Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu.

The space trembled.

Between the windless cliffs, even the pebbles on the ground trembled from the intensity of the vibration.

It was undoubtedly the music coming from afar, radiating its influence on everyone present at this scene.

The demons consumed by desire were eager to rampage, while the humans, driven by the desire to live, felt their bodies stir with thoughts of fleeing this place.

Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu.

Yet, no one moved, for even now, they couldn't defy the overpowering presence of the one controlling this space.

Helkry.

Still, there was one who remained seated, watching this situation while resting his chin on his fist.

"I don't care."

A lazy demon who dismissed such an attitude as bothersome.

The demon turned his attention to the human, who resisted with determination.

The human, driven by sheer determination to overcome the demon Sloth, felt so bothered that it became a matter of life and death.

Phwoosh!

Such determination erupted with terrifying force from the ground, propelling his body forward like a phantom.

A ruthless charge with no consideration for aiming or changing direction.

Kwaaaah!!

The fierce attack pierced the cliff and caused cracks on the surface, but there was no sign of crushed flesh or blood.

The attack missed.

The target, unaware of my attack, stood there, unaffected.

Kwak!

Then, a second time, and if that didn't work, a hundred times or more.

Kwakang! Kwakang!

In the merciless turmoil raging between the cliffs, the human's breath hardened in an instant, not even considering the option of leaving.

"This lunatic...!"

"Being crazy is bothersome too."

Just passing by caused such a fierce shockwave that his clothes were torn apart.

Sloth, who had been gradually closing in with such chaos, collided with a boulder that collapsed in front of me.

"Fighting and talking, it's all too bothersome...!"

Debris scattered in all directions.

Rushing toward the human, who stood still in the midst of the scattered debris, Sloth's charge began to intensify, with the debris flying even faster.

However, in the process, a 'twang!' sound accompanied a sudden stop, and the view began to blur.

When he realized the shiver running through his body, Sloth's gaze reflexively turned to the spot he had just passed.

There, he saw a spear deeply embedded in the ground.

It was the result of someone who had failed to read its movement and had only roughly predicted its trajectory to set a trap in advance.

Kwadeuk!!

Taking advantage of his slowed speed, the man who summoned the spear struck wildly, causing blood to burst from various parts of his body.

There was no armor to protect his body.

With his sole advantage of speed now cut off, each precise attack targeting him was sufficiently threatening.
