As Drakzen stood before Vespera and me after killing the giant hydra in the center of the city, he took out a black potion vial from his pocket, which I recognized.
Before the devil could open the bottle's cork, I pointed my finger at him and shot a thin light beam. Nonetheless, Drakzen used blood magic to cover his arm like armor and protect himself from my spell.
*Tsk, tsk* "Careful there. This vial is quite valuable," said Drakzen, clicking his tongue mockingly.
When the devil tried to open it again, both Vespera and I pointed our palms at him and started shooting different magic projectiles that we could quickly cast, interrupting him from absorbing the hydra's corpse.
During our barrage of attacks, I stopped momentarily and used the dust cloud that had been raised by Vespera's attacks to get closer to Drakzen.
