The Author's POV

Opening his eyes, Ren calmly stared at the demons coming at him from all directions. As he saw them coming his way, he felt nothing.

No fear, no excitement, no anger...absolutely nothing.

With an indifferent expression, Ren slightly moved his neck sideways as the hand of a demon brushed past his cheek.

-Shuuuua!

Thereafter, aiming towards the solar plexus, Ren turned his body 45 degrees as he elbowed the demon.

-Bam!

As soon as Ren's elbow connected with the demon, a shockwave swept the surroundings as the other demons that were similarly headed in Ren's direction halted for a split second.

"Khhhhaaa—!"

Falling to the ground, the demon hit by the elbow spit out blood as he hold onto his chest area. He was in complete agony.

Staring at the demon beneath his feet, Ren slowly said

"Let me end the pain for you..."

-Click!

-Thud

Without looking at the demon, Ren placed his hand onto the grip of his sword. Shortly after a subtle clicking sound resounded across the area as the demon's head flew in the air.

...All of this happened in a matter of seconds.

-Shaaa! -Shaaa!

A split second after Ren decapitated the demon, moving backward, Ren narrowingly avoided the hands of two demons as a strand of his hair flew in the air.

-Dash

Tensing his calves, Ren quickly shot backward and distanced himself from the other demons. As he moved back, a green hue enveloped the bottom of his feet as his movement increased with every step.

"Get him!"

"Die you vermin!"

Staring at the six demons that were quickly approaching him, Ren's face remained calm and indifferent. Rather than focusing on their attacks, his attention was drawn towards their face.

...and he soon noticed one thing. How completely unfazed they were by the fact that their fellow comrades died before them. There was no shred of fear or hesitation in their eyes. Almost as if they didn't care about dying.

Noticing this, Ren glanced in Kevin's direction. He was currently back on the ground fighting against the demon leader.

Currently, both Kevin and the demon were in a stalemate. However, upon closer look, Ren could see that Kevin held a bit of an advantage. Despite the fact that neither of them budged from where they stood, Ren could tell by looking at the fine detail of their fight that Kevin was holding back whilst the demon leader was going all out.

...Moreover, he was also starting to show signs of exhaustion.

Thus without hesitation, as Ren moved backward, unsheathing his sword, Ren drew two circles in the air.

-Swooosh!

Thereafter, whilst still keeping an eye on the demons diving in his direction, quickly pointing towards Kevin, one of the circles flew in his direction.

Right after doing that, stomping his foot on the ground, Ren forcefully changed direction as his body shot towards where Kevin was. His speed didn't decrease. No, rather, it increased.

"No, you don't!"

Noticing that he could no longer catch up with Ren who was speeding up by the second, a white glow enveloped one of the demon's hands. Glaring at Ren, he quickly slashed in his direction.

-Thuaam!
