With graceful agility, I continued to evade William's fierce attacks, all the while keeping my focus on the true purpose of this encounter.
My intentions were far from violence; I had come here to engage William in a conversation about the impending devil contract he was likely to enter.
To sweeten the deal, I even brought along a well-crafted manual on a unique Spear martial manual that didn't exist in this world, as an offering in exchange for the critical information I sought.
While the knowledge contained within this manual was standard fare in my previous world, it was a complete deviation from the norms of this world. I anticipated that William would likely view it as a priceless artifact, given the marked disparity in understanding between the two worlds.
