"Then… you won't mind…?" The woman chuckled before pressing the shadows even further, but I remained calm with my deduction of the situation.
A few seconds passed, and then,
"Welp, it seems that didn't work," The woman burst out laughing before releasing my granddaughter from her grasp, several marks still plastered and nearly burnt into her skin.
"Clearly, your power here is weak… otherwise you would've taken my entire family hostage… but instead, using a defenseless little child," I sighed before getting up and walking over to my sweet little granddaughter.
I brought her to her feet and hugged her, and she then genuinely hugged me back.
"You are correct. I could only contract with your granddaughter when she was weak… but that doesn't mean I can't slaughter everybody here. Paimon was strong enough to fight you pre-evolution… so what makes you think I can't fight you post-evolution? Huh?"
