Chapter 464: Atomic Magic
While Yoru and Vespera continued attacking Drakzen without giving him a second to rest, Nessa and Jackson stood against Agares in a nearby area.
In the meantime, Arashi searched for Melina and saw the woman hovering high above in the air, looking down with her eyes widened in shock.
Due to their contract, Arashi and Frost were able to feel the mix of sadness and anger brewing inside Melina, and the storm dragon wanted to find her to console her, knowing that losing control wasn’t the best strategy.
As the scene of Ichiro’s lifeless body was imprinted in her brain, Melina completely silenced her surroundings, listening to her own breathing, which was gradually getting heavier and faster.
After a few seconds, the princess seemed to be hyperventilating from the emotions swelling within her, prompting her to slowly release an eerie energy from her body that darkened her surroundings.
Arashi, who was flying towards Melina, instantly stopped when she felt the surge of energy around her, and she could feel how Melina’s emotions were starting to affect her own.
"Ichi..." Melina muttered, a tear rolling down her cheek while flashes of memories spent with Ichiro appeared in her mind.
Xalathas was watching the princess’ reaction from afar, also hovering in the air, pondering if he should relish the opportunity to attack her.
However, in the blink of an eye, Melina had switched positions and hovered right behind the demon king with a cold expression devoid of emotions.
