Silent Blade

"Human... What are you doing?"

While Ian and Ignysyl finally dealt with the impending danger— or rather, as it vanished on its own— Carl, on the other hand, was occupied with the demon that inexplicably escaped the closing portal due to Ian's heavy smack.

Unfortunately, after all the initial struggles and the powerful blow to its head, the demon was already too weak.

Before it could even collect itself, another human appeared out of nowhere, intent on killing it.

Although the demon reacted in time, Carl was prepared for an ambush. So, it was no match and was quickly subdued without even a proper fight.

He was truly an unlucky fellow.

"Hah... finally... Almost lost my ingredient because of that stupid old man. Fortunately, all turned out for the best."

Carl breathed heavily with a smile and didn't care about the demon's terrifying expression, as it was already too feeble to resist.
