The holding of a battle simulation in the vicinity of the Demon Seal mountain range was a major shock to the bunch of youths.
Everybody knew the Demon Seal mountain range was the most dangerous location in the kingdom. A lingering power remained from the brutal ancient battle that occurred there centuries ago. That power seemed able to pass through time—all living creatures, even the fiercest demons, dared not enter the mountain range without good reason.
The Demon Seal mountain range was like a massive chasm, separating the human nations and the lands belonging to the demon clan. This was actually the prime spot for a demon to attack humans but that abominable ancient power kept them away. As a result, they had no choice but to take a roundabout route.
Although the forest was a distance away from the Demon Seal mountain range, it was nonetheless tainted with the mountain range's notoriety and was similarly feared.
