To be entirely honestly, Aleph was very surprised that the blow had struck at all. But to be even more honest, to ascend to a higher plane of "honest", Aleph was more surprised to see that the blow had struck... somebody else? He wasn't entirely sure what just happened, to be even more honest than he was just moments prior, which was pretty fucking honest. There was not one new person in front of his blade, but two? Seriously, what was going on!? 

Both Henry Ford and his aspiring underling had both decided to block the attempted slash on the female Aleph was currently fighting. Though he originally reasoned she was somebody who was angry due to an ineptitude for most things, she was actually proving to be quite threatening and she'd only done two things with her magics! So... why did she need "saving" from a blow he was sure was too weak to connect? Perhaps female demons weren't in abundance? If that was the case, then even the Demon Lord would have to protect any female he could. And... then this would be the perfect chance for an aspiring demon to make himself noticed! Yes, that must be it! The second guy had obviously taken the blow for his Demon Lord so that he could prove his loyalty or something along those lines. Quite honestly, despite it being VERY hard to do so, Aleph also tried for a more rational reasoning for them both jumping out like this. 


It actually made a lot more sense when he thought like a chuuni, oddly enough. 

[color=1a7b30][b]"Even I must admire such loyalty...!"[/b][/color] he muttered under his breath. Demons too had things they cared about? That got him to thinking: did they even have to fight? Maybe it was possible to coexist toget---

[color=1a7b30][b]"Woah!"[/b][/color] 

Coexistence seemed like such a foolish thought when the female general he was fighting before continued, with him just barely noticing in time to avoid that which would have probably put him down for the count. This was not the most beautiful of evasions either, as he had to put a bit distance between the two of them so as not to get hit. That wasn't ideal for Aleph because it added a few more steps between the two. [color=1a7b30][b]"I must admit, those rocks would likely do a number on even a hero like myself. You're pretty good."[/b][/color] He confessed as he planted his sword in the ground for a moment, watching for any signs of an immediate follow-up attack. [color=1a7b30][b]"But it'll take much more than basic spellcasts such as that to defeat me!"[/b][/color] Aleph needed to get closer if he wanted to end the fight as the victor. His option were fairly limited here, but he had come to realize that taking it easy would result in a very bad situation for him. In truth, Aleph was probably lucky that those two demons had briefly interrupted their fight like that, there was no telling what kind of counterattack he could have suffered from this woman. 

The thought finally crossed his mind to use his hilt instead of his blade for the attack. It was a bit odd to use against someone who wasn't armored like herself, but if he did not want to murder her in the event of a connecting attack, this seemed the most ideal way. [s]Plus it looks friggin awesome.[/s] With speed fitting of a fighter who worked in close range, Aleph once more dashed towards the woman, ignoring the pathetic demons and going on the offensive again. This time, his attack consisted of a feigned frontal attack very similar to his first, but he hurriedly darted to the side at the last second and attempted to strike her in the stomach with the hilt of the blade.
