Ed tried to pierce his sword to the brick wall when a whip coiled around his wrist and pulled him away. Hope stepped in front of them, keeping guard from Under Vassal who had a mask with a cat-like design on.
"So, these are the Terrans," he said. "I wonder if one of you would match my strength. I am, after all, the strongest Under Vassal, Harley the Pathmaker."
"Nice to meet you, Harley," Ed smirked and grabbed the whip. "But I gotta say goodbye soon. Nullify!"
The whip turned to nothingness, surprising even Harley himself. The demon, who was still standing on top of the mountain of dead bodies, tilted his head to the side.
"This is interesting," Harley said. "As you all know, I can alter any path. Be it a road, a hallway, even stepping stones. Thus, I already blocked the path to the chamber where the flame gems lie."
"He knows why we're here," Hope gulped. "He must've been the guard to the gems. And we can't seem to just attack him aimlessly."
