(WARNING! THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING:

-  Violence

Automatically after I prayed for the old man to live an awesome after-life in paradise, I turned my head directly where the demon was. As I expected, he was standing with his two feets, ready to fight again. He had the time to regenerate his arm and his head unfortunately for me. I need to find a way to kill him. Cutting off all the parts of his body at the same time? Try to exhaust him so much that he dies of it? I’ll need to try all of my hypotheses right now in this fight. As he was about to be in position, I struck first with a beautiful punch in his face. Compared to my sensei, instead of flying really far away, simply his head flew away and he also punched me, but this time in my shoulder.  I heard my arm cracked, but I didn’t feel much pain. I instead went really far away, destroying at least 5 houses in my way. Luckily, nobody was in those houses. At least, there were no more victims than the old man for now… I just didn’t understand how he was always keeping up with me so easily without even damaging himself a lot. I need to think of something… Wait! I didn’t really use the magic power that my mark can do… Hehe, now it’s going to be interesting! 

I pulled my sword again and I concentrated my magic on the sword. Suddenly, the sword was now full of blue flames. So that’s the power of my demon mark… Blue flames… I don’t know what those flames could do, but I will find out really soon. As the demon was suddenly surprised, I benefited from his inattention to strike directly in one of his legs with the sword covered with this new power that I obtained. I was so fast that he didn’t even notice my presence until I cut off one of his legs. Instead of regenerating fastly, it took him some time before being able to finally start to regenerate his leg, but it was slower than before. Interesting… My flames can make him regenerate a part of his body slower than normal… That is clearly going to change the game… Watch out demon, you’re probably going to die! 

“HAHAHAHA, WHAT AN INTERESTING BATTLE!” He screamed while laughing. 

What the… Is he… happy about losing? He is definitely planning something bad… Really bad… But what? He didn’t let me think that he rushed me again. I simply cut him in half, but something really unexpected happened. Instead of falling down and probably regenerating, he divided himself in 2. 

“WHAT THE…”, I was about to say, surprised. 

They both punched me directly in the face in the same spot. I went really far away, so far that I hitted a stone wall. It’s after getting up that I realized that it was one of the sides of the cave. It’s impressive. He has so many different abilities. But… I’m a demon too. So I might also have all these abilities.  And, what was the old man talking about when he said that I was the child of the prophecy? Am I… That much special? Like, I know that I’m a demon and not a human like my sensei, but… The child of the prophecy? What prophecy? Was the old man lying? I mean… He died to save me, but… Wasn’t he just crazy? He said that he was my sensei's friend. I don’t even know, even after his death, if he was lying or not…  He was very strange. By his age, I really doubt that he is the friend of my sensei… I should go ask him. I mean, my sensei told me that he had no friends and that the only person that he’s talking to was me. Hmmmm… I will think about it later, because now, I have a way more important duty to do! 

I then started by getting up slowly. I didn’t have the time to completely get up when one of the two demons slashed my arm with an incredible speed.

“AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH” I screamed.

His hand was now sharp as a katana. My arm was almost completely cut in half. It was hurting so much. I was feeling like I was burned alive. I couldn’t move. I wished my sensei was there with me so he could help me in this situation… WHAT AM I SAYING!? I’M A DEMON TOO,  AND I WILL SHOW HIM AND MY SENSEI THAT I CAN FIGHT WITHOUT ANY PERSON TO HELP ME AND TO COVER ME! My mark then started to burn and expand even more. My mark was now on fire. But not a normal fire. The fire was blue, like my attack of before. Normally, it was supposed to be black like in the fight with my sensei. Does it mean that… I can finally master my mark? My arm then started to regenerate. It wasn’t hurting anymore. The demon, or should I say those 2 demons, didn’t have the time to be surprised by how quickly I regenerated that I was already behind them. I was so fast. I then tried to concentrate all of my energy on my right hand. My mark then went on my hand and it was burning even more, but I didn’t care about that pain. I was feeling so strong now. The other demon was finally able to react and he saw me behind his friend. He didn’t have the time to tell his friend that I was behind him that my punch was already perforating through his heart. An explosion of blood came out of the hole in his chest. Even then, it was still not enough. The demon then turned his head and looked at me, with a horrifying smile. 

“Oh? You thought that you could kill me?” He said. “Sure, speed is something really scary, but you know what is even more scary? Immortality!”

He then started to laugh. It was taking all of my attention so his partner had the time to slash both of my legs at the same time. It was weird… I didn’t feel any sensation of hurting… But something really weird happened. The demons started to be confused about something else. It was like they were thinking about something. What are they thinking about? I then regenerated my legs and benefited from their inattention to both cut their head off with my katana with an incredible time. They can hit me as much as they want, but I can at least shoot back! That’s why I’m going to find a way to kill them before they can kill me!
