I don't want to be an elf!

After a few breaths, the spiritual energy gathered on the arrow finally reached its peak.

"Tear it apart, Hurricane Knight Skyrunner!"

The eight sisters shouted and simultaneously released their grip.

The arrow, imbued with immense wind energy, shot out instantly, colliding with the steel torrent unleashed by the spear demon, tearing it apart with overwhelming force.

Sensing the rapidly approaching aura of destruction, the Gun Demon roared for the first time since its appearance.

But even with increased output, the arrows, gleaming with a cold light, still hurtled straight toward it.

"boom------!"

Driven by instinct, the Gun Demon gathered all the guns on his body in front of him at the last moment, forming a shield.

Even so, the arrow only paused for a moment.

When the shield was broken, the arrow pierced the chest of the spear demon, destroying most of its body.

But it still stood there.

It was originally a corpse forcibly assembled by a contract, so even if most of it was destroyed, it would still not die.

The Gun Demon raised its last, barely usable gun and aimed it at the Yamai sisters once more.

"How pitiful, to still be alive even after reaching this stage."

Yagyuuya showed a look of pity.

Then, with a flick of her finger, the arrow that had been shot returned to her hand.

"But it doesn't matter."

With bows drawn and arrows nocked, terrifying power once again gathered atop the Sky Racer.

"The second arrow will surely slay you!"

Chapter Fifty-Two: Betrayal

The US president stared at the images playing on the screen, his expression somber.

Through satellite images, everything happening on the Japanese coast at that moment was simultaneously transmitted to his eyes.

But all he could do was watch.

He had no control over what was happening on the other side of the ocean.

When he saw the Wind Demon reduce humanity's last and strongest trump card to near death with a single blow, his clenched fists slowly loosened.

When he saw the second arrow that followed completely destroy the Demon of the Gun, the last glimmer of light in his eyes disappeared.

The forcibly pieced-together body of the gun demon, along with the rebellious spirit of the American president, fell apart.

A bitter smile appeared on the lips of the US president.

Although the summoned Gun Demon was not its complete form, but merely a fake body composed of 20% of its original body's flesh, the fear of it among humans over the past decade or so has not diminished but rather deepened due to the massacres it caused and the continuous shooting incidents.

Even with only 20% flesh, this fake body's power is not much less than that of the Gun Demon when it first appeared in the human world.

Even if we can't kill Machima, we can at least weaken her and her forces by more than half, right?

What the US president did not expect was that this most evil and powerful demon in human history could not even withstand two moves from the Wind Demon.

Not a single ordinary civilian died; they were utterly crushed.

"Ugh......"

The heavy feeling of depression turned into a long sigh, and the American president's energy gradually weakened with that sigh.

The last nation willing to fight for freedom has also lost the power to resist.

No one in this world can stop Machima now.

Humanity is about to face the worst peace imaginable.

But just as the US president was about to cut off the satellite audio and video, a disturbance appeared in the footage.

The US president was taken aback, then quickly zoomed in on one of the areas.

When he realized what had happened, the light that had been extinguished in his eyes shone again.

Perhaps... perhaps there is still a chance for the future of this world.

"Congratulations on defeating the Demon of the Gun and becoming the strongest being in the human world."

Smiling, Machima greeted the Yamai sisters who had come from across the sea and asked, "How did you feel after fighting the legendary demon?"

"Absolutely terrible!"

Yamai Yagyuuya, with a long face and an expression of dissatisfaction, said, "Everyone says that the Demon of the Spear is so powerful and invincible, but it was severely injured after taking one of our arrows. It's nothing special!"

"Disappointing, this is not the battle that Yuzuru and Kaguya had imagined."

Although Yamai Yuzuru remained expressionless, the subtle difference between her brows revealed her current mood: "This is a battle devoid of beauty and passion, a mere outpouring of power, devoid of any clash of souls."

"It sounds regrettable... but in any case, thank you both for eliminating a major enemy for Japan."

