Chương 148: Chaos

It started with the distant sounds of screaming. Then the sky turned orange, reflecting the fire that had begun burning over Helios.

Syryn mutely watched as pillars of black smoke choked the air above the burning city.

There were two horns coming out of the forehead of his demonic mask. Riaku's double wings were spread out with abandon and he held out his malicious sword that seemed to have grown in length.
