The demon they were fighting wasn't just strong, he was smart. A Gaia Grand Master, with sharpened instincts and the kind of battlefield experience that made him deadly.
That's why he didn't waste time clashing with the frontliners. He broke through, rushing past Darian and Finn, blades flashing, and headed straight for the team's heart: their support.
In a heartbeat, he was already in front of Lina, both swords raised, ready to strike.
But just as his blades came down. Light flared beneath his feet.
A magic circle burst to life on the ground, its radiant glow wrapping around his body in an instant.
A trap!
He froze mid-strike, snarling in frustration.
Well, If the demon was smart… Then so were they.
Before the demon could even regain his control, Velion burst forward, delivering a heavy blow that knocked the demon back.
Darian and Finn moved immediately, flanking from both sides, striking in sync. They weren't giving him a second chance.
