Golden light gathered around the Devil's Eye, Reiji's expression became solemn.
He didn't rush in. He had learned his lesson. Against a creature like this, recklessness meant death.
The mana surrounding the Devil's Eye became increasingly violent. Countless strands of golden light spiraled around its body before converging above its head. The air trembled under the pressure, and even the clouds overhead were pulled into the growing vortex.

Another Shadow Step.
His figure flickered unpredictably around the Devil's Eye, refusing to stay in one place long enough to become an easy target.
