'Why can't I cut him?!'
Sato wore a grim expression as he fought intensely against Marcus.
Things had been seemingly going well from the start. The ambush he launched with his party members and his demon allies appeared to go off without a hitch.
He had opened up with his One-Stroke Kill, the attack skill that he had earned his epithet from.
Marcus' head looked to have been severed from his neck, but that had only been a ruse.
When Sato and his companions had approached what they assumed to be a dead body and the mysterious woman that had been accompanying Marcus, they thought that they were still in control.
However, things quickly took a turn for the worse.
The target that Sato thought he had eliminated rose back up and unleashed two powerful attack spells with almost no warning.
Along with his two party members, Sato managed to escape mostly unscathed but only one of the demons had survived the surprise attack.
