The demon standing in the center had dark gray skin, but apart from that, his appearance was almost identical to a human's.
Two black horns curved upward from his forehead, and his crimson eyes carried a cold, emotionless gaze.
A spear held in his right hand. A faint smile appeared on his face.
"Hello there..." he said calmly. "My name is Botis."
Damien tightened his grip around his sword. "Where is Ken?"
Noah glanced at him in surprise. "Ken? Was he with you?"
Damien nodded without taking his eyes off the demons.
"Yes. We met during the exam. He tried to get away from me, but we ran into these demons."
Botis chuckled softly.
"Oh? Your friend?" He shrugged. "He slipped away... leaving you behind."
He put pressure on his leg, ready to attack at students, but just then.
Click.
The crisp sound of a sword sliding back into its scabbard echoed through the forest.
Botis's expression changed instantly. His instincts screamed.
