Kuroda stopped and turned, facing Shax. The other demon was faster than he had thought. That didn't dampen Kuroda's resolve though. He smirked. "Guess I better turn it up a notch." He dashed for Shax, a bit faster than before, flames now coating his hands and claws. He drew back his right hand as though he were about to strike with it, before quickly kicking with his left leg instead once he was close enough.
