| The oni stood from his kneeling position on the ground, just before a large blade that pierced through the earth. It was in the middle of a clearing of Western Forest, an area that had been destroyed of all vegetation. The grass here was crisp and crunchy beneath the feet, grayed and yellowed with time. Shou kept his gaze fixated on the sword that marked his own human body's gravestone, never forgetting his roots. The oni hesitated for a moment before pulling forth Mabushiiken, the katana he had been gifted by his kamikonjou companion. She wasn't with him now as she still had preacherly duties to attend to. She made some pretty decent money off spreading the word of Bleaus. Shou considered himself, not having made a dime outside of selling drugs in his time, the money having gone to his own personal usage of certain substances. He held the katana out before him, looking to the hilt of the blade before traveling along the metal that reflected the moon's soft light. Atilla had found salvation from the path of chaos demons tredded upon. Shou cursed inwardly, knowing such a route would eventually cause his own destruction, especially living upon the realm of humans. Perhaps he could find his own salvation, within the blade, the last remnant he had of his mortal life. If he could remind himself once more what it was to be human, then perhaps he could show some empathy to the residents of Earth. The oni chuckled lightly to himself, sighing as he ran a hand through the red strands of his crimson hair. Was he really starting to tame himself? And for what sake.. for Atilla, maybe? "Evil is contagious.. heh.. so is she.." Shou admitted to himself, before the place suddenly lit up and he widened his eyes, turning around to face an oncoming flame. The area was blasted by the force, the ground's dead earth coming to form as smoke of the area before it settled away and cleared quickly. Shou stood with the katana before him in a defensive stance, guarding his gravestone. A growl emitted from the Shou's gritting teeth, "It doesn't matter who you are, attacking me here's going to get you killed on the spot." The oni leaned forward, glaring with his crimson orbs to the other before him. "You're ready for round three so soon?" The other oni simply smiled as he took a step forward, black flames swirling around his being. "So confident. Have you gotten stronger? Heehee! Maybe you're finally worth fighting for real then." The dark flame spirit replied, his teeth flashing in a grin. Shou replied with a snicker, taking his own advancing step. "I've gotten real strong!" His fists clenched at his sides, matching the other's anticipated expression of the fight. "Lets do this!" Shou roared, before thrusting his arms outwards to his sides, fires flaring off of his limbs. "Infernal flames! Sharpen your form!" The flames took flight in the air around him, shaping and molding into the form of five fiery scimitars that spun around his form. They then quickly halted, their tips pointing out towards the target that didn't seem to be phased for the moment. "Heheh!" Each blade shot outwards one after another. The dark haired oni kicked off the ground as one scimitar stabbed into the ground before him, then flaring off. He then bent at the waist, throwing his head back as one passed over where his torso had been located. Two more were on route to stab through the man's unguarded knees, but he kicked off the ground into a leap, even in his awkward position, and spun his legs out from harm's way. The opponent then rose a single arm up swiftly as the final blade of fyre disappeared in a blast before that arm, the oni seeming to have no trouble blocking the hit. "At least there's some force behind your attacks now. Lets see how you fare on the defense. Unholy fires, lash your rage to this little flame." The dark haired other rose his arm through the air as jagged waves of flames shot out from his arm towards Shou's position. The oni growled lightly, kicking off the ground and taking to flight atop a disc of flame, spinning out of the way of the foremost attacking waves, before eventually caught on a jag and taking a hit from one of the black fires. He grunted as he was pushed back by the force, though unrelenting as he shot forward towards the other on his disc. "Infernal flames! Forth and destroy!" Ahead of him, a line of molten fire shot out more rapidly than he moved, arriving at the target first. It surrounded the target's area before blasting forward into the air, doming around the spot. The flames then shot downwards, crashing inward on itself and the other oni that was in the middle. Shou then rushed forward, pulling Mabushiiken forward and taking several slashes into the air before him. All hits were accompanied by a light 'swish' noise as his opponent moved and dodged each hit. "Bastard!" Shou shouted out, drawing the Mabushiiken back before it flashed forward in a wide, deadly arc. The other oni took a step back and leaned against his heels, passing just out of range from the attack. "Bastard? Heehee.. no, thats not right." The dark-haired man suddenly stepped forward as a blast of heat shot out from his form and sent Shou back from the intensity of it, wincing as he would experience the damage any normal soul would. The fyre spirit landed back down onto his feet, glaring in the direction of the giggling demon. "My name is Aflamo Inferne. My elder brother is the man who turned you into a demon." The dark haired man chuckled, sliding forward on a foot. "The man who killed you as a human. We've grown interested in you." Shou's eyes widened at that. This other fyre spirit who had continued to appear and toy with him was related to that bastard? It was strange, as this man represented a flame he could not defeat, and the elder brother was a blade he couldn't match. Even here, at the pinnacle of his fyre prowess, he was having trouble against this dark flame user. And back when he was a human, honed in the skills of the blade, he had failed again. "So its you two, is it.." Shou muttered lightly, gripping the hilt of the blade tightly in his grasp. A growl escaped his lips, as he focused his crimson orbs onto the other. "Out of all the oni, I despise that one the most! I will definitely kill him!" Shou shouted, a flame raging out around his form. Inferne seemed displeased, a frown coming onto his face as he tilted his head to the side. "That's unfortunate. We'd hoped to make you a deal. A deal for power." The man then grinned widely. "If you want to find my brother, you can only seek him out in hell. He doesn't tred on the Earth too much. The demon city, Arden. That's where you should head." The fyre oni grunted. Was he trying to tempt him with power, or was he simply revealing the location of his kin so that Shou could have his sought after revenge? Both were alluring. "Don't think this'll change things here!" Shou shouted, dashing forward and swiping his blade through the air only to cut through dark flames that flared out on the spot. The oni's eyes narrowed. "He got away..?" Shou was answered by the reappearance of black flames to his right before a set of feet dropkicked him against the side of his face, whipping his head back as he fell to the ground from the impact. Inferne's body emerged from the mass of dark fire, giggling to himself. "Heehee.. I wish to test your flames out just a little bit further. You don't mind, right?" The fyre spirit stood to his feet, wiping away at the area he had been struck, issuing a light growl into the air. "You're right. I can't wait to roast you!" | |
