Strena Animéga Part Sixteen

 Battle Of The

Demon Kings

The first thing that Wolfox did when they reached the room was put the head of the Oni he had killed on the throne of Kitsuné Ryu. The next thing that he did was notice that he was not there.

“So, he is in you old man!”

Yukino’s eye turned to a slit and his features changed to ones that were cruel and mischievous. He laughed and laughed like a fox with darkness behind it.

“Sooh! You figured me out, did you my old rival?”

“Yes!” He roared with a wicked and wild smile. “How could I not? I mean, the old man was far too honest for his own good! After all, once inside, it’s very difficult to get out!”

He let out a laugh.

“Weeell, it wasn’t him I wanted. However I agreed as I knew that he would lead me to the one that I really wanted!”

He dived at Strena. She dived out of the way. She pulled out her blades and pointed them at him. She suddenly felt cold as he looked at them almost like she was somehow naked in her clothes. His eyes widened.

“You can wield both of them?”

“Yes!”

He let out a laugh.

“Then that seals it! I must have you!”

“No!” She shouted as both lit up. He ran forward. She went to swing his sword at him until his features changed to Yukino.

“What? What are you-”

She stopped, then the features changed again.

“See! You can’t fi-ight me!” He sang and then chucked.

Then he dived to the left and she went to strike him but his features changed again. She was looking at Yukino and she stopped.

“Please kill me! For the sake of my honour! Kill me!” 

“I-I-” 

Then his features changed again. 

“See-heee!” 

She went to strike again but he switched to Yukino. They did this again and again and again as she started to cry as frustration built. Then he let out a laugh.

“Told you! Too easy!” He sang as a tail appeared behind him and hit her right in her face. Pain flooded her before all went black.

He was about to crouch down until a hand pulled him back. He jumped and drove his feet down and stomped on Cerpheres again and again and again. Then he threw out his leg at him. Yet he was grabbed by the ankle and laughed as he threw him across the wall. Then he seemed to vanish and appeared beside him. Then he flicked something out and he saw a wooden wheel that had a string attached to it wrapped around him. Then he was hit in the back. His head hit the ground and he too was knocked out.

He went to return to Strena only to see Bash had drawn her bow and Chashathrophogh had a ball of fire in his hand. Bash fired at him and a tail flicked out and he saw the fireball come at him with another tail and flicked that out of the way.

“Oh! But I won’t kill you! Promise, I won’t!”

Then Bash sent another arrow at her. Yet he caught sight of Chashathrophogh in the corner of his eye as he ran alongside him. Yet Bash sent arrow after arrow at him in rapid succession. He used his tails to deflect each and every one of them.

Then he was hit by the ball of fire. He spun in the air and landed near Strena. He looked down and smiled. Yet as an arrow flew at him, he caught it and cut Strena’s palm. Then he was about to cut his own when he felt an arrow in the side of his shoulder. He looked up at the row of arrows at him. Yet he ran and ran then he was hit by another ball of fire. Yet he still ran on and on. He saw the fire and jumped with a laugh. He dived at Chashathrophogh at the speed of a cheetah. He thrust his palm into his throat and then at Bash.

He dived at her and knocked her out before he even had the time to react.

“Now, it’s just meee aaaand yoooouuu!”

“No. That girl is my future host!” Wolfox snapped, racing towards him.

Kitsuné Ryu smiled as he reached him. He saw him draw his tiny daggers and he charged at him. He threw out his palm to him and it collided with his nose and mouth. Wolfox was drawn back yet Kitsuné Ryu spun and kicked his temple causing him to spin as he collided with the ground breaking the tiles beneath. He went to stomp on the back of his head but Wolfox spun and grabbed him by his ankle. He pushed up and rolled on the ground and shoved his foot into his heel.

The Kitsuné Ryu raised his hands, breaking Zaryb’s bones, and landed on his palms. He drew his legs in and flipped over and back in his feet. That was when he threw several tiny daggers but they passed right through the body. He let out a growl as he felt a hand on his shoulder.

“Now Vully? Is that the best that you can do?”

Suddenly he was pushed, but he did not budge. He pulled out several tiny daggers and threw them at him. He laughed and bounced up and on his head before spinning abs stomping on his face.

Wolfox thrust out his hands and gripped his ankles. He spun him then, as the body flung down he thrust his knee into his face. He flew back and soon he rocked forward and kneed him again and again and again like he was juggling a football. Then the body landed.

The next moment he was hit in the face. This dragged him to the side a few paces. Yet he drew several tiny daggers and threw ten at him. He caught them with his bare hands as blood dropped from his hand and laughed. He dropped the tiny daggers and licked the blood. Then he spat it out. It turned into red cotton as he reached him. The next moment he reached him he thrust his palm into his gut, winding him.

As he curled over he drove the side of his first into his gut as hard as he could, causing him to cough up blood. He punched up again and again and again. Then he threw a strong uppercut and he flew back. He raced to his already broken back. Then he smashed several tiles as he flung into the ground. That was when he kicked under the tile and kicked him again and again, dragging him further into the ground.

He rolled back, his body on and rolled up as he shot out a bright light into his face. He was momentarily blinded and a tile hit him in the back and he was on the ground. He felt a fist in the back of his head and he hit his forehead and he was on the ground again and again and again until he heard another crack in the old man’s back.

He heard Kitsuné Ryu thud next to him before he felt a fist in his throat and all went black.

Soon Kitsuné Ryu commando crawled over to Strena. He flopped his hand into her cut palm. He spoke an enchantment under his as their blood mixed and Yukino died as Kitsuné Ryu got what he wanted…
