As the Creation goes on, a demon emerges from within the forest. It is a female demon, and at first glance she appears as beautiful as a fairy. Yet in the end, she is still a demon—her presence surrounded by an aura as powerful and terrifying as that of a demon king. Now the demon stands before Sora. Upon seeing him, she is momentarily startled and thinks to herself:
"Oh my, even here there is a human child. But how is it that in a place where powerful humans inspire fear, a mere human child dares to appear?"
The demon studies Sora closely and notices that there is no trace of fear on his face! In her mind she muses:
"Oh! Usually, from infancy to old age, every human trembles at the sight of a demon, convinced that their death is at hand. And the dark aura emanating from our very being is more than enough to instill fear in any human—so why is this human not afraid?"
Then, with a creepy smile, the demon laughs and teases Sora:
"Human, have you not felt any fear upon seeing me? Or have you been so overwhelmed by fear that not a single word can escape your lips?"
Hearing this, Sora claps his hands and bursts into laughter:
"HaHaHaaaHaaaHaaa!"
Still laughing, he retorts:
"Come on—you planned to kill me by making me laugh; then speak properly if you can. I will make you feel fear, demon like you! Hahahahaha."
The demon smiles mischievously, letting out a soft, eerie chuckle ("fufufufufu"), and remarks:
"You seem interesting."
Then, her expression turns furious as she declares:
"I had intended to grant you a simple and graceful death. But now, I will give you such an excruciating death that even after you die, you will continue to suffer in pain."
Sora fires back:
"A demon like you would kill me by devouring me—using my flesh and my power to end me. Let’s see how you manage to kill me!"
With an angry glare, the demon snaps:
"You speak nothing but foolish words. It seems you’ve gone mad with fear. But I will not spare you!"
At that moment, the demon begins to fly, raising her two hands in front as she casts a summoning spell:
"Orochi, rise! Fangs and coil, heed my call!"
Her dark aura intensifies, and a portal opens before her. Out of the portal slithers a massive snake with nine heads, each head exuding poisonous smoke. The enormous serpent fixes its gaze on the demon and says:
"What is your command, my lord, Kurayami?"
Kurayami replies:
"Go forth and torture the human before you."
The snake responds:
"Such an easy task. I’m on my way."
It then rushes to attack Sora. Seeing this, Sora exclaims:
"Are you trying to torture me with that? With the help of such a weak snake? Hahahahaha!"
Hearing Sora’s mockery, the snake’s expression hardens in anger as it retorts:
"Human, your nerve is far too great! Just wait and see how thoroughly I will torture you."
Sora then mocks further:
"That’s not all—you’re talking like a coward!"
The snake moves closer and launches its attack, but before the blow can land, Sora commands:
"Kneel down before your lord!"
Immediately, the snake kneels before him. Witnessing this, Kurayami is shocked and exclaims:
"How... how can this be? My summoned snake is kneeling before a child!"
The snake adds, its voice rising:
"Oh! Why can’t I move my own body? Hey, you bastard human, what have you done?"
Sora calmly replies:
"Calm down, calm down. I will not torture you. I’ll give you an easy death—don’t you worry."
The snake snarls:
"You bastard human…"
Before it can finish its threat, Sora crouches slightly, snaps his hand towards the snake, and in that instant, the snake is erased from existence.
