Third Person's POV
It was a demon that had fought all its life, and countless battles had taught it never to underestimate an enemy.
It had survived this long precisely because it never allowed anger or arrogance to cloud its judgment.
Therefore, it had no intention of underestimating this boy, not even for a moment.

It had actually been to build its momentum, which would cause its aura and power to increase several times over.
