At Crimson Brights, a little more than 4500 warriors of different families of demonic beasts were situated at opposite ends. On one side, there were 2000 warriors consisting of the Fiery Boarheads, the Sharpfangs, and the Deathblooms. These three families were dubbed the Three Major Families or the Three Majors. On the other side, there were more than 2500 warriors consisting of the Toxic Razortails, the Deerkins, the Fiercejaws, the Pincherheads, the Mud Wyrms, and the Thunder Lizards. They were dubbed the Great Alliance. Of course, in the eyes of the Three Majors, they could only see about 2400 warriors in front of them. This was because, before the confrontation, the Matriarch of the Razortails had directed the Mud Wyrms to move underground near the middle of the would-be battlefield to lie in wait. The Three Majors did not know about the Mud Wyrms because the spies they sent to infiltrate the Toxic Razortails were provided false information stating that only four families allied themselves with the Razortails.

The demonic beasts were all in their human forms because of the limited space in the forests. Although being in their Human Forms requires stamina, at the level they were in, such small levels of stamina consumption could be considered negligible. The commander of the Great Alliance was the Matriarch of the Toxic Razortails - Matriarch Sheila and the commander of the Three Majors turned out to be the rising young genius, Novile of the Sharpfangs. The commanders and their warriors glared at each other, sweat trickled from their backs. They silently dared each other to make the first move...after all, the group that makes the first move was usually considered to be at their most vulnerable state. This was because making the first move allowed the opposite side to observe and plan ahead in order to counteract their move. Finally, after ten or so long minutes, one side decided to attack first.

"Warriors! They are but weaklings! We have nothing to fear from them! Let us kill! Charge!" Novile roared as he raised his fist into the air.

"UUOOUUWWAAAA!!" Everyone in the Three Majors roared as they charged towards the Great Alliance.

"They're coming! Stay on your feet warriors! Long-range casters take aim. Steady...steady...steady.... Now Thunder Lizards! Paralyze them!" Matriarch Sheila issued.

All 350 Thunder Lizards fired their lightning attacks at the charging enemies. The lightning attacks smashed into the enemy ranks, paralyzing many and even wounding some. Most of the frontlines stopped in their tracks, causing those behind them to collide and collapse. As if rehearsed, Mud Wyrms immediately flew out from the ground and tore off chunks of enemy flesh. Some Mud Wyrms even managed to drag some of the more hapless demonic beasts into the ground, suffocating them and essentially burying them alive.

Even with the ambush, the Three Majors were quick to recover as they rapidly regroup and warded off the continuous assault. Seeing that there were only casualties of their own, the Mud Wyrms dove back into the ground to regroup and await for further instructions from their Patriarch. With the Mud Wyrms below ground and away from the battlefield, the Three Majors gradually moved towards the Great Alliance in loosely grouped wedge formations while paying some attention to the ground in order to prevent another ambush.

"They're coming! Fire Affinities, attack!" Matriarch Sheila commanded.

Every Fire Affinity warrior started shooting long-ranged fire attacks like Fireballs, Flame Arrows, Fire Waves, Flame Needles, Fire Bombs, Explosions, etc. The ensuing barrage of fire attacks smashed into the enemies. However, as if they were expecting it, the Fiery Boarheads rushed to the front and blocked the fire attacks. Because the Fiery Boarheads were considered the strongest in terms of fire-based abilities, they were naturally very resistant to them as well. Most of the fire attacks were blocked by the Fiery Boarheads, though some unlucky demonic beasts from behind were still hit by some stray attacks. Nevertheless, what was expected to be a great mass slaughter turned out to be only a few killings.

"Hmph! Have a taste of your own medicine!" Novile roared as he commanded the Fiery Boarheads to attack with fire as well.

Even more powerful fire-based attacks flew towards the armies of the Great Alliance. Most of the Fire Affinities tried to block the attacks, but because of the difference in power, the Fire Affinities were pushed back and some of the weaker ones were even injured. Most of the fire attacks weren't blocked as they flew into the midst of the Great Alliance. Chaos scattered the Great Alliance and caused mass panics. Matriarch Sheila tried her best to call for order. After some time, she was able to successfully gather the allied armies and regroup. There were some casualties and there were some deserters, however, most of the warriors stayed.

"Warriors! Now's the time! Charge!" Matriarch Sheila roared as she pounced forward towards a nearby enemy. All the other warriors also charged with her.

Seeing their opponents rushing towards them, the Three Majors charged as well. However, right before they made contact with the opposing side, they were ambushed once more by the Mud Wyrms. The Mud Wyrms, sensing the oncoming battle from the vibrations of the earth, emerged from the ground and attacked the Three Majors' armies...most of them had lowered their guards because they had forgotten about the Mud Wyrms. This attack caused some pause within the enemy ranks, slowing down their charge and lowering some morale. Not giving them any time to regroup, the armies of the rest of the Great Alliance arrived and crashed into them.

The two sides clashed and immediately there were tens of victims. The Fiery Boarheads were tough and strong with abnormal senses...a natural enemy to the Deerkin and Mud Wyrms. The Sharpfangs were fast and ferocious with some resistance to poison...a natural enemy to the Toxic Razortails and Pincherheads. The Deathblooms...well, they could fly which gave them some advantages over those who couldn't. Vice versa, the Thunder Lizards have lightning-based area attacks as well as lightning-imbued normal attacks which proved to be devastating to their enemies. The damage and paralyzing effects of the lightning attacks serve to be the worst for enemies like the Sharpfangs who depended on their speed and the Deathblooms who depended on their flight advantage. In addition, the powerful offensive capabilities of the Fiercejaws and the lethal poison of the Toxic Razortails, when combined, serve to counteract the defenses of the Fiery Boarheads. The Deerkin heals most of the injuries that the Great Alliance received while the Three Majors did not have any healers on their side. Overall, the battle was stalemated and would continue so unless some deciding factors were to occur.

And those deciding factors appeared in a timely manner. Seeing the stalemated situation, Matriarch Sheila and the Patriarch of the Fiercejaws both changed into their Giant Beast Forms. As Giant Beasts, their capabilities increased by ten-fold compared to their Human Forms. Matriarch Sheila immediately spat out a powerful and lethal Acid Wave at a group of Fiery Boarheads and Sharpfangs. The slower ones to react to this attack died immediately...but those Sharpfangs who were quick enough dodged the brunt of the attack and only suffered some minor burns and dizziness. As for the Fiery Boarheads who were quick to react, they immediately activated their Flame Body and engulfed themselves in fire. The flames quickly burned the acid to harmlessness. However, their Flame Bodies lacked their initial defenses and were weak to any powerful physical attacks. That's where the Patriarch of the Fiercejaws came in. The Patriarch charged forward and crushed the Flame-Bodied Fiery Boarheads, killing them.

However, the two leaders of their respective families were only able to attack once as the Patriarchs of the Three Majors and Novile all changed into their Giant Beast Forms. As according to the domino effect, seeing some of their powerhouses change into Giant Beast Forms, the other strong demonic beasts also changed into their Giant Beast Forms. Finally, there were over 300 Giant Beasts scattered amongst the armies. It seemed that the height of the battle was about to begin.
