The Demon Swordsman Takeshi

Knowledge Is Power

Daimyo's advisor: My lord the demon known as Pride is leading a group of 10,000 towards different villages north of here. What are we going to do?

Daimyo: My forces are already thin as it is. This period of war is not kind to me. Not only do I have to worry about enemies in different regions, I also have to worry about these filthy creatures as well. God has chosen be as the ruler. This must all be a test. Advisor how many of my forces can I send to stop this demon army?

Advisor: Daimyo tan you can send 1,000 members at most. If we thin the army too much, then our enemies will be sure to attack the capital. You can spare two of your commanders for this mission. 

Narrator: The Daimyo has an army of 100,000. Out of those troops there are 500 members of the elite squadron. These squadrons are broken down in 5 with 5 commanders. Each commander is as strong as one of the members of the Seven Deadly Sins. The reason for this is because they all mastered their spiritual energy. They can use their spiritual energy to summon demons from scrolls, imbue their weapons with spiritual energy which causes more damaged if they hit a demon with it, they can also use spiritual energy as a defensive wall and an offensive attack. One of the commanders is so powerful that he can create a giant barrier to protect his troops that can withstand one massive attack. 

Daimyo: So be it. Take down the Demon Pride, and let us conquer the lands to the West while we our at it.

Advisor: Your wish is my command my lord.

*Shift To Takeshi*

Takeshi: My left arm is all healed up now. We can get back to training at one hundred percent again.

Chika: Takeshi I have a question for you?

Takeshi: What is it Chika?

Chika: Why do you slay only evil demons? Why don't you slay the lesser demons we see sometimes. Like the plant demons, tree demons, and dirt demons? I thought you hated the demons?

Takeshi: I do not hate anybody in this world Chika. I choose to slay evil demons because I want to make others not suffer what me and you went through. I know I can't save everyone. I know you called me a hero before, but I am not. I am just a peasant pretending to be a warrior, and if this pretend warrior can save people I will do it. Those lesser demons are of no harm to anyone. When I slay a demon I don't feel happiness for myself; I think of the people I have potentially saved.

Chika: You are so pure of heart Takeshi. Maybe that is why the flow of your spiritual energy is so pure. I heard in the village square that the Daimyo has sent soldiers to the north to fight a demon army. The village has to give double the taxes in food now for the 1,000 soldiers to fight. This village is doing well, so it will not affect them too much, but I feel for the villages that will starve because of low harvests.

Takeshi: It is wrong how the Daimyo rules us. He rules thinking of only gain and not the people. Some villages near mine have perished due to the food taxes. I even heard from some of these villagers that the Daimyo knows of the demons, but only chooses to deploy his troops to help the villages that provide the most food. The villages that are wiped out by the demons; the Daimyo sends servants to tend to it to produce crops once again after he sends troops to kill the demons. Sometimes the Daimyo waits to steal the land from the people. Who will fight for the land if the owners are already dead?

Chika: Be careful what you say Takeshi. The Daimyo is chosen by god and anything negatively said about him is an offense to god.

Takeshi: If he is chosen by god, then we do not need that god as that is a god that does not care for human life. I will change this land of Japan for the better with my blade and your help Chika. A Japan with no more evil demons. When I'm done with my goal, then I will even challenge the Daimyo himself to stop his tyrannical rule.
