Marcus could only stand on the sidelines, reduced to cheering for Wind God Supreme Assassin as the battle raged before him.
Unfortunately, his skill, Ascendant's Domain, was still on cooldown from his earlier alchemy session. Otherwise, he might have been able to lend Gale a hand by giving him a stat boost. Not that Gale seemed to need much help. The battle unfolding in front of Marcus was already intense enough to make his heart race, with explosions thundering across the battlefield and debris flying in every direction.
Marcus would have loved to jump in himself, but there was simply no opening.
Ten minutes later, however, the situation had clearly changed. The Seven-Soul Devil, which had erupted with terrifying power earlier after being driven into a fury, was finally beginning to falter. Its momentum was collapsing under Gale's relentless assault, and it was rapidly losing ground.
