The attacker harshly tugged Kevin's hair, pulling his head back. He leaned down to taste the sweet and vengeful essence of the bespectacled reaper's soul. Suddenly something sharp clamps on the demon's hand causing him to reel back in pain and surprise, freeing Kevin in the process. Utilizing the demon's momentary weakness he brutally kicked him off his body, allowing the bespectacled man to stand up and brush himself off.
"Honestly, I came to collect a soul and what do I get? A disgusting rat trying to steal it." A monotone, yet familiar voice spoke from the darkness and he saw a man step into the light. Kevin smirked to himself, seeing as the man was his former boss.
'The timing couldn't be less than perfect.' Kevin's expression quickly morphed into indifference before the other two men noticed.
The man that saved him was dressed in formal clothes and held a tall pruner in his hand which is now dripping with blood. The "demon" hummed in amusement,
"Pity, you could've waited a tad longer and I would've taken care of the soul. Now wouldn't that make it easier if we collaborate?"
That earned him another swipe from the pruner but he easily dodged it. As he moved away the other reaper took his chance and pulled Kevin towards him.
"Get out while you still can while I deal with this vermin." He faintly whispered into Kevin's ear while doing so he adjusted his glasses.
Kevin, without hesitation turned around and ran as fast as his speed as a human can allow him. In all honesty, he didn't know where this stroke of luck came from but at least he managed to escape from that vermin.
'Thank you Spears, I will pay you back for this at a later date. As for that demon… I have an odd inkling that this won't be the last time I will be seeing him.'
