章 1094: Waited Too Long To Taste...

Despite the initial shock of Athena's strength, the devil known as Mushroom Paste was far from defeated. In fact, the surprise seemed to ignite a deeper ferocity within it. Its eyes narrowed with a deadly focus, and without hesitation, it launched itself into the air, aiming to crush Athena beneath its massive form. 

Athena's instincts screamed at her, and she dove to the side, narrowly avoiding the full brunt of the attack. The ground where she had just stood erupted in a cloud of dust and debris as the devil's claws struck down with terrifying force. 

But the reprieve was short-lived—Mushroom Paste was unnaturally fast for its size. In the blink of an eye, it was on her again, its claws slicing through the air towards her face.
