Chapter 40: Different circumstances

The Demon Goblin's presence was overwhelming.

He exerted so much of it with just steps alone that Alex and Remia felt like going down to bow before him.

In spite of this aura, Alex managed to lift his sword. His body powered up with adrenaline and genuine killing intent, making him cope well with the pressure.

But as Alex was doing fine, the same couldn't be said about Remia. She fell off a few times, and it was harder for her to get up with each fall.

The Demon Goblin also didn't wait for her to adjust. He kept coming closer; his presence was multiplying.

Alex glanced behind, "I didn't say those words for a show, Remia. I won't let you die today. Before he gets to you, he has to go over me! That's why, as long as you can see my back and feel my presence, don't think about him! Just focus on trapping all evil around us!"

"I… I will," Remia stuttered due to her fear.
