The atmosphere in the room suddenly became extremely tense, at least for Gabriel and Maximilian. Nero and Arter remained nonchalant, though both for entirely different reasons.

Compared to berserkers, dark berserkers, tentacle monsters and everything else in between, the thing that was least challenging for him to face was humans.

Although defeating Arter and Maximilian without killing them would be a challenge, since when was Nero afraid of a challenge? Which is why a good deal of his focus, instead, was on his dagger. He held it in the forward grip, where the thumb of his hand was on the back of the dagger. Having a forward grip allowed him better control and allowed for more finesse, as well as increased his reach.

But then, Nero suddenly twirled the dagger in his hand, as if he was playing with it, and switched to the reverse grip. This grip allowed him to use more power.
