It didn't matter whether they were high-ranking or low-ranking demons; in the end, the fate that awaited them would remain the same. The pungent smell of warm and freshly splattered blood spread all over the place.

Astaroth, who faintly sensed his impending death, slowly opened his eyes, wondering why he was still conscious.

Super Ribbon’s blade didn't pierce through his neck but rather the chest of a woman who suddenly appeared, blocking the sword's path.
