Chapter 14 - Chapter 14

3rd Pov:

Standing on a pointed cliff, Xicor stood with his arms crossed looking down, with his mask on concealing his face, at the group of demon defence force members looking around the area, not knowing that he is watching them with Shikoku standing next to next, masking their presence.

Xicor used his disaster flames and forced a Shuuki to combine to get as big as possible to get the 2nd units attention before killing it, which seems to have worked.

"Just to make sure, that's the 2nd units chief" he asked curiously while pointing at a woman with short, wild red hair with orange tips at the end of her hair and red eyes.

"Correct, she is the one, the other one to her right is the vice-chief" Shikoku says with a predatory smile while pointing at a woman with long purple hair and green eyes.

Xicor nodded, "then let's begin" he said as he leap in the air as his fist was covered in cursed energy as 7 cursed fists come smashing down on the group.

The group quickly notice the attack and attempt to move out of the way but everything was covered with large fists smashing on the ground with smoke and dust kick off with each impact.

Xicor landed on the ground, eyeing his work before scratching the back of his head, "did I go overboard and kill them?"

Around his numerous were numerous craters with not a single person in sight, but that was quickly dismissed by a fire ball heading straight for him.

Coating his right arm with cured energy reinforcement, he deflects the attack into a wall, "guess not"

Standing on top of boulder is the chief, her short red hair waving in the wind, "Oi, state your name and your purpose here immediately" she barked out as flames flashed on her shoulders.

Xicor was about to speak but immediately shut his mouth, 'better not reveal that I'm a man, it'll make their search for me way harder if I go into the human world, good thing I'm wearing the trench coat I took'

Xicor remained silent, not answering her which made the flames on her shoulder flare up more, "alright, the silent treatment then, I'll force you to talk"

With that said she blitz's forward, leaving a stream of flames behind, she reeled her fist back and throw a punch directly at Xicor's mask.

Xicor brought up his hand and catches it. She used her free hand to hit his side but Xicor steps out of the way and grab her wrist with his free hand before launching his knee directly into her chin.

Her eyes flash for a second before blasting fire from her mouth covering Xicor, the chief freed her hands and jumped back to gain distance from him.

As the flames and smoke dispersed, it show Xicor unharmed with not a single burn mark on him though there are bits of embers on the edges of his coat. Just as he saw the chiefs eyes flash, Xicor used his anti-gravity to form a barrier in front of him to repel the flames.

'Not as good as Gojo but still something I can use before I get infinity' Xicor thought.

Xicor dash forward and threw and fist directly into the chiefs stomach before grabbing her head and throwing her away into a wall before slapping away a fireball directly at her.

The chief crashed into the wall, grunting as she stabilised herself and immediately launch a fireball to counter Xicor.

Gritting her teeth, she dashed through the smoke after firing two fireballs. Seeing the balls of fire, Xicor jump out of the way but that was what the chief wanted as she appeared behind him and launched a kick with her leg coated into fire.

Xicor was kicked down to ground but he manoeuvred his body around as he skidded across the ground before crossing his arms up to his face as a fire fist slammed into him.

The cheif pushed Xicor back across the rock as dust and smoke was picked up, Xicor pushed the chiefs fist to side as he coated his fists in cursed energy with the chief coating hers in fire.

They continued to stare at one another as their bodies skidded across the barren floor before stopping and engaging in hand to hand combat.

Their hands and legs were a blur, both deflecting and redirecting their hands with their knees being brought as support, their legs moving across the barren land with their backs facing different directions.

'Fire abilities,and that weird red energy that she used to summon those fists, could it be that she has two abilities?" The chief thought with a frown as she pressed on.

'She fights pretty well and her usage of her flames is good but she is no jogo' Xicor thought as he too frowned.

Both continued to clash with one another before both of their fists collided evenly as let out a sonic boom, pushing both back from the shock wave.

Xicor immediately fired a fireball but the chief twisted her body out of the way as the fireball hit the wall behind her.

Xicor smirked behind his mask as the fireball didn't explode but formed a small volcano. The small volcano grew before bursting out.

The chief snapped to sound and jumped to the side but Xicor was already waiting as Ryu rammed into the chief and smashing her into a wall.

The chiefs eyes flash again before she exploded as flames escaped her body in all directions. Ryu took the brunt of the attack making him scream out in pain and fly away from the woman.

Steam escaped her body but her spirit stands strong as she dashed forward in front of Xicor and punching him into the chest but he blocked it with his forearm.

Xicor retaliated by using his free hand and punch the woman in the face but the chief ducked under and swipe his legs.

She blasted his form with fire, launching him into a wall. Rising slowly from the impact zone, he used the wall behind him as support.

Xicor looked down at his trench coat to find it very warm but not on fire as he expected, 'does her ability limit the use of her limits to how much her body can handle before she sets herself on fire or dehydrate herself?' Xicor thought.

Xicor straightened up as he looked at the approaching chief, 'her body is enhanced thanks to the peaches so I shouldn't think her body as a regular human'

Xicor looked up slightly, 'how long are you gonna stay up there'

Just as Xicor thought of that, Ryu came rushing down and smack the chief with his tail. The chief bounced off the ground but she twist her body and dug her hand into the ground as she came to a stop.

She gritted her teeth but just as Ryu was about to charge in a volley of rocks came smashing into him knocking off his momentum and crash into ground.

The chiefs eyes widen a look to where those rocks came from and her eyes land on her vice-chief who had her hands up into front of her.

