Deep in Shu's mind was a dark figure, smirking as Shu himself began to form an imaginary version of his body
" Why have you come Shu? "
The dark figure questioned as it then took Shu's form, except he was completely the opposite. He had black hair, red eyes and pale skin
" You know why, don't we share the same brain and memories? "
Shu questioned as the black figure chuckled, scratching the back of his head to then tilt it
" So want to make a deal with me.. "
The black figured whispered
" Yes.. "
" And what you want from me is to take over your body once you've reached a point of breakdown, is that right? "
The black figured added as Shu squeezed both of his hands, forming fists that began to tremble
" Yes, that's right "
Shu replied, relaxing the muscles on his hands, allowing his fingers to hang from his palms
" Care to explain why? "
The black figured said, placing his finger in his lips forming an expression of curiosity
" You know why, stop asking questions and just accept my deal—don't you want to leave this place, why are you being so difficult? "
Shu said moving closer to the black figure with a look of anger and desperation in his face
" Yes, I absolutely do—but I also want to make you suffer as well as prove that I am better than you—so explain to me why you want my help "
Shu's lips began to shake and his eyes softened, his body shook a bit as he held back what he wanted to say, never in his life had he experienced this, this feeling of—uselessness.
" I'm weak and I need your help! "
Shu yelled, causing the black figure to smile as he leaned back a little. Of course Shu has fought people way stronger than him and even in those situations he's never called himself weak the way he was saying it now.
Before he had an excuse to be weak, but being weak now could mean the death of all his friends, and not only that but his resent 'reunion' with Lucifer had shaken him up a little, he wasn't in his right mind, not at all.
" Well of course you are, you're the human side of us, humans are weak compare to demons—anyway, get out, leave this space, I don't wanna see your face, the simple sight of it gives me the urge to rip your head off of your body "
Shu glared at him for a bit, but only sighed, realizing his weakness. His attention would then turn to what seemed to be a gigantic dragon frozen in ice
" What's with that thing? "
Shu questioned as the black figure would then turn to look at it, tilting his head a little
" I don't know, I just remember making a deal with it when we were born, it promised us a balanced and fair way to share our body, but it broke that promise so I don't really care to learn more about it, now scram, leave "
The black figured said, shaking his wrist a little, and as that happened Shu opened his eyes, stretching a little to then turn around, seeing everyone meditating
" What the fuck? "
Shu exclaimed to then raise an eyebrow, only to shrug seconds later as he would then raise his left leg, disappearing in a blur of speed, starting to train by himself, swinging his legs and thrusting his arms whilst holding all his power back, causing only slight alterations in the air's movement.
" Oh how the all mighty Fu has fallen!! "
Thyre yelled with a smile across his face whilst he flew toward Fu, raising his leg in an attempt to kick the man, to which Fu raised his guard only to lower it once he felt no pain.
Thyre had swung his leg yes, but in a way so it wouldn't hit Fu, allowing the man to lower his guard, giving Thyre the chance to land a strong hook against Fu's face
" Haha!! Weren't you the best martial artist!?! "
Thyre yelled, spreading his arms only to levitate back somewhat, dodging a few of Fu's attacks, to then close in, in a matter of a second, pulling his arm back and quickly ducking down, dodging one of Fu's attacks.
" Or was your strength your ace? "
Thyre questioned before thrusting his arm forward landing a punch right in the man's gut, relieving him of his air for a few seconds, only to swing his arm up, landing an uppercut on the man's chin
" What's wrong? Not fast enough? "
Thyre said, taunting Fu who would quickly raise his guard, thrusting his arm forward in an attempt to land a jab but Thyre simply slapped his hand away, backing up whilst doing so.
Soon Fu began to hurl a barrage of punches at the man's face, but just like before Thyre would simply slap them or avoid them, with no visible struggle, though every time those punches were avoided or parried, strong shocks would crack the space on which they levitated.
" Come on Fu, remember your— "
" Shut up "
Thyre frowned a little at the man's insult only to back up a little bit more, suddenly stopping as he felt a hard surface press against his back; the man would then turn around to see what it is was, seeing a giant rock.
This small action gave Fu enough time to charge up a meaningful attack
" Flower Tree… "
Fu whispered, causing Thyre to turn his attention back to Fu, who was only inches away from his body, with a fist glowing purple, and a trail of cherry blossoms behind him, indicating that he he had moved there, once in position Fu exhaled and opened his mouth
" April's first blossom.. "
And with that, Fu thrusted his arm forward at such speed that if done on earth most countries would be destroyed due to the sonic boom it'd
make.
Not even light could keep up with the pace of this fist, coupled with Fu's tremor ability the closer it got the more the space around them began to crack; in a way similar to that of the roots of a tree.
Then the punch landed, and it landed with an insane amount of force, which caused an explosion that would make the cracks in space to spread; and as they did cherry blossoms began to spread across the cracks.
The explosion vanished in all that could be seen now was a massive cherry blossom tree made of energy, and at its bottom was an incredibly injured Thyre
" Oh and, yes, I am the best martial artist master Yorujo has ever trained, don't ever doubt that "
Fu declared smirking as he pointed his fist at Thyre who's injuries squirted great amount of bloods
