"Aaaargh!"
A piercing cry of agony echoed through the Kolaver Forest, joining the chorus of previous cries that marked lives being extinguished.
Amidst the dense foliage, a desolate clearing emerged, created by the clash of two opposing factions of Rankers. Eren and Sofiya comprised one group, while the other consisted of the demonic rankers hailing from the city of Shadow's Edge.
The aftermath of their violent confrontation was strewn with the lifeless bodies of the fallen demonic rankers, a macabre tableau of severed organs, and spilled entrails. The pungent stench of blood saturated the air.
The cacophony of helpless cries abruptly ceased when Eren's Tachi claimed the head of the final demonic ranker, a man named Faim. Faim, a former member of the Stardust Guild, had relentlessly pursued Eren with a vengeance in his heart. Confident in his progress as a demonic ranker, Faim believed he had surpassed Eren. He had honed his mastery of demonic magic to a remarkable degree.
