Since Red Hook was draining the demonic energy from the room and the marble using the abilities of Bloodletter, the cage around the Blood Demon was also gradually weakening. But it didn't look as if it would be weak enough for him to escape anytime soon.
"You know you'll have to save me if that guy slips out of his cage, right?"
Red Hook looked at Toz in surprise.
"Huh? Really?"
"Yep. I was worried you wouldn't have understood that, and it seems I was right."
Toz grinned cheekily at how Red Hook's backfired.
"Tch."
Red Hook clicked her tongue and pressed the dagger closer to the red marble in an attempt to speed up the process. As she did so, the slightly curved blade shone with a red light, eerily similar to the sheen of glossy blood.
"Oh yeah, that's the good stuff!"
Toz looked with curiosity at the dagger's light and at Red Hook's exhilarated expression.
"What's going on?"
"Nothing much. The dagger just regained some of its former might."
