Chapter 271: Holy war 9

With haggard breaths and tear-streaked cheeks, Lilliana watched in horror as her people, her friends, and even her loyal servants were mercilessly slaughtered and devoured by the demons that surrounded her. The once-proud House Tellus had been reduced to nothingness, obliterated by the arrival of the monstrous demon that had single-handedly decimated their forces.

Even the revered Sword of the Empire, her own father, had been unable to withstand the ferocity of the demon onslaught. The memory of his valiant struggle against the towering demon, its grotesque trophy—a slain archangel—dangling mockingly from its spear, seared itself into Lilliana's mind.

Despite the chaos and carnage that engulfed the battlefield, Lilliana found herself trapped in a cage, a bizarre sanctuary amidst the bloodshed. Surprisingly, she was treated with an odd semblance of care and respect by her captors, even as the world around her descended into madness.
