[The devil, in this case, has just risen to his feet. The blade does pierce his heart, as he makes no move to fight back. The truth is, he's rather stunned by how motivated Ichijou is. It's not often that a regular human can sustain injuries like this without dying. Far rarer were individuals who could continue to move like she did.

And so...he stands there, hair in a mess, impaled by his own sword as the girl collapses from her injuries. You've literally fulfilled that mantra in this case, Ichijou.]
