While the defenders were valiantly defending the capital inside the mountain, the two country guardians continued their tussle outside.
During demonization, Uddroth's physical attributes increased exponentially. Suzaki who didn't excel in melees was forced into a disadvantageous situation. However, Uddroth also couldn't defeat the phoenix. Suzaki took an evasive approach until the demonization ended, which had a one-hour duration. Afterward, Suzaki went back to offense.
Suzaki had a very high HP regeneration ability. After Uddroth's demonization ended, the dragon couldn't land enough hits to continue the damage. Hence, Suzaki's HP slowly recovered.
Once the cooldown of demonization ended, which was six hours, Uddroth used the ability again. This cycle continued.
