After Tochi received a brutal attack from Yoru... he would stand up somewhat resentfully, surprised by the power of the attack
"What kind of attack was that? I've never received an attack with such force, not only that... it was so fast... I couldn't react."
-Hana, I'll make time for you to run away," said Tochi while grabbing his right arm from the pain.
"Hana has to get out of here, otherwise, I might die, if with that attack she hurt me a lot, in a long term fight I might even die... I must be careful..."
-I can't leave you alone! -exclaimed Hana worried.
-Don't be silly... If you stay here, you can get seriously hurt, so get out immediately! -He shouted at Hana, making her leave.
"I see he has a good perception, besides, this guy hit a good hit, thanks to him, I will be able to determine how strong his entourage can become" thought Yoru while looking coldly at Tochi.
-Do you plan to let her run away? -Hinotama asked Yoru.
-What... did they intend to do to Hana by threatening her like that? Why did they do something like that? -Tochi asked angrily.
-Why? Because I can and because I want to. I'm free to do whatever I want," Yoru answered in the coldest possible way. -Hinotama, I'll take care of this guy, I'll go for Hana, consider yourself lucky, I'm having some mercy on you.
"Maybe I should put it to the test, but I won't allow Hana to escape...it contains information that could be very valuable to me" I would look at Hinotama "I hope not that you won't disappoint me you jerk."
-Are you sure? This guy wanted to start a fight with you.
-It's not worth it, with that blow I wouldn't be able to kill even a fly. -Yoru said and then began to follow Hana.
"Who the hell does he think he is?"
-Where do you think you are going?
-I guess you work for Hikari," Hinotama asked.
-Hikari, I don't know a Hikari.
"How do you know her, Hikari as mysterious as ever... maybe she's a former partner..."
-Don't play dumb, Hana is the closest friend of hers, it would be absurd if you didn't know her.
-I don't know what your past is with both of them, but I didn't come here to fight, I'm here to save Hana," he said, and then turned around to help Hana... he would try, however, when he turned his back, Hinotama would try to stab him, forcing him to defend himself.
-Don't think I'll let you go..." Hinotama said with a satisfied smile.
-Get away from me! -Said Tochi angrily stamping his foot, which would raise a rock, which would hit Hinotama and drive him away.
-Hinotama, getting up from the ground, sees Tochi emitting a brown glow in his hands, he would drag two huge rocks to crush Hinotama, but he manages to dodge the attack leaving him shocked.
"Earth magic... this may present me with a big problem. I can see why Hikari hired you, to be able to have moved those rocks like nothing you must have many years of experience."
This would not stay that way, as Tochi would hit Hinotama in the same way he hit Yoru with the mace, making him spit blood and sending him flying... already being on the ground, he would avoid being crushed again by a rock.
-I didn't expect you to know how to use earth magic," Hinotama said as he stood up, "How annoying, I thought this would be a little easier.
Hinotama without thinking would launch an attack, causing Tochi to summon a wall of earth, and with it, at the time of hitting it would throw stakes of earth, which Hinotama would dodge very easily, seeing this, Tochi would divide the wall into two large pieces, and then try to crush the demon, luckily, Hinotama would create a ring of fire that would destroy the attack.
"This will be a problem at all times, I have to be vigilant in all directions so I don't get hit by any of their abilities."
"Fire magic, HA, I have a more than clear advantage, earth magic is very effective against fire magic, so victory will be mine!"
-What's the matter, can't you get to attack me? -said Tochi with a smile.
-Maybe you can use earth magic, but I won't let you beat me that easily! -Hinotama said as his sword was surrounded by fire.
Hinotama would throw a slash of fire, which expanded horizontally very quickly to Tochi, this would create a wall that would repel the flames, to then see how the flames incinerated the trees, the demon would take advantage of the distraction of his rival, to attack him, however, he manages to defend himself with a sword of earth... so that, at the moment of touching the ground, some rocks would come out of it to move away Hinotama.
"Luckily I dodged that attack, otherwise I would have been left in ashes."
"How annoying is this guy with his magic What can I do to beat him, in terms of magic, earth magic easily beats fire magic, it all comes down to, whoever has the best combat skills."
-You are at a distinct disadvantage, surrender now! -Tochi would say.
-Whether at a disadvantage or not, I still intend to fight!
