Chapter 253: Drakzen’s Plan
Our battle against Drakzen continued for a while as Nessa, Melina, and I were focused on him while the rest of our group fought Salamandra.
The devil wasn’t using his full power against us, which deterred me from using my full strength.
I knew that devils had different forms that they would transform whenever they needed more power.
It happened with both Armaros and Zagor, who suddenly revealed their final forms when they realized they couldn’t beat me without it. However, Drakzen maintained his human form the entire time.
I didn’t want to use my awakening unless Drakzen transformed, and I had a good reason for it.
If I were to awaken and fail to kill the devil in that short amount of time, it would pretty much leave me out of the fight.
Awakening used all of my MP and would always leave me feeling exhausted and useless for a bit, so I had to save it as a last-resort option.
During the encounter, Melina and I drank at least ten MP potions each as we fought for literal hours, so we had to replenish our energy periodically.
We weren’t using any spells that would take a lot of our MP reserve, but after casting them for hours, they stacked up.
Thankfully, Nessa was there to cover us any time we drank a potion, and her physical attacks felt much stronger than ever before.
Obviously, it had to do with the fact that she wasn’t holding back her demonic energy, but at that moment, she was definitely the strongest person I had ever seen, at least in terms of raw physical strength.
