Easy come , easy goes
It was a saying one would heard during one of his visit to the casino. Aki was in a troubled state of mind in that period, a shell hollowed by the realization of his fictional life. It could be said his life is a spinning roulette, and the needle is his resolve
Everything given will be taken away.
His existence is only a byproduct of sex. A chain chemical reaction that shot from his dad's prostate straight into his mother's uterus, creating the miracle known as life
A life. Conscious. Self-awareness. Realization. Enlightenment
How would one go escape that cycle? To transcend life and death of this truthless world are no easy task for a human. Weak flesh bag, easily crushed by even the lowlest Devil's. Talentless strength, conviction without purpose
Aki realize he would simply have to get stronger
__________
The Devil was sliced into 17 pieces. He once read from a visual novel that 17 is the amount of pieces a human should be cut up. It weakens the flesh and rend the bones, an art perfection given form. Death blossoms into 17 pieces
His feet then touched the ground. Light as a feather.
"Mission complete" Aki uttered the phrase casually. Pieces of the Devils fell around him, none of which land near the boy. He walked outside the entrance
Red spattered on the floor and ceiling, forming rivers of blood flowing to the girl standing in the middle of them. The Fiend brought her crimson hammer down to the last of them, laughing manically as another life is ended
"How's it going?"
"That's the last one" She answered flatly as he walked past her. The girl growled at being ignored, but turned around to follow the Devil Hunter "You take care of them fast"
"It's just how it is. Devils live in isolation from the human world, so hunting them down is easy" He looked to her "You're the first to escape me, so be proud"
"It's because I'm the strongest Devil to ever exist! That's why my name is Power!"
Aki smiled
She lacks the strength to exist as an 'absolute being'. It is pride without basis, a predator full of flaws. But still, he can work with such broken basis. Step by step, to instill the necessary brutality to one day challenge him

Day in and day out, Aki had the Blood Fiend go hunting around the city. At first, it was only the small fries, fears so trivial they can hardly exist after a single strike. Then the bounty goes up and up, resulting in her taking on more...troublesome beings
Before she realize it, she was already in the palm of his hand.
Aki watched on dispassionately as the girl tore through the zombies with her barrage of blood blades. None were left in their path besides pieces of their body parts littering the ground. A frightening scream echoed across the room
"Come no closer. Stay away you freak!" The being screeched as a wave of zombies were sent forth. It was nothing for the nimble blood fiend. Crimson blades impale into it "Arghh, it hurts. Please spare me!"
Power didn't reply. Still grinning, she rip the scythe from the Zombie Devil's face, carving a deep canyon that splits the thing in half
There's nothing more addicting than being strong. To be in control is every creature's deepest desire as it is a core part of their survival. The choice not to be consumed. The freedom of killing whatever you want. Using that impulse to your advantage...is the essence of manipulation
