"How dare you, you pest!" Tuwile glared at Seo Hana, who had a lost expression on her face but, at the same time, her fighting spirit burned brighter than any other. This was the first time a person's aura took shape while they were conscious and in the middle of a battle, because the aura just gets shaped inwardly or explodes outward for a split second before the person loses consciousness due to severe exhaustion.
But Seo Hana was standing still while her aura was taking shape; it was a phenomenon that shouldn't be possible for humans, or so it was thought.
"You're noisy." Seo Hana mumbled under her breath and disappeared. She reappeared behind Tuwile, who was ready for it and elbowed her, but she disappeared again. Tuwile didn't lose his composter that returned after being knocked to the ground once, and he turned back thinking that she would appear behind his back again. Since he couldn't find her, he began to search for her by looking around, but then, again, in an instant, he was staring at the ground. He was shocked and dumbfounded by what happened, but before he could come to a proper conclusion,
BOOM!
His face was slammed against the ground, and from the impact, a 10-foot-wide crater appeared beneath his head. Without minding the grumbling sounds coming from beneath, Seo Hana just stood on Tuwile's head while staring down at him with a lost look on her face. But the claw marks that were on her face were healing while the blood dripping down from her face was so hot that it was melting everything that it dripped on.
There were even a few that were dropped into the back of Tuwile's head; though painful, he ignored them because regeneration was something he was good at, even when compared to the other high-ranked demons in the demon domain.
Suddenly, Tuwile released his grip and tensed his palm.
WHOOSH!
Seo Hana kicked off from the back of Tuwile's head and jumped in the air to avoid the sword, which had dropped out of Tuwile's grip when she had kicked him earlier, that came at her, cutting through the air while swinging horizontally.
Tuwile used the opportunity he created to get back and be on guard against the human pest that was seemingly on par with him.
"I shall stop underestimating you, human girl." Tuwile said, and Seo Hana's gaze trembled when she heard his choice of words.
He dared to call her a "girl." A girl! That wasn't meant to be disrespectful, but Seo Hana despised being called that; if it had been any other time, she would have beaten the sh*t out of him without thinking twice, but she wasn't in the right frame of mind to care right now, and her trembling gaze was just a subconscious action, but even then, the aura surrounding her got a slight but abrupt boost that Seo Hana wasn't even aware of.
'Her aura can still burn fiercer?' Tuwile thought, and for the first time in his life, he wanted to fight the woman in front of him with everything he had, and he wanted to let that woman know what despair really feels like.
Unbeknownst to Tuwile, the reason Tchort still kept Tuwile in the ranks was exactly because he had never seen Tuwile fight against anyone seriously. And his persistence in not fighting back intrigued Tchort and continued to keep him in the high ranks even when he knew that he was being beaten to the brink of death on a daily basis. Of course, there was a reason for Tuwile to be in the high ranks; it was because he was "interesting," and that was it.
He at least had to be interesting; it wasn't like Tchort didn't have plenty of weaklings under him already. If a demon in the ranks was weak like Tuwile, they would be killed, no exceptions whatsoever. It always seemed like there wasn't anybody that was able to incite Tuwile's fighting spirit, rage, or his basic demonic instinct to kill and destroy. Tchort was curious to see how and what would happen if Tuwile fought seriously for the first time.
BAM
WHOOSH
Tuwile kicked off the ground, leaving behind a 5-foot-wide crater beneath his feet, and zoomed towards Seo Hana, in front of whom he instantly appeared with a wide, ominous, savage grin on his face and swung down his sword at her diagonally with all the force and weight he could muster up in that instance.
WHOOSH
Seo Hana took a step to the side and dodged his attack, and she noticed that his sword swing was able to cut off her fighting spirit even though it wasn't really Tuwile's intention.
BOOOOOMMM!
A loud "boom" resounded in the area when Tuwile's sword swing's mana arc came in contact with the half-broken building, and when she glanced at it, she thought that she should stop thinking about other things and focus on dealing with the demon in front of her first, as she understood that she would die if his sword really hit her, because what she saw was just pure devastation.
The building had seemingly disappeared without a trace when it came in contact with the mana arc that shot out from Tuwile's sword, and it had even left behind a massive, at least 50 feet tall, 20 feet wide, and 20 feet deep, diagonal sword swing on the ground, and everything that was present in the area of impact had been simply obliterated.
The caved-in buildings from the mana arc could be seen falling into the massive pit of the sword swing carved into the ground.
And while Seo Hana was staring at the destruction his sword swing had caused, Tuwile frowned deeply, thinking that she was ignoring him, and punched her in the head.
"!!!" Seo Hana barely dodged Tuwile's fist when she felt the killing intent that was oozing out of his body.
"How dare you ignore me?" He seemingly lost his sh*t when he thought that he was being ignored; he lunged towards her with a strong flap of his bat wings. Perhaps it was because he had used his wings to speed up, so Seo Hana couldn't properly see the demon approaching her, but she was able to instinctively dodge his attack on her abdomen.
But not completely.
SPLURT! 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖
"Argh." She groaned at the sharp stinging pain at her abdomen and looked at it to get a proper glimpse of the damage she had received, and she was shocked to find her left arm disappeared up to her bicep, and at the spot where she was having a stinging sensation was the left corner of her stomach that was torn off.
Only then did she see that Tuwile had simply stabbed her using his mana; if her instincts hadn't warned her and she hadn't been able to dodge the attack, then she would have died, disappearing without any trace, just like her left arm. She didn't even have the heart to think of what would have happened if she hadn't been able to dodge it, and while she was dazed in pain, Tuwile, who was still pissed off about being ignored, pulled back his sword-holding arm and stabbed again, a lot more fiercely this time.
"!!!"
