In a battle that was evenly matched and intensely fierce, John naturally couldn't afford to pay attention to the subtle changes in the expressions on the faces of his allies.
Thus, he didn't immediately notice anything amiss with Shatras's expression.
John was currently focused on monitoring the subsequent actions of Corruptor and Dark Magus.
After taking out the wand from the Naga tribe, Dark Magus proceeded to shatter it completely.
He employed two distinct spells to converge all the marine attribute powers contained within the wand.
Although John wanted to interrupt Dark Magus's actions, every time he attempted to make a move, he was obstructed by Corruptor.
While John wasn't afraid of Corruptor, the latter was, after all, a Devil. In combat against a Devil, it was impossible for John to gain an absolute advantage.
Natasha and Shatras were continuously coordinating with John in the battle.
