Yinande had changed massively since Lind had last been there. He was back a month before he decided to make the journey. He heard of the dangers but simply had Ethry send him as she had such power.
Yinande had been under the rule of criminal organizations for a long time but in the chaos of the last 3 centuries, it had become a haven.
There were few resources to exploit and it was in a bad position in the Floating Isles overall. It was the last place one would expect a demon power to set up shop.
Even more so, it was the former emperor of the Demon Empire of Blood! Yor!
He was alive and Viola was with him. Lind had thought they had died with the rest of their force in the Floating Isles but clearly Yor knew only death awaited anyone standing around once the war started.
The demon was strangely allied with the Babylon Guild of all things to create a refuge for Body Refining Realm and Soul Realms trying to escape the battles all over the place.
