Chapter 12: Against upper-moon
NOTE (Please Read)
Hey guys author here. Just wanted to tell you something before you read this long chapter...! First, let's discuss what his Breath Style is (Vote to the next chapter). Even though he was super strong, he can't possibly defend his mortal flesh in the blade, right? So please cooperate to vote of what Style he'll go to.
And for our Chapter, I'll be posting a long Chapter from now on, but, it'll take time to finish, so 2-3 chapter I could muster in my phone.
Arigato for reading...! And before you go, please, write what grammar did I do, so I can change it. Sometimes I always miss the misspellings when I reread it.
Please Vote for the Story!

(Random POV)
"Kizuato, that demon is still alive! We need to kill it before it regenerates!"
Kizuato who was breathing to stabilize his lungs looked at Kanae who approach at his side in quite a fast movement.
Is this demon really important to kill?... He thought.
"Okay, okay. Let's go. That demon would've still regenerating at this moment." He waved at Kanae and started to run off where the demon was.
Kanae followed at his back with anxiety look on her face.
Arriving at the mountain, devastated forest and land greeted them. It was like God intended it to happen just to show his might to mortal beings.
What strength!... Kanae can't help but amazes at the sight.
"Gnnngg... Hrrgg... Ghugggh...!*
Doma, who was imprinted on the rock pillar grumbled in pain as he's regenerating his decapitated body.
"*Whistle~!*... Still alive, eh...?"
"That's why you need to use this! Hurry!"
Kanae shouted once again, urging her sword in Kizuato hands. But before Kizuato can even take the sword, he felt a presence above them, and it was fast.
He carried once again Kanae at his waist and dodged the object that targeted them above.
BOOM!!!
The ground shattered as the dust blow off onto the area.
"Looks like this is going to be fun~!"
A silhouette can be seen inside the dust curtains. Gradually, until his whole figured showed up.
It was the guy with light pink hair and tattoo all over on his pale skin, and he wore a sadistic smile. He was ready to fight.
Don't be carefree around him, Akaza. He's dangerous!
Akaza looked at the sorry state of Doma as though they can read each other mind before he spoke in a serious tone. "Can you still fight?"
"Of course, we're demon after all."
Doma body's regenerated. His clothes were already gone, leaving only his trousers and belt.
"Impossible... T-two... Upper-moon at the same time!" Kanae voice cracked at the horrifying state they are in.
Kizuato looked at Kanae horrified state before shifting his sight at the newcomer.
"Who're you?" He asked.
"Akaza. Upper-demon three." Akaza reply. "Looks like you enter the supreme level at a young age. I'm gonna be honest here, even though we'll never beat you at a fair fight. We can enforce our needed in our endless fatigue and regeneration. So how about you became a demon? Only chosen can be picked by fate at this moment you know."
He continued. "Human body is a fragile creature. They exhausted pretty fast and die pretty fast too. There's no way that you can defeat us by using your fist though, maybe, you can't even last until dawn."
Kizuato who was listening became silent.
No one can tell or knew what he was thinking behind his kitsune. Yet, even though he was full of opening, they didn't move to attack him.
Until his voice trails off in the air, cold enough to be cautious to their own safety.
"How about we see it through?"
...
(MC POV)
"How about we see it through?"
I don't know what I was thinking in this heated moment. All I knew was I was being challenged for the first time in my life in this world.
And me, who was sadistic in fighting in my previous world suddenly awaken deep inside me.
I felt my lips slowly creeping out into a smile. And my already forgotten side of me spoke.
"Here I come."
Before my voice can reach them. I already vanish at my spot, carrying Kanae who was close eyes because of the wind pressure that my speed brings.
The Akaza guy instincts were admirable to praise. He knew that I was going to attack even though his eyes were clueless.
An ice-flake like tattoos on the ground appear below him, glowing in light.
With a fractured of a second, he kicked towards me and I felt the air vibrated. I had to dodge before the attack can even grace me, which a favourable thing for me, so I can assets and think of how do I fight in this battle. Don't forget the pretty boy too on the side.
