The King took advantage of the slightest distraction that he could receive. Even though he could've waited for the Guard to take up his offer, there was also a slight chance that he could just reject the offer.
If it was the latter case, he was sure he wasn't going to receive the same opportunity again.
He left his bloody Sword stabbed in the Guard before stepping back hastily.
The Guard was shocked. He was cheated! The King had pulled a disgusting trick to win the battle. He tried to step forward, but his body was out of his control. His clothes were covered in blood already as his body dropped to the ground.
The battle was over, and the victor was clear. The King managed to win. Even though he used some tricks, for him, it was better than losing his life.
Moreover, he was sure that Azekiel was someone who wasn't going to care about the methods that he used to win. A demon wasn't going to care for the evil methods that were followed.
