We'll Meet Again Imouto-san (Hiatus)

Chapter 5

"Brat! Why are you interrupting my devouring session?! Because of that, I will kill you!" The demon said dashing with speed.

"I won't allow you, pest!" I yelled.

"Full Focus. Breath of Thunder. Second Style: Lightning Ball." I said.

He smirked at me and quickly dodged my attack. This one is different from my previous missions so far. It's like I'm competing against sensei.

"Hah! You have no match for Hayakudo!" He said as he grew his arms to hit me, like elastic.

So this is a speed demon. Like sensei told me years ago.

His arms grew so fast that I had to dodge them in a second. I wonder what his blood demon technique would be so that I can quickly defeat him.

"Most demons are powerful. But the most strongest demon I've encountered so far is a speed demon. He surpassed my speed and almost killed me on the spot, but everytime a person loses his thoughts and almost get defeated during a battle, memories or moments will flash through their minds, it is to give them ideas what to do. That's also what happened to me back then. I saw sensei yelling at me and keep telling me to never give up. Never lose hope, give importance to the teachings he taught me and use them potentially. It doesn't matter that it will cost mostly your strength, but try hard as fast as you can and you'll win." Yasashi-sensei told me.

Hm, I'll remember. But I cannot lose right now, I'm not yet close to completing my goal yet. Seems like speed demons had a great quality match with thunder breath user. We are humans unlike demons. They never lose stamina because they would always regenerate by eating more humans. So if I cannot defeat him before my stamina drains then it would be my loss. If I'll lose then I cannot see her again.

I also promised to Kanae-san to go back after finishing my mission. I don't want to upset her so I had to do this quick.

Stop thinking negative thoughts and start attacking already!

I sheathed my swords and made a closing stance. Hayakudo widens his eyes as he cannot find a single opening. He gritted his teeth as he charged towards me.

"Full Focus. Breath of Thunder. Seventh Style: Wave of Lightning." It is a strong wave made with lightning. I said and slashed his front torso.

Wave of Lightning is mostly used for range attacks. Since it sends a wave made by lightning so my attack wasn't successful at all. But! It has another way for the attack to be successful, since it is a range attack then it has a low rate at close range. Then, why not combine it with my electric stun?

Most of my styles can stun and sends electric shocks to enemies. So that I had the time and advantage to defeat them. However, most demons managed to counter attack them so they were occasionally useful.

But, Hayakudo seemed to be stunned by my attack as I charged at him. I held my right sword and hid the left one behind my back. I swung my sword, targeting his neck but seems like the duration of the stun finally ended as he managed to take hold on my sword.

Fool, don't you know what Nichirin blades are?

I exert force on my sword as his hand was cut off. His free hand grabbed my neck and pinned me on the ceiling.

Ahh, so it was his plan all along. For me to cut his hand so that he can catch me on his other hand, clever. I didn't see that coming. I was entirely focusing on his neck. I didn't realize that I'm letting my guard down. Too bad, I have counter attacks. I just had to endure this and gather few information from him. Don't worry, I've breathed enough air so I won't lose air for a few minutes.
