Ira and the others were assigned outside the village, quite far away. Their task was to cut any reinforcement coming to help. Of course, that was just a pretext for them to avoid the Void Cult.
They knew their limitations as they might be a burden in a fight against the Void Cult. They agreed with the assignment and waited outside of the village. Exactly five hundred meters away from the village, but ready to join if there is any mishap.
It was until the sky split and a figure descended from the Void. Looking at the splitting sky, everyone froze. When the waterfall of Void Energy fell onto them. Everyone froze in the spot, not because they were frozen in terror. Because they knew it was not something they could avoid.
It wasn't until they noticed the world turned black and white. The black tree with no leaves. Then the Void Energy stopped a hundred meters above them as if there was something invisible blocking the Void Energy.
"This is Captain's domain!"
