Chapter 39: Together
Although Alex told Remia to stand on his left, he didn't start a battle with his strongest style; one-handed swordsmanship. It wasn't because he thought he would overwhelm enemies regardless of the style.
In fact, if his enemies proved to be a challenge, Alex could use it to form a deeper bond with Remia.
Actions said more than words. However, Alex still didn't plan to leverage their plight. He had other reasons for going for two-handed swordsmanship.
The reason was simple; the hungry demon.
The system told him about one hungry demon, so the group of humans from the Harlo City probably wasn't aware of the demonic existence in their ranks. And even if they were, Alex wouldn't show his strongest skill from the get-go.
He clenched the hilt with two hands, then waited for his enemies to come.
"I will help," Remia whispered.
Alex nodded, "I can fight them head-on and slow them down. What about you?"
