Chapter 313: The Devil, Vyrazul
While Yoru and Minotaur kept fighting like crazed beasts around the palace, destroying everything around them, I found myself face-to-face with Vyrazul for the first time.
It would have been almost impossible for her not to notice the absolute mess we were causing, but I didn’t feel too nervous about it now that all of the prisoners in the palace were safe.
Vyrazul looked like a beautiful woman who could have easily been a super-model in my past world, but I knew that her powers were meant to shift her appearance to make her look like that.
Her hold of Sinoc’s shoulder made his demonic energy go down in intensity, but her own aura kept increasing in magnitude, giving me goosebumps as I felt a malicious energy enveloping the entirety of the palace’s grounds.
"So, you are Vyrazul..." I muttered, clenching my bo tightly.
"And you must be Ichiro..." she replied.
"Am I famous?" I asked, taking off my mask as it didn’t seem necessary anymore.
I supposed she didn’t like my cheeky question since she answered by shooting three giant shadow waves in the shape of an arch that sliced the ground. However, I was ready for her attacks and managed to avoid them without a problem.
"Oh, you have a short temper, huh?" I commented, releasing a phoenix-fire ball at the location where Vyrazul and Sinoc were standing.
Nonetheless, even though the projectile exploded, the devil and the mage moved away in time before it could hit them.
We were standing on one of the rooftops that hadn’t caught on fire, and Sinoc seemed to be struggling to keep his demonic energy in check as Vyrazul had to keep holding his shoulder.