Hinotama would launch himself to attack Tochi initiating several clashes with his weapons, even so, the earth mage kept using his magic to keep Hinotama away, which would anger him and he would start cutting the rocks while a trail of fire followed the sword.
-Burn, asshole! -Hinotama said angrily
He would try once again to attack with the same ability, to which he would respond by defending himself by summoning a wall of earth in front of him again... but when he dissolved the wall, he would see Hinotama about to stab him, deflecting the attack by very little, but in the same way, he would be wounded in his right arm and hit with the plane of the sword, being sent flying and stripped of his weapon.
-Damn," said Tochi sore on the floor.
This would not stay like that, Hinotama would continue aggressively attacking Tochi... his movements began to be affected after being wounded... this was so until they both managed to hit each other in the face at the same time, Tochi would move away and then launch an attack that spread across the ground, which Hinotama would avoid it very easily.
"Maybe this is the right time to make him surrender, if I read his moves right, I will have no trouble defeating him, even with the elemental superiority he possesses before me..." Hinotama would put his sword on his shoulder.
-How about if you surrender now, I'll let you go unharmed," said Hinotama.
-Surrender? That only cowards do... I may be wounded, but I can still keep fighting, after all, I only need my magic to keep you away.
-So that's what you think.
-Of course it is.
On the other hand, Yoru was looking for Hana, he had already been trying to find her for several minutes, making him angry, but not until he noticed some footprints, which he would begin to follow, in order to find her.
"I can't let him get away! I have to get information out of him about that Hikari girl. Luckily, her footprints are still marks on the ground... you won't get away from me Hana!"
After a few minutes, Yoru finds Hana lying on a tree all scratched up... with a crystal sphere in her hand, trying to communicate with Hikari, but it was not working.
-Come on, it's working, Tochi is in danger! -said Hana in frustration.
-I think you are too.... -Said Yoru surprising Hana -I found you Hana...
"He found me... Now what do I do?" Hana would take a breath and start running away again "I'll have to use as much of my magic as I can to be able to slow him down, otherwise I won't manage to escape."
-Where do you think you are going? -Yoru said before starting to follow Hana.
In this journey, Hana would start to invoke plants from different places to try to stop Yoru, but he managed to keep running, because he easily broke those invoked plants with his sword, despite that, Hana would try again and again, and again, and again to save himself.
"It's useless, no matter how much I use my magic I can't stop it."
Hana would summon a net of vines that would extend from the ground, this would be effective, as it managed to capture Yoru, giving Hana a little more time to escape... This would also leave Yoru very surprised because it was very sudden and he could not react in time, causing him to get angry and break the vines with brute force.
-Don't think that's enough! -Yoru shouted.
"That manages to stop him a bit, but still... with that speed he has at any moment he'll catch up with me."
"Her abilities are starting to annoy me, it would be easier to catch her if in this part of the forest she had set some trap... trap, I have an idea."
Hana would continue to do the same thing, however, this time Yoru would take a vine, quickly slither along the ground and take a rock, which she would tie to one end of the vine, then take another rock again and do the same with the other end, thus making a makeshift slingshot.
-Oh Hana... I have a present for you," said Yoru while smiling.
Hana would turn to look at Yoru, but at that precise moment she would see the sling approach her feet, capturing her and causing her to fall to the ground.
"When did I make a slingshot, who the hell is this guy!...it's my vines, I used my magic to his advantage!"
-You are very good Hana, but you still didn't manage to escape. -Yoru said as he approached.
Hana would start crawling towards a sandbank near her, take some and hide it from Yoru's sight.
-Are you sure about that? -Hana asked.
-Do you think you are in any situation to escape? -Yoru mentioned as he bent down to look at Hana's face.
-Of course I am! -Hana exclaimed as she threw the sand into Yoru's eyes.
Yoru would be mowed down with a great discomfort in his eyes, moving from one side to the other and trying to get the sand out of his eyes, then Hana would take the opportunity to free herself and escape transformed into a rabbit.
-Fucking bitch! -Yoru said as he wiped his eyes in anger and frustration.
After a few seconds, Yoru would manage to clear his eyes to recover his vision, but when he looked around, he realized that Hana had escaped, which would make him very angry and scream to vent the relentless anger he felt at that moment, these screams would be heard by the red-haired girl, who was hiding in a tree, somewhere in the forest.
-Damn Hana! Just wait until I find you, I'll make you suffer in the worst possible way, you'll pay dearly! -Yoru shouted.