Shockwaves exploded where he kicked at, good thing that I was fast enough to dodge the shockwave as it just a few inches away from me.
After I jumped backwards, the pretty boy appeared beside me along with his replicas. Five child replicas of him appeared in my periphery carrying their own fans.
They waved it and gust of sharp razors attacked me in any direction.
And before it can even make contact at me, outside where the pretty boy is, summons his buddha that made out of ice, and It blew a chilling wind towards me.
Looking at my situation. I already knew what I had to do to defend.
With one quick move, I punched the ground below me.
My surrounding exploded into countless debris, which countered all of the razor sharps and the wind pressure I made pushed away the icy chilling winds that the buddha blows towards me.
Exploiting what I'd created. I eliminate the child replicas before they can even reach me.
After I took down the last replicas. Akaza appeared beside me along with his ice-flake tattoos on the ground. He sends a punch towards my face which I deflect by tapping his wrist upwards.
Seeing how he was alarm because of my speed. I kicked him upwards as I do a backflip into the air and dodged pretty boy ice spears which hit the daze Akaza.
Successfully, getting away on Akaza company. I charged to pretty boy who has already created a five child replica again.
Tsk...! Looks like this guy will be the annoying one to deal in this kind of situations!
Pretty boy attacked me again with his ice spears while the child replicas charged at me.
I do a zig-zag run towards them, dodging the ice lotus in the ground and meeting them in the middle head-on.
Metamorphosis God Punch!
Shockwaves came charging at them in unbelievable speed. Like a whirlwind tornado, they shattered into ice dust.
Pretty boy who was in the back blows his buddha towards the tornado, freezing it to ice.
At the fractures of a second, I appeared beside him like a ghost. And the moment I did that, Akaza too who was I left behind on my back appear at his side.
Akaza hands suddenly turned blurry in my sight. With how refined my sense of instinct is, I trust my own hand to move where he was going to attack.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Our hand make contact at each other consecutively in just a flash of seconds, and the shockwaves exploded on each of our back.
"What a move you got there buddy!" I smiled at him as my shoulder gushed out blood.
"Hah...! This is fun!" He replies with a smile too.
"I couldn't agree more!"
"Why don't you put that lady on the ground, brother!? I'll gladly stop attacking you if you want!"
"There's no need brother! Disadvantages are just for weak!"
He became silent as we face each other barrage of attack as me in the process dodging an amount of ice spear.
"You're right! Strong warriors don't need excuses in battle!" He agreed with a smile. "Become a demon brother! So we could fight forever!"
After he spoke, he kicked me point blank in my abdomen.
I block it using my knee and suddenly felt a presence in my back.
"Get out of the way, INSECT!"
I punched pretty boy face who sneaked on my back and face again Akaza barrage of attack.
Even though, Akaza was weaker to pretty boy. He was a true warrior who doesn't rely on second-grade fighting style. He was a true warrior who attacks with ferocity and instinct. Not like the pretty boy who even though fast, but has no brain or martial art skill to use it. He was basically useless without his puny little tricks.
My hand rotation is becoming more fast and wild. I was basically swinging left and right at him like a madman.
...
(Akaza POV)
What the fuck is this...!
I was being overwhelmed by his attack right now. Without my Compass, I couldn't be sure if I can block one of his attacks, let alone attacking him!
My "Soryu" is a martial art skill using a variant of different form and style to execute an attack. But he! He was basically swinging left and right at me! And on one hand only!
His refined and tough muscle was becoming elastic!
He was hitting me left and right! To my left-abdomen, ribs, wrist and finally shoulder near my neck.
My sight became blurry as I see his hand heading towards my face.
I muster my strength in my hands and blocked it. With how fast and ferocious his rotation is, the force within his hand was immense which made me flying towards the forest in my back.
...
(MC POV)
Akaza came flying towards the depth of the forest in the night as I heard the trees snapped one by one.
Again, pretty boy child replicas surrounded me as they slashed their fans towards me.
I was annoyed by how weak this guy is.
