Outside the shallow pit.
On the battlefield of the Keiform Flight Land.
Two Black Mountain Goats were entirely entangled together, forming a massive black cocoon, densely wrapped in dark green vines like silken threads, exuding a disconcerting aura.
The battle between the Mist Captain and six other Great Demons against Alpha, Starry Sky, and Atlas, the three deans, had reached a fever pitch, though they were very careful to keep the battlefield in the medium-height airspace—worried the deans might accidentally destroy the Black Prison's protective Array or shatter the 'rotten egg' woven by the Black Mountain Goats, causing the pollution to spread.
The demons had similar concerns, but their worries extended further, fearing if the battle damaged the stronghold walls, they would be stalled by the school's professors, allowing the 'allies' from the Dark Council to become the final beneficiaries.
Indeed, they had reason to worry.
