"Truly filthy."
"Why had something like this happened?"
The demon, weeping tears of blood, glared furiously ahead.
She acted, advanced, and killed based on instinctive thought—yet they had actually sent forces to resist her?
How absurd.
Truly disgusting.
"How utterly unnecessary."
"Or perhaps—my existence has frightened you?"
The warriors of Tajima Province cut down the abominations controlled by Archer Inferno, and they also noticed Archer Inferno standing atop a height, seemingly troubled by something.
"You—are you the ringleader controlling these monsters!?"
A warrior of Tajima Province roared in fury.
Archer Inferno suddenly smiled, a terrifying smile.
"Yes."
"Precisely."
The warrior of Tajima Province raised his blade and slew another abomination, then glared furiously at Archer Inferno.
"At this point, it is no longer a matter of having you surrender to atone for your sins—I must—"
"Wow, how frightening."
Archer Inferno interrupted the warrior before her with a bored expression.
But as though she had recalled something, her expression became frightening once more.
"Ah, right."
"This world is hell, and you are so frightening. Since you are so frightening, then you—you must be a jailer, mustn't you?"
"How truly—frightening. How truly detestable!"
Her expression grew increasingly vicious, and the flames winding around her began to roar as well.
"W-What nonsense!"
The warrior clearly felt a trace of pressure, but unwilling to retreat, he could only take a step forward and roar.
"We are those who protect peace throughout the land! You are the demoness who recklessly disturbs the world's tranquility—watch as I—slay you!"
With that, the warrior shouted angrily and swung his uchigatana at Archer Inferno's neck.
However—
Clang!
The demon's neck was as if forged from steel. With the sword in the warrior's hand, he simply could not—
"How frightening."
Unlike last time, Archer Inferno truly meant it this time.
