Back at the Great Serpent's Pass…
The battle had continued with tremendous intensity across every part of the battlefield.
Jillia may not have drawn the attention of the provincial lords, who had focused entirely on Nathan, but she was still being forced to deal with several of their right-hands at once.
Five of the nine right-hands she had to face were Grade 7 demons.
That alone would have been difficult enough, but the other four were Grade 8 demons, placing them on equal footing with her.
Even so, Jillia had maintained a frightening pace.
She had just clashed swords with two blademaster demons, weaving between them with precise movements while deflecting both of their attacks.
She leaped out of their range, only to be met almost instantly by a concentrated burst of blue demonic magic that came traveling toward her from above.
Jillia immediately stretched out her sword, the Dhurandar, toward the incoming blast.
