There's an ambush!
Shiva's expression changed, and he immediately halted his advance.
At the same time, the seventy-two Floating Islands in the square trembled in unison, with tens of thousands of red-black Magic Circle Diagrams forming consecutively on the islands.
A deep, solemn voice echoed from all directions, exuding a chilling malice:
"First in sequence, the only of the Supreme Four Pillars—Eastern Monarch Baal, present here!"
"Ninth in sequence, the second of the Supreme Four Pillars—Western Monarch Baimon, ready!"
"Twenty-ninth in sequence, the third of the Supreme Four Pillars—Southern Monarch Anat, returning!"
"Thirty-second in sequence, the fourth of the Supreme Four Pillars—Northern Monarch Asmodeus, on command!"
Immediately, the four voices joined as one:
"—The time of birth has come, to rectify all things here!"
A terrifying, eerie aura spread, making the once dead square seem alive.
Boom Boom Boom Boom!
