During the past five months, the demons had done countless perimeter sweeps throughout the entire Shadow Forest in search of Alex and Fran.
The great battle had ended a long time ago, but it wouldn't be truly over until the two kids were dead.
Unfortunately, attempts to find them ended in vain.
Although the demons occasionally caught sight of them and even engaged them in combat, the pair was simply too slippery and would slide right out of their grasps, escaping to safety.
Of course, Alex and Fran didn't always act passively.
From time to time, they took the initiative to attack. And whenever this happened, devastation followed suit.
Slowly but surely, Alex and Fran were learning how to use the power of the Gaia Rings. Thanks to this, their fighting prowess had reached the level of Heroes.
Winter had also come. Snow had started to fall within the forest, and it was especially bad at this time of the year.
