An arrow zipped past Klaus's ear, forcing him to move aside as another flash streaked past him. He was up in the air, wielding twin sabers bathed in lightning and flames.
Opposite him stood a bushy-faced demon-man with a muscular physique, a scorpion-like tail, and armour that seemed to be made from fish scales—or so it appeared.
Klaus couldn't tell, mainly because he was under heavy barrages from the demon Manticore archer.
The demon had a pair of large horns and bird-like wings.
Its body seemed to be a grotesque amalgamation of different monsters. Klaus couldn't help but feel curious about what kind of creature a Manticore truly was.
Now, he was facing one—and struggling.
This was Klaus's third challenge and the ninth-strongest opponent he would face.
Of course, the demon was also an Ascendant Level expert, but a threat level ranked at SS low making him the least formidable of the opponents on Klaus's list.
