After defeating the two most dangerous monsters in the demon army, the tide of the battle finally began to turn in our favor.
The dozens of remaining minotaurs were slowed down as they crossed over the corpses of the giant monsters, and, thanks to our individual strength, we were able to maintain the upper hand in the smaller skirmishes.
âJust a few more minutes, and this event will be overâ¦.â
As I carefully conserved the remaining half of my mana, systematically slaughtering the approaching minotaurs one by one, a demon with a distinctly humanoid shape and large wings appeared in the sky.
âSo, youâre the ones slowing down the cyclopes?â she sneered, hovering above us with massive bat-like wings and crimson hair fluttering in the wind.
âMaster Ethan, be careful. I believe this oneâs exceptionally strong.â
She was Noctis, one of the Four Demon Kings, later known as the âQueen of Wrath.â@@novelbin@@
âIndeed, her aura is quite something.â
âHmph, but you donât look that strong yourselves. How did you manage to bring down those cyclopes?â
ââ¦â¦.â
âWell, no matter. I donât really care to hear your answer anyway. I can guess what kind of inferior attacks your kind must have used.â
Hovering with a slow flap of her wings, Noctis looked down on us.
