Katana devil

*BANG!!*

A silver haired youth gently lowered his glasses, and examined a devil whose body was currently sprawled on the ground after being hurled through multiple buildings with immense force.

"You're tenacious." He calmly spoke, while still looking at the figure of the katana devil who was slowly rising from the rubble, with a bloody figure.

"Die!!!" The katana devil roared out once more, before he bolted forward at immense speeds, leapt into the sky and slashed his katanas towards the silver haired youth.

"Sigh. You never learn do you?" The youth sighed before he bolted forward at immense speeds. It was as if space itself was propelling his body forward, as he traversed the seemingly long distance with a step and leapt into the air as well.

With but a simple glance from his piercing blue eyes, the katana devil was pulled towards him as if he was a magnet, by an attractive force, as the youth grabbed him by the neck and smashed his figure into the ground, with an incredible amount of force which shattered the ground, forming a large crater.

"Shit!! We gotta help the boss." Multiple armed figures began rushing towards the silver haired youth armed with guns and began firing on sight.

*BOOM!*

However, the bullets stopped right before him, as if an invisible wall protected his body, and with another glance, an immense attractive force crashed into their bodies. Their frail bodies immediately exploded on contact, as a massive shockwave erupted, destroying a building in the process.

The silver haired youth smiled seeing the result of his attack, but he instantly bent over and dodged a slash from a katana, as if he had eyes on the back of his head.

"I'm going to have my revenge today even if it's is the last thing I do!!!" The katana devil roared in fury, before he got into a stance, akin to an experienced samurai warrior about to draw his sword and unleash an powerful attack.

"Oh?" Satoru raised an eyebrow and looked on with interest. "If you are able to surprise me with this attack, I'll spare you.." He smiled and calmly placed his hands in his pockets, waiting for the enemy to unleash the attack.

.

'What sort of Devil Hunter is he? Why did I have no information of someone as strong as him?!!' The girl from before who had retreated into the shadows watched Satoru's impressive show off with a little bit of shock on her face.

Normally she wasn't one to get easily impressed but after watching his exploits, she had no choice but to rate him at the very top of her list, maybe even at the level of someone like Makima herself.

.

"I'm still waiting for the attack." Satoru rolled his eyes impatiently, seeing the impressive amounts of negative energy the katana devil was accumulating.

*HARRGHHH!!*

The katana devil roared out, before he vanished with but a simple step forward.

*WHOOSH!**BOOM!!*

Multiple gusts of wind exploded from the point of contact, followed by a large explosion which caused a mushroom cloud of dust to rise, like the remnants of a nuclear explosion.

"Hahahaha!!! I finally have my revenge!! Grandfather! I have finally avenged you!" The dust settled after a few seconds only to reveal the katana devil laughing victoriously.

"It's too early to be celebrating, don't you think so?" Suddenly a shackle resounded, before he turned around only to see Satoru standing in the same place he had been standing from before, only this time, a large crater had formed under his feet.

"You!!! How are you still alive!!" The katana devil panicked instantly, seeing the seemingly dead opponent alive and well. It was as if the attack hadn't even touched the helm of his clothes and the cocky smile and awe inspiring demeanor made him look untouchable.

"Your attack wasn't bad, but unfortunately, your movements couldn't escape my eyes." Satoru had a carefree smile, as he lectured.

"You!!!" The katana devil instantly retreated, wanting to escape the clutches of the silver haired youth who currently resembled death itself in his eyes.

"You want to escape? Not this time." Satoru chuckled, lifted two fingers like a claw and swiftly waved them.

*Bang!*

The next moment, a massive gash swept out, as the legs of the katana devil were cleaved off neatly, along with a building nearby as blood gushed out in torrents.

"Please!! No!!! Stay away!!!" The katana devil roared out in pain, as it tried its best to crawl away from the seemingly devilish figure who was slowly walking towards him.

"I did promise to kill you didn't I? If I go back on my word, then what sort of a human am I?" Satoru couldn't help but laugh, seeing the miserable state of the katana devil.

.

'No!!! I gotta help katana out!! If he dies, everything would go haywire!!!' The girl in the pink hoodie instantly grimaced, before crossing her fingers.

"Snake!!" She roared out, as a massive serpentine creature burst out of her shadows and shot towards Satoru who was calmly walking towards the katana devil.

"Please!! Spare me!!" The katana devil kept roaring out in fear and instantly reverted to his human form. His face was wet with tears and his face was morphed with terror.

Satoru calmly walked forward with his hands in his pockets and stood a few meters away from the man.

Stretching forth his palm, space began to distort, like shattered mirrors, but right as he was about to fire an attack, he extended his arm towards his left.

"You're in my way....."

The next moment, a round blue energy sphere, the size of a basketball, materialized along with the distorted space and blasted towards the large serpentine creature who was only a few meters away from Satoru's figure with jaws wide opened, ready to swallow him whole.

*BOOM!*

A massive explosion set off in a moment, as multiple buildings exploded or crumbled due to the immense amount of force from that one single attack.

"Heh??!!" The young girl couldn't help but gawk in surprise while a hint of fear materialized in her eyes. Her contracted devil, the snake devil, a powerful devil at least in her opinion had been obliterated in a single attack from the silver haired youth. The only remnants left of it were the bloody stains that were slashed all over the ground.

"If you want to attack, don't hide in the shadows." Satoru spoke and instantly looked towards a certain building. Instantly the pink haired girl took a step backwards with a shiver, seeing as how he had been able to pinpoint her accurate distance even with such a distance between them.

She immediately made a run for it, leaving the rest of the men and everyone else and escaping for her own life.

"Now where were we?" Satoru turned to the man in front of him with a sadistic smile, and just as he was about to obliterate him, a surge of negative energy out of nowhere crashing into the man's body, as his body exploded, creating a blood mess.

"What the...". Satoru was glad he had used infinity on time, else he would be been splashed with blood and intestines.

Suddenly around the battlefield, all the men holding unto guns were instantly turned into ground paste accompanied by massive surges of negative energy.

"Satoru! What the hell is going on?!" The team instantly regrouped, seeing the exploded body parts around them, as they wondered whether the attacker was a friend or enemy.

'This energy...Makima.." Satoru scrunched his eyebrows and instantly used infinity, feeling the negative energy instantly crash towards him. However, a few meters away from the infinity, it disappeared like it was never there, leaving only a massive crater beneath his feet.

'So this is how you want to play, Makima.' He thought, before he burst into a fit of laughter, as the others looked on in surprise and frowns.

.

Kyoto... shrine...

Meanwhile, the attacker, who was none other than Makima stood on the compound of a shrine, and kneeling before her was a middle aged man who was tied up with his eyes bandaged, who was about to join his comrades who had been killed in what looked like a ritual.

Her hands were interlocked into an intricate hand seal, and the devil hunters behind her all had blindfolds on.

'I could eliminate you now if I wanted to, but that would create suspicion and might cause a few hindrances here and there. Consider yourself lucky...Gojo Satoru..' She slowly let go of both hands and turned around, leaving the man wondering what was wrong.

"I'm done. You can take off your blindfolds now." She spoke and looked at the devil hunters who took off their blindfolds instantly with their clothes drenched in sweat.

"Get rid of the dead bodies and get everything else ready." She said before walking away calmly.
