It was a flash like lightning. Fang Zheng immediately raised his hand to shield himself. Diablo stretched out a claw and swiped hard, tearing the radiance apart completely.
Yet the moment Fang Zheng came into contact with that light, he froze.
This... why did it feel so familiar?
"Evil devil!"
Just then, an angry roar rang out. Fang Zheng looked toward the source of the voice, then stood rooted to the spot in stunned disbelief.
Not far in front of him stood a Paladin in armor, gripping a greatsword and glaring at him fiercely. Behind the Paladin stood an old mage in white robes, clutching a staff and staring at him solemnly. Beside the old mage was... wasn't that Fina?!

The leading Paladin glared at Diablo, gritting his teeth with an expression of fury.

The old mage waved his staff. Rings of arcane light gleamed around him, carrying the imposing aura of a powerful expert.
Fang Zheng paused, then immediately understood.
