Bab 288: V3 C10 (5/10)

Either Hurien or Clairene would be powerful enough to kill Kimaris, but calling one of them away would leave Kain’s [Second Soul] room to escape. If Devil-Kain comes closer to Noe and repeatedly kills him now, his mana pool would drain even faster. That was why Noe decided not to either use Hurien, the Devil Warrior, or Clairene, the Devil Mage.

Blocked Kain’s spear strike using his bare hands, Noe continued to think, “Bernard? No. Even though he is a Magic Knight, he has no self-healing ability. Stefano is strong, but it’s better to leave him to fight with many instead of fighting with just a Demon Lord. Astien and Helviane are Angel Battlemages, they can heal themselves and recover their mana pools, but they are weaker than Lien. They too can’t defeat the Demon Lord of the Thirteenth Gate. My last option is still Lucas.”
