3.35 Fall of the city - Part 1

Unlike Mana, miasma manipulation ability came at a considerable price. If one were to absorb more miasma than one can handle, that would cause insanity.

In my fight with Beelzebub, I observed that he grew more aggressive as the amount of miasma he absorbed increased. And if Zagan were to do the same, I was sure this wouldn't end up well.

[Zagan, only absorb the amount that you can handle. Flare just evolved, so the two of us might be able to keep him distracted as we are now.]

I created a sword of blue flames in my right hand and waited for him to make a move. I wasn't foolish enough to charge at him myself when my main goal here was to buy time.

"That toy of yours is nothing," he said as he charged towards me again.

This time I wasn't planning to take him head-on. I moved backward and dodged it, but he followed his initial attack with a dark miasma slash as soon as he realized that.

The follow up was so fast that I had no time to dodge it.
