Chapter 392: The Battle Within the Iron Capital
When the emperor launched himself at me with his massive sword in hand, I could feel his MP growing as he released more of his power.
Contrary to Sinoc, the mage who betrayed the Mages’ Tower and joined the devils’ side, the emperor didn’t have any demonic energy flowing from him, so it was clear to me that he was still human.
His attacks were heavy and quick, but with my magic bo’s side effect that parried all physical attacks, it didn’t matter how much strength he put in his blows as they always got pushed back.
I would have expected any other person to stop attacking and think of another strategy, but the emperor was not giving up his relentless barrage.
At that moment, I understood that he was trying to keep me busy to give Baelzor a chance to get away from me, and the man was doing an excellent job at it.
Any time that I rushed at Baelzor, the emperor would follow up right behind me, not giving me time to deal with the devil as I had to protect myself.
Seeing that Baelzor jumped up to the throne room, I quickly flipped my bo and hit the emperor in the face, giving me a short moment to chase the devil. However, as soon as I got there, Baelzor had already left the castle.
I ran out of the throne room into the halls, and as I made my way to the nearest terrace with a view of the capital, the emperor kept following me like a maniac with his sword in hand.
When I arrived at the balcony, I turned and released a powerful gust of wind that pushed the emperor back before I flew out of the castle.
