Four hours pass, huffing and puffing with pools of scarlet spread across the wasteland. Shenzi stands with White Flame stabbed into the ground, hanging onto the end of his life. With but a gentle blow of wind, Shenzi would topple over. Rapidly absorbing the life force of the 15,000 beastmen he had killed, his cells buzzing in excitement.

Unknown to him at this time, a great calamity is approaching outside of Abyssal Prison. Just a few kilometres away from Reinhardt City, two men dressed in complete black, with red eyes, purple swords at their sides. Moreover, a vast army of demons lay waiting to pounce on their prey.

The leading man with an aura of decay speaks to the young looking man. "Go my son this is the so-called home your older brother built. It's time to to get to work. For this operation commenced by the Demon Lord, I have brought an army of 150,000 strong peak 2nd stage and initial 3rd stage demons. March forward and topple your brother's home."

These two men are precisely Shao and the demon that was sent to capture both Shao and Shenzi four years ago. Saluting the demon Shao shouts aloud to the army behind him. "Charge forward you maggots, for every person you kill you gain ten contribution points. If you manage to kill Obsidian or Catherine, you will immediately get promoted."

The trained and battle-hardened experts of New Heart Village. Smash the drums a tune of war, waking up the entirety of Reinhardt City like a colossal sleeping giant from ancient times. With the average strength of everyone reaching stage two four stars, and the select few third stage experts. This war is already in favour of the demons.

All the mercenary squads assemble under the leadership of Catherine, Obsidian, and the various other war generals Shenzi had selected. While lacking in strength, everyone present had trained to assimilate their fear into power.

Both armies advance, radiating a killing intent thick enough to be seen from miles away. This bloody war commences, the troops of each side collide. For each demon killed, on average three humans would be the equivalent of a single demon's life.

Already seeing the casualties reach up to three-thousand in a matter of seconds. Catherine, Obsidian and various other generals make their move. Knowing to survive today with their lives intact being near impossible unless a miracle happens all will die. With the embodiment of their miracle maker long gone, unaware of the chaos there is nothing but a .1 per cent chance of survival.

Engulfing herself with her Blazing Ice Heart Flame, Catherine runs into the middle of the demon's formation. Incinerating the demons into ash, and freezing them with a chilling ice component. Feeling Shao lock onto her, the deathly aura and sense of crisis, has never been so despairing in her life.

Sizing up Shao vigilantly, Catherine is taken aback in shock. "You why do you look like Shenzi, what reason do you have for slaughtering our people?" Speaking with a voiced laced with hatred and heavy killing intent, "It's simple I have come to eradicate my older brother's so-called home once more. Last time I failed, however, this time he has gone into Abyssal Prison without a care for the safety of his people. His ignorance is what will cost you your life."

Having seen Shenzi's previous down-trodden state, and his nearly insane craving for power. Catherine finally understands the weight upon his heart, the pressure he puts on himself is not for fun. Only because if he doesn't, no one else will stand up and take over the burden.

Unsheathing her Sword emitting the initial Sword World aura, Catherine throws all hesitation to the back of her mind. "I will not allow you to destroy the haven your brother had created for us. If it wasn't for the pressure on him already, he had put more on supporting the lives of hundreds of thousands."

Congealing her Sword Qi into her Sword awakening its spirit, Catherine chants, "I am the chilling cold. The bearer of the elven queen's bloodline, immolate my life force in exchange for world-shattering power."

The eyes of the elven ancestor form in the sky looking down upon Catherine. Sighing heavily before accepting Catherine's ritual. "Kid this is the last time the remnants of my soul can awaken. Previously this was meant to be used when the elven race is facing destruction. Now you're foolishly wasting this gift. However, your heart stays true to its decision."

Burning ninety per cent of her life force, achieving the power of an initial fourth stage expert. Catherine swings her sword killing thousands of demons in one swing. With limited time Catherine enters a state of slaughter forgetting everything else.

Kicking Shao in the abdomen sending him flying five-hundred metres through the air. Catherine uses the ground as a launch pad, exploding out with tremendous momentum arriving behind Shao. With a clenched fist punching down on the back of Shao's head, his skull caves in as he's launched into the earth, causing cracks to spread like a spiders web.

Thrusting her sword down with the Blazing Ice Heart aiming for Shao's heart. The size of a pebble stops Catherine's sword that was kicked by the demon. "Women you're indeed crazy, sacrificing your life for the one you live. It's too bad your feelings will never reach Shenzi. However, I cannot allow you to kill this brat. He's the next in line disciple of the Demon Lord, despite your beauty and the urge I have to mount you. Your life will come to an end today."

Raising his hand, a Domain of Darkness spreads about enveloping Catherine. Already in a frenzied state, with this Domain completely eradicating all her senses and battle instinct. Catherine gets impaled by a spike entering through her lower body, exiting through her mouth. From the force of the spike entering Catherine, all her organs are destroyed by the power with her heart exploding.

Exiting his domain the demon teleports Shao's body away. Looking down at the human, dwarves, and elven forces still retaliating against the demon army. He decides its about time to put an end to their futile struggle.

Enveloping the surrounding 2,500 kilometres with his Darkness Domain. Multiple pikes erupt from the ground, piercing through the lower bodies, and exiting through the mouths of all the human forces.

Chuckling to himself in pleasure from the single-sided massacre, teleporting all the human shishkabobs into Reinhardt City. The demon general laughs maliciously "Oh Shenzi my body. I wonder what the look on your face will be like, seeing the gift your "loving father" have granted you to see when you come back to look at your home filled with bloodstains and corpses."

Teleporting the demon army away and exiting Yang Major World, Aran returns to the base of the Demons kneeling in front of the Demon Lord. "Your majesty the deed is done; however, I fear the cogs of fate are turning already. My boy seems to have awoken a small part of the Retribution Dragon Bloodline inherited from his mother."

Nodding his head and smiling the Demon Lord speaks, "Interesting, that bitch escaped my grasps falling in love with a human. Now I finally have the chance to mutate my bloodline into a superior existence. The day is fast approaching when you're like a ripe fruit ready to be plucked."
