"Dad!" Joy filled Klayton's eyes.
"W-Why are you here?" "You would've become food for the demon beast if I didn't show up!" Lennon sneered before charging toward the rest of the flying demon beasts.
Meanwhile, Dexter, Burke, and their men faced the demon beasts head-on as soon as they arrived. They charged ahead without hesitation, and the hundreds of people who joined the battle tilted the balance of victory in the humans' favor. In response, the demon beasts retreated and dwindled in numbers.
