"You do not have to worry about the villagers or give them any of your attention because I won't be killing them," the demon informed.
"Not that I could even if I wanted to, or else I'm that fed up with living," he added. "Because Kiriza would never let that slide. They're his livestocks after all."
"So, instead of worrying about the villagers, whose lives are more assured than yours, I would—"
The demon's words were cut short as Seiya, with a single step forward, appeared before him. "Thank you for the information," Seiya whispered, then, with a swift strike, he swung his sword horizontally, slicing through the array of weapons and clipping a few strands of the demon's hair. The demon, quick to react, had dipped just in time to avoid the blade's full reach.
The weapons clattered to the ground, severed in half. The demon attempted to leap away, but Seiya, faster still, seized him by the neck with a firm grip, swept his legs from beneath him, and slammed him hard into the ground.
