Looking at the man who had attacked them, Megumi felt sweat trickling down the back of his neck, his fingers tightening into his palm as he analyzed the situation.

One second? No, it had been less. Naoya had attacked Todo in less than a second, at a speed that Megumi struggled to follow.

This scared the dark sorcerer even more when he noticed that Todo showed no signs of getting up anytime soon.

'He hit a vital point.' Megumi pressed his lips together, his eyes turning to see Naoya with a satisfied smile. 'Damn, I need to find a way to escape with Kugisaki.'

"What do you want?" Megumi asked with a hint of irritation, deciding to try to get some information out of the enemy and figure out why he had attacked them.

Maybe he had a chance to bargain.

"You don't know? Damn, my expectations were low, but you still managed to disappoint me." Naoya mocked, causing a vein to bulge on Megumi's forehead. "Well, I'll explain it only once, so listen carefully, you trash.

It seems that somehow, you've been declared the leader of the Zenin clan, so I decided to come here and congratulate you. Doesn't that sound nice?"

Megumi narrowed his eyes, turning to see a bruised Todo not far away.

"That doesn't seem like a good way to congratulate someone," Nobara spoke, her eyes widening in disbelief as Naoya vanished in a flash step, a hand landing firmly on her shoulder.

"Hey." Turning around, she noticed Naoya staring at her with a slight smile. "Why don't you shut up for once?"

"Kugisak-"

Megumi tried to move, but even his words were too slow as a fist struck Nobara's stomach, blood spraying from her mouth as she was thrown away.

"Ugh..." Naoya shook his hand to rid it of the blood, his expression irritated. "Normally, I treat women with a bit more... 'delicacy.' But today, I'm a little pissed off."

Megumi growled, his hands coming together in anticipation as he seemed ready to summon. "Congratulate me? Don't make me laugh!"

"Ha! It seems you saw right through me, how surprising!" Naoya clapped, a clear tone of mockery in his words. "I'm not really here to congratulate you. In fact, even saying it makes me sick..."

!

Megumi's eyes widened as Naoya suddenly closed the distance, a shadow appearing beneath his feet, allowing him to slide back and dodge a punch.

"I'm here to kill you!"

Struggling to block a punch, Megumi gritted his teeth as a barrage of blows landed on his face. 'He's too fast!'

Trying to fight through the wave of attacks with his own punch, Megumi gasped as his liver was struck.

"Damn, I thought you were going to be more interesting!" Naoya declared disdainfully before shoving the sorcerer away with a kick. "But you can't even react to my attacks."

Megumi wiped the blood from his lips, a forced smile forming as he turned to Naoya, the thin veins in his eyes becoming more prominent as he clasped his hands together.

'If I can't keep up with him, then I just need someone who can!'

Naoya raised an eyebrow at this, noticing how a pool of shadow appeared in front of the boy.

"Divine Dog: Totality!"

With a claw emerging from the shadows, Naoya narrowed his eyes as a werewolf fully revealed itself. "Seems like you've got some interesting tricks up your sleeve!"

And disappearing in a flash step, Naoya charged at the wolf. "But that doesn't change anything!"

!

Just as he was about to strike the shikigami, Naoya's eyes widened as the wolf attacked before he could reach it, causing him to halt his momentum and retreat with a quick movement. 'Did it see my movements?'

Turning to Megumi, Naoya clenched his teeth as he noticed the sorcerer smiling disdainfully at him, the veins on his forehead standing out as he seemed to grow angrier. "You bastard! You think this mutt is going to help you?! I'll show you!"

Bursting toward the wolf, Naoya skillfully dodged the shikigami's claws and landed a solid punch on its stomach, the werewolf being pushed back with a mark on its abdomen.

'It can perceive my movements, but it can't keep up with me!' Naoya smiled, dodging another claw as he unleashed a flurry of attacks on the wolf. 'What a joke!'

As he continued his assault, ready to finish off the shikigami by stabbing its chest, Naoya's eyes widened when suddenly, something slimy wrapped around his wrist. He turned his head to see what appeared to be a tongue.

"This isn't one-on-one," Megumi declared with disdain, causing Naoya's eyes to widen.

!

But before he could try to escape, the divine dog was quicker, its claws tearing into Naoya's chest and sending him flying.

But the attack didn't end there as Megumi's frog's tongue pulled Naoya towards him, Megumi punishing him with a flurry of blows before sending him flying with a kick.

"You bastard!" Naoya growled as he steadied himself, spitting out some blood before charging at Megumi.

The younger sorcerer narrowed his eyes at Naoya's rapid movement, his hands already together in anticipation as he seemed to prepare.

Even though he couldn't properly keep up with the Zenin's movements, Megumi still demonstrated a combat sense that caught Naoya by surprise. Because the moment Zenin reached him, a pool of darkness appeared beneath his feet, causing him to lose his balance.

!

"Nue!"

Seizing the moment, Megumi quickly summoned his flying shikigami, which aggressively struck Naoya, the impact sending him flying back while the electricity served to immobilize him for a moment.

"Now!"

Megumi charged along with the divine dog, the sorcerer grabbing a black sword that emerged from a pool of shadows.

!

But just as they seemed about to reach him, Megumi's eyes widened in horror as Naoya disappeared in a flash step, the divine dog beside him being sent flying.

'He can move even when electrocuted?!' Megumi turned in an attempt to defend himself, but there was nothing he could do as Naoya's palm touched his chest. 'Damn!'

With his body becoming the frame of a picture, Naoya spat out some blood before glaring at Megumi in irritation. "You trash, all of this was nothing but luck."

And imbuing his fist with cursed energy, he prepared. "But it doesn't matter! In the end, there's only one outcome!"

Boom!

Striking the frame, Megumi flew as he vomited blood, his back crashing violently to the ground.

'Damn, I was too hasty!' Ignoring the excruciating pain that coursed through his body, Megumi got up to see Naoya already charging at him. 'I need to move!'

Clap!

"..."

Blinking, Megumi seemed confused when he found himself looking at Naoya from afar, turning to see a smiling Todo beside him.

"That first hit got me good." Todo wiped the blood from his lips, his expression hardening as he took a step forward. "Hey, idiot from the clan of idiots...

What's your type of woman?"
