The Demoness . . .

"Hmm . . . I know that I felt something strange . . ."

Brighid.

Brighid came into the light and walked towards me, hips swaying left and right before she stopped just inches from where I stood.

How long was she there? I didn't even notice her presence. 

"I thought I felt something in the air, but who knew that it was just the noob guy who's throwing out gil?"

There was no sign of ridicule in her voice nor from her serious face. It was like she was merely stating a fact.

I released a silent breath when I realized that she only came just now. Or else, she would have asked about Jorge.

"Is there something you want?" I asked her and tightened my grip around Lucy. 

Cold sweat ran at the spine on my back, for I knew I couldn't defeat the demoness right in front of me. Her ATP was way higher than mine, but I also wouldn't just go down without a fight.
