The summoned heroes scrambled to regroup, their previous arrogance shattered in an instant. But before they could react—
BOOOOM!!!
Javier appeared in their midst, swinging Gloria's warhammer in a brutal arc. The weapon connected with full force, smashing into multiple heroes at once.
CRACK!
Their bodies were sent flying, crashing through burning debris, slamming into the broken remains of the village.
Kenjirou coughed blood, barely able to steady himself. The Archer Hero groaned, clutching her dislocated shoulder. The Tank Hero struggled to push himself up, his armor dented and cracked.
And then—
A trembling voice broke the chaos.
"P-Please… s-spare me… I-I'm a woman!"
Javier slowly turned his head. The Arcane Mage Hero, Emilia, had collapsed onto the ground. She trembled violently, her eyes filled with sheer terror.
Javier tilted his head slightly. His expression never changed. His voice—cold, devoid of emotion.
