The Stone Demons were cowards and basically tried to defeat Adam and Alexia through deception and illusions.
However, the Red Demon looked completely different. It took Adam only a moment to realize that this monster was truly dangerous.
Moreover, the Red Demon had only one horn, and from everything they had seen at the second trial, it was the only thing that could be the necessary item to open the gate.
So, he prepared for battle, a real one, not the beating they had given the weak Stone Demons, who only appeared to be strong.
But...
Alexia had other plans.
"You want to fight him 1 on 1?" Adam asked. Doubt was audible in his voice. He wasn't sure he could easily defeat the Red Demon in solo himself, so he didn't know if Alexia could handle it.
Alexia nodded deeply.
"Precisely because you asked, I can no longer back down. In fact, Adam, it irritates me that lately I've been playing second fiddle in our team. It's time to remind you that I'm not weaker than you!"
