Tom cowered behind Yulia as she fended off the never-ending stream of soul beasts that seemed to materialize out of thin air. He had never seen so many creatures in one place before, and the sight of it was overwhelming. He felt like he was back in that dark alley all over again, only this time he had Yulia by his side.
As Yulia expertly wielded her soul sorcery, Tom couldn't help but be amazed at her skills. She was like a warrior, fiercely fighting off the beasts and never once losing her footing. She had told Tom about the origins of soul sorcery, a powerful magic that only a select few were born with the ability to wield. It was said to be a gift from the gods themselves, and Tom could see why.
Just as the two were starting to make their way out of the building, a loud crash echoed through the air. Tom and Yulia turn to see the source of the commotion, and their eyes widen in horror. There, standing in front of the building, was a massive, winged monster.
It let out a wave of electricity and wind, causing the air to crackle and the ground to shake. Tom stumbled back, barely able to stay on his feet as Yulia raised her hands, preparing to defend them both from the beast.
"What is that thing?" Tom shouted, fear evident in his voice.
"A demon," Yulia replied, her voice steady despite the danger. "I've heard rumors about demons in the city, but I never thought I'd actually see one."
As the demon advanced towards them, Yulia unleashed a barrage of soul sorcery, but to no avail. The demon was too strong, and it easily shrugged off her attacks.
Tom felt a surge of panic as the demon got closer and closer, its massive wings casting a shadow over them. Just when all hope seemed lost, Yulia grabbed Tom's hand and pulled him towards a nearby alleyway.
"Come on," she yelled, "we have to get out of here!"
The two of them ran as fast as they could, dodging soul beasts and debris as they went. Tom could hear the demon's roar echoing behind them, but he didn't dare look back. All he could think about was putting as much distance between himself and the monster as possible.
As they finally made it to the safety of a nearby alleyway, Tom turned to Yulia, panting and sweating.
"What are we going to do?" he asked. "That thing is too strong for us to handle on our own."
Yulia thought for a moment, her eyes scanning the surrounding area for any signs of help. Just then, her gaze landed on a small group of people, all of whom were wielding various weapons and standing their ground against the demon.
"There," Yulia said, pointing towards the group. "They might be able to help us."
Tom and Yulia ran out of the alleyway, fending off the soul beasts that suddenly appeared. The winged beast landed in front of the building, letting out a wave of electricity and wind. Yulia's soul sorcery skills were on full display as she battled against the creatures, her power originating from the same source as the soul beasts- the soul realm.
As they fought, a group of people appeared, shrugging off Tom and Yulia as a young man named Erdwin stepped forward. He rushed the beast with a giant battle axe, drawing the attention of the winged monster.
"Who is he?" Yulia asked the group, but before they could answer, a swarm of soul beasts surrounded them.
Despite their best efforts, Tom and Yulia were no match for the creatures. Erdwin tried to fight back, his giant battle axe slamming against the creatures, but it was no use.
"We have to retreat!" Erdwin shouted as he pulled Yulia and Tom back. "This creature is not just a soul beast, it's a demon!"
"A demon?" Tom asked, stunned.
