Mae-hwa had already seen enough.
"Something's wrong..." Erika muttered.
Mae-hwa's smile widened.
The instant Erika noticed that smile, every instinct in her body screamed that the situation had changed. Mae-hwa was no longer simply observing their movements or testing the strange technology and runes within their masks. Whatever she had wanted to learn from the White Wolf Division, she had learned it.
Erika immediately raised her weapon.
"UNIT, STEP BACK!"
The White Wolf soldiers reacted quickly, breaking Formation A and retreating from Mae-hwa. Most obeyed without hesitation, but several women were still burning with anger after watching their comrades manipulated and forced to attack one another. Instead of withdrawing with the others, they hesitated, unwilling to give the demon even a single step of ground.
That hesitation was enough.
Mae-hwa lifted her folding fan.
"Oh, my..."
She rotated her wrist.
