Especially with Iki Hiyori's living soul and Asou Yuna's double-layered allure, a monster resembling a giant centipede had quietly crawled near Seele and the others.
Perhaps it had intended to launch a sneak attack, but before it could prepare, an arrow carrying spiritual power pierced straight through its body.
