Frieren paid no attention to the "Executioner," Aura, who had finished teasing her and was now watching her from afar with a sinister look. She simply kept concentrating on fighting the headless knights.
Boom—!
Then, with a casual flick, she cast a demon-slaying spell and instantly vaporized several headless knights charging at her in a line from the side.
