"Move out, you bunch of idiots, get your butts off the ground!" The Abyss Demon's roar marked the beginning of Lynch's participation in the blood battle. No matter which space or race they came from, everyone stood up; their feet either moved willingly or were forced to start moving forward.
The guy in the black robe used a staff to support his body, barely getting to his feet. He was slightly shorter than Lynch, perhaps just an illusion caused by his hunched and bent posture. Lynch knew that the two mages would not stand side by side to fight; everyone viewed the other as a potential threat in their hearts, causing them to hold back. He gave the black-robed mage a slight smile, then left with the Desire Demon, joining a faster-moving group.
The black-robed mage nodded and also disappeared into the demonic army.
