After Drakzen's attack briefly distracted Melina, the assailant stood right behind Xalathas' burning body.
His smile showed nothing but pure mischief, and when Melina prepared herself to attack once again with her scythe, both Vespera and Yoru arrived at the scene with their eyes still glowing red from their rage.
Nevertheless, as soon as they got close, they were pushed back by a powerful gust of magic, making Melina notice that Drakzen had taken hold of the demon king's heart with his own hands.
"Drakzen… You…!" Xalathas tried to exclaim, gazing to the side and seeing his subordinate grinning.
"It was a pleasure to serve you, my king. Now, allow me to continue…" Drakzen said without wiping his creepy smile off his face.
In the blink of an eye, the entire scenery around them turned pitch black, prompting Vespera and Yoru to scan their surroundings while Melina barely reacted to their actions.
