Battle on the Eastern Border

Myoya blocks an attack with his arm. Blood drips on the ground as severe weather pours. Thunder booming all around. Myoya pushes the man away and uses his Maho to send him flying into several others.

"They just keep coming!" He slams his foot into the ground and sends everyone nearby sliding back. He then swinging his hand the opposite direction. In an instant all the men around him get slashed.

"Instead of just knocking them away... Knock em unconscious Myoya!" Myoya turns to Kiyatana.

"I know! Shut up!" Kiyatana glares at a large group of Soldiers instantly stopping them.

"Turn around and go home!" The Soldiers all drop their weapons and start walking away.

"First form! Everlasting Slash!" In an instant they all get slashed. Elijah looking epic as he does so.

"Show off" Myoya doesn't even flinch before slamming his fist into someone behind him. They go flying as Myoya flips around kicking and punching anyone who gets in his way. Kiyatana smiling.

"That's the spirit Myoya!" Emily stomps her foot. The storm blowing her hair. A massive shadow engulfing a large portion of the field. Swallowing up a large chunk of Soldiers. Suddenly an explosion erupts. Several more erupt across the battlefield. A coat of a gold aura completely engulfing Shioka who floats in the air. Shioka lifts his hand. Violently flinging it down. Large pillars of thunder boom down from the sky all around him. Shioka's eyes glowing gold.

Elijah is surrounded by Soldiers as he lifts his blade.

"8th form... Royal damnation!" In an instant Elijah is behind them. They all collapse as blood violently pours from deep wounds.

Myoya grits his teeth. He furrows his brows as his eyes flash red. A red stripe forming in his orange hair. He uses his Maho to grab someone and slam them into the ground. Smoke erupts as Myoya jumps out. He kicks a knight in the chin detaching their head. He spins around and punching another in he chest. Kiyatana swings his sword taking out several more Soldiers.

"The constant influx of Soldiers has slowed down... This may as well be our last break for another while!" Shioka's eyes go blank as he momentarily collapses. He quickly catches himself. The next thing he knows he's puking up blood. A hole is opened in his stomach as his entire right arm has been dismembered completely. Blood drips from his mouth as he falls to the ground. Everyone was speechless as Kiyatana is shocked. Standing behind Shioka's body was a several meter tall creature. His eyes were blood red and his skin near black. Two massive horns on either side of his head. Massive claws on his fingers. Kiyatana was in mortal shock.

"A demon... What is one... Doing here!?" Everyone looks on in fear as the demon stumbles forward. Myoya in disbelief.

"Didn't... Miss Shiyuya say all of the Demons... We're sealed!?... What's one doing here!!?" Kiyatana puts his longsword away and drawing his Katana.

"I'm not sure!... You guys try to get Shioka to the medical booth! I'll deal with this-" the demon lifts a hand up as suddenly there's no gravity. Kiyatana seemingly disappears. Reappearing in front of the demon.

"Die!" Kiyatana swings his Katana. It hits the Demons neck and instantly breaks. The storm seemingly dissipates from the sword attack. Suddenly coming back stronger. Myoya bolts forward and grabbing Shioka. In a split second getting punched in the stomach by the demon. Myoya coughs up blood. Sliding back in a massive explosion. Kiyatana turns to look.

"Myoya!" In an instant Kiyatana gets slammed onto the ground. Elijah grits his teeth and stands in front of Emily.

"You're going to have to go through me first!" The demon takes a step forward. Elijah suddenly feels a heavy weight on his shoulders. Falling to his knees. Memories flash through his mind.

"That brat is weak!... And with that strange birthmark on his neck... We'll become disgraced Nobles!" The man who was Elijah's father kicks him away. His mom trying to stop him but also getting hit away.

"Why... Am I getting flashbacks...!?" Elijah tries to push himself up but struggling.

"He's a demon I tell you!" Elijah grits his teeth as a pitch black aura radiates from his clenched fist. The demon looks down at Elijah and Emily. It lifts it's hands sending several black blades at them. Smoke explodes. Emily goes flying back into a cliff.

"Elijah!" The smoke rises as he's no where to be seen. Emily's eyes widen.

"They really went on and compared me to this... Thing...!?" The demon turns around. The left half of Elijah's face Is black. His eyes are red. His left arm completely black with white accents. A black wing stretches out of his back. His sword radiating a black aura. Emily in disbelief. Smoke escapes his mouth. The scar on his neck now stretches across his entire muscular upper body. The demon sends a few more attacks at Elijah.

"Too easy..." Elijah easily blocks all the attacks and jumps up.

"First form... Everlasting Slash..." Elijah swings his sword but only a small scratch forms. Shocking Elijah.

"You're just like Diafthora ya know..." Elijah looks down as Kiyatana dusts himself off.

"Being born part demon and all" The demon screams as blades erupt from every part of the demon. Elijah smirks as he parry's the attack. Kiyatana easily slashing those near. Blades shoot for Emily as her eyes widen. Kiyatana turns but isn't fast enough. Elijah's mouth open as smoke erupts.

"EMILY!" Elijah screams in Bloody rage. The smoke rises as Myoya stands in front of Emily.

"Are you okay... Emily...?" Emily looks on in shock as Myoya uses his body as a shield. But none of the blades are even touching him. Kiyatana smiles. Myoya's hair slowly turning red.

"He used his force Maho to create an impenetrable shield around his body!... Class 1 is on another level from when I was there!" Myoya blasts the blades and jumps forward. Myoya blasting and blocking blades as he gets closer to the Demon. Kiyatana lifts his Katana. Elijah swings his back.

"Elemental dive;... Full Force!" Myoya puts all his strength into one punch to the face. Kiyatana smiling.

"World slash... Equinox!" Kiyatana swings his blade down. Elijah swings his blade.

"Ninth form: rampage!" The Demons head flies off from the neck. It's body getting sliced into 4. The pieces falling to ground as the air cools down. The rain slowly coming to a stop.

Kiyatana slowly wipes the sweat from his forehead as he puts his Katana back in its scabbard.

Elijah's demon form slowly evaporates as he falls unconscious.

Myoya's hair returns to normal.

"Shioka... Is being treated right now... I'm glad I... Made it in time..." Myoya steps forward to catch himself. Kiyatana takes a few deep breaths.

"Well... The war isn't over yet..." Kiyatana looks over at Myoya then looks as the next wave arrives.
