Hiraku's gaze shifted to his right side,and the sudden flare of a claw scratched his neck. Trickles of blood poured out as hiraku briefly held his neck and clenched his sword firmly.He knew the demon was cunning and a master of concealment. Shutting his eyes he listened. the demon with a sneer,rushed with the wind and flared it's long talons towards Hirakus face but he blocked the impact with his sword. The demon didn't hesitate; it disappeared into the darkness and in a split second Appeared behind his back,but Hiraku was swift enough to swing his sword backwards with the claw colliding with a loud clash. The demon appeared in an adjacent angle with it's right talon flaring upwards ready to strike,but Hiraku swung his sword upwards and cut off its arm,it fell downwards and with a burst of rage hiraku yelled and slashed his sword at the demons face. The demon fell to its back,its mouth became disfigured and grotesque. Hiraku drove his sword into the ground,knowing the battle was won.He knelt on one knee, breathing steadily,His chest rising and falling as the tension eased.
"Hiraku," Lisa said with alarm from the physical plane. "Do you sense that intense power?"
Hiraku couldn't believe it. The demon, which was supposed to disintegrate into a mist and be cast out of the physical realm, slowly stood up. A beam of white light shone down on its form from above. Its face was disfigured, a wide gap where Hiraku's sword had slashed through, but in a few seconds, it healed quickly. The demon stared at Hiraku and smiled mockingly.
It let out a loud growl, and its horn which transformed in a greater kudua caught aflame. Its talons grew longer, and it became even more menacing. Hiraku understood what this transformation meant: the demon had metamorphosed. Its power had evolved. The creature before him was now a celestial demon.
Hiraku stood up, raising his fiery sword upright, ready for battle. But instead of launching an attack, the demon sank its feet into the ground. Slowly, the earth began to give way, engulfing it. Hiraku tried to move, but his feet were stuck. His legs were glued to the ground by a mud-like dark energy. He struggled to break free, but he couldn't move.
Suddenly, the demon sprang from the ground behind Hiraku, grabbing onto his neck from behind with terrifying force.
"Do you know what death feels like?" The demon asked with a gruff voice,Hirakus eyes widened with terror,
"Hell!" The demon snarled. Hiraku struggled to break free,but with each struggle his legs grew weak which caused him to kneel forcibly.The demons grip on him tightened. Hiraku felt a fierce sensation spreading throughout his silver amour and soon he felt it on his skin,after a few seconds a burst of fire engulfed hiraku's body ,the silver armour which protected him from the chest down to his waist burnt away in a crisp.
"Hiraku!" Lisa screamed as she fell to ground in horror,Hirakus flesh was burning away in the physical realm,his mouth gaped open as he screamed in anguish and pain. Lisa knelt down and tried performing a spell of protection,but a invisible force repelled her.
"No,please!" Lisa cried out as the flames continued burning hiraku.
Hiraku could feel that his last moments was near,he looked up ready to give up living,in the moment of hopelessness,a drop of water fell from above the searing light and touched his forehead. It felt like an ocean had watched over him,slowly his skin Began healing,and a new armour began regenerating but it was not silver,it was golden. The demon still held onto hiraku forcefully but the flame slowly quenched away,and in a moment's gaze he saw his brother appear before him with a Gentile smile,and in a moment his brother's spirit faded into the air.
"Brother..." Hiraku said sorrowfully,slowly his expression changed and he shouted in rage. He tightened his grip and stabbed the demon with his sword piercing backwards. The demon loosened it's grip on him as it growled. Hiraku did a 180 degree turn and cut off the demons head. In the physical realm,The demon disintegrated and came out of the woman's mouth, Lisa quickly chanted the entrapment spell,a diamond shaped pebble that glistened red appeared on her forehead,in a few seconds the power emanating from her third eye pulled in the demon into a binding state.

A demonic figure hung in the clouds above the hospital where the exorcism had taken place. The darkness of the night shielded its form like a cloak. It looked down at the hospital in seething rage, its eyes glowing red with fury. It could not fathom the fact that a celestial demon had been banished from the physical plane by a mere mortal. If this news reached its master, it would suffer punishment. The demon could worry about many things and remain calm, but when it came to its master's temper, it particularly felt an intense pressure to satisfy its lord at all costs.
A red demon, resembling a giant bat and standing five feet tall with enormous wings, flew toward the dark figure hanging in the air. It stopped a few paces away from it.
"Master, from what I observed with my dark vision, a human engaged in battle with a celestial demon," the red demon said in a crackled voice.
"What weapon did the mortal wield?" the demonic figure asked, its gruff voice drifting with the wind.
"Err… it was the Sword of the Spirit," the red demon replied with a bow.
"It can't be. I destroyed the last bloodline. How…?!" the demonic figure spoke in a grim tone. "I made sure the bride was destroyed," it continued, its voice tinged with confusion.
"Err, Master, from what I saw through my vision, he was aided by angelic powers," the red demon said anxiously, rubbing its hands together.
"Could he be his descendant?" the demon asked, staring into the vast darkness.
"Descendant of whom, Master?" the red demon asked sheepishly.
"Descendant of a bastard," the demonic figure chuckled slightly. "Let's leave this space," it said, withdrawing its presence from the darkness.
"Oh, yes, Master, as you command," the red demon responded, and they both vanished.
