The Demon King Slayer and Holy Knight, Alphen Alphon. The Martial God, Lute Billian. The foolhardy king, Thousand-Annihilator Geist Ys. The Berserk Saintess who consumes the darkness, Kjera. One need only open a history book to be faced with the names of these heroes.
King of the Prisoners, the Sinner Lichta. The Master of the Dark Arts, Vector Sully. The Mercenary King of a warring land, Grico Spencer. The Villainous Youth, Dieze.

The Lightdevourer, Moumou Lee. The Earthsplitter, Vikeranda. The Nightruler, ■■■■■. Oro the Thirsty. These elite monsters were slew by heroes, but the marks of their terror endure long after their demise.

But of all these, the most famous title for this young lady may be the Merciless Maiden.
Her name will now forever be marked in the annals of history—a record dedicated to the elegant battles of the Merciless Maiden, befitting of a hero’s name.
