Before Bambietta could react, the man whose arm had been severed let out a miserable scream:
"Aah! My arm! My arm! You damned bastard! I'll kill you! I'll tie you to red-hot steel, peel your skin off bit by bit, then stuff it back into your stomach!"
The man's hysterical appearance made Bambietta, who was completely unable to resist at the moment, panic slightly. Tugging at Asano Kiyoshi's sleeve, she said softly:
"Let's run. There are too many of them. Our strength alone isn't enough..."

Whether it was their efficient execution in battle, their calmness before powerful foes,
