King-rank monsters were said to be stronger than humans of the same rank because the curse greatly amplified their power.
And yet…
Jackson held his ground against Morgus remarkably well.
No, he did more than that.
He actually began forcing Morgus backward, gaining a genuine advantage over him.
At that moment, the monstrous clergyman's attention was completely occupied by Jackson.
It was the perfect opportunity for me to strike.
SLASH!!!
I needed less than a second to join the battle.
I gathered as much Phoenix Flame as I could around my sword before attacking at full speed with Asterion's swordsmanship.
In a single second, I unleashed ten flaming slashes.
The attacks tore into Morgus's body, drawing a pained groan from him. He immediately tried to strike me in fury, but I evaded his attack without difficulty.
The moment Morgus turned his attention toward me, Jackson tightened his hold on him even further.
Gustav joined the battle five seconds after I did.
