Resonance

Tenji screamed in pain as his hand bones were crushed by the Crulior. He tried to swing his staff but the demon easily evaded it. From his other hand, He took the pearl from Tenji and then threw it away where it landed, again resulting in a large explosion. Although the wounds he took earlier from the explosion were just flesh wounds, still it was not comfortable for him to bear that intense blast again. Thus, first, he threw that weird pearl away. 

In the shadows formed by light from the blast, Crulior looked like the predator in the eyes of Tenji who was caught like a fish stuck in the web. He knew he had only one chance to escape, if he screwed up he would end up like Senior Cang. His hand was stuck in his iron-like grip, from which he couldn't escape no matter how much he tried. It was directly strength vs strength competition and he couldn't compete with a demon at all.
