The battle on the borders of Caelid was reaching its end.
The Imperial Army had advanced with terrifying force, crushing nearly all remaining resistance from the Ultras.
Once Frey Starlight defeated V, everything began to move rapidly ..
so rapidly it felt as if the entire war was collapsing inward.
The Empire went into a frenzy. Their advance was brutal, unstoppable.
The War of Darkness had raged for months,
and throughout those months, countless Imperial citizens had perished ..
both the soldiers who marched to fight and the innocents left behind.
Nothing would ever be the same after this war.
That much was certain.
And because of everything that had happened ..
the loss, the grief, the endless bloodshed—
the hatred between both sides had reached its peak.
That hatred turned the soldiers of the Empire merciless.
They slaughtered the Ultras without hesitation,
even those who fought to their final breath.
What began as a structured battle soon devolved into chaos.
