Although the Human Domain had been liberated, not enough time had passed from the Human Race to fully return. News hadn't even quite spread anywhere but the highest echelons of the various races.
It was perfectly natural for some humans to still think that their lives were hanging on by a thread.
As Leonel entered the dark region, his thoughts were spinning with one thought that he had yet to resolve.
If the Barbarian Race had helped the Human Race rise up, why let them be destroyed? Why even participate in their destruction? And if their destruction was important to their plan, why let Leonel reclaim so much territory so easily?
Sashae and Talon hadn't even appeared again after their first disappearance.
That belied another question, and that was why were they propping up the humans, Oryx and Sea Gods all at once? What had they done that managed to create Barbarian Invalids?
HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT
I've been working on Genetic Ascension since January, and now that my health is back in order, it's time to release it to the world. This is my official new series with RNIG ending soon, so check out the blurb here:

I don't really discriminate against my own novels, but honestly I think GA has the potential to be the best I've ever written with how the first vol ended and the second is shaping up. Give it a shot :)