Xicor's eyes also land on the woman, 'great, more of them are jumping in'

He clapped his hands to together and fired a piercing blood, the beam of blood traveled through the wind towards the vice-chief.

Her eyes widened at the incoming attack but she only managed to move out of way to have the beam go through her shoulder.

She yelped out in pain and held her shoulder in pain. Lowering his hands, Xicor turned to the chief to find her fist directly in front of his chest, with fire coating her fists.

Quickly acting he uses cursed energy reinforcement to nullify the impact. As soon as the fist landed, a blast of flames shot out as his body blurred into a cliff.

The chief let out a sigh as steam blew out of her mouth, she turned her attention to her vice-chief. She ran over to check her condition, "Iwa, are you okay" she asked worriedly.

"I-I'm fine, Chief, you just worry about the threat than me" Iwa said as she clutched her shoulder.

The chief nodded as he shifted her gaze to Xicor who was walking with his hands in his pockets, it may look arrogant but his eyes analysed both of them, the bond they have, the wound Iwa has as well as her ability to manipulate rocks.

His mind formulated each detail that could be a weakness to the chief's defences, aim for her link of moral, the vice-chief.

Even if he targets her, the poison inside the piercing blood would still end her without treatment. It's not just the attack itself that has the poison, it's his whole blood in general any attack infused with his blood, that lands and creates a wound will be poisoned.

Smirking behind his mask, Ryu slithered its form around Xicor, ensuring he can see the two women, once it was satisfied it roared at the two.

"Where are the others?" The chief asked not taking her eyes of the enemy in front of her.

"Hiding around and waiting for the right moment to strike just like I have" she breathed out.

Xicor oblivious to their conversation has already sensed the presence of the others and took a wild guess on what they're up to, 'striking me at the same time at the right moment when I'm left open, not a bad plan but their strength is nothing, then again, most villains thought the same and then they got their shot rocked' he sighed, thinking he's becoming a generic villain.

'Better have Ryu deal with them, I can hold her off by myself until he can support me, better play it safe then regret it next time' he thought as Ryu roared up at the sky and flied through the air up before blitzing towards one of the hidden demon defence force members.

"S-She can sense them" Iwa muttered, shocked that the creature attacking each spot where the others were.

"Damn bastard" the chief gritted out before flying at Xicor with flames trailing behind her, Xicor leaped towards her with cursed energy coating his hands.

Their fist collide causing a shockwave to resonate out, their bodies drift to ground as the exchange blow after blow until they landed on the ground to stabilise themselves before going back at it again.

Xicor threw a punch but the chief moved her head out of the way before locking it with her head, shoulder and arm before using her leg to kick at his side where his arm is trapped.

Grunting from the impact which made the chief to raise an eyebrow from the tone of his voice, which made her hold loosen.

Xicor used the opportunity to free his hand and grab her by the wrist and lift her over his head and smash into the ground.

The chief rolled to side as she avoided a foot come crashing down on her previous position, causing a small crater.

The chief go up but she was blasted in the side by a small volcano and crash into a wall. Xicor grinned behind his mask as he prepared to fire a torrent of flames but he twisted his body to side to dodge a rock going past him.

Kneeling on the cliff, Iwa had her free hand stretched out with her other limp. Xicor narrowed his eyes behind his mask but before he could launch the attack a knee came crashing into his stomach before his head was grabbed from the back and thrown up before a boulder came crashing into him and into a wall.

Xicor melted the boulder, he slowly staggered up, almost toppling on the ground before using the wall as support.

'That hurt like a bitch, ow' he thought as he rolled his shoulder.

He glanced at both of them, watching as the vice-chief was trembling before collapsing back alerting the chief but as soon as her eyes were off Xicor, he blurred behind her and coat his fist with cursed energy, directly aiming for her back, but as the fist grew closer the air around it started to distort.

For the first time in his life of being in the world, Xicor Samiel has landed his first...

"Black Flash!!" He screamed out as black lightning shot out from the impact.

The pain was indescribable that her eyes turn white and her body blasted away, she didn't get the chance to hear his voice due to her focus on the condition on her vice-chief.

Her body bounced and bounced against the hard land before crashing into a boulder, completely splitting it in half.

Xicor let out a breath, his body feeling more energised than before, before he could completely let himself get fully into it, the system window popped up.

Xicor wanted to laugh out loud but held it back. Shaking his head, Xicor grabbed Iwa's ankle and threw her to where the other demon defence force members were, completely exhausted from fighting Ryu but still managed to defeat it which did surprise Xicor.

Xicor jumped down from where he was a walked to where the chief was as a pillar of fire shot up in the sky, making Xicor tense and narrow his eyes behind his mask.

'Is she calling for reinforcements?' He questioned but that theory is highly likely considering how big it was so Xicor prepared to end this fight as he got into a stance.

From the smoke, the Chief staggered out breathing heavily and if Xicor saw her back he would see a large purple bruise mark but despite the pain, even at a soul level, she got into a stance of her own.

Shikoku watched the entire fight from where she was standing, occasionally changing position to get better views and follow the main cast.

Her eyes never left Xicor, each slight movement was documented into her mind even the suffering of the humans was documented.

"Why did you call me here, Shikoku?" A woman's voice called out behind her, almost demanding yet soft.

The smirk Shikoku has grows wider as she greets the woman behind her, "well, I wanted to introduce you to someone who's quite similar to you who has joined us and it's quite a surprise, wanna have peek?"

"Naruhime"
