The battle had taken a toll on Ejhay, and as the world outside the void realm churned in turmoil, he reappeared high in the skies, his body plummeting towards the earth. Panic swept through his companions as they watched their leader descend, seemingly lifeless.

Thulgrazes, quick to react, propelled himself into the air with blinding speed. He reached Ejhay just in time, catching him in his powerful arms as they hurtled through the sky. But when they landed, Ejhay remained unresponsive, his breathing shallow, and his pulse weak.

Ashel, a master of life magic, hurried to Ejhay's side. With his skilled hands, he examined Ejhay's vital signs, offering a glimmer of hope, "He's still alive." His brow furrowed as he delved deeper, his fingers hovering over Ejhay's life force. "But it seems he's clinging to the brink of death."

Elric, overwhelmed by the uncertainty of the situation, couldn't contain his frustration. His voice cracked with emotion as he yelled, "Why is this happening? We can't lose him now, not after everything we've been through!"

Thulgrazes, too, was stricken with grief and rage. He let out a roar that resonated through the land, a lament for the fate of his friend. His eyes, usually a shade of deep crimson, now glowed with fiery intensity as he pledged, "I swear, if Ejhay doesn't wake up, the Imperial Kingdom will pay dearly for what they've done."

Ashel, the voice of reason, gently cradled Ejhay in his arms and carried him to his chamber. With an aura of determination, he began administering a complex healing spell, replenishing Ejhay's drained mana and mending his wounded body. Though Ejhay remained in a state of near-death, Ashel was determined to keep his spirit from slipping away.

Meanwhile, Thulgrazes rallied the demon knights. He saw an opportunity for vengeance and redemption, a chance to bring retribution to the very heart of the Imperial Kingdom. The demon knights, bound by their loyalty, eagerly prepared for an all-out assault on the Imperial Kingdom's capital. Their strength and power, magnified by the desire for justice, made them a formidable force to be reckoned with.

The fate of Ejhay hung in the balance as the world around him prepared for the coming storm. It was a moment where hope, fury, and unwavering resolve converged into an unyielding force, determined to reshape the destiny of nations.
