8 8: Clashing With A Demon
....
The demon was shocked by itsuki's actions but it also felt pissed.
Was this bastard looking down on him? This was the first time a demon slayer had looked down on him, what was so special about this kid.
Puchi!!
Saw like blades revealed themselves from the demon's three arms as they bulged with muscles and veins, it shot off the ground and rushed towards itsuki.
"Die so I can devour you" it's demonic laughter slowly entering itsuki's ears.
"Auntie Li, watch as I kill this demon... and the rest in this world" itsuki roared as his katana raised up in the air like a pole.
The approaching demon felt a cold feeling as it raised its fists to clash with itsuki.
It's fists turned into dozens of shadows as they shot forward, creating a flurry of fist shadows.
Tch!
Itsuki clenched his teeth, a cold breath released from his mouth as he watched the attack approach.
Swoosh!!
His katana descended like an avalanche as it came down with a shivering aura.
Boom!!
The fist shadows landed on the sword, but it didn't stop there, they continued coming.
Itsuki's sword didn't stop either, it continued clashing with the fist shadows, waiting for a moment to strike back.
"What the f*ck?" The demon pulled back its fists as it felt a pain, since when did a normal sword like that deal damage to its demon body?
As it looked at its fists, it was covered in a ice plate, which was slowly seeping into his body.
"Tsk" it jumped back as it slammed its fists into the charred walls of the orphanage, blasting it apart along with the ice.
Itsuki didn't stop there, his katana flashed as he rushed forward, his sword like the fleeting snow as it left the demon cornered.
Boom!!
Even so the demon continued unleashing it's fist attacks, but as the battle continued it felt a sense of crisis.
Something was wrong.
This f*cker was actually getting stronger during the battle? Each one of itsuki's slashes were like terrifying grabs that left its life handing on a line.
"You are far weaker than I expected" itsuki said expressionlessly, although his hands were shaking, his physique was indeed incomparable to the demon, but his ice breathing durability made up for it, causing even more impact to the demon.
"Shut up" the demon's eyes turned red as it roared, its pride taking over, it couldn't wait to bite itsuki into pieces.
Swoosh!!
What greeted it was the slow yet heavy slashes of a katana, continuously sending it back.
"F*ck, if only I had a blood demon art, I gotta get outa here, I can't die yet" the demon became anxious, after being sent back again it immediately decided to flee, it knew it couldn't continue this battle, itsuki's ice would only weaken it the more it fought.
"You want to leave?" Itsuki rushed forward, his sword continuing in his advance as he slashed forward.
"NO" the demon shouted, it couldn't flee and attack at the same time, it had definitely f*cked up this time..
Puchi!
The sound of blood spilling was heard as the demon's tattered clothes were pierced, a bloody gash appeared behind it.
Boom!!
It then slipped on the ice covered ground behind falling face-first into the ground, leaving it completely defenseless.
"This is for Auntie Li and all the kids in the orphanage" itsuki roared coldly as his sword slashed out, aiming for the neck.
The demon turned around in fear, the crushing aura above it gave it no room to think about even fleeing from this attack.
"F*ck" it raised all three of its bulky arms as it attempted to block.
Puchi!!
Itsuki's iron katana became covered in a terrifyingly cold ice in a split second as it slashed at the demon.
In a split second dozens of terrifying cuts appeared all over its arms and its body, sending it into a blood pulp.
"Die" itsuki said coldly as he noticed it remove its arms due to the unbearable pain.
Swoosh!
The sound of blood spraying was heard once again as the demon fell down, its whole body laying in terrifying cuts and bone chilling ice, even its corpse was turning white due to the terrifying coldness of the sword.
Without caring about the demon, itsuki kneeled in front of Auntie Li, after picking her up, he went to the shed to get a shovel before lifelessly digging a whole and burying her.
He took his time, carefully, and burried the kids all beside her.
Many people in the town watched him do this, a few even came to help, but were stopped by itsuki.
"They died because of my carelessness, this is the least I can do"
In the end the towns people helped clear the area and stop the burning fire, they left the demon body untouched.
A figure appeared atop a building in the distance, a mask on its face as it leaped skillfully towards the scene atop the houses.
