Ishira

Ishi slowly guided Yue and Sandra out of the jungle and onto the new continent. He kept watching Yue, looking as if he really missed her. They paused for a while before reaching their destination.

Finally, Yue had arrived. It had been a tiring journey, taking two weeks, and she could finally feel the comfort of a bedroom.

Sandra remained silent.

Yue, worried about her, asked, "Why are you so quiet, Sandra? Do you have a problem?"

Sandra replied, "No, I'm just a bit tired."

Yue knew Sandra was lying and pressured her to tell the truth.

"I'm worried about Simon and the team. They blocked the monsters for us. In the morning, Simon explained everything to me."

Yue, lost in thought, exclaimed, "I thought they had everything under control! Why didn't you tell me?!"

Yue shouted and called for Number 5, but Ishi ignored her. He had promised to stay with her and Sandra and protect them.

Suddenly, Yue broke down crying and pleaded with him to bring the others back, but there was still no answer.

Sandra tried to comfort her with a hug. "It's okay, Yue. That's their responsibility as mercenaries. We need to protect you at all costs."

In a moment of desperation, Yue grabbed the sword from Sandra's pocket, intending to harm herself if Number 5 didn't appear. In an instant, Ishi came and held her hand, snatching the sword away with incredible speed—so fast that even Sandra didn't notice.

Yue begged him to bring back the whole team, threatening to take her own life if not. Ishi's heart was touched; he wiped Yue's tears and signaled that he would bring them back before disappearing.

Meanwhile

Simon and the entire team succeeded in killing all the monsters.

Suddenly, a demon puppeteer rise from his seat and said, "What a show! You guys are really awesome. It makes me want to kill you slowly."

In a flash, Miki rushed from behind and attacked him with a punch, but the high demon easily caught her fist.

"What are you doing?" it taunted, then punched Miki in the stomach, sending his flying.

The demon rushed toward Stella, who was far behind, and grabbed her by the neck. "What a delightful sight; you look tasty," the demon said as it licked Stella's face. Stella struggled to free herself but was powerless.

Suddenly, a bullet struck the high demon in the head, causing it to release Stella.

Simon commented mockingly, "What a joke I didn't even need to break a sweat."

The high demon fell to the ground just as they took Stella away, thinking they had achieved victory. But it was just a puppet, and the real one laughed at them from the side, using its power to launch an attack.

Rough raised his shield, but it shattered under the demon's assault.

"Wow, it looks like this tank can actually withstand my power. I think I'll need to use a bit more of my strength," the demon said, summoning three of its puppets to rush at them.

Simon attempted to shoot at them, but they were too fast. Miki got caught and was blown away, leaving her unconscious while Rough tried to shield Stella. The two puppets kept attacking, breaking Rough's ribs.

Stella tried to shoot at the puppets but only managed to hit one; the other kicked her in the stomach, causing her to vomit blood.

Simon shouted, "Hey, dog! This is my fight. Let's go one-on-one!"

The demon was clearly irritated by Simon's words. "You're making me want to kill you slowly," it said with a twisted smile.

The demon rushed at Simon, but Simon caught it effortlessly. "You think I won't fight you myself? It's easier to just shoot you," he retorted, aiming his gun at the demon's face.

The demon laughed. "You really think you're strong, huh?" Then, the puppeteer became furious and transformed into its final form.

"It's been a long time since I used this power," the demon boasted.

In the blink of an eye, it charged at Simon, landing a punch that pushed him back, but with holy power, he defended himself. Nevertheless, he was still pushed back and tried to shoot the demon, only to find his gun empty.

"It looks like I need to use my powers now," Simon declared, throwing down his gun and secretly unleashing his holy aura. He called the puppeteer to rush at him again.

With just one hand , he caught the demon, which summoned its puppets and launched thirty strikes against him, but Simon didn't feel anything. "Is this all you've got?" he taunted, holding the demon in place before kicking away.

Suddenly the demon consumed something, it began to grow dramatically larger. Its form swelled with dark energy, towering over Simon .

The final fight was about to begin .
