Chapitre 55: Onmyōji
*Asura's POV*
"Hey Ryuichi, will you do something for me," I asked the child as he started to calm down.
"Uhh..." He hesitated.
"I promise to bring your parents back," I said with confidence.
Ryuichi immediately nodded vigorously.
'He's so innocent.' I thought as to how easy it was for the child to agree.
"So here's the plan."
*2 Hours later*
Someone entered the alley. It was the wizard and he had a woman accompanying him.
"Are you sure that I'll be healed Onmyōji sama?" The woman said with respect.
The Onmyōji took a deep puff from his smoke pipe and gave out a cloud of smoke from his mouth.
"Why, of course. It'll just require a bit of special services. I hope that you'll arrange your house tomorrow." He asked the woman.
" Of course." She nodded meekly to the purple dressed man with a long beard.
"And I suppose that you'll be alone. For a smoother ritual of course." He asked with a hint of forcefulness in his voice.
The woman gave the weakest semblance of a nod and started shivering.
Ryuichi started to come into the alley from the other side and the Onmyōji noticed him.
"Hey kid return here." The Onmyōji shouted with a voice that sounded like it had been smoking directly from a car's exhaust for years.
The woman decided to excuse herself using Ryuichi. She exited the alley with a single apologetic and fearful look.
The Onmyōji just took another puff of his Tobacco and looked at Ryuichi who was trembling.
"When can I meet my parents?" Ryuichi asked with his head lowered.
" When I think you've done enough for me brat." The Onmyōji said with a hint of disgust in his voice while looking at Ryuichi's clothes that had been torn at several places. Compared to the Onmyōji that was wearing several gemmed rings in his hands.
"At least tell me where they are? Just once." Ryuichi asked and I could see a stray tear drop from his eyes as he shivered.
I couldn't expect him to do perfectly but him being able to speak was a show of his determination in itself.
"How many coins did you get?" The Onmyōji asked.
'Fuck' I thought hastily.
"Uhh..." Ryuichi hesitated. I had taken his purse and he only had two coins in his pocket which he showed to the Demon.
"You swine!" The Demon raised his hand as Ryuichi tried to back away.
"Wolf Breathing Fourth Form: Stabs in the Crimson Sea," I said and in a moment all my Hiraishin Kunai were gliding through the air.
*Slash*
One of my Kunai pierced the Onmyōji's raised hand and two embedded themself into his neck. Not that deep but deep enough that he couldn't scream with full force.
A second later I had jumped from the top of the building I was sitting at to in front of Ryuichi. Covering his small body with both Igris and Vriska in my hands.
*Smack*
A large purple hand smacked me and pushed me back.
I looked to find the smoke from the Demon turned into mouths of Dogs which were taking out my Kunai from his body.
"Ryuichi stay behind me." I couldn't risk him running and the Demon hurting him so it was better for him to be beside me. With the Blood Demon Arts, you never know what could happen.
"Eye of Solomon," I said but the smoke still remained.
[*Ding*
The Host isn't facing an actual illusion but a materialized substance]
The system informed me and I deactivated my eye. No use burning up my stamina.
"So the brat ratted me out huh. Let's see how you'll scream when I'll turn you and your parents into smoke." The Onmyōji said and suddenly I was very aware of the metallic taste coming from his smoke.
*Smack, Smack, Smack*
The Smoke turned into hands as I was forced to block all of them. Since the smoke could materialize from anywhere I was also being attacked from my blind spots.
*Clang*
I blocked a claw aimed at my back with Igris and another at my leg. Again and again. I didn't need to see the smoke I could smell the blood in it and that was enough for my senses.
Thankfully I had somewhat agitated the Onmyōji so he was only focusing on me right now. But I still needed to get Ryuichi out of here.
Suddenly I rushed forwards and moved from side to side of the alleyway and did a complete Circle around the Onmyōji and returned back to my original position.
*Drip*
"Ahhhhh.." Ryuichi screamed from behind me.
It seemed that a claw had pierced my back and I could distinctly feel three burns on my back. It hurt like hell but I was sure that it'll heal. For someone as young as Ryuichi seeing someone with his back torn open and already regenerating would certainly be scary.
"No need to worry little guy. I'm gonna need you to trust me for a second okay?" I said and before Ryuichi could reply he was already 20 feet in the air with me jumping up alongside him.
I threw my Hiraishin Kunai at the Onmyōji which were all blocked by his smoke but it did give me enough time to pull back and give enough distance between Ryuichi and the Onmyōji. Before he could pull back though I was already in front of him now engaging in close combat without any care.
"Wolf Breathing First Form: Crimson Slash," I said and unleashed a flurry of red strikes in the orange-lit alley with the Onmyōji protecting himself again and again. There were slip ups though. His legs were in an open stance and I took the opportunity to cut a deep gash through his thighs as he fell on his legs.
"Ahhhh." He screamed but in another flurry of strikes I had cut off all other muscles in his legs. As he screamed the smoke around him disappeared.
*Smack*
With a quick kick to his head, I had knocked the smoke pipe out of his mouth. The Onmyōji reached his hands towards it but I grabbed both of his hands and pulled them behind his back with my right leg directly on his back.
"No don't do it ." The Onmyōji pleaded.
" Dragon Breathing Third Form: Cursed Severance," I said and pulled with all my strength as the Demons armed ripped from his body and dyed the street red.
"Crimson Slash," I said and Vriska cut through the Onmyōji's neck as his body began to dissipate into ashes.

Hello Idiot Author's friend here! Your author San has a relative that's hospitalized at the moment while your Author himself is sick ( I asked him to not stay awake for 24 hours but who the fuck listens to me). He's obviously not capable of writing chapters and is still trying to spend time with his relative. So I'll be the one uploading the chapters and maybe even writing some. Hope everyone understands.
Hope everyone liked the chapter and ask me any queries.
