This is a multimedia webnovel with giant city-crushing monsters, a valiant man who dares to fight them, a hero who loses himself on a righteous path, and a darkness which conceives a profound love. But I suck at descriptions, so I strongly encourage...
Every volunteer and evacuee had watched the Interfectus fly closer over the past many minutes, so everyone near the firewall tried to disperse. Many people ran northward through the forest so they could escape into the grasslands, but many others had to run south toward the other wall of fire. But as the Interfectus closed in on the west part of the forest city, it began moving toward the south.

Hatasuko heard several shrill screams over the sound of crackling fire and howling wind; these shouts came from people who would be cornered in seconds. Two volunteers tried to run around the Interfectus by leading a large group eastward, but the demon was so close that they had no escape. It used its first weapon to extend a shadow sword at an extremely fast speed. It shot out so quickly that it impaled the two volunteers, and then the sword slashed swiftly to the right. The shadow blade was so fast and so sharp that it chopped down every tree and tore through every person in the blink of an eye. Fifteen human bodies and twenty-one trees all came crashing down to the ashy ground.
"THIS HAS TO END!" Hatasuko roared as the surge of the tempest overwhelmed him.
The Interfectus heard his voice over the howling wind and the screaming victims. The demon swerved and unleashed its shadow sword with so much speed that Hatasuko never had a chance to defend himself. Vaida and Lazaro watched with horror as the blade blew through Hatasuko's chest, smashed him through a building without even slowing down, and then slammed into the ash-covered street. The blade had pierced through his whole body, and it struck so swiftly that the pressure jolted his body. Every open cut on his body spewed out blood, but he was unconcerned with his other injuries now that the blade-arm pierced his chest and back. In the place where an ordinary human housed organs, the blade instead tore through a thick bundle of veins and arteries.

"There's no way. I can't die here! I am the first Astrodeus. I am meant to save this world. Only I can save this world," Hatasuko thought.
In the moment before the Interfectus would have torn him apart from the inside, Hatasuko activated his Astrodeus power. With a mighty slash of the sword in his glowing right hand, Hatasuko destroyed the shadow arm of the Interfectus. His sword struck with so much power that he shattered the monster's armor and blade-arm all at once. Even the part that pierced Hatasuko crumbled into shards of black dust. Blood poured from his incisions now that nothing plugged the wounds, and he dropped onto his hands and knees while paralyzed by pain.
