When at his lowest, Demonmir seized the opportunity, observing Eliza's momentary distraction upon Eren's achievement of Grandmaster Rank.
Always cunning, Demonmir aimed to launch a sneak attack on the Witch of the Enderflames while she seemed to have her attention divided to deal a devastating blow.
