Chapter 105: Unsealing
Enormous, pitch-black tree roots stood like a wall, rooted along the edge of the cavern and plunging into a shallow pool.
Above the roots, a strange black-and-red blade pierced the torso of a humanoid figure.

"Hey, hey, she's on a completely different level of looks from that Lesser Demon we encountered before. Are we really going to cripple this girl
