--- Chapter 26 ---
Tenma leaped toward the high-level demon and swung White Night at ease, creating a silver screen in the air. The spear tore the moonlight and reached the demon's neck, not giving him time to react.
"Blood Demon Art - Flesh Blood Armor!"
Bloody air gathered around the high-level demon's neck, stopping Tenma from cutting it.
Tenma realized what the high-level demon tried to do and laughed, "Try resisting this then!"
The high-level demon's eyes widened. When Flesh Blood Armor met with Tenma's White Night, he felt an immense force behind it.
Yes, he prevented Tenma's spear from cutting his neck off.
However, it didn't prevent him from getting smashed down.
BANG!
Tenma launched the high-level demon down, crashing to the ground like an explosive.
Dirt flies everywhere.
The high-level demon clutched his neck and gasped for air, feeling every bit of his body hurt like a bitch, especially his neck hurt.
Damn it! This boy is inhuman!
Are you sure you are not the demon here?
However, the high-level demon is worthy of his strength. He recovered very quickly and reacted to Tenma's next attack more appropriately.
Watching the masked human descend from the sky with a long white spear in his hand, the high-level demon waved his hand and used his technique, too.
"Blood Demon Art: Flesh Blood Shield!"
Clank!
Tenma's White Night clashed with a thick shield made of blood and flesh, but the latter also has the quality of steel. The sound of metal banging metal rang in the Hobemi Village.
"Haha, I got you!" The high-level demon appeared behind Tenma like a ghost and struck his blood-covered fist.
Bam!
Tenma watched calmly as the blood-covered fist hit his chest. Everyone winced upon seeing this, feeling worried for Tenma.
Kanae's body tensed as she saw this. She resisted the urge to run and save Tenma, believing in his ability.
'You can do this, Tenma-kun.'
Tenma felt a strong force traveling from the high-level demon's fist to his chest. He used Enhanced Recovery Breathing, relaxing his muscles and bones as he used the 'force' and flowed it to his right hand.
"Shifting Flow Fist!"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, a reversal happened.
Before the high-level demon's attack could affect the masked Tenma, he shifted the flow and redirected the force with a whip-like punch.
BAM!
The high-level demon felt numb on his face. It happened too quickly.
One moment, he was laughing madly.
And another, his face got smashed by Tenma.
"What?" That's all the high-level demon could think of.
On the other hand, Tenma is frowning behind his mask. That Shifting Flow Fist is too green. He didn't 'totally' shift the flow of the high-level demon's fist and suffered some damage in exchange, too.
Of course, the damage wasn't enough to affect Tenma. His body is very sturdy and resilient.
And with Flower Tao, he could regenerate in a blink of an eye.
'I need to grind more...' Tenma grabbed White Night, preparing his Spear Breathing.
"Spear Breathing, 2nd Form: Sanrensei!"
Tenma struck down at three different spots, trapping the stunned high-level demons.
The high-level demon looked up in disbelief and saw three threatening spear lights. With hasty steps, the demon dodged in panic.
Tenma danced on the battlefield, slashing and thrusting his spear with ferocity. He didn't leave any chance for the high-level demon to breathe or use his Blood Demon Art.
Still, the high-level demon also knew what Tenma planned.
He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Hold him for a moment!"
Crack! Boom!
"Another Demonic Beast?" Tenma's eyes narrowed as he saw a giant centipede burst from the ground and grabbed his ankles. "Your Blood Demon Art is quite versatile."
Crunch!
The centipede didn't just bind Tenma's legs but also bit him. Frankly, its sharp fangs couldn't pierce through his thick skin.
"..." The high-level demon's mouth twitched.
While retreating, the high-level demon waved his hands and conjured another beast with his Blood Demon Art. Two tigers roared and pounced at Tenma.
Tenma twirled his spear, "Spear Breathing, 3rd Form."
"Ten Folds..."
"Houkiboshi Dome!"
Tenma struck White Night ten times consecutively, creating a dome-like territory, and whoever entered it would experience a burn of his attack.
As soon as the Flesh Blood Tigers entered Tenma's range, they got sent flying back.
Tenma breathed and stomped his leg, "Full Contact Karate - 2nd Stance, Phoenix Kick!"
BOOM!
The ground beneath Tenma shattered, making the hiding centipede roar and expose itself.
Tenma pulled White Night and thrust it at the bounced centipede, "Spear Breathing, 1st Form: Musou Ichiretsu!"
BANG!
