บท 268: Empress

A few moments prior.

Lily was flying on her phoenix as she chased after a demon she just spotted.

"?"

She made the phoenix do a backflip midair when she sensed another enemy ambushing them from below.

It was dark matter with the silhouette and appearance of a knight wielding a great sword.

Said knight had jumped up to them, attempting to pierce them from below.

"..."

Then, another one ambushed them from the left side by launching a lightning beam. And this time, it was a young woman with a large and pointy hat.

Like the knight, that woman was not a living being but a creature made out of dark matter.

"Did you think that I wouldn't notice you?"

Lily had lost sight of the demon when the knight previously attacked her, however, the demon then appeared before her.
