Akio's fists slammed into Rui's face, sending him flying backward. The demon crashed into a tree, snapping it in half. Akio followed him, leaping over the broken branches and rocks. He didn't know why he was so strong or how he could ignore Rui's blood demon art, but he didn't care. He just wanted to end this fight and get out of this nightmare.

Rui wiped the blood from his mouth, glaring at Akio with hatred. He couldn't believe that a mere human could hurt him so much. He was one of the Twelve Kizuki, the elite of the demon world. He had mastered his blood demon art, creating threads that could cut through anything. And yet, this brat somehow broke through his defenses and landed several hits on him.

He grinned when his trap caught the human but that satisfaction vanished after his prey broke through it with brute force.

Akio reached Rui, throwing a punch at his head. Rui dodged, swinging his arm and releasing a barrage of threads. Akio ducked and weaved, avoiding the deadly wires. He felt a surge of adrenaline mixed with fear and anger. He was a brawler, not a fighter. He had no experience or skill in combat. He relied on his instincts and his powers to survive. But he knew that Rui was different. He was a cunning and ruthless opponent who used his blood demon art in creative and unpredictable ways.

Akio taunted Rui, hoping to make him lose his cool and make a mistake. "Is that all you got, you freak? You call yourself a demon. Come on, show me what you can do!"

Rui snarled, feeling his pride wounded by Akio's words. He decided to end this fight once and for all. He gathered all his blood into his hands, forming two massive balls of thread. He threw them at Akio, intending to shred him to pieces.

Akio saw the incoming attack and braced himself. He knew he had to dodge or block it somehow, or he would be dead. He glanced at Wispella, his fairy companion who could grant one wish. She was hiding behind a rock, watching the fight with worry and fear. 

She was invisible to everyone else but him, so she was safe from harm. But Akio didn't want to use her magic to help him. It was her magic that had brought him to this world in the first place when he made a careless wish while holding a magic crystal that contained her essence. It was an accident that neither of them had expected or wanted. She couldn't hurt anyone; however, the best she can do is hold off reinforcements from coming into the fray.

Thus she erected a barrier that only those in tune with mana can sense. Anyone who enters the barrier will be stuck in a loop for eternity until she undoes the spell. 

She winced whenever she saw Akio getting hit and cheered for him. "Ooh... I'm a girl but even I felt that one." She muttered as Akio and Rui struck each other, except Akio struck Rui in the groin.

The fairy winced as the lower upper five unleashed a high-pitched squeal before receiving a headbutt to the nose. 

The demon recovered and began using his using his surroundings but Akio was able to keep up and again struck him with a powerful kick.

A few meters away from the fight, two other figures were watching with astonishment and fear. They were a mother-and-daughter pair of spider demons who had been enslaved by Rui for a long time. They had been forced to pretend to be his family, along with other spider demons, under the threat of death. They had suffered his abuse and cruelty, living in constant terror and misery.
