One would think a fight between two demon lords would shatter the world and drag on until one finally fell. I believed that too until tonight proved I knew nothing about demons.
More precisely, I knew nothing about Rose.
She'd been right when she said that in the mortal realm demons are nearly untouchable. The power I saw pouring into her body was overwhelming, and in response she exhaled a dense, choking demonic miasma. Anna—no, Draegonoth—was doing the same. The air grew so heavy that ordinary humans nearby could barely breathe, but l was used to this, so it didn't affect me as much.
I cast a quick glance toward my allies and spotted Brian and Lorraine, the only calm ones in the storm, doing everything they could to drag the others away. Aria was already spent from using too much lightning magic to bring people back to normal from the zombie-parasite; they couldn't count on her now despite being an S-rank.
