Drakzen’s Plan

Our battle against Drakzen continued for a while as Nessa, Melina, and I were focused on him while the rest of our group fought Salamandra.

The devil wasn't using his full power against us, which deterred me from using my full strength.

I knew that devils had different forms that they would transform whenever they needed more power.

It happened with both Armaros and Zagor, who suddenly revealed their final forms when they realized they couldn't beat me without it. However, Drakzen maintained his human form the entire time.

I didn't want to use my awakening unless Drakzen transformed, and I had a good reason for it.

If I were to awaken and fail to kill the devil in that short amount of time, it would pretty much leave me out of the fight. 

Awakening used all of my MP and would always leave me feeling exhausted and useless for a bit, so I had to save it as a last-resort option.
