"Haaa... haaa... Fuuu..."
Aestrea's breathing was steady, but his body was very tense.
His scythe rested on his shoulder as he stared at the new form of the archdemon.
The creature's body was more human-like now, but the pressure coming from him was even worse than before.
His red eyes burned with endless fury, and the dark energy around him twisted like a living thing.
Aestrea clicked his tongue.
'He got up much faster than I expected...'
The archdemon's lips curled into a slow grin.
He flexed his fingers, and his claws grew longer.
"Fucking annoying bastard..." Aestrea mumbled slightly.
The air shook around them.
The ground beneath the archdemon cracked as dark energy spiraled around his feet. The demon bent his knees slightly, preparing to launch forward.
Aestrea's legs tensed slightly.
He could feel it—the next attack was going to be fast.
BOOM!
