A guy that changes into a man-eating demon, huh. Well, it's not that different from the men back home for Paine. Roland might look fearsome in his demonic form, but he's still more of a poet than a warrior and while he's durable and has some spellcasting prowess, magic is not his true forte. In the end he's an ineffective fighter, little match for the seasoned Paine or the power of Dress Spheres. Whatever route Paine takes here, she has little to fear from Roland's assaults or any healing he might employ, smashing him with the disdain any true warrior has for an ineffectual sod like Roland.
