Chapter 535: Howgrey’s Strength
I jump backwards to dodge Beezlebub’s [Darkness Rain]. I’ve been relying on my stat advantage a lot, but jumping head-first into an attack like that would cost too much.
Suddenly, Howgrey disappears from the corner of my vision. He’s probably using my momentary lapse of focus on him to attack from a blind spot. He’s seriously making my size work against me.
“Guuh!”
Pain runs through my shoulder. But, at the same moment I become aware of Howgrey’s position, I feel him kicking off my back.
“What’s wrong!? If you aren’t going to do anything, you'll slowly be worn down, Irushia!”
Beelzebub has returned to his human form under the cover of his [Darkness Rain]. He’s chasing his own lights to dive down towards me.
I glance at Lilixira. She’s holding her staff ready and seems to be waiting for an opportunity. She’s fighting rather passively, but Beelzebub’s actions seem far too intelligent. I don’t know if it’s an effect of [Spirit Servant] or simply using [Telepathy], but it’s clear that she's is supplying him with detailed instructions.
Suddenly, Lilixira’s aim shifts away from me. Thinking there's no way, I expand the range of my [Presence Perception] which I had only been using to track Howgrey.
In the direction of Lilixira’s staff, high in the sky, the black lizard’s bat-like wings are spread wide. Volk is riding on her back.
