Chapter 383: The Devils’ Escape
When Melina arrived with all of her backups at The Pit, the Accursed Beasts quickly regrouped with the devils while our warriors kept trying to incapacitate the brainwashed soldiers.
However, Drakzen wasn’t an idiot, and he knew that they would lose if they kept fighting with us there, making him retreat with Baelzor and the Accursed Beasts.
The devils didn’t seem to care about leaving their soldiers behind. Still, after they caused so much trouble, we didn’t want to let them go that easily.
The power of my awakening had decreased, but I could still do some damage, and as I caught up with the devils and the beasts first, I cast a gravity spell that halted their movements momentarily.
In an instant, Melina rushed through the devils as electricity enveloped her body, but she wasn’t using her awakening.
*shink!* The sound of Melina’s blade echoed in our ears, followed by a gush of blood.
The princess was aiming for Baelzor, but her attack got blocked at the last second by the dark wyvern, who was in a humanoid form and got his arm severed trying to protect their master.
Suddenly, the hydra—also in their humanoid form— turned their head to look at me and opened their mouth, letting out a fire breath that came out with incredible force.
The beast’s attack made me take a step back, breaking the gravity spell on the group.
