" Let's increase the intensity a bit "
Shu whispered as blood began to drip from his lips and eyes, yet that smile still remained
" I understand now... "
Ean said as he walked toward Shu, holding his swords tightly, pointing their tips to the ground whilst moving his head from left to right
" The excitement you feel when you fight "
The boy added as Shu turned to look at him, their blue eyes locking before disappearing in a blur of speed, appearing in the middle of the room, clashing against each other.
Shu using his fists, and Ean both his swords, creating shockwaves of energy
" I think I do too "
Arthur said as he crawled out of the hole in the wall, letting his body fall to the ground, slowly standing up without the need of his hands, and just like Ean and Shu, he disappeared in a blur of speed, reappearing beside the white-haired boy, kneeing him right in the ribs with his leg engulfed in hard ice.
" How does it feel!? "
He yelled as he pushed his knee forward in an attempt to inflict more damage, but, he felt an odd feeling the moment he made contact with Shu's body, it wasn't squishy like the muscle or the skin, it was as hard as a wall, or a rock.
" I don't feel anything "
Shu replied before kicking Ean in his stomach sending him flying meters away, to then grab onto Arthur's leg, pulling him up in an attempt to slam him down, but he was swept off his feet with a quick to the back of both his knees by Ayami, who had appeared right behind him in a blur of speed.
Not wanting this small chance to go to waste, Arthur quickly relieved himself off of Shu's grip, proceeding to grab his arm, with both of his, tightly holding on the white-haired boy's limb like his life depended on it.
" Ayami!!! Quickly grab his other arm!! "
Arthur yelled, making the girl nod, as she then complied, grabbing his other arm, tightly hugging it, replicating Arthur's actions
" Pull him back at my count! "
Ayami yelled as the blue-haired boy nodded in agreement
" One! "
She screamed
" Two!!"
She added
" Three!!! "
She finished, as the two pulled Shu's arms backward, making the boy whine, as they then kneed his back, pushing him up.
" Ean!!! "
The two yelled as Shu's eyes widened, realizing what the two were planning, and with that in mind, he began to move his arms wildly, like an animal would instinctively do if they found their life to be in danger.
Ean heard his name being called out, and simply stood up, blood dripping from his forehead whilst the right half of his Kimino fell down his arm, completely ripped apart from all the crashing and attacks he received.
His eyes would then turn to the three other children, watching as Ayami and Arthur held Shu tightly and securely for Ean to attack.
" Hurry and do it, you idiot!!! "
Ayami yelled, closing her eyes tightly as She used all her strength to hold the boy back. Feeling that his time was shortened, Shu began to become more rough, moving his entire body to ateos and free himself.
His arms moved wildly, as the boy ruthlessly attempted to push the children away, elbowing them and kicking them, this allowed him to free one of his arms, which was the one Ayami held.
" Shit.. "
The girl whispered, as she held her bloody covered nose, which was where Shu landed his elbow a few times
" I'm sorry Shu "
Ean whispered, appearing above the three with both of his swords raised up in the air. His eyes glowed as bright as they could, while a flaming dark blue aura surround his blades
"Uuu-aaaah!!! "
Shu yelled, as he pushed Arthur away with a rough and heavy uppercut to then attempt and stand, but by then, it was already too late to stop what was coming.
Without any hesitation in his eyes, muscles, or actions, Ean swung his blades down, slashing through the middle region of Shu's entire torso and abdomen, not before breaking what seemed to be a blue and thin barrier. The cut was deep enough to leave a fatal injury, but not fatal enough to kill him immediately.
The boy's blood would splash everywhere, which stained it with a red color, making Ean close his eyes in regret.
" Are you really losing to a pack of weak dogs? "
Was what a voice whispered in Shu's head, as a being only he could see formed behind him, wrapping its dark transparent colored arms around his neck
" I thought you were the strongest, the prodigy kid who learns everything in a short amount of time. So why is it that he's losing to a bunch of nobodies? "
The voice questioned, as the being laid its chin on Shu's shoulder.
" You're right, why am I losing?... "
Shu thought as a devilish smile grew on the being's face
" My thoughts exactly, so give me control over your body, I'll finish them up for you. Dogs like them shouldn't look down on us "
The voice replied, receiving nothing but a nod from Shu, as that happened the other three children got into a fighting position, turning their attention to each other
" Now that Shu is down, I'm beating the shit out of you two "
Ean said as he held his blades tightly, but although their threat was in front of them, Arthur and Ayami couldn't help but look at Shu, who was kneeling on the ground, with blood dripping from his body and his head down as if he was sleeping.
Their attention was soon shifted though, as Ean appeared in front of them in an attempt to slice them as well, but a diabolic and rageful black pillar of energy formed behind them, interrupting the boys and alerting the adults.
" Oh how odd yet satisfying it feels to finally take control over this body "
Shu said as the pillar vanished. His appearance completely different from his normal state of being, and even his awakening. He had six-inch black horns sticking out of his head, and his nails had grown two inches.
From the lower region of his back, a black tail half his size stuck out, moving around slowly.
His eyes were completely red, and his hair had turned black.
" What's a demon doing here!? "
Ezra yelled before Shu turned his eyes over to the man
" Oh. Your energy is odd, normally one wouldn't be able to feel it, but since I'm a demon, I can easily tell when someone is beginning to attain divine demon energy. How many souls did you eat to achieve that level of divinity? "
Shu questioned, as he found himself in front of Ezra, but his face was soon held onto by Fu
" This, sparring match is over, something unexpected happened "
Fu said as he slammed the boy's head against the ground, knocking him unconscious.
