Howl, howl!
Without warning, a series of distant low and muffled howls echoed in the air.
In the direction of the approaching Saint Night Army, the hazy sky was suddenly filled with swarms of black dots exuding an otherworldly glow, as if a group of unexpected fireflies were speeding towards Leo Ray and the others.
Under the silvery illumination of the two crescent moons, the outlines of these black dots gradually became clearer with time.
Looking up, they saw that amidst the deep blue night sky were flying Demon Beasts with the bodies of lions and sharp claws, but the heads of eagles.
Upon closer inspection, these Demon Beasts were incredibly robust, their massive wings shaking like small airplanes. Their sheer numbers were quite astonishing.
As Leo Ray narrowed his eyes, he continued to observe them closely.
