Renny was there, right beside Ravuto, both striking relentlessly, Krovanis staggering under their combined assault. Renny's fracture dagger flashed toward Krovanis's neck, each strike driven by precision and fury, while Ravuto's pest-thread whip cracked and coiled, tearing through the air, biting at the demon's limbs.
After a long, brutal exchange, Krovanis fell, sprawled across the fractured ground, face smeared with blood. Both Renny and Ravuto stood over him, chests heaving.
"We… we did it," Ravuto breathed, disbelief flickering across his face.
But before Renny could even reply...
A voice came from behind them.
"Did you really think it'd be that easy?"
Renny froze. Slowly, they turned. Krovanis stood behind them, untouched, his smile dark, Mirror Fang gleaming in his grip.
"Duck!" Ravuto shouted, shoving Renny aside just as Krovanis lunged. Renny rolled, barely missing the fatal arc, but Ravuto's movement left him open, and the blade plunged deep into his side.
