Kenjiro Kemonomichi belonged to a forbidden clan that had practiced Seance type techniques. The Taira Clan was responsible for the rise of the Daemon: Yumiko Kurogawa, and they were notorious for breeding powerful Daemons. Kenjiro was not an exception to this fact.The only thing that limited the clan's progress to reaching the apex of power was their individual insufficient well of core energy reserves and their lacklustre understanding in the potential of their techniques.Kai Nagano, with the aid of Kairos's perfect perception, understood the lengths Kenjiro's technique could take him if only used right.However…"Kenjiro-san."The voice of a broken Daemon rang, the sound of a guy torn apart by the body of his best friend crumbling right in front of his eyes."I told you, didn't I, Kenjiro-san?" The Daemon revealed himself as he took his time casually walking towards the Chosen Daemon. "Now just look at what you caused for yourself. Decapitation by the very phenomenon you desired t

The echoes of the battle had finally faded, leaving a haunting silence in their wake. Kyoto laid in ruins in a manner that spoke well enough to the ferocity of the clash between Bennosuke and Kaito.Smoke curled from the ruins mingled with the scent of scorched earth and shattered dreams. The once vibrant city was now a desolate wasteland, scarred by the ravages of war.Kai Nagano stood at the center of destruction and, with rue and resolution all over his eyes, scanned the vicinity. His enigmatic calm had been replaced with a look of vulnerability. The cost of battle was staggering, but it was a price that had to be paid for the safeguarding of the future.“Man, what the hell am I supposed to do now?” Kai thought out loud. ‘Kenji’s gonna kill me, isn’t he?’Bennosuke regained his consciousness and emerged from the shadows, surveying the damage that had been caused due to his incompetence. He felt the spiritual embrace of Kuronami as it raised his moral never to give up and grow strong

Kaito Kazutoshi slowly began chuckling, a hint of pride in his demeanor. “Letting underlings do the dirty work for you, huh? You severely underestimate me, Nagano.”The bounty hunter’s attention quickly shifted to the subtle but dominating unsheathing of Kuronami, his new aura more terrifying than the former. Kuronami pulsated a sickening aura of core energy even in its base form. Bennosuke took his stance, welcoming his enemy to dance.“Kuronami.”Bennosuke faded away. Kaito was on high alert. Faster than he could react, Kuronami slithered like a serpent, taking shots at his enemy’s vitals. Bennosuke’s being formed right above the onslaught, front-flipping to land a vicious super axe kick to the head of Kaito, smashing him into the ground.The Strongest Assassin gripped Kuronami by its handle and the latter scored a devastating slash to the head of his opponent. Kaito deflected the trajectory of the blade’s movements and he scored a devastating slash on Bennosuke slashing off the han

Kuronami was lost in the smoke of his demised wielder. But, it did not seem like the battle was over just yet. As if the magnificent blade had a life of its own, Kuronami rose up and took a stance as if being wielded by a ghost.Kuronami swung himself full arc to cut through the Chosen Daemon, but Kai was quick enough to dodge the strike with a flip over the blade. The attack, as usual, didn’t stop there and Kuronami twisted like a serpent to pierce through Kai’s heart.The entire scene was painted in red, and Kai did his best to rip the blade out of his body. He realised he was only doing himself more damage for his palms nearly cut in two.Kuronami extended, ragdolling the Chosen Daemon from building to building with its seemingly infinite segments. Kai clapped in response, swapping places with one of the brick walls he got drilled into.Kuronami broke through the wall and turned to face the Chosen Daemon once again as it phased in and out of reality.‘What the?’ Kai was amazed by t

Day's appearance suddenly mimicked the nature of night. Bennosuke had placed a barrier around the district to ensure no one interrupted their battle.The sound of his weapon scraping the earth frightened the Chosen Daemon, their eyes interlocked to one another.Bennosuke appeared like a shadow amongst the shadows, with no sort of fear in his eyes. All that raced in his mind was to claim the head to the awakened Daemon and deliver it to the Mastermind.“We don't have to do this, man.” Kai tried to appeal to the Daemon, but his words didn't seem to penetrate through his eyes at all. “Would you really wanna take the life of your kind? Answer me!”The sound of his weapon seized. Bennosuke stopped moving. He raised up his weapon to showcase all of its majesty. This weapon has murdered thousands of entities, and the Chosen Daemon was about to enter the list.The blade was divided into several segments which seemed to transfigure at any time and season.‘I guess bargaining wasn't an option,

The two Daemons launched themselves out of the restaurant, destroying the glass windows in the process. The customers and staff alike attempted to chase after the Chosen Daemon, but Kenji halted them on their tracks, constructing a barrier around the restaurant to cage them in for a while.Unfortunately, this attracted the attention of multitudes that were stationed outside the restaurant. The people had instantly recognised Kai's identity. His image was on every city banner and on all posters and fliers, and he was at the heart of Kyoto City.A flaming arrow was aimed at his head, but Kai was quick enough to react to the attack with ease, stopping it with a finger. The arrow collided with his finger and progressively shattered the immensely durable body of the awakened Chosen Daemon.The distraction was set in stone. Kai realised it was a decoy. He turned around to behold a ten ton trailer moving at about a hundred and twenty kilometres per hour with the mindest to demolish Kai, even
