The demon laughed wickedly as she stared Okami down. Having claimed his scythe, Inferno, the demoness was thinking of all kinds of ways to make Okami pay for burning her flesh.

         "Ha ha ha! Stupid hybrid! Your scythe is mine now!" she laughed, holding Inferno out. Okami was unfazed. In fact, he grinned darkly at her, arms crossed. The demoness glared at his mocking posture. "What's with that stupid smile?"

        "The stupid one isn't me. Take a look for yourself," he said, pointing at her hand gripping Inferno. The demoness looked down and saw her arm instantly catch fire! The fire trailed up her arm as if having a mind of its own. But, the demoness couldn't release Inferno! The flames reached all over her, burning her alive mercilessly! Okami looked at her with a condescending look. "Of course you're the stupid one. All angelic weaponry is blessed, including mine. Any unholy creature that dares pick up my scythe..."

       Okami took Inferno as the demoness' ashes fell to the earth.

        "Will become nothing but a pile of ash," he finished, looking at the ashes falling to the earth.

        However, this wasn't the end. Risika was fighting her own battle against the first demon. They struck and clashed, blocking each other's blows swiftly. The demon was tired of the fight and moved in a flash. Risika sensed for his aura.

        Stab! The demon came from behind and impaled Risika with his clawed hoof. The demon thought he'd finished her, but Risika was already a step ahead. Dripping down from her wound was water instead of blood! The demon didn't have time to react before Risika's body burst into a funnel of water! She reappeared in the waves to the demon's surprise and fear. Holding out her hand, she summoned her weapon.

        Summon, Blizzard!  A majestic bow made of ice and ice crystal appeared in a bright light, the light casting rainbow prisms from the crystals. Arrows materialized in her hands as she lifted three arrows back on the bow's cord.

        Whoosh! The three arrows launched at the speed of sound! Before the demon could think, the three pierced his body! The three arrows then ignited into golden flame, overtaking the demon's whole body! Risika lowered her bow, slightly. She turned her gaze slightly at the two demons left.
