Scattered on the ground were stones etched with crude marks, forming a large magic array.
Dozens of humanoid creatures in earthy yellow robes stood around the array.
It was they who had activated the array, summoning four giant tentacles, breaking the suspension bridge, and leading Han Dong and his party down.
The leader, who had been communicating secretly with Han Dong, slowly lifted his hood.
What was revealed was a face of a black man.
However, his eyes were made of rocks, and his neck area was embedded with stones. According to the classification of low-rank creatures outside the city, he should be classified as a "Different Person".
Poor humans who failed to receive the protection of a country when the end came were mostly enslaved by the demons and became "Heretics".
They survived by dedicating themselves and serving the demons.
