Who the hell is this guy? Kahn asked himself, glaring at the man who stood in his way.

When he first appeared without warning, the first thing Kahns instinct told him was to flee. Though it shamed him to admit it, he had leaped away on reflexonly to regain his senses later on.

To flee from a human just like that

Still, he couldnt help but be wary. He hadnt even sensed the man until he appeared and spoke. That spoke volumes of his skill.

Damn it if only I wasnt weakened like this

The mysterious man began talking to his prey, Jared Leonard, completely ignoring Kahn.

Usually, this would be enough to upset the Shadow Demon and drive him into a fit of rage, but he couldnt afford to do that now.

He was weakened, and also wasnt certain of the skill of the young man who had shown up.

Hes showing so many openings I can attack him now I can

Kahn didnt know why, but he felt like an invisible barrier made it so that he couldnt reach his foe.

It wasnt a physical or magical barrier, but it existed in his head.

Kahns instinctsno, his every beingshowed a large gulf that existed between him and the man who was currently talking casually to the half-dead child.

The child wasnt so half-dead anymore once the man snapped his fingers and brilliant sparks of different hues enveloped him..

Iis that healing? Hes healing the brat? In my presence?!

Did this man not consider him a threat at all?!

Every human he had metwith the exception of the shady onehad been surprised and appalled by his presence.

Was this perhaps an acquaintance of his partner? No. That couldnt be. Why would he heal the kid if they were on the same side?

The man finally turned to Kahn, causing his dark skin to jump in apprehension.

A smile was on his facehis expression told the Shadow Demon that he was confident.

Hes how strong is he?

The aftereffects of Jareds magic made him quite imbalanced. He couldnt get a proper read on his Mana levels, or the extent of the mans strength so he could only rely on instinct.

And instincts told him that his opponent was dangerous.

Jared, just this once Ill show you my Original Magic. Keep your eyes peeled, okay? The man spoke, still keeping his eyes on Kahn.
