Clang! Sparks flew in all directions!
The swordsman's blade flashed at his waist and struck the object that was hurled at him, but before he could see who the attacker was, a hand was already clamped onto his face.

The Spirit Fox's hair stood on end, much like a frightened fox. She swore she had been vigilant all around, but still failed to notice when an extra person appeared before her.
"Demon King?"
She ventured cautiously.
