"An ability similar to the Compass Needle that can sense fighting spirit?"
"No! Unlike the Compass Needle, this ability seems to be even more sensitive!"
"Before I even make a move, his body has already reacted!"
Could it be... like Kokushibo... that he has touched the supreme domain? Remembering the battle with Kokushibo long ago, which was like an adult toying with a child, Akaza's golden pupils trembled slightly. Impossible! I'd rather believe that the Doma in front of me is Kokushibo in disguise! That supreme domain, which can only be glimpsed by the strong who have honed their fighting skills to the extreme through tireless daily training, by a stroke of luck... It just doesn't fit with this Doma guy who only knows how to play around every day!
"No! There's still a difference." Akaza quickly calmed himself and suddenly stomped his foot on the ground. "Technique Deployment: Destructive Death - Compass Needle!"
A light blue twelve-pointed snowflake array suddenly unfolded beneath his feet, complementing the existing frost snowflakes on the ground, looking very beautiful and harmonious. "Wow! Lord Akaza and I have such great chemistry~" Doma's eyes widened in surprise. "Look! Don't we look so compatible now?"
Akaza habitually ignored this guy's daily foolishness and punched him hard in the mouth. "Ooh—so dangerous, so dangerous!" Doma chuckled and tilted his head to dodge, a look of lingering fear on his face. Then he narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Unfortunately, you still missed. Just by a little bit~"
Akaza's face was tense. He said nothing and continued to punch, following the senses of his Compass Needle. In his perception, Doma's fighting spirit had always been confusing. Although powerful, it didn't match his actual strength at all. Fighting spirit was the aura of a strong person honed through countless battles, the will to fight and kill during combat, and also the manifestation of life energy. Doma could be said to have none of the first two; the fighting spirit that could be sensed was only his powerful life energy.
Just as Akaza was about to lift his leg to kick, he sensed through his Compass Needle that Doma's body had already reacted. A thought flashed through his mind, and he planned to switch to a punch, but he found that Doma had made another subtle movement. His body suddenly froze.
"I had just had the thought to change my move. My body hadn't even had time to take any action..." Akaza's eyes slowly widened. "In other words, he directly perceived my thoughts!"
"This is completely different from Kokushibo!" he thought, an even stronger fighting spirit burning within him. "In a way, this guy's perception is even more acute!"
"Doma, let's have an all-out fight!" Akaza said loudly, his eyes blazing.
Doma, who was enthusiastically playing with Lord Akaza, was suddenly stunned. He stopped, blinking his beautiful eyes in confusion. "Eh? Why?" he asked, puzzled. "Weren't we having a great time playing? Why do we suddenly have to fight?"
"I don't want to Fighting and killing hurts feelings, Lord Akaza" Doma pouted and said in a whining tone.
"Cut the crap!" Akaza wrinkled his lips in disgust, feeling goosebumps all over his body. "Fight me!"
"Please don't~ Are you angry, Lord Akaza?"
"Because you haven't been able to hit me, so you feel bad, right?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I apologize. Please don't be angry~"
"How about I let you hit me a few times to let off some steam, okay?" Doma said with a pitiful expression.
A vein popped on Akaza's forehead, and his clenched fists made a cracking sound. "Destructive Death: Disorder..."
"Waaah—don't!" Before he could unleash his move, Doma's eyes widened in panic, and he turned and ran, crying. With each step he took, an exquisite snowflake pattern bloomed under his feet, and the white frost extended all the way into the dark forest.
Akaza was stunned for a long moment, then chased after him with a dark face. "Doma, don't run!" In all his long life, it was the first time he had met such a guy who, despite being strong, would cry and run away from a fight. He had no air of a strong person at all. He was truly... shameless!
"Then I'll stop, but you can't hit me," Doma turned his head back, his eyes teary.
"Fight me!" Akaza shouted angrily.
"Then I won't stop!" Doma showed a pitiful expression, and two clear streams of tears rolled down his cheeks. "Please don't fight, Lord Akaza~"
"How about I treat you to something to eat? Or a hot spring? Or ice skating? I can even sing and dance for you~"
Akaza looked at Doma, who was deliberately keeping the same speed as him, and the incessant chatter gave him a headache. His feigned crying was also infuriating. "Then I'll use a method you can't refuse!" Akaza suddenly stopped, his expression becoming cold again.
"Lord Muzan, I request a replacement blood battle against Doma," he sent a message in his mind.
Doma, who was running and crying in front, suddenly stopped, turned to look at him in disbelief, two pools of crystalline tears in his eyes. "Lord Akaza is initiating a replacement blood battle against me? Why?"
"We're the best of friends. How could you be so cold and heartless? Sob, sob, sob—" he covered his cheeks and accused him in a resentful tone.
Akaza: (???) I'll just watch you perform. I'm too lazy to speak.
Doma cried for a while and received no response. Only then did he slowly stop his tears and say with a pout, "I just don't know what to do with you, Lord Akaza." He sighed with a helpless look. My best friend is so willful. What can I do? I can only spoil him.
"Alright, alright, have it your way~" he tapped his head. "But don't worry, Lord Akaza. Even if I win, I will absolutely not eat you!" Doma felt it was better to make this clear in advance. Otherwise, if Lord Akaza also died like Lady Enyo, he felt he would be sad for the rest of his life.
After saying this, Doma looked at Akaza with an expectant expression, hoping to see him look moved and surprised.
"There's no need," Akaza frowned, turned sideways, and said in a cold tone. "If I win, I will definitely kill you!" Continuously fighting strong opponents to the death, until one day he was defeated and died, this was his destiny, a fitting end.
"Eh? Does Lord Akaza really want to eat me?" Doma tilted his head, a sad expression on his face. "That's so heartbreaking."
"But, if I think about it carefully..." he looked up and thought seriously for a while, his rainbow eyes suddenly lighting up, a pure smile on his face. "Being eaten by Lord Akaza... wouldn't be so bad~"
"At that time, my body will become a part of Lord Akaza, merge into Lord Akaza's flesh and blood, and become Lord Akaza's strength..."
"From then on, we will be inseparable, companions for eternity, never leaving each other." He cupped his cheeks, a shy blush appearing on his face. "To always accompany and protect Lord Akaza like this... just thinking about it is exciting and something to look forward to~"
"From now on, whenever Lord Akaza trains, fights, uses his abilities, sees the ice and snow in winter... he will think of me."
"Ah—what a thing to look forward to!"
Huh? The cold expression on Akaza's face gradually cracked. He opened his mouth, his delicate eyebrows twitching. He couldn't help but imagine the scene, and goosebumps broke out all over his body. He felt like he had been defiled. He wrinkled his face, suddenly raised a hand to support himself against a nearby tree, feeling his stomach churn and his complexion turn a deathly gray.
No! I take back what I said! If I ate this thing, I would be contaminated, right? I can't eat him! Absolutely not!
