Extra: Mugetsu: Sword Demon Village

This takes place in the two-year gap between when Rize went to the demon world for the first time and when he returns when he was traveling with Mugetsu in the demon realm.

Rize and Mugetsu were walking through the forest.

"We need to talk about something," said Mugetsu.

"What is that?" asked Rize. Rize was sixteen at the time. Wearing rags made of demon pelts they killed.

"Well you seemed to rush into things before thinking it seems and it could get you killed," said Mugetsu.

"Sorry, but usually when it comes to fighting I don't think," said Rize.

"I have noticed but I feel this could get corrected somehow," said Mugetsu.

"Yes, Sir Mugetsu," said Rize.

"You don't have to call me Sir either, Brother. Mugetsu is not knighted," said Mugetsu.

"Alright, Mugetsu," said Rize who starts to feel lectured by Mugetsu.

"Man, this kid is thick-headed," thinks Mugetsu.

"This Demon is a strange one." thinks Rize. They both see it was starting to become evening.

"We better get camp ready," said Mugetsu.

"Yeah," said Rize. They then start to build a camp for the night.

Later that night Mugetsu was at the campfire reading a map while Rize was practicing his sword swings with the Demon Sword before it became Asmodeus.

"I see your form has improved a bit," said Mugetsu.

"Thanks," said Rize.

"It has been two months since we implanted my old left arm on you," said Mugetsu.

"How is your left arm recovering since you cut it off?" asked Rize.

"Fine. It regrew back already and works okay," said Mugetsu.

"That's good mine healed up fine and I don't have problems with it," said Rize.

"I see we are near Mugetsu's place of origin," said Mugetsu.

"oh so, we are near your hometown aye," said Rize.

"I haven't been there in many years," said Mugetsu.

"so let's go. I would like to see where you came from," said Rize.

"Alright, it seems like it would be a good idea to go, " said Mugetsu. They then rest up at camp till morning and they head to Mugetsu's old home.

They arrive at a village full of Sword Demons they walk around. They live in what looks like stone igloos houses.

"so this where you are from so small then where I'm from," said Rize.

"Really?" asked Mugetsu.

"We have built as tall as the sky," said Rize.

"interesting," said Mugetsu. They then see an elder-looking sword demon but his armor was gray and cracked.

"Ah Elder it been many moons since I've seen you, " said Mugetsu.

"Indeed, it has since I saw the Son of Zangetsu come home," said Elder Demon.

"So, This Zangetsu demon he is your father?" asked Rize.

"Correct, Rize. He is Mugetsu's creator," said Mugetsu.

"Speaking of which we feel Zangetsu has gone mad he has left to live in the woods to perish," said The Elder Demon. Mugetsu looked upset because of this.

"Mugetsu, let's go find your father in the woods," said Rize.

What? But Rize it would be dangerous to the sacred place for the honored Sword Demon to go when they get crazy," said Mugetsu.

"Mugetsu would like to say your final peace with your dad. Especially when you have not seen him in years," said Rize.

"I don't know," said Mugetsu wondering what to do.

"Zangetsu was an honored Sword Demon among his people probably the best sword demon to serve the lord Azazel. He left recently so there could be a chance he is not feral yet," said The Elder Demon.

"You see a chance, Mugetsu," said Rize.

"Alright, we can go but we need to be careful, Rize," said Mugetsu.
