We begin the chapter with a fight scene, I rush at the Nekomata woman and beat her to the punch with a fast jab,
then follow up with a right hook and finish thecombo with a flying knee to the stomach.
I go in again to continue a new combo, but this time,
I was beaten to the punch,
followed by my body exploding into pieces.
My healing factor kicks in,
and I reform a new body from the head down only to be greeted by a flying push kick,
I struggle to regain my footing as I go skidding back.

When I regained my center of gravity, I was uppercuted,
then left hooked and finally elbowed striked in the ribs,
breaking the whole ribcage,
thankfully,
my healing factor heals that good as new,
but damn this woman hits harder than most Artificial Demons.
Hell,
I'd even go as far as to say she hits harder than Demon Lord Brandon.
I rush at the Nekomata and demonic leap into the air and descend upon her with a full powered drop kick,
she crosses her arms to block it,
and then when I connected,
she threw me back into the air,
and when I landed she finger jabbed me in the chest and stomach multiple times, and yet it felt like a blazing hot scalpel was rammed through my organs,
my mind goes back to when I fought Niel,
and then it dawned on me.

This chick is using the same style of martial arts!
I get punched and explode moments afterward,
and body reforms on a big rock,
I get up and springboard myself off the rock with a demonic leap back at the Nekomata.
"VAPORIZE!"
I fire a ball of shadows and lightning towards the Nekomata,
and for the first time,
someone catches it without being reduced to ashes!
The Nekomata's necklace turns back into a seven bladed branch sword,
and she slices me up real good until I sidestepped,
snap kicked the back of her legs,
punch her in the back with two lightning fast jabs,
duck around her as she tries to backhand me and uppercut her into the air.

"LET'S SEE YOU CATCH THIS!"
I fire off another ball of shadows and lightning,
and she explodes this time.
Moments later,
she walks out of the dust cloud and comes at me, swinging her sword like a bat out of hell,
I dodge, duck, bob,
weave,
and the last slash connects into my arm, but the moment sends me flying down the mountain and into Kyoto.
She teleports to me,
but I sent her flying with a good punch,
I teleport above her and start barrel rolling for a tornado kick.
When I kicked her,
she grabbed my foot,
spinned like she's going to slam me only for her to land and break my back over her shoulders,
throw me on the ground,
then splatter my head with a simple stomp.

My body regenerated a new head and repairs my back,
but when I came to my senses,
I was violently headbutted so hard that my skull cracked and my neck was broken. She tosses me against a car that was parked on the street,
her eyes glowing pink.
I step up my game and enter my Demon Lord form,
sprouting my famous four bat like butterfly wings and two bone claws on the back of my forearm,
I punch the ground,
creating a smoke screen with the shadow rune,
then getting behind her from outside the smoke.
When she noticed,
I shot off multiple shadow lightning orbs at her,
amiss the chaos I threw a flurry of punches until she slashes at me again, I back off then redirct the aura of her next slash back into her,
launching her back.
"Spiteful Surge!"

The Nekomata gets up,
and with one final surge that my healing factor would let me,
I ram my fist through her chest and out her back and crush one of her hearts,
I then attacked every single pressure point that I knew of until she caught my fist and shatters the bones with next to no effort,
I jerk away,
but she rips my arm off and then slashes me on the neck,
making my blood spray!
I legitimately thought I was going to die as I revert back to my human form, blood gushing out of my throat and missing arm.
I fall on my ass and look up in defeat. The Nekomata readies her sword to decapitate me,
that was until a very familiar voice gets her attention.
