The man had a big disadvantage in this deadly fight. The demon could regenerate, but he could not. No matter how much damage the man inflicted on the demon, the injuries would simply heal, making it look like the attacks never happened. The only way for the man to achieve victory was for all of the demon''s Xin to deplete and stop it''s regeneration.


    The onslaught of blows were tiring the man out. Every blow he threw felt heavier and heavier, but the demon on the other hand looked riled up and ready to keep on going.


    ''This isn''t looking good. I could probably escape, but what about the kid? If I leave him here the demon will kill him. The only choice I have choice is to wait for backup, I have to hold out until then.''


    Kenny who was witnessing the battle wasn''t so encouraging.


    ''He’s going to lose at this rate. What should I do Aragon?''


    ''You should run.''


    ''What? I can''t just leave that guy behind and save my own ass!''


    ''You''re seeing the battle, he''s going to lose if this keeps going. When he does, the demon is going to come after you next.''


    ’What happened to your intuition?’


    ‘Well, it was wrong.’


    Kenny gritted his teeth. He didn''t know what to do. He could crawl away while the man kept the demon busy, but then he would be leaving behind someone who had saved him to die, which is something that would lay in his conscious forever.


    ''Kenny, you''re going to die if you stay.''


    Kenny felt conflicted. His injuries were healing faster and would be done healing in a few minutes. This left him with the question: should he stay and help the man, or should he escape?


    After a few seconds of internal conflict he decided to stay and wait for his injuries to heal. Kenny couldn''t just leave the man behind to die. After all, he was human and he would feel miserable if he had left someone who saved him to die.


    ''I''m going to stay.''If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.


    ''Kenny, do you understand that even if your injuries are healed you can''t even interfere in that battle!? You''ll only hold him back! Then you''ll both die! You need to run!''


    Kenny ignored Aragon''s words.


    ''Kenny!''


    Kenny poured as much Xin as he could to his injuries to make them heal faster.


    ''Kenny! Listen to me! You have to run!''


    He summoned his regalia to his hand and activated [Sword Master].


    [You have unlocked the Sub Gift: Sword Teleportation].


    Kenny stood up. He strongly gripped his sword and threw it with all his strength to the demon. The demon was surprised, but not by the attack, but by Kenny actually attempting to fight.


    The demon smirked and with a swing of it''s hand smacked the sword to the ground.


    Kenny teleported to his sword and grabbed it as he then proceeded to slash the demon''s stomach.


    "Hey! Coordinate with me!"


    Although surprised by Kenny, the man instantly heeded Kenny''s request and assisted him.


    The demon prepared a punch but was stopped by the man with a punch of his own. Kenny dashed backwards, and so did the man.


    "Although I''m nowhere near as strong as you, I can still help you land some strikes."


    "Alright!"


    "I''ll follow your lead."


    They both lunged towards the demon. The man slowed himself down to keep up with Kenny. Even he knew that he couldn''t defeat that monster alone so he would need to cooperate with the boy.


    Kenny threw a Xin slash to the demon, but the demon just slapped it out of existence. The moment the demon swung it''s arm and destroyed the Xin slash Kenny was infront of it and he swung his sword. Although it failed, it was just a diversion from the main force.


    The man appeared beside Kenny as he lunged in and threw a punch that landed on the healing wound that was inflicted by Kenny when he threw his sword.


    The punch had sent the demon skidding back, but the two didn''t let it think as they began to yet again charge at it.


    Sudden black markings enveloped the left side of Kenny''s body as his nails sharpened themselves. He then threw his sword towards the demon''s head. It dodged, but Kenny had teleported to it again. Kenny grabbed the sword and swung it with the entention of slicing it''s neck. Although the demon dodged the attack again, Kenny had already bought enough time for the man to prepare a devastating attack.


    The demon looked down and saw the man''s right gauntlet emitting small blue lightning as the man threw a right hook at it, landing in it''s stomach again.


    The blow had sent it skidding back again. It was surprised. Kenny was a weakling who it could kill instantly, but now with the man''s coordination it didn''t have enough time to land a blow on any of them.


    Although the two humans had only just met, their coordination was spectacular and remarkable. Anybody would think that they had been seasoned fighters who had been fighting together for many years. Their attacks were so coordinated that it didn''t give the demon time to counterattack or even react.


    "You filthy humans!! How dare you!! How dare you!! How dare you!!"


    The demon grew irritated and angry by the two humans who were giving him trouble.


    "Us, who were chosen by Lord Greed himself cannot be bested by mere weaklings such as yourselves!!"


    "Jackass." Said kenny under his breath.
