Scrael and the Stone Demon stared at each other. Purple lightning began flickering around Scrael's body, and sparks flew off her fur.
The Stone Demon was doing the opposite of Scrael as it retracted the demonic energy that swirled around it. After withdrawing all its energy, the Stone Demon really looked like nothing more than a stone statue. Even its eyes looked as if they were carved from stone, despite the feeling of life coming from them.
The mana around Scrael kept building, and the Stone Demon's body grew more rigid as it slowly took a defensive stance. It seemed as if it wasn't the Stone Demon's first time facing someone with the lightning element. Or maybe it was just a cautious demon.
