After Melina awakened and began dominating her encounter with Vyrazul, Ichiro had to make a strategic retreat to Yuandu to protect it from Drakzen.
Ichiro knew that Drakzen was targeting his companion Vespera at first, and luckily, he was able to get there in time before the devil could finish his plan.
While Ichiro took care of the problem in Yuandu, Melina and Yoru stayed in the palace fighting their respective opponents.
During Yoru's encounter, Minotaur made fun of him for working under Garon, the God of Beasts, saying that an Accursed Beast only had to work for themselves.
However, Yoru had learned from Ichiro how to hurt others with words.
"So, you prefer to work under a devil? That doesn't sound much better to me…" the moonwolf replied.
Minotaur, being a simple beast, was easily taunted by Yoru's words, even when he said them without much passion or interest.
