"Damn it. That bastard is fast. Like a cockroach or something."
Tou continued his spring toward Julian. But, as expected, his travel was interrupted.
[Cast: Stone Wall]
A wall of stone rose from the ground. Tou abruptly stopped.
"Damn it.
He sliced through the stone wall, destroying it. There was someone behind it.
"I see why Master seemed so worried."
It was a demon with grey skin, bright orange eyes, and black hair. Her horns protruded from the sides of her head.
She wore a large, black cloak with silver armor underneath. On her back rested a large sword.
[Cast: Flame]
She held her sword. The markings along it ignited into flames. She dashed at Tou.
"Ha!"
Tou ducked.
The demon swung her sword too hard, moving her out of balance.
Tou took advantage of this. He grabbed her by the collar.
"You shouldn't make any large movements."
He slammed her into the ground, head first.
"Jeez. That was easier than the other guy."
Tou began to walk.
"Not so fast!"
The demon got back up.
"How did she... move so fast?"
[Cast: Pressure]
Tou felt a heavy weight pressing against him.
"Try to handle this! The weight of 5000 tons!"
"You'll need at least a million tons to stop me."
Tou dashed at the girl, slower.
She picked up her sword, slashing at Tou.
A direct hit! Tou grits his teeth.
He picked his sword back up, going into a defensive stance for the first time.
"Don't regret this decision of yours!" the demon smirked, dashing at him.
[Cast: Flame: Serpent Dance]
The movement of her sword became... snake-like. Moving such a large sword so swiftly is a challenging feat.
The sword came pounding, striking Tou's sword fiercely.
"How long do you think you'll be able to hold that pressure of yours?"
"Huh?-"
The demon had been confused for a second. And in that second, Tou struck.
It was a low blow, coming for the legs.
Quickly, the demon lowered their sword to shield their legs. She retreated, panting.
The pressure started to fade. 4000 tons.
"I feel a lot lighter."
[Cast: Flame: Bite]
The demon zipped toward Tou, her sword burning especially bright. She held it as if she was about to throw it.
Tou thought. "What a strange swordsman."
Another direct hit!
It pierced straight into Tou's chest.
"Fuck!"
Tou groaned, pulling the sword out of his chest and throwing it to the side.
After a bit of flexing, the bleeding stopped.
"This is such an uncomfortable way of doing this..."
"Are you... r-really a human?" the demon asked, in awe and fear.
"Pick up your sword."
The demon snapped out of fear, quickly scrambling to reach her sword.
Shik!-
Her head fell to the ground.
