Too Late
The arrival of Ryu caused many to freeze up. He seemingly appeared out of thin air and without even the slightest noise. In fact, many didn't even notice that he had arrived until several seconds had passed and only because of the reaction of others.
After a moment, their hearts skipped a beat when they came to recognize exactly who he was. They had all been there over a month ago when Ryu killed that member of the Demonic Flame Sect with just a single arrow.
Among this crowd, though, there were three who didn't react like this.
The first was, of course, Fairy Mae who maintained the same extremely cold expression she usually wore. She looked completely unlike the other members of her Sect who were all like succubi in human skin. There didn't seem to be anything "bewitching" about her until you took a closer look at her and felt your mind sinking into an endless depth.
