'Concentrate, Mavis.'

It was true that the speed of that arrow was very fast, but it was not so fast that she could not stop it.

Squinting her eyes, Mavis extended one arm forward.

Preparing to grab this arrow at any moment.

At the same time, all of her senses were pushed to the maximum.

Concentration and reflexes were necessary.

'100 meters left…'

That arrow still hadn't slowed down.

'50 meters left…'

It was still the same, very fast.

'10 meters left…'

For some reason, this arrow still hadn't slowed down, on the contrary, its speed had been very stable from the beginning until now.

How strange.

Normally, no matter what it was, when it was launched, it would decelerate.

But, this arrow was not like that.

It was unusual.

Nonetheless, now was not the time for Mavis to think about that.

'Right now!'

Her eyes widened, and then, without hesitation, Mavis grabbed the arrow with her bare hands.

But, something unpredictable happened.

Whoosh!

The moment her hand was about to grab the invisible arrow, suddenly, its speed rocketed.

It increased at a dizzying speed.

It was as if it had gone from the speed of a bullet to the speed of a rocket.

"…!"

As a result, her pupils contracted, completely unable to predict this scenario would happen.

And since it was impossible to predict, of course…

Boom!

That invisible arrow pierced Mavis's head.

And then, an explosion occurred.

Smoke began to rise.

No one knew whether Mavis was dead or not.

Meanwhile, on the ground, Astral was looking at her own work.

A smile appeared on the lips of the beautiful demon.

"Hm?"

But then, suddenly, Astral frowned slightly, that smile also faded away.

Whoosh!

Because the next moment, from within that smoke, something rushed out at an unimaginable speed.

Even faster than the speed of light, the speed of sound.

"Oh my…"

Astral didn't know what that thing was.

However, she knew very well that she was in danger.

Because that thing was rushing straight towards where Astral was standing.

As a demon who specialized in using her own killing intent to attack, she was naturally very sensitive to killing intent.

"...This situation… is bad…"

Astral could sense the killing intent from far away.

But, this time, even if the demon sensed it, she wouldn't be able to dodge it.

Boom!

Astral could feel that her face was suffering from a dreadful pain.

She was punched.

And the force of this punch… was not normal at all.

It didn't belong to a human.

It couldn't possibly belong to a demon either.

"...Cough."

Coughing out a mouthful of blood, Astral was sent flying by a punch that was at least 10 kilometers away.

On the demon's flight path, everything that got in its way was destroyed.

From the ground, to the rocks, to the trees, to the grass, to the bushes, …

Everything.

Leaving nothing out.

Boom!

Astral only stopped when she was slammed into a rocky mountain, otherwise, she would probably still be on her way to the nearest city.

"...It hurts…"

Groaning, the demon slowly stood up, wiping away the blood from the corner of her lips.

She looked so calm, as if she wasn't in any pain.

Astral's body still looked perfect.

Aside from a few scratches on her fur coat, her body was completely unharmed.

However, her face was a different story.

Just now, Astral had been punched in the face.

By a punch that could easily flatten a mountain.

"It's a miracle I'm not dead."

But in return, her face was completely distorted.

It became like that of an ugly, disgusting monster.

"I don't know whether to be happy or sad…"

Astral muttered to herself, then gently adjusted her face, returning it to its original beauty.

"But maybe I should be happy."

Once again, the corners of the demon's lips curled up slightly.

Whoosh!

But very quickly, it was forced to die down when Mavis once again closed in on Astral within inches without making any noise.

"Don't laugh so soon, you demon."

Mavis stomped on the demon's foot, not giving her a chance to move or escape.

To put it simply, she had locked Astral down.

"The fun isn't over yet."

With a sinister smile, Mavis slowly cracked her knuckles.

Crack!

Perhaps she had been corrupted by Kael.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Taking a deep breath, Mavis's eyes flashed with cruelty.

"Um… Can we negotiate?"

Astral asked, still smiling slightly.

It seemed like she didn't know that she was about to experience a nightmare.

Or maybe she realized it, but didn't care.

"The answer is no."

Leaving behind a single sentence, Mavis began her torture.

She clenched her fists, and without wasting a second, continuously launched punches strong enough to destroy an entire village onto Astral's maiden body.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The explosions continued to ring out.

But, it did not stop or slow down.

On the contrary, it became faster, and became more rhythmic.

Obviously, because of this, Astral's body was covered in bruises.

A lot.

The demon's fur coat had also been completely torn into thousands of different pieces.

At this moment, she was completely naked.

But, Mavis still did not stop.

"100 punches…"

Still not enough.

"1000 punches…"

Continue.

"5000 punches…"

Faster.

"10000 punches…"

Mavis still showed no signs of stopping.

On the contrary, her punches became more violent and ferocious.

Astral had become like a punching bag.

Only able to let others punch her, completely unable to resist at all.

"…You… are really strange, Astral."

From the beginning until now, the demon had endured more than 10,000 punches with the same force from Mavis.

If it was a normal person… no, even a very strong demon would have died at this moment.

But, Astral was different.

It was true that her body had appeared many bruises, many wounds.

"But, you still haven't died."

And worse…

"You haven't screamed even once."

"Is that… strange?"

Astral, despite being punched repeatedly, was still able to ask back normally, with a very calm expression.

It was as if nothing was happening to her.

"Maybe this torture must come to an end."

Mavis wasn't a fool, thus, she easily realized that nothing would change if this continued.

She removed her foot that was stepping on the demon's foot.

And then, Mavis put all her strength into her final punch.

Boom!

Once again, Astral slammed hard into the rocky mountain behind her.

But, just like last time, the demon was still unmoved.

Gently, Astral stood up from the rubble, and walked out of the dust and smoke that mixed together.

"I… just don't feel any pain."
