Chapter 344: Escape (1)
Mineah’s eyes widened as she stared at Devon slowly making himself stand upright again. Immediately, she knew that her time was up. There was no way that she’d be able to fight him off now. Not like this.
"Vulcan’s power is mine!" the demon king screamed. "You bjtch!"
Devon raised his arm to attack, to which she quickly responded by casting a divine barrier to protect herself, her husband, and her brother from the man’s assault.
"You all don’t deserve to live!"
His attack came hard and fast, and it took Mineah her all just to resist the wave of dark magic washing over her barrier. For a few seconds, she watched as her barrier buckled and shook, her reserves rapidly depleting as she waited anxiously for him to finish.
All the while, the flaming mist permeated the area after the divine dagger that pierced Nikolai’s heart slowly disappeared. The mist coalesced and hovered over Ezekiel’s body, seemingly waiting for something to happen before it eventually went into his brother’s body.
"No!" Devon growled, his voice fuming with anger. "It should’ve been mine!"
Again, Mineah felt a powerful spell crash against the barrier she created. Even before, she already felt cracks starting to form over their protection, but now, it was even worse as she did her best to hold on. Her body was simply not in the right shape to fight him right now. She still needed some time for her body to adjust to all of the empty space the chaos left in her reserves after it suddenly disappeared after her curse broke. She just couldn’t take the risk right now.
As such, she was left with no choice but to hope that Devon’s power ran out before her shield did. However, judging from the way his attack kept on coming, she couldn’t help but think that this might be where they would meet their end.
