Chapter 36: ENCHANTED BLADE
"Don't call me that!" Tomura yelled. "Miserable?, You're happy that I left, you forgot about me the very next week when I was replaced, it was like I never existed. Yaze despised me, our sensei despised me, everyone else did the same, nobody liked me, just because..... just because I'm not a supernatural like the rest, because I possess no karma, because my bloodline is cursed"
"But....."
"I was about to die, I called out to you guys for help but you didn't come to my rescue. You were all glad that I died, you all hate me. I won't forgive you for that, I will never forgive you"
"But I didn't, Yaze didn't, none of us despised you. We love you, didn't we promise ourselves that we'll be there for you?. What more do you need?. I actually... Lo.. love you"
"Don't give me that shit!" Tomura yelled. "Thomas is not here anymore, now it's Tomura"
Tomura walked to Kanade. "It pains me to end it like this. I knew you loved me all along, but you fell in love with the wrong guy. At least, I'm the last person you're going to see before you die"
Kanade stretched his right hand and was about to touch Kanade's cheek when he felt a sharp pain on his hand.
The barrier was cut open as blood rushed out of Tomura's hand and the transfigured humans. Ayaka suddenly jumped in and grabbed Kanade, pulling her out instantly.
"AHHHHHHH!!!!!. It hurts, it hurts" Tomura fell down, holding his right arm as blood forced their way out of his body. "Why does it hurt so much?, It won't heal!. I was not supposed to feel the pain!!!"
Tomura thought to himself, he had underestimated the kid. She was fast, the clone was exactly met to keep her away, he could only control one body at a time that was why he didn't fight back when he was alone with Kanade. The clone was meant to keep running, but still, she was able to catch up to it and dispatch it and was still fast enough to come to save Kanade. I was too busy I didn't even realize that the clone had been dispatched.
"Sensei!, Are you okay?" Ayaka asked, still facing Tomura as he stood up slowly.
"I'm fine" Kanade replied, she was really grateful that Ayaka came just that moment. "Thanks to you"
"Don't mention. Right now, let's focus on him" Ayaka said.
"You stupid kid!. Why did you do that?. Why did you cut my hand off?" Tomura yelled. "And the barrier, can't you see it was made with transfigured humans. Why did you kill them?"
"They were already going to die, the least I could do is end it quickly" Ayaka replied. "I thought you're a demon, if you really cared about them, then why did you do this to them in the first place?. I can hear them, their cry for help. Killing them was the only way to save them now"
This girl, she just said what Akatsuki would say. Did Yaze really trained her?, because Yaze will never say such, he always tries to find a way to help them.
Tomura stood up, there was no point in holding back now. He will just have to go all out. He still had some transfigured humans which he was saving for later.
"Soul transfiguration: human barrier" Tomura spat out some molten objects and it began to flow covering the area again.
"Don't let him activate his technique" Kanade ordered.
Ayaka rushed him with a punch right on his cheek, sending him to Kanade as she punched him back and Ayaka punched him again, sending him back. They keep on with the punches sending him to each other, not giving him any time to recover from the last one.
Tomura couldn't fight back, so he changed his own form. Suddenly growing three rotating blades out of his body, Kanade bent down to dodge the blade as it cuts through the pillars holding the ceiling of the subway. Ayaka caught the blade instead of dodging and cut through them using a short sword she was holding.
The blade was about forty centimeters long, with a brown handle holding the sharp blade that was radiating a bright blue light. He knew that sword, that was one of the enchanted blade: The absorber blade, Zenitsu.
The absorber blade could absorb any technique, no matter the karma nature. No wonder the cut was painful, she was infusing the blade with her karma and using it to attack him. His body can't adapt to the demon cat karma because he's a male, and after the cut, he can't quickly regenerate his wounded limb.
So that was it, Tomura thought. "Ho... How did you get that blade" He asked, frightfully. "How did you get the absorber blade?. unless, you are the kid that survived after the whole Kamisato clan was wiped out!"
Ayaka remained silent.
"Come on!. Answer me, you little brat" Tomura yelled. "You must be the descendant of the demon cat"
"I have nothing to tell a demon like you" Ayaka stated. "I will avenge all the people you have ever hurt"
Ayaka swung her short sword aiming at Tomura neck, he dodge and tried to touch her but Kanade used a wall to block her, as Ayaka jumped back.
"Is going to hard fighting him and avoiding him making any contact with us" Ayaka said.
"But luck is still on our side since his technique is only one way" Kanade reminded. "Which means we can punch him all we want without giving him an opportunity to recover"
Ayaka and Kanade dashed towards Tomura for another round of their series of punches.
"I've had enough of this!" Tomura said as he was about to put his palms together, he was about to activate another of his technique. "Domain Expans....."
Ayaka quickly cuts his arm off and Kanade punched him, sending him crashing to the wall. Tomura lost consciousness.
Kanade and Ayaka walked to him, still on alert.
"Looks like he's unconscious" Ayaka announced joyfully. "We just defeated a demon!"
Ayaka quickly ran to the demon.
"A demon can't lose consciousness, unless it's a t..." Kanade yelled. "Ayaka stop!!!"
Suddenly the demon unconscious body exploded.
