[Tekoa Town]
Now that his swords were completely broken after previously taking in the full grunt from the demon, Zaheer then has no choice but to change his weapon at hand and pull out a club and a round shield.
His weapon may be a blunt weapon, but such weapon can tank a lot of hits from the demon due to its density. With that in mind, he stood in between the demon and Asagi.
Now that he is alone and won't be able to acquire help from nearby allies, he then needed to amp his game if he wants to even survive in this confrontation. From that moment on he then entered a state of emptiness, as he clears his mind of any distraction and solely focused on taking down the demon.
Pushing the thought that the demon looks like Ester at the back of his mind. All he needed was to view Ester as a simple demon and nothing more.
