Three people walked over to the empty long table, nodded in greeting to the unsmiling Arrow Demon sitting nearby, and then took their seats. Solheim pulled out a Magic Staff with a Ruby embedded at the top, then widened his massive maw and engulfed the entire head of the staff in his mouth.
The sight was truly horrifying, not just for the Dwarf and the Elves, but Lancelot was also startled. Although the Serpent Demon had a head resembling that of a humanoid female, it became something entirely different when it opened its mouth—it's not every day you see someone whose mouth can stretch wider than their head, swallowing an object thicker than their own neck.
The Six-Armed Serpent Demon quickly retrieved the Magic Staff, with the Ruby on its head now shining very brightly, like a magical torch that had been lit. She then tapped the Magic Staff on the Magic Formation in the center of the room, causing the lines on the ground to light up instantly, emitting a deep red glow like blood.
