepped onto a piece of Devil bone and crushed it to dust.
She showed a look of disgust, but her movements did not stop.
With her hands clasped behind her back, she continued her walk, wandering through the ruins with a calm expression.
Although her movements never stopped, part of her consciousness was not here.
It was focused on the illusory map flashing within her mind, coordinating everything.
The map depicted the Blood Forest Realm continent.
Millions of crimson spots were scattered across it, seemingly at random.
