Back on the surface of Cruotis Prime, the two pairs of goddesses and demons left there found themselves facing seemingly endless waves of flying monsters.
Suddenly, the flying monsters stiffened and froze in mid-air before they began dropping to the ground like flies.
This didn't affect all of them, however, as the ones that fell were the bulk of their numbers, the weaker creatures that the two demons could wipe out by the hundreds with a single strike.
A considerable number of the stronger ones remained in the air, although their speed had clearly diminished.
Tens of thousands of undead monsters plummeted from above as the two pairs flew away to avoid being buried under the falling masses.
With the vast difference in power and speed between them, Alvey and McEnda carried Beatrix and Artemisia, respectively, and as they shot through the darkened sky, Beatrix suddenly muttered.
"I certainly wanted to be swept up in your arms, but these aren't the circumstances I had in mind…"
