"Oh yeah, careful now. If some of my blood somehow gets into an open wound or injury, you will also become a demon. You wouldn't want that happening now would you?" The devil said as he lunged at Claude with his claws.

"Of course I wouldn't want that happening. This is why you must die before any of that truly happens." Claude said as he parried the attack before delivering a roundhouse kick to the devil.

"Bfft!" The demon was sent flying away as he stood up again before charging at Claude once more.

"That isn't enough to do anything to me!" The demon said as he wiped blood off his mouth.

"Just how much defense and endurance do you have..." Claude said as he sighed before he parried another slash. He then dropped his blade shocking the demon. The demon while shocked was unable to react quickly enough to Claude who had suddenly taken a step forward and threw a punch at his stomach.

"Blurgh!" The demon coughed out blood as he was sent flying violently this time.

'Sh*t! Why is he so strong! This body is too weak, I need to reap those bodies. Then will I be able to fight this guy.' The demon thought as he quickly glanced at Sylvie's group before making a mad dash towards them.

"Where do you think you're going?" Claude asked as he appeared in front of the demon slashing downwards with his sword.

The demon seeing this parried the blade with his claws. He then flipped over Claude as he madly dashed towards the group.

"Laura!" Claude shouted.

"On it!" Laura said as she casted a spell.

"Crystal Magic Barrier!" Laura said as a transparent barrier was erected around her and the kids.

"You aren't worth my time woman!" The demon said as he didn't realize there was a magic barrier there. Thus, he lunged towards Laura.

THUD

The demon who was unaware of the barrier was running at high speeds, thus when he crashed into the barrier, he surely would suffer a lot of damage.

"Fireball!" Laura casted.

"AGH!!!" The demon cried out as it was burning in the flames.

"Two Step Piercing Blow" Claude came out of no where as he took two steps and pierced the demon's heart.

The demon then stopped wailing in pain as it dropped down before it was motionless.

"Sigh. Was that it?" Laura asked as she brought down the barriers.

"Probably I guess? I haven't fought against a demon in many years. And none of them were really high class. Usually lower and medium." Claude said as he shrugged.

"Oh well, looks like the king is coming over. That guy is always late to the party isn't he?" Laura said as she looked towards the entrance.

"Eh... Makes me wonder how he became the king. The king I served wasn't always this late." Claude said as he looked towards the entrance.

"Ah! You two! Did you already finish everything here? I thought I sensed some catastrophe happening here..." The king said as he looked at the two.
