Annoyed at Veronica's grinning expression, Dev exerted great effort to wipe that irritating look at the ghoul's face. She kept chuckling, unable to contain herself.
"You had the opportunity to kill me, yet you did not end me. Now, I wonder why you would let that one chance slide."
Dev recalled the attack he did. When he vanished and appeared above the ghoul, the moment their eyes met and locked, Veronica's right tail immediately went into defense mode while the left tail that pierced through Dev's armor went into retaliation mode.
"She was able to act so quickly that I lost my chance of finishing her. Had I still gone for the kill, that tail of hers would have punched a hole through my chest."
