"Bird? Where have you seen birds this big?" Michael teased, but just as he was about to attack, the demon beat him to it.
It sent a crescent strike toward him, and even though it hadn't even made contact with his body, Michael couldn't help but wince in pain.
Fuck blocking that, but... Michael grumbled, as he decided on something a bit different.
He moved the hostages backward as far as he could, and then, with most of his mana, proceeded to kick upward, redirecting the demon's attack into the sky.
Nonetheless, aside from pissing it off—and Michael's leg being severed—it didn't do much.
Or so he thought, but the hostages weren't harmed in the slightest.
"What do you say we take this elsewhere? I know a good restaurant around here," Michael suggested, and the demon merely scoffed before thrusting its claws at him.
Like before, Michael dodged or blocked, before moving slightly to the side.
