He watches me get into a fighting stance and laughs.
"you really think that you've got any power here."
while he points and open palm at me, I ask myself.
"he can use magic here?"
he shouts in the same language that Damien speaks, but nothing happens, he stares at his hand obviously confused on why a spell wasn't fired off like he expected, I then chuckle.
"looks like you are the same boat as me."
he barks at me.
"shut your mouth!"
he shouts once more and again the result was the same, there was no spell in sight, I then laugh.
"I guess the no magic rules applies to everyone here."
he growls.
"whatever, I don't need magic to kill you."
filled with confidence since I already have experience fighting without magic I taunt him by wagging one of my hands towards myself.
"Come get me"
he shouts with anger and hatred.
"you have some nerve to taunt someone like me!"
I smile and think to myself.
"good if I can keep goading him, then I can make him lose concentrate during our fight."
he yells.
"your presence annoys me!"
he charges head on towards me and takes a swing at my face, I tilt my head to the side to avoid his fist, while I land a swift knee to his gut, he slouches forward grabbing his stomach in pain.
"you bastard."
I don't give him time to recover and smash him in the face using my knee, he then falls flat on his back, with blood gushing from his nose, I take moment to calm my mind and say to him.
"you don't have magic here, if you give up and let me step in that doorway, I'll let you live."
he stands up with blood still running down from his nostrils.
"foolish human, do you really think I'll let you leave
without a fight?"
I sigh.
"that's too bad, you could have started a new life here."
he scoffs with a disgusted expression.
"I swore an oath to follow Damien until the end, I'm not breaking it, just to love amongst human trash."
after that I had heard enough and was already annoyed with every word he spoke, and I went in with my fists raised and start throwing quick jabs, and even though he was startled at first he surprised me when he blocks them successfully.
"I guess Damien has trained you in hand to hand combat?"
he answers.
"unfortunately, he did mention a human that packs a strong punch."
he spits on the ground and continues.
"and it seems he wasn't exaggerating your monstrous strength."
I grin.
"your lucky that I only get to use the strength I built up on my previous life and not the body you want to control."
he charges at me, and does the same thing I just did to him, and as I block each punch, I quickly notice that he slightly quicker than me, I retreat and think to myself.
"since I rigorously trained that body when comparing it to my current one, he has a slight advantage when it comes to strength and speed."
I chuckle.
"this will be troublesome if I let this fight drag on for too long."
he grins.
"what's wrong Collin? are you finally realizing that you can't beat me in your current state?"
I charge towards him at full speed and shout.
"as if!"
he just smirks as I quickly find myself getting slammed down onto the pavement, he tries to punch me in the face but I move my head to side and whike his fist makes contact on the concrete, he screams in pain.
"fuck!"
I then use the opportunity to knee him in the stomach, and as he coughs in pain, I stand straight up like it was nothing due to all the adrenaline that is running through my body even though I was slammed down hard, and then I think to myself.
"he managed to judo throw me into the ground."
I quickly rub my back with the back of my hand and ask myself.
"was he able to do that because he is currently using my body?"
I sigh.
"if that's the case then I need to be cautious on how I approach this fight, since I don't know if he'll pull out another move under my arsenal."
He picks himself up from the ground and says.
"your soft, if your enemy is hurt you need to take advantage and finish them off."
I respond.
"you are correct about that, but I have a feeling that if I kill you, I'd be killing myself in the other world."
he grins.
"you catch on pretty quick there."
he laughs maniacally.
"even if you beat me, you'll never return back."
I then hear a bunch of people whispering and mumbling to themselves, I take a proper look around and notice that we spectators, and a few of them have their cell phones out recording us, even though I want to hide my embarrassment I think to myself.
"why does he have to shout and attract so much attention to us."
he then grabs a garbage bin nearby a throws it at me to distract me and he manages to tackle me down to the ground and as he mounts me to throw multiple punches to my face, I yell at one of the spectators while blocking.
"call the police!"
I think to myself.
"if I can somehow stop him without seriously injuring him then maybe I can return back."
he gets distracted and hisses at the the guy calling the police.
"your going to get it next!"
I quickly grab his head and land a powerful headbutt that causes him to stagger away, and then another guy who is spectating asks me.
"need help?"
I shake my head.
"no he is insane and I don't want any of you getting hurt!"
the demon laughs again while holding his forehead.
"none of you have any idea on who you are dealing with."
he then shouts like a madman.
"you will all die by my hands!"
then suddenly someone comes up to him and smacks him in the back of the head with a garbage lid, essentially knocking him out, I say to the guy.
"thanks."
he replies still holding the lid.
"don't worry I couldn't just stand by and watch this crazy guy threatening to kill everyone."
I sigh.
"well at least the cops will arrive soon."
the guy who called the police says.
"yeah they are on the way."
I think to myself.
"I want to say goodbye to Shiho, but unfortunately I don't know how long the door to the other world will remain open."
I approach the area where the door was at and say to everyone.
"what I'm about to do will freak everyone out."
and as I walk straight through I hear a distant voice say.
"you can't leave the police are going to want to know what happened."
I get surrounded by the blinding white light and think to myself.
"I hope I can safely return back to my body."