-How scary..." said Hana somewhere in the forest hiding.
"How could I let him get away? I was supposed to be trained so things like this wouldn't happen to me! How I hate this kind of thing!"
-Damn it! -Yoru would hit a tree, sinking it to appease his anger.
"If only he didn't hide his presence, things would be different, you're on my blacklist Hana."
After Yoru's failed attempt to capture Hana, he would return to the place where the fight between Hinotama and Tochi was taking place, which would be stopped for a few brief seconds due to exhaustion... where a desolate panorama was shown, due to the flames and rocks used by both... but, even so, Tochi would continue attacking.
-How much longer do you plan to resist! -Hinotama said after kicking Tochi and knocking him down.
-I will resist as long as necessary. -said Tochi as he stood up in pain. -Come on, is that the best you've got?
-Stop playing with me! -Hinotama said angrily after launching into the attack again.
The fight between Tochi and Hinotama continued, in which Hinotama's movements were not the same, as he had been blinded by anger, causing him to start attacking without control, leaving many gaps in his attacks, which his rival would know how to take advantage of.
"His attacks are no longer well timed, now he looks like a complete novice with the sword, this is my moment... so I can finish him off..."
After a bad move by the demon, Tochi would create a small pillar of earth that would hit Hinotama in the stomach, which would leave him immobilized, taking advantage of the moment to hit him in the head with the mace... this blow would leave him unconscious, besides sending him flying, right at the feet of Yoru, who was already in the fighting area at that moment.
-I guess I was weaker than I thought," said Tochi to Yoru.
-Do you think that matters to me? -Yoru said while moving Hinotama with his foot, to check if he was unconscious -You disappointed me... -I would sigh -Hey Tochi, do you know a person named Hikari?
-Hikari? I don't know anyone by that name.
"Why are you asking so much about Hikari... more important than that, I see that Hana managed to escape... I notice that he is, full of anger, it seems that he is not at all pleased that she escaped.
-Are you sure about that? How do I believe you?
-I'm just an adventurer passing through.
"It's absurd that this guy doesn't know Hikari, because of the way he defended Hana, it shows everything... I can think of something... I could curse him, if I do that it will make Hikari go into despair, taking into account that Hinotama is a demon, he will go for him first, realizing that the source of curse is not him, he will come to me.... besides... Hana will tell him what happened... if he is a person who cares about his friends, upon receiving information from Hana and then seeing Tochi totally hurt, he will feel that this matter is getting out of hand..." Yoru would start to laugh lightly "I'm slowly dragging that person to me, how funny."
-Just an adventurer? -Yoru asked Tochi.
-That's right...
-Then... I don't think she'll mind if I leave a few marks on you..." Yoru said while unsheathing his sword.
"In order to curse him, I only have to hurt him, that won't be a problem, although it would be easier if I could recite the curse, I have to find a way to create a spell for that."
"This is bad, just remembering what he did a few hours ago, makes me tremble, my spirit tells me not to fight him, but... there's no turning back now... I have to fight!"
Tochi, with a lot of courage, would launch himself to attack Yoru, which... would cause him to laugh... Yoru would see Tochi approaching him and would show a mocking smile... and then something would happen that would disconcert Tochi... the black-haired man would disappear from his sight... forcing him to stop...
"But... What?" he would look everywhere terrified "The way he disappeared, it doesn't seem to be speed, it's as if... he teleported!"
-Not bad," said Yoru behind Tochi.
Yoru would mysteriously appear behind Tochi... After that, he would wound him in the back, causing him to fall to the ground kneeling... then lift him off the ground, grabbing him by the shirt, with a smirk on his face.
-When you understand your place, you won't face guys like me again... tell Hikari, I'll be waiting for her," said Yoru, who would then hit him in the back of the head, knocking him unconscious.
"At least I was able to take my anger out on him a little... as for you" He would look at Hinotama's body "I thought you could handle him, I guess you are weaker than I thought, well... maybe I'll think better of it in the future" while looking at the desolate sight. Yoru would take Hinotama and carry him in his arms "How annoying this is, you'll pay me back when you wake up... if I remember correctly, Kingusuburi's kingdom was to the south, that's where we'll stay for a while, while I try to bribe Hinotama to give me access to hell... although on second thought I'll go to the east coast first, I'm starving so I'll hunt a few fish… this is just... The beginning of your perdition".
