In just a few seconds, the demon's legs were reattached, and it stumbled to its feet.

Its eyes were wide open in anger, and its blood-red vertical pupils were about to drip blood!

Although as a demon, ordinary injuries cannot kill him, even if his neck is cut open by ordinary swords, he can struggle to grow back and become a complete body.

However, this recovery has its limits.

After each meal, the flesh and blood bring not only satisfaction and pleasure, but also a powerful sense of strength.

Repairing the body requires consuming the energy of blood and flesh within the body.

It's not the kind of big demon that can eat people all the time, and it can't be compared to the legendary Ghost Moons. It has very little blood and flesh energy in its body.

The more times his limbs regenerate, the weaker he becomes, which affects his hunting efficiency. How could he not be furious!

That damn brat keeps causing me trouble!

The bird's repeated provocations seemed to ignite its ferocity, and it charged forward with no mercy! Like a heavy cannon, it crashed into the back of the bird, which was still fleeing in disarray!

boom--!!

A sweet taste rose in his throat, his internal organs shifted instantly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt as if his bones were about to fall apart!

He was blasted away and crashed heavily into the snow, his body carving a shallow, scarlet pit into the snow beneath him!

The bird tried to get up, but then felt a sharp pain in its shoulder!

Pfft!

The demon had already reached him, and with its sharp claws, it pierced the bird's shoulder, impaling him!

"I told you, I'll tear you to pieces!" the demon grinned maliciously.

Feeling the dizzying sensations and hearing the ferocious laughter, the bird could feel blood gushing down its body, staining the snow.

I acted impulsively... all that talk of gratitude and obligation is laughable...

He helplessly felt the snowflakes hitting his face; time seemed to slow down at that moment...

Am I going to die?

Like those nameless corpses in Rukongai who died by the stinking ditch and turned into spirit particles?

Like those frozen passersby who were gnawed clean by stray dogs?

Like... an old man, having his throat ripped open by a monster, lying dead in the cold snow with his eyes wide open...

......No

no way!!

A violent, resentful, and angry voice suddenly exploded in Asuka's mind! It was more ferocious than any fight over moldy bread, more insane than when he was surrounded and beaten, spitting blood and wildly swinging his fists!

"How could I die here!"

"I want to live! I haven't settled my scores yet! I haven't killed the people I wanted to kill!"

"These humiliations... I will repay that bespectacled freak a hundredfold! I will make all those arrogant bastards taste their own medicine!"

Feeling its prey writhing violently in its claws, the demon regained its interest and mocked, "Oh dear, oh dear, why are you only feeling scared now?"

"Yes, like that, writhe, struggle! Like a dying wild dog!"

"Heh...heh..."

A faint hiss came from the bird's throat, like the low growl of a dying beast. The bird gripped the broken knife tighter and tighter, its nails digging into its flesh, and blood slowly flowed down the hilt.

"It's over, kid!"

The demon opened its gaping maw, grabbed the bird's body, and prepared to slowly savor it from head to toe.

"...Chew it up..."

"What?"

A low hissing sound rang in the demon's ears, causing it to pause in confusion for a second. Then it was surprised to find that the little devil had actually fallen from mid-air.

Eh?

Before it could even react, it turned its head and saw that its hand had been... cut off!

"ah--!!"

puff! !

Blood spurted out, and the demon let out an even more piercing roar than before!

The bird mustered its last bit of strength from somewhere and suddenly slashed through the demon's claws!

He rolled to the ground, half of a wriggling ghost claw still stuck in his body, but he was completely unaware of it. He simply took a lunge position, twisting his five fingers into claws and digging them tightly into his blood-stained broken knife!

"Damn brat! I'll crush you!!"

The evil spirit gave up; it no longer intended to slowly savor this human who was as difficult to kill as a bedbug and always caused it trouble and injury!

To avoid any further mishaps, though it was a bit of a shame, it decided to completely turn the bird into mincemeat!

The sharp claws swooped down, this time aiming for the bird's skull! They were so fast that they left five blurry black afterimages in the air!

However, all of this seemed extremely slow to the bird at this moment.

I will live! No matter how ugly or pathetic I may be!

Even if the opponent is immortal, even if the opponent is a god! I will still bite off a piece of flesh from him!

A voice, originating from the depths of his soul, mingled with the strange trembling and hum of the longsword in his hand, like the first thunderclap at the dawn of creation, was desperately squeezed out from between his blood-stained teeth:

"Chew it up and swallow it—you scoundrel!"

Om-! !

The long sword in his hand suddenly shot out a dazzling burst of light the moment he uttered his true name!

A surge of energy, a mixture of blood red and gray-iron, erupted forth, filled with a primal, violent, and ferocious aura of fury!

A completely new sense of power surged through him, making him feel as if the knife had become a part of his body, an extra arm, a new torso!

At that moment, he suddenly remembered that the long sword in his hand was not some broken sword, but the weapon called "Asauchi" that the bespectacled man had stuffed into his body!

The light instantly engulfed the bird's sword-wielding arm and spread wildly along the blade!

The deadly claws that were reaching for him seemed to hit an invisible wall the instant they touched the edge of the violent light, and could not advance even an inch further!

laugh--!!

The terrifying sound of burning flesh filled the air, causing the monster's expression to change drastically. It quickly withdrew its claws in pain and staggered back several steps, increasing the distance between itself and the bird.

At this moment, for the first time, the horror and fear that should have belonged to the hunted were revealed in its blood-red vertical pupils!

The intense light came quickly and went quickly.

A gust of wind carrying snow and sand blew by, the light faded, and the figure of the bird kneeling on the ground was revealed.

Although he was still covered in blood, the demonic claws that had pierced his shoulder were gone, leaving only a terrible blood hole. His cotton-padded clothes had also changed into a pure black, tattered kimono top and wide trousers.

And the broken knife in his hand had completely changed its appearance.

The rusty longsword was gone; in his hand was a large, gray-black serrated sword with an unusual metallic sheen!

The blade was covered with jagged, jagged, canine-like serrations, making the blade wider and heavier, giving it a powerful and ferocious feel in the hand....

Just by staring at the cold glint of the blade, one could almost hear the low, faint howls of a pack of dogs, and a terrifying sense of oppression, as if being watched by countless hungry wild dogs, instantly overwhelmed one's heart!

"You! What kind of monster are you?!"

The demon clutched its injured claw in terror, its voice no longer carrying the same ease it had displayed moments before.

It was astonished to discover that its physical body was unable to recover.

The burning sensation on the claws was intense, but it wasn't flames; rather, it was a tearing sensation that penetrated to the very soul.

It was like being constantly bitten and torn apart by a hungry wolf, only to be bitten again and then fiercely seized. The evil spirit could feel the loss of life energy within its body, but the healing speed was unimaginably slow!

This human is a demon! This is blood demon magic! Such thoughts popped into its limited understanding.

The bird slowly raised its head. Although the bloodstains on its body were still glaring and the wound on its shoulder was extremely horrifying, its eyes were exceptionally bright.

"Pay back the old man's blood debt!"
