Chapter 10

"Oni-chaan, is that you? I'm scared! It's so dark. waaah I'm scared"

Yuta thought that the stupid system had brought him a random low-powered girl from a world with monsters. The girl in front of him looked like no monster he had ever seen in anime. Moreover, she didn't seem to have as good eyesight as he did in this dark place.

"Hey!"

Yuta continued to approach the girl, troubled by the thought that he might have ruined a girl's life because of his system.

"Oni-chan, is that you?"

"No, I'm not your brother, but I'm here to protect you."

"Oni-chan, it is very dark here. Please help me."

Yuta frowned when he heard her call him brother again, but continued to approach her.

When she couldn't find anything around her to touch, she fearfully sat down on the ground and hugged her knees. Meanwhile, Yuta was confused because even if there was no light source around, he could already see everything clearly.

"sniffle... I-I don't want to be alone... sob... It's so dark... Waaah... P-Please, someone... hic... Help me...!"

Yuta thought it was pointless to keep her waiting like this, so he approached her and the distance between them decreased to almost a meter.

"Hey, I'm here to save you, take my hand, everything will be fine."

The girl stopped pretending when she realized that Yuta's voice was coming very close. As the girl raised her head and jumped towards Yuta, her exposed arms and face were covered with strange veins.

As her sharp teeth emerged and were about to bite Yuta in the neck, a fist covered in red flames slammed into her face, knocking her back a few meters.

The girl rolled a few meters and then sat up in a disgusting position. Her innocent appearance had completely disappeared, her skin was covered with green veins and her nails had grown long and sharp. The girl slowly turned her head in the direction of the yuta and said, "How did you notice? More importantly, what kind of demon hunter are you, where is your katana?"

"What kind of girl would be so comfortable being approached by a man she knows is not her brother? You're not very good at pretending, and even if you were a real little girl, I would have to kill you first to get you out of here."

Yuta could tell what world she was from by the way she looked and what she said about the demon hunter. Remembering the well-known demons of the demon hunter world, Yuta guessed that this girl was an ordinary demon, but this guess did not change the fact that if he could not defeat her, she would slowly eat him.

Yuta raised his hands again and let his fists burn with cursed energy, hoping that the girl before him, an ordinary demon, was incapable of healing herself.

"Hahaha, you are an interesting kid. I thought you were a simple food, but it looks like you are the kind of fun food"

Yuta was looking at his profile screen to check how low his cursed energy was when he heard the demon girl's voice and snapped to attention. Yuta turned his head towards the demon girl and saw something he didn't want to see.

The previous punch filled with cursed energy had disfigured her head a bit, but now her jaw moved on its own and was completely healed.

Yuta had already confirmed that his cursed energy was working on the demon, and remembering the information from his previous life, he realized that he only had two choices now.

He has to use his cursed energy to cut or sever the girl's neck, if that doesn't work he will have to beat her until she loses her ability to heal again, but this possibility is not very realistic because it is more likely that his cursed energy will run out before that happens.

Yuta stared intently at the demon girl in front of him while the demon girl stared back. The pain from Yuta's blow could still be felt by the demon girl. The pain the demon girl had felt since she became a demon was much less than when she was human, but the pain of the punch she had just received was unlike any other pain.

As the seconds ticked by, the tension between the two grew stronger and stronger. Finally, it was the demon girl who lost patience and attacked.

The moment Yuta started running over the demon girl, he realized that his opponent had much higher physical attributes than him. Although Yuta successfully dodged the first punch thrown by the demon girl, she stopped her movement and Yuta was too late to react when she opened her hand and swung her claws in the opposite direction.

Yuta quickly stepped back and looked at the source of the burning mark on his chest and saw three claw marks running the length of his chest. Yuta was worried and wondered if he would turn into a demon like in the anime. Finally, realizing that he would not know the answer until it was too late, he injected a large amount of cursed energy into his fists and ran towards her.

Now there was no choice for Yuta but to kill the demon girl before he turned into a demon himself. Actually, Yuta couldn't remember exactly what manga series he had read since it had been a long time since he had read it, because, in the Demon Slayer series, people had to be directly injected with blood by a powerful demon or Kibustsuji Muzan to turn into demons.
