Alice Meets the Demons

On the night of Alice's disappearance, Nihilor took the unconscious woman to Highpoint Town on the outskirts of Novis.

When the dark-haired detective opened her eyes, she found herself tied up and carried by Nihilor's tail.

'Ugh… What happened…?' Alice thought.

'I shot at the monster and then…' she continued pondering, halting herself as she spotted her surroundings.

Nihilor was walking on a dark street towards a plaza, where a group of hooded men were chanting unrecognizable words around a pentagram on the floor.

As Alice's gaze swept over the plaza, she couldn't help but shudder. The scene was populated with demons who had skinny figures, long horns, and obsidian skin—reminiscent of the fiend that Dante had vanquished in the depths of the sewers.

Gazing to her other side, she spotted a couple of ashen-skinned demons, with half of their bodies merging into the shadows in the ground.
