The immense, lusterless light unleashed by Koai was faintly fading away...

Simultaneously, everyone's eyes began to slowly adjust to the brilliance.

That bursting sensation... I probably managed to kill at least one of them.

The eyes of those who had adjusted to the intensity of the light began to take in their surroundings.
But even before that, the sound of numerous horse hooves began to echo.

"There she is, don't let her escape! She's exhausted!"
"Lady Araia is right behind us! Stall the Demon Lord, even for a moment!"

"To die and go to Lady Miria's side is far superior to living in shame as a beast!"

Worthless, disgusting, trivial voices...

Finding the shouts mixed in with the galloping of the cavalry annoying, Koai sensed a sticky, thick, and dense presence of magical power up ahead.

Magical power... Come to think of it, what happened to the dispersal of magic from before?

"Sen...pai...?"
A man's weak voice was heard, and Koai turned her gaze in that direction. The man was uninjured, sitting dumbfounded where he had fallen on his rear.
At the end of the man's gaze, a woman lay fallen... and on her body, something that should have been there was missing.
