Chapter 146: Burn Yourself Out
Leo ignored the agony and slamming his fist into the creature’s chest while letting out a defiant roar that was disastrous. An explosion erupted from the point of contact, a brilliant light that consumed everything in its path.
The devil let out one final, guttural scream while wildly slicing Leo’s body before being reduced to ash, the remnants scattering in the wind. He stood amidst the carnage trembling from the strain, blood dripping down his face as he collapsed to his knees.
His vision swam, and the world around him seemed to tilt. But his heart still pounded, his fight not yet over as the pain was overwhelming every sense. Astra and Veladra rushed to his side, eyes wide with shock and concern.
’’Leo...’’ the red-skinned woman whispered, her voice shaky as she knelt beside him.
Blood poured out of his body as the sound of the women’s voices faded just Astra took control, ’’Vel! Drag him back to the cave while I cover us. I have some mana left.’’
When Leo heard this, he reached out and grabbed the Demon Queen’s hand before sending a stream of mana into her body. This made her shiver all over as she protested, ’’Don’t do that idiot! You’re dying and can’t afford to waste energy.’’
Following that, explosions rang out as she kept the dungeon monsters away from Veladra with a fierce roar as her magic was killing countless enemies with ease, but she was burning through mana quickly.
’I won’t last much longer!’ she internally panicked but calmed down when a stream of pure mana flowed into her once again.
Astra spun around, her heart skipping a beat when her gaze met Leo’s faint, knowing smile. Worry flickered across her face, but she forced herself to push it aside. There was no time to hesitate.
The air filled with guttural snarls as a swarm of strange humanoid creatures hurtled toward Veladra. Without hesitation, the demoness raised her hand, summoning a towering wall of searing fire that cut the attackers off in an instant.
Astra surged forward, the ground beneath her trembling as she used the Hellfire Family’s secret spell. Crimson flames erupted around her, coiling like living serpents and infusing her with raw, blistering power.
