10 Haunted mansion

A little further away from the main city, a beautiful mansion stood in the open, merely surrounded by a couple of trees and grass. Normally, such a building would've been a sight to see and enjoy, except, the thick demonic miasma the occasionally perfused out of it scared almost every human away.

'Rustle…'

'Rustle..'

Amidst the rustling of grass stalks, two figures walked out with terrified expressions, a young boy about 5 years old and a little girl.

"Brother! We have to go help big brother..that demon will hurt him!" The little girl cried out, while her brother, being somehow clearheaded managed to somehow control his emotions and remain cool.

"It's alright. I believe that a good person will help us save big brother from that demon, don't cry.."

He knelt and wiped the tears from her eyes with a reassuring smile, yet only he knew the tears he was holding back behind the facade.

Raising their heads, both of them gazed at the beautiful mansion before them, but right then and there, the mansion suddenly shook, as an intense amount of demonic energy burst out, scaring the two children into the forest.

Peeping through the blades of glass, their worried expressions were evident, until they witnessed two figures walking towards the building in a relaxed manner.

In the lead was a handsome silver haired youth covered in tattoos. His black and white sleeveless Komodo did nothing to hide the blood thirst his his whole body emanated. On his face was a cruel grin, as if his hands were stained with blood of millions.

However, by his side was a beautiful long haired woman dressed in a purple Komodo standing respectfully and in awe.

"Brother look. They're here to help!" The young girl's enthusiasm was evident, however her brother couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine when he looked at those emotionless eyes of the silver haired youth.

Slowly turning her head, Tamayo quickly noticed the two kids hidden within the bush, and felt a tug in the strings of her heart.

She quickly nodded and signalled them with her eyes, which the boy was easily to recognise. He then quickly grabbed his sister and hid behind a large tree.

"I did tell you, Tamayo..I can feel it. It's here."

The young man, Ryoumen Sukuna spoke with a small smile, before he placed his hand on the door of the mansion and gently jerked it forward.

*BANG!*

Getting ripped from its hinges the door was sent flying into the mansion as dust flew everywhere.

Placing his hands in his pockets, the king of curses walked in without a stagger, unconcerned by the terrible demon miasma that shrouded the entire place, while Tamayo followed by his side obediently.

"Not bad at all. I think I'll keep this place.." He scanned around and commented with a smile, as he turned towards Tamayo who nodded in reply.

Walking unconcernedly within the mansion, not even sparing the decapitated bodies and blood mess that littered the floor a glance.

After walking a few meters, Sukuna suddenly halted his steps and raised a brow.

"You've been watching us for a while, I'd show myself if I were you.." He merely glanced towards his left and spoke in a ridiculing tone.

"You! You're human, yet I can sense demon energy within you. Who are you, and what do you want?!"

Two grotesque and rather large demkns appeared before Sukuna, one of whom was humanoid but crawled with its large four arms. The other looked rather large and animalistic as it's eyes glared at the figure of the king of curses with a hint of fear and excitement.

"Oi follow me. I'm exploring the nice mansion.."

Walking right past them as if they were nothing but ants, Sukuna waved his finger, gesturing for them to follow him while he and Tamayo walked ahead.

"Who the hell do you think you are?!!"

"Die!!!"

The two devils launched respective attacks, the humanoid one opened its mouth and shot out its tongue like a projectile, while the large one brought its palms together and summoned a rather large energy sphere which it instantly shot towards Sukuna and Tamayo.

"Idiots.."

Turning around with a cruel gaze, Sukuna merely stretched his palm towards the incoming attacks.

*BANG!*

Getting his arm completely blown apart from the attacks, he was still unharmed by the collaborative attack, and much less so was Tamayo who stood behind him calmly.

"What? You guys don't like walks? Too bad." As he spoke, his blown arm began squirming and regenerated almost as quickly as it had been destroyed.

"I heard this saying a couple of days ago, that demons normally love to hide in their nests. In that case…."

Before his words even ended, Sukuna reappeared before the two demons like a ghost, before both of his arms stretched out with immense strength, grabbed them by the jaws and smashed them into the ground with full force, shattering the wood and concrete floor instantly.

"You die here.." Turning to look at both of them with a cruel smile, he couldn't help but reel in the pleasure of their struggle and weakness.

"Come on. Don't tell me that's it? Try harder, come on.."

He ridiculed them, which did nothing but anger the two proud demons.

"Damn you!!!"

The humanoid one jumped up in fury and shot out its tongue once more, and like a spear, it pierced through the air at incredible speed, ripples materialising from the friction in the air.

Holding up to fingers, Sukuna simply clawed out, and the piercing tongue was immediately cleaved into two accompanied by a spurt of blood.

"Arghhhh!"

A shrill scream resounded, however the larger demon tried taking advantage of the situation and sneakily appeared behind Sukuna, grabbed him by the foot and spun his figure, ready to smash him into the cold hard floor.

"Oh?"

Taken by a teeny bit of surprise, Sukuna raised an eyebrow, and as the creature spun him in the air, an invisible slash suddenly swept out, cleaving through its arm in almost an instant.

"Oi. Even a cursed spirit would lose its arm right?"

Calmly seated on a rock while holding onto the hand on the demon, a deranged laughter escaped Sukuna, while the demons cowered in fear.

"It was nice playing with you.."

Sukuna walked towards them with his arm stretched, and right as he was about to put an end to their miserable lives, he turned towards a certain direction and raised his brow in surprise.

*DUM!*

With the sound of a drum, the whole building began to move, twisting and turning, while the king of curses stood watched it all happen with a smile on his face.
