Maugris is slowly starting to regain control of himself - enough to be startled by the shield rather than just ignoring it. He takes a deep breath and, with an effort of will, forces himself to turn back toward the pursuing creature and the boy who seems to be trying to help.
An actual challenge draws the Pyro Jack's attention, and it turns toward Lucas, keeping up its perpetual grin. It seems like Lucas isn't entirely correct - one of them does want a fight here. Maugris is too far away, but another flash of the lantern sends another Maragi spell in Lucas's direction, whipping fire at him.
He'll have help soon, once Maugris is fully in control of himself again, but just at the moment it's just him and the demon.
