Reign and Basred led their group into the depths of the demon stronghold, descending through layers of dark, ominous corridors and chambers. The air grew heavy with the palpable malevolence of the demonic presence. The walls were adorned with grotesque symbols and eerie paintings, showcasing the dark history of the demons.
As they ventured deeper, they encountered sporadic resistance from demon remnants who had not participated in the defense of the stronghold's outer walls. However, these isolated demons posed no real threat to the seasoned warriors of humanity, and they were swiftly dealt with.
Finally, they reached the heart of the stronghold, where the demonic core was said to reside. It was a massive chamber filled with dark, pulsating energy. At its center, embedded in the floor, was the source of this malevolent power—a demonic core.
