Chapter 9: Power Of The Terrible Two

M POV 

"HAHAHAHA! You really think you can beat me, demon slayer." The demon laughed at my blurry sight. I was lying down on the ground, he had me thrown out the window while we were fighting on the second floor. My whole body ached but once I regain my composure.

I lifted my arm as water hovers at him aggressively.  I clasped my hand together, summoning four water slicers in the air and shot it to the demon. 

He moved lightning-fast, flinging his body from side to side to prevent my attack. At that moment, my eyes prickle and the demon punches me out, driving me farther, my back met the Church's wall with a thud. 

The demon flew, its skeletal hand grabs my face, and jabbed my head back. dizziness took over me. "You strike me down with water. A water demon slayer tried that, and now she belongs to the grave."

"What if I cut your head?" I taunted. "Do you keep being a dipshit killing all these innocent children....and those people?"

He inclined his head to study my eyes. "You have the eyes of kindness that catch the heart. I'm so jealous. It will be a great thing to plug it out and make it my collection."

For food, of course. Demons can eat humans and wizards, even their own kind. Thinking of it makes my headache even worse.

A sharp pain stung through my arm, I felt blood starts to drip down. His gripped becomes tighter and tighter, I could barely breathe. "Or perhaps..." The demon paused. "I'll enjoy spilling another slayer's blood."

For a moment, I thought the demon will crush my skull but my body plunged to the pavement as something flash. Fireballs continued to hit the demon. He held out his palm, protecting himself from the raging flames. 

Kongpob POV 

"Are you okay, M?"  I asked, seizing his arm to keep him on his feet. 

He touched his head. "You have wound in your arm." He pointed out my cheek. 

"You have too." I say with a small chuckled, he had two wounds on both sides of his face. 

P'Arthit was suddenly facing the demon, he was standing in front of us. "I'll make an opening. You losers prepare."

"Let's show this demon the power of the terrible two!" I said to M and he nodded. A fierce look on his face.  P'Arthit glowered at the demon. Tugging his arm back again and he blasts off the celestial light with few rounded red violets surging forward. 

The demon M was fighting was wearing a suit. Which well, he kinda reminds me of Victorian-era men. 

We flashed past the demon; M cast down his water magic as I sparked a giant fireball. The demon used its force field magic to deflect our attack, shoving me first and my feet hit the church's wall and went back at the demon with greater force. M  was kicking him, there are sharp points made of water around his legs.

The demon fled his gaze at me, turns around and he shields himself with his magic, once the fire died out in my hands. He swooped me with a single swipe of his arm.  

The two of us nods once more and went at the demon, M and I have been like this ever since we met. We had a teamwork We went toe-to-toe with demons in the past.

This time the fight was brutal. Punches flying everywhere with our magic.  

He caught our neck. He sending me tumbling off across the pavement like he's a toy. 
"Alright then."  He said with a sinister voice that makes shiver. "Now's my turn to show you the true power of a demon."

He hacked and hacked as if I mean to cut down a tree. My fire just makes a 'ting' sound with his magic like it's made of metal. 

"You couldn't just die, slayers. You keep on being called, every year you're getting more and more. More slayers to shed blood!" The demon lunges at me with his force field held stiffly. Tiny sparks shrilling loudly.
