Screams echoed. Magic and blood colored the skies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being called a \"village,\" it was enormous, hundreds of towering structures carved from stone and wood, large enough to house the colossal minotaurs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The population had to number in the hundreds of thousands, maybe more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex's eyes scanned the area, but a voice quickly broke through the noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"DIE, PATHETIC INTRUDER!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A minotaur, nearly three meters tall, charged from behind and swung a massive, fur-covered fist toward Alex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't even blink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a calm movement, he sidestepped the blow and in the same motion, summoned the [Bleeding Dragon Claws] on his left hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clean arc sliced through the air, then through flesh and bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The minotaur's head dropped from its shoulders before it even realized what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't have time to waste,\" Alex muttered as the body collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His goal was simple, eliminate the [Chief of Minotaurs].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do that, and the power structure of their race would crumble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The angels would win this front instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He launched upward with his wings, soaring into the air above the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this vantage, he could see everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explosions littered the battlefield, both magical and physical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minotaurs clashed against armored angels, neither side giving an inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of war raged on, but none of it mattered to Alex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes burned with something deeper than flame, calculated focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then it happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His world went silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colors drained from his surroundings as everything darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world didn't vanish, it simply shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything turned black, save for the glowing white outlines of every moving entity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tens of thousands of glowing outlines, flickering in his vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't his usual detection pulse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, this was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A new layer of focus, unlocked through his [Eyes of Cursed Void] and their affinity with the \"Void.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pupils narrowed, and within a fraction of a second, he locked onto one presence. There.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toward the eastern edge of the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thunderous boom echoed as the [Chief of Minotaurs] roared, standing in the center of the chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It towered over all others, nearly six meters tall, covered in iron-tough hide and spiked armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every movement it made crushed angels beneath it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had already slain hundreds on its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then its blood-red eyes turned, straight toward Alex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"GRAAAAAAWHHHHHHHHH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its roar echoed across the battlefield, the sheer pressure shaking buildings and causing even some angels to stagger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Alex didn't even flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure rolled over him, but he didn't budge, not even a hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a breath.
