Swarerock

"Kekeke, pitiful trash, beg for mercy, I shall grant you a swift demise." (Evilkinds language)

The Rogue Shadow Demon Swarerock, brimming with smug delight, slowly approached Tyler and Viviana. Unbeknownst to it, a Floating Crimson Sword had silently maneuvered behind the demon.

Tyler could see the sword, yet continued pleading for his life. Indeed, Tyler was merely pretending. From the moment Viviana decided to feign exhaustion of her magic energy to lure out the demon, Tyler had known her strategy through mind-reading. However, Viviana had initiated the act without consulting Tyler, intending to deceive him as well.

Tyler played along, pretending to be oblivious to Viviana's act while he put on an Oscar-worthy performance, begging Swarerock for mercy, all in preparation for the decisive strike to come.

In the blink of an eye, the Floating Crimson Sword accelerated, aimed straight at the demon's head. But suddenly, the demon vanished into thin air.
