I swooped down from above invigorated by my new trait. I could feel my blood excitedly pumping throughout my body, I could feel my muscles contracting faster and my bones become stronger as my aura wrapped around them. The imp woman sent a barrage of fireballs at me but even my perception was enhanced as they raced towards me slower than before. I swiftly dodged each of them but the imp woman didn't seem shocked at all and instead of sending more fireballs she wrapped her fists in flames and jumped towards me. I swung my sword at her fiery fists causing both of us to fly in different directions. I stabilised myself in mid air and flew towards the ground after the imp woman. She was still getting up off the ground when kicked her with all the momentum I built up during the fight sending her crashing into a pile of rubble. I flew after her and as I did a sphere of fire erupted from the rubble sending debris flying everywhere but I didn't stop flying and calming slashed any debris that flew my way in two. When I reached the imp, she was standing and looked as strong and fearsome as ever but I could tell she was getting tired. After all, our demonic energy isn't limitless. I slashed down my sword on the imp womans head and she blocked with her fists which were covered in her aura and flames. Undeterred, I continued my assault and for the first time during our fight she was being suppressed. Desperate, the imp opened her mouth to shoot another fiery breath but I kicked her chin causing her head to fly backwards.
A bit disoriented, the woman swayed and I took the chance to stab her in her stomach. The blade went straight through to the other side and she jolted by the pain, she swung her fist at me and I jumped backwards leaving my sword inside her. She attempted to remove the sword but I created a shadow hand behind her holding onto the swords blade. I charged forward with all my strength but I nearly tripped halfway when I felt a strong, familiar feeling in my stomach. Hunger.
'Damnit.' I thought as the hunger pang got stronger but I knew I couldn't stop now so u continued my charge and kicked the sword handle causing it to plunge back into her open wound and spit out blood. As she was skidded across the ground, she grabbed my leg dragging me along with her and punched me in the face. I could feel the hunger pangs get worse and my vision went red as her fist connect with my face.
*Growl*
For a moment my instincts took over and I could feel all my aura rush into my right hand...my claws and then I plunged them into the woman's chest as she stared at me with a shocked look. Soon I pulled my hands out and in it....was the woman's still beating heart.
"Y-yo-you...." But she never completed her sentence as her eyes became dull and lifeless and a notification rang in my mind.

I couldn't concentrate on the system notifications or even jump in joy at seeing my level increase as the hunger pangs grew stronger. My vision was still red which wasn't a good sign, I didn't want to go beserk like before. My eyes were soon drawn to the warm heart in my hand and I could feel my fangs growing longer and soon all hesitation was lost as I plunged my fangs into the heart. Soon only an empty husk of a once vibrant heart remained which I threw to the side. I felt better but the hunger pangs remained although much less painful and soon my eyes was drawn to the now deceased owner of my previous meal.
