I expected to feel something more when the Lesser Demon was forced into submission, but there was only a nebulous connection. It was nowhere near as strong as the bond with the Trickster Demon, but it was there—and it had an effect.
"Attack," I growled and shot past the subdued demon to behead another.
Burst helped me evade the worst injuries, but I was cut twice. As for those daring enough to strike me—they were dead.
By the time the third Lesser Demon died, the subdued Tera Demon rushed past me and crashed into a Toxica Demon.
Arriving beside them, I pushed the Toxica Demon to the ground, my palm pressed firmly against its head. The Insignia of Dominance activated effortlessly, forcing yet another demon into submission.
Next up was the stronger one. It eyed me with intelligence unlike the other Lesser Demons, but it did not focus on me. Its gaze lingered on my hand—on the Insignia of Dominance.
