Somewhere in Hyogo - Parking lot
The aura around Maseru ceased and the shadow disappeared however, she was still in intense pain and her eyes were completely black, alongside this her canines also became sharp. She seemed to be in agonizing pain as she started to choke and cough, men rushing outside from the inside of the building, one of them being her boss, Kiritan Fukoro, a short buff man with medium length hair and glasses, two katanas located on his back.
[Maseru] *in pain* Boss...
[Kiritan] So, this must be from "him" isn't it?
[Maseru] I have no idea what he's doing, but it's trying to escape out of me.
[Kiritan] I can't believe it, so it's true.
[Maseru] *struggling* Of course it's true...! Dummy! Why would I lie...about my past?
[Kiritan] So his shadow is trying to escape?[Maseru] He must've used his curse, so now it's trying to return to him.
Another flash of aura shot out of Maseru along with an arm.
[Kiritan] What happens if it gets out?
[Maseru] I'll most likely die within hours, this is...the only thing that is keeping me alive.
[Kiritan] Is there a way to stop it from happening?
[Maseru] We'd need a Tensou, or someone...that is able to suppress energy.
[Kiritan] I may be able to do something.
[Maseru] *struggling* No! This is demonic energy, you'll kill yourself trying to *grunt* suppress this! We need someone else...
A man came forward wearing a suit like the rest. He was decently tall, he had a lean body build, his hair was around medium length and it had a white or grayish color, and his eyes were blue. He also had a katana that was at his side, his name was Souma.
[Maseru] *in pain* Souma...
[Souma] I can do something, but it might hurt.
[Maseru] I don't give a shit, just...do it.
[Souma] Alright, just brace yourself.
Souma raised his right arm and opened his hand, facing it towards Maseru. Surging with electricity, his hair being blown upwards due to the pressure, his eyes shined a light blue color.
[Souma] Kagiru!
A bolt of electricity shot out of Souma's palm and attached his stream to Maseru, electrocuting her intensely. The electricity started to turn black on her back, and Souma was forced to use more power. It crackled and surged even harder, steam forming from her body as her skin was being fried. Seconds later, the black color ceased and the stream of electricity died down, leaving faint crackles of energy as it disappeared. Maseru was breathing heavily, but now she was fine.
[Kiritani] So what did you do to her?
[Souma] I created a bind using my electricity in order to contain the energy, but it won't hold for long. She should be fine for now, maybe that person or whatever you were talking about will stop using that curse soon, it should hold until then.
The Battle - Tatsumo and Kinoshiba
Tatsumo's hand was clutching onto his chest due to the large wound that was inflicted on him. He was slouched over slightly and breathing heavily, Kinoshiba completely out of sight.
[Tatsumo] *breathing heavily* Damn, what will I be able to do now?
Seemingly with dark pressure from a demonic presence, Kinoshiba appeared out of thin air behind Tatsumo with his hand clawed. Tatsumo quickly reacted, a golden aura coating his entire body, he reversed the attack and instead appeared behind Kinoshiba before dashing away, blood leaking from his blade. However, this time, he barely made a mark on him. There was a mild would on Kinoshiba's shoulder that barely made it past his skin and it healed instantly.
