This Elite Demon, at the very least, stood at the level of a Gaia Grand Master.
And even if the other demons refrained from interfering in this one-on-one duel, it didn't make this any easier. Facing him was like being locked in a storm with no end in sight.
Tave hovered mid-air, scanning the battlefield below. Vanya was holding her ground, holding off the demon horde almost entirely on her own. Not truly alone, the golem was still rampaging alongside her. But even so, her stamina and energy were finite.
No matter how vast her Echo pool was, it wouldn't last forever.
Tave raised his weapon again, trying to catch his breath. His opponent smirked in response, sensing the strain.
Then the demon struck.
Blinding speed. Tave barely saw the blur before impact.
The clawed strike slammed into him, sending him tumbling through the sky. He managed to recover mid-spin, just in time to block the next blow.
