From then on, the battle became one big, lethal rhythm. Every time the Lord used his devastating telekinesis to hurl a massive pillar or crush the ground, Percival dodged or retaliated with attacks of his own.
Lewis had found his feet thanks to Mercius, but he did well to stay far away from the battle, using his arcane powers to keep the ambient mana balanced, and preventing the Lord from healing.
Despite killing waves of them, Demons still slithered out of corners and Percival's Skeletons attacked them ferociously.
Their numbers had been reduced to twenty, yet they fought just as fiercely, hacking down those green nonentities with their Blazeforged Blades and Spectral Longswords.
Since Percival's Demon Summons were all gone, Mercius led the Skeletons, keeping them away from Percival. He chimed in at times to help his master beat down the Vampire Lord.
But most of the time, the Dark Swordsman had it handled.
