I ran down the stairs and rested for a bit, though this guys won't let me rest a second.
"You shall not pass! The Kuruma Temple is not for beings like you!"
Shaina: Switch with me now!
"As students of this temple we won't let you take a step."
This guys might be close to Akami, but if i don't kill them... they might kill me.
"You might've saved the little lady but we'll have to exorcise you no matter what!"
Maika: Alright... I'm sorry Akami, i'll have to hurt your friends. Devil's blade, switch.
As Shaina and me switched, huge fire broke out.
"Protect the temple! Exorcise technique, spirit barrier!"
A barrier was set up on us. Two exorcists and the gatekeeper was in it.
"Please begone from that girl's body! Exorcise technique, spirit swords."
Ginrai: Exorcise technique, field of wires!
He has wires that he can control using his hands?
Ginrai: One wrong move and you'll be exorcised.
Shaina: Shut up gatekeeper.
"Gatekeeper?"
Ginrai: I don't know what you're talking about devil.
Shaina: I don't know how you fooled these humans and how did you covered your comrades from underworld, but i'll take you down as well as Zargon!
Ginrai: Oh, disrespectful i see.
"What is she talking about Ginrai?"
Shaina: Howling blade, burning presence.
Shaina burned all the wires into dusts.
"It's so hot... It's suffocating."
"Idiot exorcise her! Exorcise technique unfortunate for you i am a shikigami user."
Maika: What's a shikigami?
Shaina: It's a summoned being who fights for you and specializes in exorcising evil beings.
"Now! Konomi!"
A hunter suddenly showed up with dual swords.
Konomi: You're the evil spirit? You look strong, might be worth the trouble!
Shaina: I see, so what are you going to do Ginrai?
Ginrai: I shall watch you duel with this hunter.
Konomi: Don't underestimate me Ginrai!
Shaina: Let's start shall we!
Konomi: Master, better stand back this evil is powerful.
"He can't move, i'll have to remove the barrier."
Ginrai: I'll do the barrier. Tell the master that i'll end this soon.
Konomi: Nope! I'm killing her before you do!
"I'm counting on you two!"
Shaina: Maika i'll have to eliminate the shikigami user.
Maika: Sure... do as you wish.
Shaina: I'll take your offer and move!
She dashed and...
Shaina: Weaklings should die! Howling blade, dance of the devil princess. Burn to ashes!
She slashed the two exorcists in a blink of an eye.
Konomi: She's fast... I couldn't even react. What the?! Master!
Shaina: You're useless. Unless he...
"I'm releasing you Konomi, do as you wish from now on..."
Konomi: Master! I will avenge you...
He released Konomi as he was in his hellish looked form. He stared us with red eyes.
Ginrai: Oh my, this is a bit disappointing. Exorcise technique, barrier.
Konomi: Aren't you master's senior?! Why didn't you save him?
Ginrai: He wasn't worth saving. He's weak, it'll be a pain.
Konomi: Damn you! I'll kill this devil before you!
Shaina: Shut up Ginrai! Howling blade, slashing volcano!
I continued slashing Ginrai as he released a sword from his hands.
Ginrai: Exorcise technique, spirit sword's flash.
He quickly flashed in front of my eyes and blown me away.
Shaina: Yeah, he's strong.
Konomi: Hunter's strike, prey's end!
Shaina: Shut up weakling! Howling blade, blazing strike fast!
He jumped and continued slashing my sword. Shaina is at disadvantage, but then... she manage to stop it by slashing even more to his opponent. They continued to battle and kept fencing. Ginrai was just standing and watching us.
Shaina: This pisses me off! Howling blade, blazing strike forward!
A huge slash forward but Konomi dodged it.
Konomi: Hunter's strike, zigzag slash.
In a blink of eye he slashed my body apart.
Ginrai: Woah, impressive.
Shaina: Don't mess with me! Howling blade, phoenix strike upper!
She slashed Konomi's left arm as he slashed my body apart.
Konomi: Hunter's strike, supersonic dash!
He was moving with god speed.
I can't follow his movements but he keeps on slashing my clothes.
Shaina: Now i'm mad. Why are you slashing my clothes? Do you want to see my body that much? One of my most hated personalities are perverts!
Konomi: Shut up devil!
He keeps on slashing Shaina...
Shaina: Howling blade, burning impact!
As Shaina turns around he timed him well and clashed with Konomi's sword.
Konomi: I must compliment you for hitting my sword, you have my praises. But this is just the beginning.
Shaina smirks and laughs.
Shaina: I'm afraid it's the end.
Shaina back off and snaps her fingers.
Konomi stars to burn into ashes. Konomi: Damn you! What did you do?!
Shaina: Shut up and burn to ashes pervert.
Konomi died without avenging his master.
Konomi: Sorry master, i didn't kill your opponent, i'm still weak after all...
Their souls were absorbed by Ginrai.
Ginrai: Good job finding me out, i shall compliment you devil. But it is my job to keep the underworld gates closed unless there is business to be dealt with.
Shaina: Yeah, i'll send you back to ashes. Die Ginrai!
Ginrai: Master she's too strong.
Daisuke: I see, those two did a good job, leave the rest to me.
Ginrai: I'll keep the barrier intact sir.
Daisuke: I'm counting on you.
Shaina: Maika, i can't hurt this one right?
Maika: I hoped not but in this case...
Shaina: You're lucky old man. This girl doesn't want to hurt you.
Daisuke: I see, so begone! Shikigami, ninja all form!
Lots of ninjas appeared out of no where.
Daisuke: If she's down exorcise her, i'll support you guys. Exorcise technique, binding souls.
Shaina: I can't move Maika, this is bad that old man is strong.
Maika: Is there no way to win this without killing him?
Shaina: There is no way. We'll have to eliminate him if we're going to kill Ginrai.
Maika: Do it... sorry Akami...
Shaina: Then let's do this! Evil presence, volcano!
The platform changed and only Daisuke and Shaina were there.
Ginrai: This devil is not a normal devil. Only high ranking devils can use evil presence. And her vessel isn't normal as well. They're both monsters.
Shaina: Now old man let's get to work!
Daisuke: I heard you saved my daughter, i shall thank you for that. But i can't let you live with evilness in your soul.
Shaina broke the bind.
Shaina: She says it was Akami who saved her. She was her new strength to move on. So she says no matter what she don't want to hurt you.
Daisuke: But you need to kill me before Ginrai.
Shaina: That guy is a underworld being.
Daisuke: But my family owe the underworld a lot. They gave us power and security in exchange of letting him stay at our temple.
Shaina: So you're exterminating evil by using evil tricks.
Daisuke: I'm afraid so, but it's a prideful job and a respectable one.
Maika: You're letting your daughter be like you in the future?
Daisuke: I don't want to, so if you ended up killing me the head of all of this, she might have a pleasant future.
Shaina: Too much pain! If you wish to die then do so, i'll make it quick.
Daisuke: Sadly i won't go down without a fight!
Shaina: Let's do this! Howling blade!
His ninjas have burned into ashes. So what can he do?
Daisuke: Soul sword, released!
He destroyed the presence? How did he?
Ginrai: Oh, he released it, this might be interesting.
