Up until this very moment, everything had seemed far too easy for the Cacodemon, but the appearance of a Legendary Ethereal flipped the table, tipping the scales against it.
Ayala wasn't just any ordinary female warrior. She was one of the three Legendary Chieftains who guarded the shadowy depths of the Dreamscape, guiding lost Ethereals and protecting the barrier which separated the dream realm from the land of nightmares.
The Cacodemon, though sly and agile, was just a parasitic Ethereal who could not survive long without a host. It knew it wasn't strong enough to defeat the hulking female warrior in combat. But the cunning fiend had already hatched another plan to get what it wanted.
Ayala narrowed her eyes on the Cacodemon, her fingers tightening around the wooden blade of the war axe, and her jaws clenched shut. She rushed at the fiend, grunting like a wild boar, the ground shattering under her bare heels.
