An experienced demon like Akaza would never underestimate his opponent's speed. Even as the human attacked with blinding swiftness, he managed to dodge each and every blow. His eyes narrowed in concentration as he continued to dance around Carl, feinting and weaving through their attacks. "You're quite skilled yourself... but I fear that won't be enough."

With a roar, Akaza suddenly launched himself backwards several feet before spinning back around towards the human.

"Hmph," Akaza snorted as he saw the human's expression change. "Very well." With that, he launched himself at Carl once more, his movements a blur of unstoppable force. He swung his sword with incredible power and speed, aiming to cleave the human in two.

The air around them crackled with energy as their swords clashed time and again, each strike more powerful than the last.
