Starlight Binding Chains tightly bound the three demons. Even if they realized something was wrong and wanted to flee, they could not escape.
Abyssal Flame Burst exploded beside them. Though demons possessed fairly decent magic resistance, taking two blasts head-on from such close range still left them with plenty of explosive wounds.
After the explosions subsided, the demons were left dazed and reeling.
Without needing Charles's command, Bruce silently hefted his battle-axe and charged out.
Meanwhile, Charles prepared his third spell.
Second-circle spell: Radiant Ray.
Two dazzling beams shot from Charles's and his mirror image's hands, striking the two demons who were in slightly better condition.
The Four-Armed Serpent Demon and the Ape Demon each took one of Charles's Radiant Rays.
Bound by the Starlight Binding Chains, they could not even dodge. The rays gouged huge pits into their chests.
Scales, tough skin, and flesh were all scorched dry by the searing beams.
"Aaaah!"
"Who was it?! Who did this?! I'll kill you!"
The Four-Armed Serpent Demon roared in fury. Abyssal magic surged through his body like raging torrents as he tried to destroy the Starlight Binding Chains trapping him.
It was somewhat effective. After all, using two binding spells to restrain three demons of the same rank was indeed rather difficult.
The other two demons were struggling in the same way.
But Bruce and Charles had already reached the battlefield first.
After casting his third spell, Charles's Moonlight Mirror Image shattered at once.
He paid it no mind and simply raised his two-handed greatsword as he charged in.
The pterosaur-like wings on his back beat fiercely, granting Charles even greater speed.
At that moment, he leaned forward. With the acceleration from his wings, he moved incredibly fast, like a fighter jet diving low through the sky.
