CINNAMON

Defeat of Ryugu

“ what.?! ” Satoru is surprised to see Ryugu chasing after him.

right now, Satoru was at the edge of the hole, he was about to come out, while Ryugu darted quickly with dozens of blood tails ready to pounce.

Satoru looks serious, “ I think he lost consciousness, but it turns out he is still chasing me. ” inner him.

Taps.. Taps..

very quickly, Satoru ran away from Ryugu, he was already outside the hole and towards the lush forest.

Grooo..

Ryugu shouted, his voice sounding terrifying, he darted rapidly splitting the wind, dozens of his blood tails dancing in the air.

Sinam tried to get up, he looked at Ryugu and Satoru who had left the hole, “ too soon. I could not catch up with them. ” muttered and ran after.

Taps.. Taps..

Satoru continued to run, his extremely fast steps made his body irregular, he did not look exhausted.

Satoru glanced back, where Ryugu could see that it was catching up, the longer the distance between them was getting cut.

“ really fast, she is able to catch up with me. ” Inner Satoru.

Braaks..

Suddenly the earth under Satoru is destroyed, then comes out Ryugu's blood tail pointed, ready to stab Satoru.

Taps..

Satoru landed on a tree branch, “ almost. ” his murmur turned Ryugu who was behind, he managed to dodge.

right now, Satoru and Ryugu had already entered the lush forest, yet to be affected by their previous fight.

Satoru smiled faintly looking at the trees that stretched, “ in this way, he will not be able to move freely. ” his inner.

Taps.. Taps..

the chase continued, Satoru jumped between the trees and the direction was irregular, it seemed he intended to escape.

Ryugu tried to catch up, but the moment he stopped, Satoru was nowhere to be seen in his sight.

Grooo..

Ryugu shouted loudly, as the animals in the forest moved away, the birds flew out of the forest.

Sraaakkp..

Ryugu played out a dozen of his blood tails, the tail extended and bulldozed through everything before him, the trees falling apart flat on the ground.

Taps..

Satoru landed on a tree branch, behind which all the trees were destroyed due to Ryugu's attack just now, it seemed like he was almost affected.

Satoru turned around, stared back flatly, “ I did not expect his tail reach so far. ” murmured, “ well, now what should I do.? ” then smile wickedly.

Ryugu looked around as if looking for something, until finally his gaze stopped towards Satoru who was in the distance, he prepared and jumped high into the air.

Booom..

Ryugu landed in front of Satoru, the ground on which he stood crushed, dust disguising his body.

Satoru was still in place, he stared at Ryugu flatly, “ seemed impossible to run from him.. ” murmured, “ but, what kind of power is this? Devil White Tiger, Wolf, Eagle, Crow, Snake, Scorpion, or Devil Butterfly, judging from its shape, he is not the heir to the Demon Power. ” his inner look serious.

Sraak..

Ryugu changed his position to crouch down, his palms stuck to the ground, and then some of his blood sped quickly after Satoru.

Braakk..

the tree on which Satoru stood shattered into pieces, then a cloud of dust followed.

Taps..

Satoru landed in a roomy place, there were no more trees due to Ryugu's attack, it seemed like he had jumped to avoid the attack earlier.

Satoru looked at Ryugu, “ want to be seen from anywhere, he is indeed a Devil. ” his inner being is serious, “ what should I do? all I hear is that Satan can regenerate even if it has been hit by a slash. ”

Satoru closed his eyes with the wind blowing, he recalled the incident that night, the figure of the white-haired man who had painted a wound on his cheek, the person he hated so much. That person was Uhara Denko, who was the man who had been the man who had painted the wound on his cheek, but Satoru hasn't known Uhara until now.

“ if that person was in my position, what would he do? is he going to run.? ” muttered Satoru with his eyes closed, “ no, it is impossible for him to escape. So, to be able to defeat him, I will not escape and fight my doubts, I will not escape, this is the promise I said after the massacre of the Taro Clan.!! ” he continued convincingly, then opened his eyes.

on the other hand, in a place that was not reachable by light, a boy was lying between the pool of blood, more precisely the sea of blood, a sea of blood, that child was Ryugu who currently looked weak with contorted eyes.

“ who am I?.... Why am I here.? ” Ryugu murmur sounds heavy, “ actually... what purpose was I born for.? ” he continued, he looked bored of living.

Grooo..

in front of Satoru, Ryugu shouted loudly with eyes staring at Satoru sharp, dozens of his pointy blood tails ready to stab.

Sriing..

Satoru looks serious, pulls out a few knives, drains the knife with his red Shaka, then throws it at Ryugu.

Craakhs..

the knife stuck in Ryugu's tail as a shield, Ryugu played his tail until the knife came off and was struck somewhere.

Css..

clearly visible every stab wound from the knife back healed, thin smoke also appeared adorning.

Satoru looks serious, “ turned out to be true, he healed quickly. ” his inner.

Ryugu shouted out loudly, looking prepared, then slid all his tails towards Satoru quickly.

“ fast once.! ” Satoru seriously.

Taps..

Satoru dodged, where he stood crushed, the dust clumped.

Buaaq..

Ryugu continued to hunt Satoru with his blood tail, although for a while he managed to dodge, finally Satoru was hit by the blood tail blow, he crashed far away.

Buucca..

Satoru hit the earth, reflected off several times, rolled around and finally lay weak.

