Gehenna Realm, Dreamdust Territory
Shortly after Hecate returned to Illusory Moon City with her six Dreamcatchers and three Vampiress Lords, darkness encroached on the land.
An unprecedented sense of gloom and oppression weighed on the myriad races living within the prosperous city. The liveliness and bustling activities throughout the busy streets ceased, and an ominous sense of fear crept into everyone's heart.
It was like the Grim Reaper's hand had latched onto their hearts, ready to crush them with a squeeze at a moment's notice.
"W-What's going on?!" a Transcendent-rank Dark Fairy cried with alarm and dread.
Illusory Moon City had never experienced such large-scale ominous phenomena since its founding. Moreover, many residents have never encountered difficulties or danger due to its high quality of life and strict stability.
