"Oh?" The female demon said while looking at Ryan. "I didn't expect the human Baal mentioned would be this interesting. You look quite average, but your eyes… I like them."
Ryan didn't have time to concentrate on Power Shot, so the best way to cause damage was to rely on his magic weapons. He didn't have much time to train using all of them with wind magic and also use that magic to recover Ryan's mana with potions, but he will have to learn by trying now that it had come to this.
"I see, I see," The demon said. "After losing your parents, you learned that your best friend and fiancée had an affair. No wonder you are so conflicted inside. You can't bring yourself to trust others, but at the same time, you can't completely ignore them. It must be tough to try to honor the memories of others when your world is on the brink of annihilation, huh?"
Ryan bit his lips in annoyance,… to find another monster that could read his mind was so freaking annoying that he was having a hard time controlling his urges to punch the fucking demon. Even worse, it was a demon who liked to hear her own voice.
"Ah, such sweet despair!" The demon said. "It is so nice to see someone so conflicted struggling not to show how much in pain they are. It is even better to see all that energy being used in a battle that you cannot win alone. Still, you insist on rushing toward your death… Ah. What a pity… it looks like you are really seeking your death."
Ryan opened his eyes widely when he heard that. Was that true? He was doing something like that without even noticing? Or was that the words of a demon trying to make him lose his cool? Ryan couldn't tell…
"My name is Lilith, fourth general of Lucifer's army," Lilith stopped smiling and then faced Ryan with a serious expression. "I thought you would be a fine addition to my collection, but I am not interested in toys that already want to die before I start to playing with them."
Lilith… another name of a pretty known demon. It looked like things were bound to become worse while dealing with those unknown forces. Regardless, Ryan just learned what happened to the men who were captured. Judging by Lilith's words, they probably didn't have a nice time since her goal was to make them wish for their own deaths. Still… she couldn't have a collection of dead toys…
"I guess it makes sense, you are trying to find meaning in your life by helping others," Lilith said. "As much as you think it is annoying, you can't move on without trying to convince yourself that you are doing something meaningful… what a complicated man you are."
"… For a demon, you sure talk a lot," Ryan said and then fired dozens of Flame Arrows.
Ryan went all out, but his projectiles stopped in front of Lilith when she raised her right hand. As if that wasn't enough, all his Flame Arrows became a single arrow, and then the projectile turned in his direction. Ryan had planned to reach that level of control over the enemies' spell, but it was quite shocking to see what he wanted to achieve being used against him.
