Meanwhile, Akiko and her samurai were searching for a way into the Abyss. Suddenly, a figure approached from within the demon lands.
Akiko raised her hand, signaling her warriors to retreat. "Everyone back away!"
The samurai nodded and stepped back cautiously.
Akiko stood still and watched the figure emerging from the barrier.
"I can smell a strong mana in here..." the female demon sneered, her voice dripping with disdain. She stood nearly two meters tall and wore a long robe that concealed her form.
Akiko raised two fingers and called out, "Kitsu!"
With a blinding flash, a white ten-tailed fox appeared, encircling Akiko protectively.
"Let me introduce myself. I am happy to be the Demon King's strongest demon... I have a name, Solvizath," she said.
Akiko focused her eyes on Solvizath, assessing the demon's threat level to ensure her samurai could safely pass through the barrier.
