As the jester stood with furrowed brows, he could just about tell that Ryuk was at a significantly lower level than him but he still gave him a real sense of danger and that bothered him greatly.
Of course, he wasn't shocked by this, after all, he had spent a lot of time with a certain Sage to know that their cultivation rank was not a good means to measure their overall power level.
"…I might have to exert myself." He made a mental note of this as he prepared for what was to come.
Obviously, he wasn't as willing to charge forward any long since blindly charging in before he managed to get a grasp of his opponent's abilities would be suicide and for the jester… his life was the most important thing.
Just then, Ryuk spoke up. "I'll separate them. Wait for my signal."
Max nodded in response while the jester frowned.
Why would he announce his plans so openly?... Only a fool would do that.
Except…
His train of thought immediately trailed off as Ryuk made his move.
Whoosh
