A shadow loomed overhead.
An enormous pressure bore down from all directions.
Dark and cold, it even smelled blood to the bookworm.
And anger.
It knew the other party was angry.
Because it had run away without permission.
Now the other party had caught up, and the wind pressure overhead grew stronger by the second.

There sat a demon with a white body and red markings.