Does he even know how to fight? Yeah, he's fast and strong, same with his child replica. But without a brain, he cannot win against me! That's for sure!
A gust of razors sharp surrounded me once again along with ice spear trajectory towards me.
I charged at my right, the nearest of them all. Punching the air. The shockwave dissipates the razors sharp and I run towards the child replica and destroy it.
The rest of the child replicas came charging at me as their swing their fans at my body.
I crouched down which made pretty boy and his replica clueless but still attacked.
My hand became blurry and each punch in a flash destroyed the replicas into the dust of ice.
His face shown a visible shock in his smiling face and became more surprise when I appeared beside him.
Countless punches hit his body part as though he was becoming dough in the springboard in the hand of the bread maker.
Regenerate you f*cking, masochist-!!?
Before I can even send my finishing blow on his face. A red slash came at my side separating me and pretty boy.
But the slash contains yellow crescent moon shape that has a variety of sizes. Three crescent moon shape hit my wrist and it leaves a deep wound to bleed.
I looked at my left and seen in the trees a guys with six red-eyes looking at me indifferently. He wore a purple-and-black-patterned kimono and black hakama pants tied with a white cloth. He carried a sword at his waist that had eyes in the space between the tsuka wrapping of the handle of his sword.
No one moves as we stare on the newcomer arrival. Akaza who just came back became annoyed while the pretty boy smiling face eased down in all of the pressure that I gave to him just a moment ago.
Kanae who was silent in all of this time spoke, breaking the silence in the area.
"N-no way... Three Upper-moon in the same area!? You've gotta be kidding me!!?"
Kanae vexed voice made me worry a bit. Even though I can defend myself from carrying him. I couldn't keep at the three if they came rushing at me for sure...
The newcomer was harder to defend. His range was exceptional to the two, and the intensity of his slash would be hard to dodge.
I can endure the pain, but my body wouldn't!
I looked at Kanae and said. "Kanae, can you still move? Do you think you can outrun them?"
She looked at my kitsune before speaking. "I-I d-don't think so. I could run, but, seeing how fast all of you. I couldn't think I can escape them."
"That's good enough... Okay, I wanted you to run back where Shinobu and the twins are as fast as you could, okay? Carry them and run-away. I'll hold them off as you run, so don't worry about yourself. Don't ever look behind you, just run. And don't ever use your eyes, they wouldn't be much of a use right now."
Kanae became silent for a few seconds before nodding.
As I let her stood on her own two feet, the six-eyed demons spoke.
"Are you done... to your plan... Hmmm... You... look strong for a human. Your refined body was as it was tough and strong to its limits... Interesting..." He mumbled to himself.
"So what of it? Are you perhaps have a fetish on such an old age?" I reply without looking at him.
"You see..." He dodged the question. "Your body was perfect, perfect to be called prodigy at your age... It brings nostalgia to my soul... It felt really good, just like in Sengoku era..."
"And something likes that makes me jealous... Why others are born special... Why I'm born nothing... I felt empty inside... I felt inadequate to myself-"
"Hey...! Don't accuse me that I'm born special!" I cut him off. "And don't even show to me that you're pathetic. Or you may just become someone concubine who lashes at someones back.
He became silent and I felt his aura flinch slightly before coming back to normal.
"But that's the truth... Others may be born special, who someone lavish in gods grace. Someone who was gifted in all aspect. Someone who can become anything."
After he spoke, his demeanour changed and his aura became heavier. Sending more pressure at my shoulder duty.
"Just like my own two little twins...!" He charged on me with an unsheathed blade.
If I at my peak, maybe I could take him head-on without using a weapon. But with all of these injuries and wounds. It's impossible...!
He waved his blade towards me and red slash with a variety of yellow crescent moon shape came crushing towards me. I gripped Kanae katana and slash in horizontally like he did.
The two slashes were just in the same match and strength, even though that isn't my full strength, I can guess that he can still match me at my peak strength.
Fatigue was already creeping out on my muscle and stamina. Perhaps my fight is already been dragged this long, so I can now feel how much strength I've been using up until now.
