Chapter 254: Legendary Evolution (Part 1)
When Ichiro’s group split up to take on both Drakzen and Salamandra, they weren’t expecting the encounter to last as long as it did.
The maids didn’t have a problem catching up with the Accursed Beast when it came to speed, but their power wasn’t enough to do any significant damage to him.
Yoru was on the same boat. Although his blinding rage for Salamandra gave him enough strength for his attacks to affect the beast, the moonwolf was also receiving a ton of damage in return.
Vespera, on the other hand, was on par with Salamandra’s strength. Even though she hadn’t used her powers to their full extent, she was the one giving their opponent the most trouble.
After receiving a kick from the Queen Demon Spider that drew blood from his mouth, Salamandra started to get frustrated.
He couldn’t understand why Vespera was so much more powerful than him.
’I’m an Accursed Beast! I should be the one making her submit to me!’ he thought.
Still delving into his delusions, Vespera used that moment to bring out her spider legs from her back and tried stabbing Salamandra. Nonetheless, his rage and frustration made him act quickly and block her offensive.
The maids’ mithril weapons weren’t working for them, as Salamandra’s fire used demonic energy and not MP, so it was ineffective whenever they tried to protect themselves from the flames with them.
Luckily, they both had adamantite weapons they could use and infuse with their magic, allowing their attacks to damage the beast slightly. Still, their moves were not even close to Vespera’s level.
At one point, two figures emerged from Salamandra’s shadow, which the group instantly recognized as greater demons.