Satoru looks in pain, “ is strong once. ” he looks upset.

Taps..

Ryugu landed in front of Satoru who was still lying down, his tail dancing in the air.

Satoru glanced at Ryugu who was close enough to him, then stood back up and looked at Ryugu.

“ no other choice, I will try it. ” Satoru looks serious.

Sriing..

Satoru pulled both of his pride swords from his back, a pair of swords connected to each other by iron chains on its hilt.

Ryugu stared intently at Satoru, he looked slightly distracted looking at Satoru who was grasping the pair of swords.

Grros..

Ryugu shouted loudly at Satoru, the wind blowing so fiercely, like an air cannon.

Sraak..

Satoru was pushed back, his legs eroding the surface of the earth, but he was still standing.

Satoru closed his eyes with his arms, “ when it was just a shout, but the pressure was already like this. ” his inner being tried to strengthen the balance.

after a while like that, Ryugu finally stopped shouting, and Satoru could take a breath and prepare to attack.

“ phew.” Satoru exhaled softly and prepared to dart, his hands clasped tightly onto his two swords, “ either my feelings alone, but it seemed like this pair of swords of mine was eager to slash at you.!! ” he shouted while smiling wickedly.

Ryugu stared intently at Satoru with frightening eyeballs, his teeth looking so pointy, his body filled with blood that came out of nowhere.

Sraak..

the next second, Ryugu pointed the tip of his pointed tail towards Satoru, darting so fast.

“ Sword Style, Blanket Dancing. ” Satoru.

Sriing.. Sraak..

the next second, a white light seemed to be moving around so quickly as if it was chopping something, along with the sound of flesh being torn apart.

Taps..

Satoru landed with his position as if he had just slashed something, on both his swords clinging to fresh blood.

Satoru glanced back, “ did it work.? ” turns out Ryugu is behind him.

Ryugu was silent on the spot, at first he looked fine, but suddenly his tail was separated, chopped off, his stomach was also hit by slashes and almost cut off.

Css..

ryugu's entire blood tail disappeared, his body returned to normal, but his wound did not heal, the slash on his stomach made his body almost separate, he fell down and lay weakly staring at the afternoon sky.

Satoru turned around, he looked at Ryugu seriously, “ why? it should have been if he Devils could easily regenerate. why didn't he do it, lest.?! ” he looks thinking, “ he can not do it. ” he continued.

Taps.. Taps..

the sound of someone's footsteps, approaching where Satoru and Ryugu were, that person was Sinam.

Sinam looked at Ryugu who was lying weakly full of blood from a distance, he stopped his steps for a moment, “ Ryugu... you.?! ” without cue, tears dripping down his cheeks.

Sinam ran towards Ryugu, “ Ryugu...!!! ” he shouted, he looked very sad.

Satoru was still silent in place, he looked at his two swords, “ I sensed a power coming into this sword. ” his murmur was flat, yet he suddenly flinched, “ so, yes.. I've heard of the sword of the leader of the Taro Clan in the Shakayama era, a sword capable of sealing the power of Satan.. The demons that were hit by his attacks were also unable to regenerate. ”

Sinam was already near Ryugu who was lying down, he crouched down and embraced Ryugu, “ why? why are you doing this.? ” ask Sinam with tears flowing.

Ryugu looks weak, “ of course to save you. ” he said slowly.

“ I mean. Why did you save us, you shouldn't care as much as you usually do. ” Sinam looks very sad.

“ I don't know, I don't know either, seeing yourself trying to endure it all alone, my body as if moving on its own to help you. ” Ryugu replied, “ I may look unconcerned, I always pay attention to everything. ” he continued.

Sinam stared at Ryugu's almost-cut stomach, “ with wounds like.. you... ” he said while crying, “ basic suck, why can this happen? it's all my fault.!! ” shears.

Ryugu glanced at the slash wound on his stomach,“ you were right, with a wound as severe as this I would end.” he said then looked at Sinam, “ stop crying, it's not your fault, after all I'm the one who was hurt, and I'm the one who was injured, why are you crying.? ” continued.

“ stupid base, although we rarely talk, but. I consider you a friend. I do not want to lose my friend again, but. ” said Sinam still crying, I do not want to lose my friend, “ but I always fail and lose precious people to me one by one. ” he continued.

Stunned Ryugu, “ friends.? ” said, then smiled thinly, “ so, yes. now I understand ‘ friends ’ you mean so far. ” he continued.

“ friend is, someone who can share the pain with us, even if we are injured, can feel the pain, and vice versa. ” said Ryugu smiled, saying, “ now I get something very valuable in life, unfortunately I found it when I headed to death. ” he continued.

“ I believe, if you want to live quietly, never interfere in the affairs of others, that's why I choose to be alone and make friends with loneliness. ” Ryugu said, “ a thousand good will not make you like an angel, but with one mistake enough to make people judge you like a Devil, that is the way people look.. that's why I don't care about anyone. ” he continued with a thin smile.

“ may be true what you say, but, man is indeed the place of error, even if it fails to be a good person, I will always try to be a good person. ” Sinam said, slowly his tears began to subside.

Ryugu looked at Sinam, “ right you said, the word error only refers to humans, if we are afraid to make a mistake we will not dare to step, I mean a Devil full of mistakes. ” he said, then smiled.

Sinam surprised, “ Devils? what do you mean.?! ” he asked.
