Kurtz had listened to the Demon’s plan very carefully and for he had immediately began to form a counter plan of his own.
The third Demon had simply proposed to the first two that they distracted the porcupine and get it to shoot it spikes. He had been very convinced that Kurtz would immediately retreat once the porcupine went on rampage with its spikes and then he, who would have been hiding behind a monster’s corpse would immediately sprang up and grab Kurtz.
The last thing Kurtz would however do was conform to the Demon’s plan. Once the Demon attacked, he did the last thing anyone would have expected which was moving towards the spike barrage, a step at a time.
Kurtz however was not planning to die and with his degree of perception, he was quite sure he won’t.
