None of this looked good for them, Rena didn't freeze up exactly although she felt somewhat numb. This... thing looked nothing like the description, still now she thought about it the pay was almost too good to be true. "I... don't know its nothing out of the demonology manuals I've studied." She threw her bag on the ground, already shifting through the many papers within. "Alright, listen me I need time to figure what this beast is, just do what you can and don't get reckless..." The last word trailed off, she caught herself before saying anything else. 

Rena struck a touch, here was hoping the extra light wouldn't attract the wrath of that abomination. She started with history texts, demons haven't plagued the earth for too long really, perhaps only appearing just before she was born. Even then these books had to be the most accurate as they were recorded by actual scholars. She quickly flipped through the yellow parchment, whatever it was the damned thing had to be notable somewhere, that is assuming any information was present in the first place. Five minutes later she slammed the book shut in frustration. During that time Rena tried to block out the sounds of conflict as Noboyuki tangled with the walking nightmare... alone. 

Rena knew the hero couldn't die, that wasn't her main concern. Despite being technically immortal he could still be critically wounded, or crippled, losing a limb was not out of the picture. What if he were to sustain a serious head wound? What kind of life would he even live at that point? Rena breathed deeply, losing her clam would be very deferential, well that was putting it lightly. Next set to search through, local legends she had bought and collected over time. Not nearly as reliable but should be more relevant. 

About halfway through Rena landed on a particular page, the top of which had the words [i]Joungha the Corpse Taker[/i]. She read over the entry, the description of its subject matched the monster before them word to word. Her heart sank, this was bad, more than bad they were way out of their league. "Noboyuki, uh..." Rena couldn't stomp down the sheer panic creeping into her voice, "We are in huge trouble, this is not a demon... no its something more than only a demon."
