"201!"

"207."

"202! 203!"

"208."

Numbers echoed through the dimly lit hallway, punctuated by the clashing of steel and the snarls of demonic monsters.

The two of them were battling with fierce determination that I was stunned by.

Screaming out numbers, it didn't take long for me to understand the numbers represented how many demonic monsters they had individually killed.

Both of them, Asano Ichiko and Diana, had their hair whipped around them, sweat poured down their foreheads, and their eyes fixated on their next targets.

I could see that both of them were pushing themselves to the limit.

Ichiko moved through the chaos with an almost balletic elegance, her borrowed monster-like sword cutting through the air, heads falling in its wake. Lava spells erupted from her mouth, turning her into a walking disaster — a living volcano.
