The claw sliced through half of the carriage in one fell swoop.
Ella wrapped her head and bowed her body.
It was the best she could do.
Shards rained down over her head.
But the expected onslaught from the demon did not come.
She gently opened her eyes and looked up.
Something was blocking the demon's claws.
"Oh."
Confirming what it was, she exclaimed.
A gray stone protruded from the carriage trunk.
It was once a person.
Marisa.
A member who once challenged Wonderstein and turned into stone.
Ella had pleaded with him several times to return her to her original state, but Wonderstein repeatedly refused her plea.
Even before leaving Luz, he gave the same answer.
What nonsense to think people can change.
His kindness was merely for his own purposes.
He showed no mercy to those who might hinder him.
"A fairy turned into stone… interesting."
