Lost Morals [DISCONTINUED]

#14| a hothead

Zenitsu pov

Tanjiro and I ended up in a room with a good few dozens of weak and barely stronger demons. we have each other a quick nod and took towards different directions.

"third form: thunder swarm"

glowing thunder boomerangs formed around my half of demons and cleanly sliced off their heads.

"seventh form: drop ripple thrust curve"

i peek at Tanjiro who uses his sword to stop a moving demon fists of two strong demons that came at him.

"third form: flowing dance"

Tanjiro proceeds to cut off his half of the opponents heads clean off in that one strike. he looks over at me and signals to me once more.

"sixth form: whirlpool"

"fourth form: distant thunder"

Tanjiro caught a good portion of the last few demons in a whirlpool while i sent a charged lightning ball towards the rest. their heads all collectively fell off and we landed epically as their bodies crumbled.

i let out a sigh. "Tanjirooo! that was terrifying!" i wailed out as i shook him vigorously, completely dropping my serious act.

"y-you did fine, Z-Zenitsu. please let... me go," Tanjiro dizzily blurted out.

"oi. you're not done yet, dickheads," a mysterious low voice grumbled.

the neat, black haired demon from earlier sat on a ledge that awkwardly stuck out from the wall. he was one of the higher moons, eyes having reflecting a "住" and a "風". he wore an annoyed scowl on his face, completely contrasting his formal appearance.

Tanjiro and i got into out offensive stances again, ready to attack. but within the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

we looked around, tense and on guard.

"boo" the demon's sword released a strong gust of the wind that was definitely not the work of nature. thrown into a hard brick wall, i groaned in pain as i hear a crack from the wall due to the hard impact.

Tanjiro calls out my name as i attempt to get up.

"i'm fine, focus on the battle!" i cry out as the demon begins to attack once more, this time targeting him.

the demon slashed his lunar green and light jade sword which was met with Tanjiro's mirage one.

"second form: improved, lateral water wheel"

they continuously exchanged hits and paused to catch their breathes.

"first form: thunderclap and flash, god speed"

i took the opening, dashing from one surface to another and charged toward the demon. i landed next to Tanjiro in agony from my back injury. we stared hopefully as the smoke cleared up.

our eyes widened. the demon barely got any major injuries other than a few measly gashes and missing finger that quickly grew back.

"damn, he's strong..." i muttered.

"dance of the fire god: fire wheel"

"fifth form: heat lightning"

Tanjiro made a wheel behind the demon while i slashed the demon in an upward motion. with the blow of the wind, the demon paces sideways and efficiently dodged.

i quickly peered at the clock. 12:30. we definitely weren't going to end this fight soon, but that isn't the aim. we need to at least save Kanao-san first.