The centipede died instantly and flew at the high-level demon, exploding into bloody bits.
The flesh-blood tigers shook off their heads and attacked Tenma again.
Roar!
Tenma crouched slightly, "Shinkirou!"
He turned into a silver blur and tore the tigers in half.
He rushed toward the high-level demon, and the latter gave him a mad look.
"Blood Demon Arts - Blood Flesh Spears!"
Ten, if not more, bloody spears appeared and charged at Tenma.
Tenma carefully observed the bloody spears and realized half weren't 'really' aimed at him. The high-level demon intended to attack Kanae and the villagers behind him!
"Now... What will you do? You must save them, no? Humans will always be humans!" The high-level demon laughed at Tenma, creating more bloody spears.
"You're an idiot." Tenma retorted.
He kept charging forward indifferently, only deflecting those aimed at him and leaving the rest to pass through.
"T-This can be! You're human, so you should save those people!" The high-level demon was speechless.
"Watch and fucking learn then." Tenma snorted.
Kanae saw the incoming bloody spears and knew Tenma was letting her take care of them. She smiled faintly and waved her sword, creating pale lavender light that devoured them into nothingness.
The high-level demon was stunned upon seeing this.
Tenma chuckled, "That's what it feels like to have a trustworthy and reliable ally, you fool!"
"You demons won't know it."
"Damn it! Blood Demon Arts - Blood Flesh Orb!"
Blood bits gathered above the high-level demon's head.
It condensed rapidly, becoming an orb.
Tenma's instinct told him this attack might be dangerous.
So, Tenma stopped his step and assessed the situation.
The high-level demon frowned because Tenma didn't recklessly charge at him and fell into his trap. He counted the distance between himself and Tenma, which was around fifteen meters.
"Then, I will come and drag you to hell!" The high-level demon took the initiative to attack again.
His body released an unpleasant bloody smell.
Tenma readied White Night and watched out for any danger.
Kanae's eyes widened, "Tenma-kun, that high-level demon is planning to attempt a suicide attack. Retreat!"
"Hahaha, too late!" The high-level demon has reached the 7-meter effective range.
"Blood Demon Arts - Blood Flesh Blade Storm!"
The blood flesh orb above the high-level demon burst out, becoming a violent yet sharp storm and swallowing everything it touched.
The storm expanded, covering ten meters of area instantly.
Tenma closed his eyes and felt the blood and sharpness. The feeling of death is far from him, which means this dangerous-looking red storm is far from being able to kill him.
However, Tenma couldn't help but feel inspired by them.

As the bloodstorm cleared, everyone gasped and saw Tenma standing with a spear in his hand. He has suffered countless cuts, ranging from his chest, stomach, and legs.
Some are deeps, and some are shallows.
Blood dripped to the ground.
His wooden mask was also broken in half, exposing the lower half of his face.
Yet Tenma stood still like a monolith. His obsidian eyes showed no ripple or emotion, numb to this level of pain.
"Is that it?" His calm, indifferent voice echoed in the Hobemi Village.
"Is that it, demon?"
"IS THIS THE BEST YOU CAN DO?!"
Everyone felt their body shiver upon hearing his shout.
Kanae, Shinobu, and the villagers looked at Tenma with stunned looks.
They felt their blood pumping at such a declaration.
Meanwhile, the high-level demon was scared silly. Tenma's statement is like a reaper's whisper to him.
"N-No..."
"Don't come closer."
"Human, don't kill me!"
Tenma walked toward the high-level demon. Each step is as heavy as stone, drumming everyone's ears.
He shook White Night in his hand and replied flatly, "No."
'But to thank you for evolving my Innate Spear Aura and Fighting Spirit, I will send you off with a bang!'
"Spear Breathing, 6th Form..."
"Amatsukaze (Heavenly Crossing Wind)!"
Tenma swung White Night with extreme speed and then twisted it a few times, causing divergence in its path and a violent storm that crossed the high-level demon before tearing it apart into bits.
Amatsukaze is an 'extremely' violent, ten-meter street before Tenma turns into a wild, deep groove.
The groove is at least three meters deep.
[Ding! You have killed a High-Level Demon for the first time]

Tenma exhaled, puffing white mist from his mouth. "I'm tired, but I can't sleep yet."
'Hehehe, I need to loot someone's house first!'
He glanced at the villagers and smiled, raising his fist high.
"It's over!"
After Tenma said this, the villager's cheers echoed throughout the Hobemi Village that night.
With this, the outbreak is over.
And a young hero was born!
