THIS WAS BAD.

really, really bad.

you glare coldly at the demon, though your body failed to respond.

upper-rank one.. the strongest beneath kibutsuji..

you gulp thickly, free hand shaking terribly. you swear you could feel your circulation stopping towards the wrist that was held tightly.

it has a katana.. was it.. a demon slayer?

you gasp out as you feel a piercing pain in your shoulder and you were suddenly dangling against one of the pillars.

thick sweat blots down your face, your eyes turn to your shoulder, your stomach sinking slightly.

this demon had used your own blade to pierce you into the pillar.

muichiro was panicked, "[name]!!"

the demon was as neutral as ever, "you will stay there for a while... i will bring you.. to his lordship.."

the demon looks over at muichiro, "you.. your name... what is it?"

muichiro gulps, eyes shaking, "muichiro... tokito"

"i see. well.. the tsuginiki name must have died out"

you raise an eyebrow, putting pressure on your shoulder wound.

"tsuginiki? what's that?" muichiro questions.

"it has been.. centuries... so it was.. inevitable. my name.. when i was human.. was michikatsu tsuginiki.."

you gulp, feeling as though that name held some sort of importance.

the demon raises a finger.

"you are.. a descendant of the child.. that i left behind.. in the tsuginiki family. in other words.. you are my descendant"

your stomach drops,

muichiro.. this demon's descendant?

muichiro quickly calms himself.

the demon brings its hand to its chin.

"hmm..your spiritual strength.. seems excellent. in a mere moment.. you quelled.. your agitation.

muichiro runs at the demon,

mist breathing, second form : eight-layered mist!!

the demon appeared behind him in the blink of an eye, you couldn't tell if it hadn't been injured, or just had such fast regeneration there was no way to tell.
