Sacred Killers - Akuma no yoru

Forbidden power

Just as the breeze reached Zeno, he blasted fire out of his body and completely vanished. Taizuchi and the other students were left in shock. Zeno appeared above Taizuchi, in a blur.

[Taizuchi] *in his head* Impossible! It should've hit! I can't-

Zeno sliced down, raging with flames, and sliced Taizuchi's back. Zeno dashed back and everyone looked at him. His eyes were fiery, and his sword along with his hands were covered in flames. The students were going crazy, he actually landed a strike on Taizuchi.

[Taizuchi] *in his head* No way! This can't be!

Taizuchi slowly got up and clenched onto his sword.

[Zeno] I won't lose here, I've won. With this form, I'm able to exceed my previous speeds by a ton.

[Taizuchi] *in pain* *furious* Damn you!

[Kairo] *in his head* N-no way!

[Muigetsu] *in his head* He actually landed a strike on Taizuchi! A good one too!

Zeno dashed forward.

[Zeno] Hi no ikari.

Zeno did a series of strikes. He sliced Taizuchi's shoulder, his left wrist, his stomach, and finally, he dashed forward and sliced his chest. Taizuchi dropped. The students went wild.

[Students] *yelling* No way! He did it!

[Kairo] *in his head* He actually beat him! There's no way!

[Muigetsu] *in his head* He's insane! What a guy!

All of a sudden, Zeno turned around and everyone stopped yelling. Taizuchi rose up from the ground and the atmosphere changed. The air around everyone felt heavy and they were terrified.

[Taizuchi] *heavy breathing* *enraged* You pushed me to this point. I won't hold back. This is no longer a regular fight, this is a battle. I'll end you right here. You've pissed me off and humiliated me, I'll show you what I do to bastards like you.

The air pressure around Zeno got very heavy.

[Taizuchi] Akuma no kaze.

Taizuchi sliced and Zeno was immediately sliced up. Taizuchi did a barrage of strikes and injured Zeno.

[Taizuchi] Akuma no iki.

Without Taizuchi touching Zeno, he held his hand out and Zeno was crushed and slammed into the ground. Zeno got up and Taizuchi switched his stance and dashed forward. Horns appeared on either side of his head and he drove his sword right into Zeno's stomach.

[Taizuchi] Akuma no soyokaze.

A dark and putrid swirl of wind appeared on Taizuchi's sword and Zeno was blasted away. Muigetsu and Kairo were infuriated.

[Kairo] *enraged* You fucking scum! How could you! You can kill him!

[Muigetsu] *enraged* Do you even care about anyone else but yourself?!

Kairo and Muigetsu used koseishi on their swords and dashed towards Taizuchi. The teachers restrained Kairo and Muigetsu and restrained Taizuchi immediately. Taizuchi dropped to the ground and passed out.

[Kairo] *enraged* You bastard!

[Muigetsu] *enraged* Let go of me!

[Mr. Yamachi] *in his head* An Ancient Curse. The Kodai no noroi. How did he get that power? Could it be that he was given this power? Taizuchi, just who are you? What is a boy like you doing in Monkai?

[Kairo] *furious* Dammit!

Teachers immediately picked up Zeno, who was unconscious, and brought him to the nurse. Later, it was received that he needed to be rushed to the hospital quickly.
