Fled?

However, before he could reach the demon, Rue appeared behind him and slashed at him with her claws.

Whoosh!

He immediately turned around and slash at her incoming hand. Rue knew how sharp his sword was even though he wasn't infusing his mana into it, so she immediately retracted her hand and jumped back.

Max ignored her, turned around and rushed at the demon, but Rue appeared behind him once again, clawing at his back.

Max's eyes narrowed in displeasure as he turned around attacked her, but she had already retreated. 

"You don't want to live, is that right?" He said, slowly walking toward her.

"Heh! You think you can kill me?" Rue mocked. but there was deep fear in the depths of her eyes. The only reason she was being this daring was because she knew his weakness: His speed.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, her eyes widened because Max was already in front of her, slashing his sword at her.
