No, he hadn't had any doubt about this guy's identity. But did he really feel like idling around and waiting for actual confirmation? no. He brings out Devil Sword Dante - still within him, gifted to he and not the human form - and swings it in Alastor's direction.

Fair fighting? Waiting for him to be ready? What's that?