But I didn't acknowledge that fact that I was going to loss. In fact, I feeling rejuvenated! I felt nostalgic...! It must've gotten to do with my past, I felt like I can do anything right now. I can win against all odds...!
"Start running, Kanae!!" I shouted.
Kanae ran as fast as she could where the town was, she was just running straight ahead.
Even though she was scared of how many explosion happening on her back. The only thing she can do was to trust me! That's the least she can do right now!
And I know that for a fact, certainly!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Again, countless ice spear came flying at me in the distance. Slashing in a different direction where the ice spear is, I manage to destroy all of it, even though my swordsmanship was sucks... I'm a martial artist okay! Not a swordman...!
Kokushibo came dashing at me and suddenly a countless slash manifested out of nothing. With one big swing upwards, I created a big turbulence, in the air which made the rock below me blocked it, safely covering me in any spot that can harm me.
His techniques are so dangerous. With only one swing he can create many crescent moon that can decapitate me easily! F*ck this...!
But there's no luxury to be thinking about that! I've had to defend mo matter what...! Full yourself, Kizuato! Defend her no matter what!
"Kokushibo! Are you really going to fight a man with responsibility on his back!"
I heard Akaza shout on the side who was watching and running to catch on us.
The six-eyed demon suddenly stops attacking which I stop backing up too.
"Yeah... Why would you still protect that human, human...? There's no point protecting the weak in the battle. It'll only drag you down to your own demise... So why...?" He asks.
"Well, that's a man responsibility you f*cking demon! That's a man job!" I reply without a pensive thought.
What I was thinking? Did I just shout it? ahh... Am I trying to vindicate my fault in my past? Or I was just trying to be a liability to protect women...? Either way, I was trying to redeem my fault not protecting them in the past... Yeah, looks like it... I'm still guilty on that one.
(Author: If anyone didn't get that one. He was talking the matter about the three women in Chapter 2.)
The atmosphere changed as though tranquillity covered the entire area.
While I am looking at Kokushibo that was silent, Akaza on particular was thinking something deep as his facial expression changed to absent-minded and confusion.
As we three in a stand-off, pretty boy sneaked behind me. He was targeting Kanae!
"Shit!"
I muster all of my strength in my foot and sped at Kanae. Before pretty boy can even reach Kanae. I was already on his front to cease his futile attack on Kanae.
Not just only me, even Akaza appeared beside Doma. He kicked Doma at his abdomen and send him flying to the tree.
Clueless, I ask him what he was doing. "What're you doing...?"
He became silent. Even he was clueless as he was suddenly awakened on his trans of deep thought. He mumbled. "I... don't know..."
I looked at his deep thought look as Kanae on the back who was clueless on what's happening right now was still running in the woods.
"You... Do you still have strength in fighting...?" Kokushibo appeared a few meters away from us.
I looked at him and spoke. "Hell yeah... We could go on until dawn! That is the bet! Isn't it?!"
"Hmmm... I usually didn't take pity on my enemy... But... I think I consider this one..." He said. "I don't know... What was I was thinking... Is this right...?" He mumbles under his breath which I and Akuza can hear.
"You... You should learn how to wield a sword... Let alone blade... You swordsmanship was like a child that would only swing when it is danger... And perhaps... We could duel who's stronger than the two of us... And this time... I'll let anyone know that I am the best in the entire land... I'll be..." His last word disappears into the air as he walked away from us, completely leaving us alone.
Seeing that he's really are gone, I looked at Akaza who was already awakened on his deep thoughts. "So what now...?" I ask.
He looked at me in a few seconds before saying. "Don't know... Maybe we could postpone this fight of our and continue it in the future. Even I have a reputation for fighting fair... So see you soon." He disappears at my front completely.
Even though the two leave. My fight was still not over. Pretty boy was still in the area and might attack us in any given moment.
I took off where Kanae was and princess carry her when I arrived at her sight and head straight where the town is.
[1] Pretty boy - Doma, the Upper-moon two. He doesn't still say his name so I called him pretty boy in MC POV
