Damien could not use his strongest ability. There were too many students still inside the chamber.
If he created even a miniature sun here, the resulting explosion would not only kill Marbas. It could kill the unconscious students as well.
That was not a risk he was willing to take.
Noah slowly pushed himself back to his feet. Pain spread throughout his entire body. His ribs hurt. His muscles ached.
His mana reserves were also running low. Yet his blue eyes remained locked on Marbas.
The demon stood in the center of the ruined chamber. He was also wounded. Missing an arm. Covered in cuts and burns.
Yet still standing. Still stronger than all of them. Noah tightened his grip around his spear.
'We have no choice.' He thought gravely.
'No matter what happens... we have to keep fighting.'
Nearby, Damien also stood up. For a brief moment, their eyes met.
Ocean blue eyes met hazel eyes.
No words were needed. Both of them understood exactly what the other was thinking.
