East Coast
When the DeMega Potion appeared in the Goblin Empire, the Winged Embassy stationed in Proadas received the news at the same time.
They quickly transmitted the message back to the Winged Tribe, and Jano, who had not yet learned the full truth, personally traveled to Proadas City to meet with the Goblin Emperor. He exchanged 100,000 doses of the DeMega Potion and returned with them to treat the infected Winged people.
Like the Goblins and Trolls, the infected Winged people initially managed to stop the spread of the plague and began to recover. However, after three months, a large number of the infected not only failed to grow feathers but their bodies underwent significant changes.
Their faces became hideous and grotesque, their bald heads smoothed out, and fangs grew in their mouths! Their hands and feet reverted to a primal state, with sharp claws sprouting from their hands and feet! Their bodies grew tall and muscular, but their wings were permanently transformed into bare, leathery appendages!
Under the combined influence of the potion and the plague, their spirits became sluggish during the day, and they developed an aversion to sunlight, spending their time sleeping, resembling statues. But at night, they became active, flying through the city skies under the moonlight, hunting for prey.
At times, they were like beasts, and at other times, they retained their intelligence. But every Winged person knew that these recovered infected were no longer considered Winged people.
Fortunately, despite the enormous changes, they did not harm the Winged Tribe. Since they caused no harm, the Winged people felt nothing but sympathy and pity for them.
At this time, news of the Fallen Goblins reached the Winged Tribe. The full story of the Fallen Goblins shocked Jano.
He often thought that the formation of the races on the continent had been rather hasty. As for the Goblin Empire's decision to banish the Fallen Goblins to the wilderness, Jano realized he could never do the same.
The infected Winged people were relatively normal and truly pitiful.
Meanwhile, Jano learned about the origins of the werewolves who were also exiled to the wilderness by the Troll Tribe. He realized that the side effects of the potion were not an isolated case but affected all the races on the continent.
Unlike the other two tribes, Jano thoughtfully decided to relocate the Winged infected who had undergone dramatic physical and behavioral changes to an uninhabited mountain city in Lomanda.
He still considered them part of the Winged Tribe, but he gave them a new name: Gargoyles!
Thus, nearly 100,000 Gargoyles slept in the mountain city during the day and roamed at night. Those Gargoyles who lacked food and energy could even transform into statues, going without food and water for long periods.
The Gargoyles also gained the ability to advance in the supernatural path.
To maintain his connection with the Gargoyles, Jano placed two of the stronger Gargoyles in The White Bastion to guard the castle at night. He also formed a deep-night battalion made entirely of Gargoyles to protect the Winged people during the night!
With the plague issue under control, Jano began forging a sword that could be used as a vessel for the Law of Thunder.
Once, when the Goblins defeated the Thunder Titans and established the Goblin Empire, Jano was awarded a piece of the Thunder Titan's thigh bone as part of the spoils of war.
For years, this bone had been kept in the vault. When he decided to forge the God's Sword, he retrieved the Thunder Titan's thigh bone, traveled to the Dwarven Kingdom in the mountains, exchanged some rare metal materials, and discussed forging techniques with them.
