Goddess Astoria's magic was not absolute. Since she had cast it on someone who was much more powerful than her, the magic lasted a few seconds before it shattered apart.
Shuu took a deep breath to gather himself before he looked at the familiar stranger in front of him. A name appeared at the forefront of his brain and he spoke without hesitation.
"Kaide…"
It was barely a whisper but it still made the man in question let out the biggest smile. The stranger's grip on his weapon loosened a bit as well.
Shuu decided to take advantage of this situation and press forward, taking Kaiden by surprise.
"Hey, this is not fair. You need to wait for me to gather myself—"
"This is a fight. What kind of idiot waits for their opponents to get ready?"
Shuu asked as he kept his assault heavy. Kaiden was finally pushed back, but it was only because he was not using any magic.
Finally, the demon king got driven into a corner and Shuu held him at the tip of his staff.
