The mountains stretched on like slumbering beasts upon the earth.

In a forest amidst these ranges, intertwining branches loomed threateningly in the darkness, an occasional startled bird taking flight, the flapping of its wings resounding distinctly in the still of the night, but fading as quickly as it came.

Moonlight, sinister and piercing, filtered through a mottled canopy of trees.

On the leaves, specks and droplets of crimson blood, some dried, others sliding down, hanging from the edge of leaves, dripping slowly to the ground.

Within the woods lay two ferocious and shattered corpses, scattered throughout the forest, exuding a pungent stench of blood.

From these pieces of flesh, a ghastly appearance could be pieced together.

Humanoid, with green skin, black veins, and elongated ears.

At this moment, the rustling of leaves resounded from all around the forest, as if something was rapidly approaching.

Soon, amidst the forest mottled by the forbidding moonlight, various shadows emerged.

Strange, deformed figures and massive beasts – leopards, wolves, wild boars…

Demonic energy coalesced, clearly a group of demons, about a hundred in number.

Yet upon gathering here, these demons prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling as if in the presence of some creature they feared, an aura that lingered in this place.

“Have you found the one who murdered our kin?”

Just then, a voice as grating as bone scraping sounded.

Immediately after, from the shadows where moonlight couldn’t reach, three sinister silhouettes appeared.

Their appearances matched the two dead bodies: humanoid, with green skin, clad in black bone armor.

On their smooth skulls, raised and uneven bone scars, deep-set black eye sockets with green eyes, and mouths bearing sharp, elongated fangs; their appearance was daunting and horrifying.
