For a moment Ishiki and the demon stood face to face... though it couldn't be said that it was face to face as the demon was far taller than Ishiki standing at 2 meters of height.
But the silent confrontation didn't last long as Ishiki jumped back out of caution and fear in equal measures.
He landed just besides kaori who was grabbing Nina by the wrist and gasping heavily.
On the other side of the battlefield not too far away... Arthur's group which had lost three of its people. But still they were pushing through the hordes of Withering beasts with relative ease.
None of them cared enough about Ishiki and the two girls with him to even spare them a look behind... well, even if they cared. No one would go out of their league to help them when their own life was in grave danger.
"Ishiki... what should we do?" kaori asked, her voice trembling as her eyes were fixed on the demon.
