Chapter 76: Moon Buff
As our first attack connected with the devil’s, a wave of energy surged from his body and pushed us away before launching himself at Valentina, who stood frozen with her sword on guard.
Her face showed fear, but her body stood tall, and her chin held high against the devil, slicing the air before her as she tried to hit the shadowy entity, but it was to no avail as Armaros appeared behind her.
"Another knight for my collection," he said with an evil grin that reached his ears.
Melina and I both tried casting a spell, but the chances that it would hit the commander were too high, and just as his energy began to seep into her body to possess her, someone appeared behind Armaros himself.
"Quite a sloppy job for a devil..." said Vespera as she used her spider legs to slap the devil away from Valentina into a wall.
From the dust that was raised in the impact, the maniacal laugh of the devil reverberated in the room. Suddenly, the possessed Garret began attacking me in a frenzy.
I deflected his attacks with my bo, but his dexterity had risen to a point where I couldn’t hold him down with my attacks unless I knocked him out completely.
On the other side, Vespera exchanged blows with Armaros, who had materialized a black sword in his hands and was parrying all of my companion’s attacks.
Simultaneously, Garret was brought to his knees by a heavy gravity spell that Melina had cast, giving me an opportunity to help out Vespera.
Tapping out from my fight with the commander, Valentina took my place as she fought with the possessed knight that had his inhumane movements seized by gravity.
In a quick succession of attacks between me and Vespera, she kept the devil’s arms busy as he protected himself from her spider legs, leaving an opening for me to slam his torso with my bo with all of my strength, pushing him onto another wall.
