Sam is standing in a large arena and a shadow demon completely dressed in black.
He even had his face covered. As he is an assassin by nature and it is indeed a good choice.
Sam held the scythe over his shoulder as he took a deep breath and waited for the other party to make the first move.
The scythe is not exactly a conventional weapon as it has many limitations attached to it. It is not as versatile as other staff weapons as the blade is too big to allow the rest of the staff to move as freely.
Due to the weight of the blade, it cannot be wielded as simply as the spear or even a halberd.
It needs a lot more effort than other staff weapons and due to its requirement of large movements, it is easier to dodge than the other weapons.
Particularly when the opponent is a shadow demon who can move along the shadows as he liked.