Machima's expression remained unchanged, still bearing a faint smile: "In these two months, your achievements have even surpassed those of many demon hunters who have dedicated their entire lives to the Anti-Demon Class. I offer my sincerest gratitude to the two of you."

"You're welcome, it was nothing!"

"I decline. Yuzuru and Yagyuuya were simply doing what they wanted to do."

“Hehe, please don’t be modest, I’m telling the truth.” Machima’s smile seemed to widen even more. “Therefore, on behalf of the Japanese government and all members of the Anti-Demon Division, I would like to present you two with a gift.”

"A gift?" Yamai Yagyu asked curiously, "What gift?"

Machima held up one finger.

From her cherry-red lips, she slowly uttered a sentence.

"A battle worthy of your status."

Upon hearing this, the Yamai sisters were all taken aback.

However, Yuzuru Yamai was the first to react and instinctively wanted to get away.

But as Machima spoke, stone locks suddenly shot out from the ground beneath their feet, binding the feet of the Yamai sisters.

Immediately afterwards, two arrows flew from a distance, whistling through the air as they accurately struck the Yamai sisters.

"Ding-ding—!"

The shield blocked the arrows without causing any damage.

However, the Yamai sisters' expressions darkened.

"Machima, what do you mean by this?" Yagyuya Yamai demanded sharply, "Have you lost your mind? Why are you attacking us!"

“On the shore, that rat-like man should have told you everything about me by now,” Machima said calmly. “I’m sorry, although I really wanted to keep you here, your power is too great, even I cannot control it. I have no choice but to send you back to hell.”

This means they've chosen to completely break off relations.

Although the Yamai sisters knew this day would come, they didn't expect it to come so soon.

In fact, it wasn't them who took the initiative to break off relations, but Machima.

"Since you have made this choice, then there is no longer any affection or loyalty between us!"

The Piercer in Yamai Yakuya's hand erupted with intense spiritual energy fluctuations, stabbing towards Machima.

But Machima's figure suddenly disappeared before their eyes and appeared on a cliff not far away.

The spider demon activated its teleportation ability!

“Based on my observation, your power is not limitless either. After using your ultimate moves twice, you should have very little power left.” Machima clapped her hands. “Now, let them have some fun with you two.”

Soon, on the cliff, one after another, the controlled demon hunters and demons appeared from behind Machima and ran towards the Yamai sisters.

Among them, several weapon-like figures with heads shaped like various weapons were particularly noticeable running at the front.

The three familiar faces—the Bomb Demon, the Bow Demon, and the Sword Demon—are prominently featured.

But besides that, there are four weaponized people that the Yamai sisters have never seen before.

Clearly, these were all the resources that Makima had prepared to use against the Chainsaw Demon in the original story, but now they have been brought out ahead of time in order to deal with the Yamai sisters.

The Yamai sisters both showed a solemn expression.

But a sense of joy couldn't help but rise in my heart.

A single weaponized man poses no threat to them, and even if seven weaponized men attack together, they still cannot break through their defenses.

To them, these weaponized figures were nothing more than tools to advance the side quests.

The number of Weapon Men is small; so far, they have only defeated the Blade Demon and the Chainsaw Man.

Now that even more weaponized humans are appearing before them, they naturally have no reason not to take them.

"I defeated the Demon of the Gun, but no system notification appeared."

As they watched the hundreds of enemies approaching, the Yamai sisters' lips curled into a slight smile.

"But if we add the ability to control demons, the main quest should be able to be completed."

Chapter 53 Getting to the Root of the Problem

At this moment, most of the demon hunters belonging to the Japanese Anti-Demon Division appeared here.

Each of them had made a pact with at least one powerful demon, and led by the seven weaponized individuals, they charged towards the Yamai sisters like a suicide squad.

"Fox, tail!"

"You're the one I've chosen, Stone Demon!"

"Ghost demons, I'll trade my own arm for you! Seize them!"

Hundreds of demon hunters used their abilities on the Yamai sisters.

In an instant, all sorts of attacks came at the Yamai sisters, turning the beach into a complete battlefield.
