"Tch... What could possibly be so... remarkable... around here?"
W casually looked around, but her expression immediately froze.
All around her, at some point, figures clad in black armor and grotesque in appearance had filled the area.
Red flames rose from their hands. Just by looking, W could tell that those flames possessed considerable power.

A red light flashed atop the defensive device. One anti-projectile weapon installed on it
