"Li!!!" Gloria screamed.

The impact of the blow had sunk him into a crater amid the dry roots on the ground.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA," the creature laughed frantically, the same metallic and agonizing laughter as before. The color of its red eyes intensified.

"Gloria, do you sense anything wrong with this demon?" Lisa asked, seemingly unaffected by the attack Jihan had received.

"What are you saying? Didn't you see what it did to Jihan?"

"It's okay... he promised."

The priestess's hands trembled, but her gaze remained steady.

"He is not that weak!"

The monster suddenly looked back, hearing something.
