Outside the city walls, the military convoy sped across the barren road at high speed.
Each soldier sat upright, gripping their weapons tightly. Their eyes were sharp, scanning the surroundings with unwavering vigilance.
Everyone knew the truth.
Beyond the city walls was a no man's land.
Since the appearance of the Abyss, humanity has lost vast portions of its territory. Entire regions had fallen into chaos, overrun by creatures that were once ordinary animals.
Now, the Beast Race dominates nearly half of the world.
With the emergence of mana, trees had grown into towering monstrosities, and animals had evolved into terrifying beasts.
The balance of the world had been shattered.
Humanity was no longer the undisputed ruler of the land.
Instead, they were locked in a brutal struggle for survival.
And worse still, humans were fighting on two fronts.
The Abyss below.
And the Beast Race above.
The situation was far from hopeful.
