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

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 Divine Core CH79: "FUKKOU"
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.

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.

The Divine Core CH2: "THE PAINS OF OBLIVION"
The transfigured corpses feasted on the bodies of the living. The people cowered in fear. The population of humans in the surrounding area reduced at an arithmetic progression. Kai was left dazed. “Come, dearest grandson, let us live forever in the life after death.” Kai's grandmother requested of Kai. “Leave my son alone!” Mr. Nagano growled, unsure of what to refer to this anomaly as. “Babe, we need to take Kai and get…” He turned around to see his wife getting assaulted by five able-bodied mutants with no place to run to. “Just like the good ol’ days. Am I right, dude?” One of the freaks commented, digging his arms into her breasts. “You said it, man.” Another freak agreed, raising her yukata to reveal her underwear. “No!” Mr. Nagano exclaimed.

"Mum, dad, I'm home." "Welcome home, honey." Akari welcomed, visibly happy to see her son back home. "Your dad’s working late hours so he'll be back later tonight— how were classes today? Did you finally beat your sensei?" Akari was ever so curious. Being a good mother, she was well aware of her son’s struggle at school. "Not this time," he replied, saddened by the question asked. "Matter of fact, I'm beginning to wonder if I ever will." "Awwn. Come here,” Akari embraced her son. “Don't worry, dear. You'll get the win sooner or later, okay?— wanna have lunch?" "Nah, I ate out. I need some shuteye right now." "Sure thing, hun." She kissed Kai’s forehead as a final farewell, relinquishing the hold she had on him. He left for his room, tired by the stre
