"Heh!"
The demon looked ready and eager to fight them, like it had been waiting for this moment.
Elion had fought against opponents stronger than him before, but this was different. Fighting fellow students was one thing.
Fighting a battle-hardened, bloodthirsty demon, one that had effortlessly cut down six powerful mages, was something else entirely.
The pressure was obviously heavier.
Of course…
He was still confident in winning.
But even so, he knew this wasn't a fight to take lightly. He would need the others.
Not because he couldn't win, but because he wanted to win cleanly, without taking unnecessary damage and without suffering any serious losses.
He had only said what he had earlier about them not standing a chance alone, just to light a fire in the others.
In truth…
He knew he could take this demon one-on-one.
"So it will be Grog against three humans and a beast!" the demon laughed.
Elion assumed that Grog was the demon's name.
