"Everyone, run!" Max shouted the moment the devil's body split apart and fell to the ground.
At his command, the group reacted instantly. With Max and Luna taking the lead, the others followed closely behind as they rushed forward in the direction Max was guiding them.
"They killed him!"
A furious roar echoed from behind.
The devils who had been closing in saw their comrade fall, and instead of hesitation, their rage only intensified. Their eyes burned with killing intent as they surged forward without pause.
"Chase them. Do not let them escape!"
The command rang out sharply, and the group of devils did not even spare a glance at the corpse left behind. Their focus remained entirely on Max and the others as they gave chase with relentless determination.
The distance between them began to shrink.
