A cowardly battle

Kremeth brought Max about 50 metres away from where Asmodeus and Sebastian were as he let him off his back but refused to let him jump into the fight just yet. 

The two of them were behind a tree trunk, away from Sebastian and Asmodeus's view as Kremeth deliberately chose this spot to train Max. 

" You promised to listen to my guidance in this fight, so now calm your raging blood and start thinking like a coward". Kremeth said as he placed his turtle hand over Max's shoulder making it impossible for Max to move a muscle under his power and grip. 

" What does that even mean?" Max asked, sounding a little irritated and impatient. 

Peeking from behind the tree trunk, Max could see how Asmodeus had tied Sebastian up against a log and was torturing him, and the scene caused uncontrollable rage to bubble inside him as he felt like rushing into battle right this second, no matter the consequences.
