They were frozen in shock when the Devil suddenly called their names and acted like he knew them completely well the way he spoke. They were taken aback, and their mind refused to work for a second as they finally grasped the Devil's last sentence.

"Absolute Defense."
A barrier filled with a mixture of earth and light materialized from his body, bloating until even his group members were covered. It took less than a second, even before the wall, glimmering towards their direction in each second, failed to reach them.
"That was dangerous…" heaved a sigh of relief to the person who protected his group.
"W-What was that?" stuttered the girl with an innocent voice while her body quivered in terror.
