Chapter 162: Promises Made
As my battle with Zagor heated up, the hall of the castle had been almost entirely destroyed, and parts of it were crumbling down around us, with each of our attacks creating a wave of energy that shook the building.
The hall wasn’t completely connected to the rest of the castle, as it was separated by different gardens that led to the other rooms.
At one point, I covered my bo in flames and noticed that my fire magic felt different, resembling that of Acalan’s.
’Is this... phoenix fire?’ I pondered as I looked at my own power.
Letting out a torrent of flames that shot straight at Zagor, the entire hall was covered in a blaze, but the devil increased the energy around him so potently and so quickly that it all dispersed and shattered the ceiling of the hall.
The room started crumbling down as the few columns standing couldn’t support the weight of the building anymore, so I avoided the falling debris while also attacking Zagor simultaneously.
Suddenly, I took a wrong step trying to avoid one of the falling pieces from the ceiling and found myself right next to Zagor, who hit me on the ribs with his morning star and sent me flying out of the hall into one of the castle’s gardens.
I could feel like the strike had broken one or two of my ribs, and blood was coming out of the holes from the spikes that hit the side of my torso.
However, the adrenaline allowed me to quickly stand up and protect myself from his following attack.
