The Five Great Demons

Gen then looked at Alex briefly, looked again at Fir, and said, "Why are you fighting?"

And Fir said, "They came at us out of nowhere saying they wanted a strong opponent to play with for a while, and they provoked us to the point where Nass agreed to fight one of them. They then began to fight, but you could quickly see that Nass couldn't win. He then tried to surrender, but they wouldn't let him and made him fight until he was unconscious, and then they picked him up and started using him as a seat!"

Gen then looked at the group behind the man who was fighting Fir and saw that they were indeed sitting on Nass.

Gen then said to the man who was fighting Fir, "Why are you doing this? Do you think it's right to harass someone just because he's weaker than you?"

And the man then said, "Of course. After all, the stronger one is always right, hahaha."

Gen then frowned and said, "Oh yeah? Why don't we fight then? If I win, you release him. What do you think?"

And the man said, "Hahaha, sure. If you think you have what it takes."

And Gen said, "Great."

He then went towards Fir with his group, and when he arrived, Fir said, "Be careful, Gen."

And Gen said, "What level is he on? What's his essence?"

"You don't know him, Gen?"

"No."

"Well, I'll explain it to you later, but he's at the natural level, and his essence is that of the fist."

Gen then said, half surprised, "Natural level? I wasn't expecting that, but at least it's a close combat essence, so I shouldn't have any problems. I'll be right back."

Gen then started walking towards the man. On the way, he reached out his hand, and light appeared in it.

When the man saw this, he said, "Do you have the spear essence?"

And Gen said, "Yes, any problems?"

"No. Let's get started."

"Okay."

The two of them then got into combat position and went at each other. They then quickly approached each other, and Gen struck out with Light towards the man's chest.

Seeing this, he thought, 'Using the distance advantage that the spear gives you. Well played, but that's not enough to deal with me.'

The man then threw a punch in Light's direction, and before he could touch her, he said, "Air punch.", and then Light started to go sideways quickly.

The man then took advantage of this situation and threw a punch in Gen's direction. His hand was coming closer, it then started to glow, and the man said, "Hahaha, your mistake was thinking that I needed to touch your spear."

And then, Gen said, "And your mistake was counting victory too soon.", and then Light appeared from behind Gen's back and started to move quickly toward the man's neck.

The man was about to hit Gen, but he knew that Light would get to him first, and so he thought, 'Damn! What has he done? There's no way I can get away with this without getting hurt.'

Light then moved closer and closer to the man's neck, and just as she was about to hit him, the man went backward in a bizarre way, as if he had been pulled.

Gen then looked at the men sitting on top of Nass and saw that one of them had his hand outstretched.

He then thought, 'He must be the one who did it.', and then looked at the man he was fighting and said, "Looks like you lost. How about Releasing my friend now?"

The man then got up from the ground and looked back. The man who had his hand outstretched got up, and the others did the same. He then stretched out his hand toward Nass and then made it as if he were throwing him toward Gen, which actually happened.

Nass was thrown toward Gen, who held him easily as he came close.

He then tossed Nass towards Fir and said, "There. Everything is settled."

And Fir said, "Thanks, Gen.", and then they went toward Alex and Kimi.

They then put Nass down, and Alex came toward Gen and said, "Thanks for the help, Gen."

And Gen said, "You're welcome, but taking this opportunity to ask, who are these guys?"

Fir then said, "You really don't know them?"

And Briny said, "You don't know who they are, Gen?"

Gen then said, "No."

And Lina said, "I don't know either."

And Raja said, "Me neither."

Briny then said, "That's funny. They are well known. They are the five great demons."

And Gen said, "What? Great demons?"

Briny then said, "Yes. They are the five strongest people after the King of the Blood Realm."

Raja then said, "Blood Realm? What is that place?"

And Briny said, "It seems that you don't know much about the world, but let me explain. The Blood Realm is a long way north of here. The Realm is basically a big martial arts school."

Raja then said, "What? A martial arts school?"

And Briny said, "Yes, and there are actually five schools. The fist school, the leg school, the mind school, the body school, and the blood school. Each of these schools has its martial art, and from time to time, they hold a tournament to decide who will be the leader of the blood kingdom."

Briny then continued, "The current leader is the Blood King, and these five who are here are the five strongest from each school. The Five Great Demons. The one you just defeated, Gen, is the fist demon."

Everyone then looked at him and observed. He had short black hair, was a little taller than Gen, had black eyes, and seemed to be a little older than them. He had black bandages tied around parts of his arm, wrist, and hand.

Briny then said, "They say he can destroy everything in his path with his fists."

And Raja said, "It seems those rumors are wrong. After all, Gen beat him so easily."

Gen then said, "No. He's quite strong. He only lost so fast like that because he was careless."

Briny then said, "Yes. There is no one weak in this group. They all have essences at the Natural level."

And Raja said, "Natural level? Are you serious?"

"Yes."

Raja then looked at the group and said, "Wow, I take that back then."

And Briny said, "Well, moving on. The one further to the right is the leg demon."

They then looked and saw that it was a young man a little older than them, with black hair tied in a ponytail, who was the same height as the other and also had black eyes. He also had some black bandages on his body, but they were on his feet and legs.

Briny then said, "They say he's extremely fast and that it's hard to keep up with his movements."

And Fir said, "It's true. He fought Nass, and he really is very fast. Nass didn't even stand a chance in the fight."

Briny then said, "The next one is the one to the left of the leg demon, the mind demon."

He had long black hair that fell to the sides and went all the way to his shoulders. He also had black eyes, must have been the same height as Gen, and seemed to be a little older. He had black bandages tied around his head, on his forehead, and was wearing glasses.

Briny then said, "They say he is the smartest person in the group and that he can often win battles without even lifting a finger."

Raja then said, "Wow. His essence must be quite different from the norm if that's true."

And Briny said, "All indications are that it is, but let's move on. The next one is the one who is sleeping sitting up."

Everyone then looked in the direction Briny was looking and saw a person sleeping, sitting up.

She then said, "That's the body demon."

He had rather large black hair, which covered his neck and fell over his face, covering his eyes. You couldn't get a sense of his height. After all, he was sitting down. You couldn't see his eyes because his hair was covering them. 

Like the rest of the group, he looked a little older than Gen and also had black bandages on his body. They were on his wrists, elbows, knees, and ankles.

Briny then said, "They say that he knows the human body like no one else, that all his attacks are extremely accurate, and that after a few blows, most of his opponents go down."

Briny then continued, "And to finish off, we have the last one missing, the blood demon."

Everyone then looked at him and saw that he had long black hair that fell over his shoulders, black eyes, was a little shorter than Gen and seemed to be the same age as him. He also had black bandages that were wrapped around the fingertips of his hands.

Briny then said, "They say that he is the most difficult to deal with of all the demons and that when you encounter him, you must flee immediately, or the only thing that will await you is a sea of blood, which in this case is obviously yours."
