Amadeus stands next to Julia to protect her, so I can focus on this black thing.
We need to tire it out until it's easy to push into a portal. We already failed once when Raphael was caught. This time, we better avoid fighting too close.
«We need to push it in the portal, not drag,» I repeat. «Push!»
The young vampire shakes his head, annoyed by my words. Yet, he doesn't complain. He knows we would have finished already if it wasn't for that moment.
«It might work if we kick it hard enough,» I say. «Together at the same time.»
«Let's try,» Raphael accepts. «You count.»
«All right. One, two...» We jump in the air almost at the same time: a good sign that we can coordinate for the attack. «Three.»
The kicks land a second one from the other, yet the combined strength is enough to send the devil back in the air by a few metres.
Okay, now... If Julia saw this, she can estimate where to open the portal.
