Chapter-68: A Point-of-View for a Certain Someone and Another Attack from a Demon Duo..

Fear..
The one engraved in your bones, your very being itself..
Consumed a being such as myself in this very moment...
It made me shiver when I had unwillingly remembered the day I had encountered HIM...the one blessed by the gods..
A sentence crept up on my mind without me knowing as I heard that cold, menacing voice that shook me to the core once again..
'What exactly do you take life for?..'
—BADUMP!
All seven of my hearts beat in unison, my crimson pupils seething with fear..I trembled in fear..
—Baaam! Thud!
I slammed the wooden walls around me, my arm morphing to a weapon made out of flesh. I removed my arm from the broken wall which repaired quickly, and tried to calm myself..
'No! He must not be allowed to live! Danger! Danger! Danger!'
I made a decision with cold sweat dripping down in all parts of my body, my mind clouding with dread and fear as my memories about that moment flashed through my mind countless times..
'How can you forget?'
Another phrase from the voice that I'd resented so much ringed in my minds..
I don't know how that crazy wench did it, but she felt no fear even though it was engraved in my blood to despair when seeing THAT Breathing style, as those pesky Demon slayers called it..
'He must die!'
I reached a consensus among my fear-clouded mind, I had decided, that individual, must be killed, he was too much danger! As long as that breathing style exists, I can never reach the pinnacle and become a true Perfect Being!!
"Hear me, hunt and kill this man! He absolutely cannot live!"
I used the telepathic link that connected every demon that has my blood, and announced this individual must be killed at all costs! I sent everything from my own mind that showed what he looked like..
For as long as that man is alive...I will never take a step outside of my castle!

"Thank you, Shinobu"
Ren walked through the portal with his newly crafted Nichirin sword that he had Shinobu request for..
The sword had the color of deep amethyst, similar to his eyes, with wavy patterns and fancy engravings of gold. It had a sheath in theme of the color of his sword, with violet as the main color and engravings of gold dragons encircling the sheath.
"Hey, Lucien, I'm done, Shinobu also said that the assault on Mount Natagumo will be a few days from now while they call over their troops"
"Did you also get the sulphur I asked you for?"
Ren and Lucien started talking in their room as Ren showed off his new sword that he had made the blacksmiths make a few weeks earlier..
"Yep, here ya go"
Ren tossed the bag of sulphur to Lucien who hastily caught it in a panic because he knew how easily flammable Sulphuric powder is..
"Hey! Don't do that! If a fire was caused because of the friction, it could burn this house down!"
Lucien complained angrily to the Ren who just scratched his neck..
"Sorry, sorry, I got a bit complacent.."
"Haaahh...I forgive you, and what were we going to do today?"
Lucien sighed at his group leader and then moved on to asking him what their plan for the day was, since they were still waiting for the Demon Slayer Corps to gather their forces.
"Just walk around the town and scope out if there's demons lurking around again"
"..."
"Let's go! Patrolling.."
Ren dragged the blank-faced Lucien who just accepted since nothing was in their plate for the day..
******
Night overtook the skies as Ren and Lucien just walked around, never actually finding any demons hiding in the dark corners of the village..
"Nothing to do today again.."
"Let' just wait it out til' the Demon Slayer Corps expedition starts I guess.."
Ren took a bite out of his kaarage roll that he made himself based on Soma's recipe from Food Wars. Suddenly, Ren's eyes widened as he sensed something..
"Jump"
Was the only thing that Ren said as an explosion rocked the place where they stood..
—Swooosh! Baaaamm!!
A huge cloud of dust was kicked up as a loud female voice resounded over to the pothole that she made.
"Hahaha! Is this the man that Master told us to kill? This was way too easy!" An arrogant female voice sneered as we finally see who it was..
It was Sasumaru, a delusional demon girl who thought she was in the Twelve Kizuki and that being her sole reason to fight for Muzan. That's it...a misled girl who just loved playing with temari balls..
"Have you really though?" A voice sounded in the dust cloud.
"I told you, don't be too brash.." Another voice chimed in, this was Sasumaru's duo, Yahaba..
Both of them was called the Temari demon and the Arrow demon respectively and they work best as a duo. While Sasumaru is a clueless girl, acting on blind loyalty, Yahaba is a cunning, sadistic, and narcissistic demon who knew the truth that they were not one of the Twelve Kizuki yet.
"You survived that?! Awesome!" Sasumaru replied back as she summoned another Temari ball in her hand.
The dust cloud dissipated as it revealed Ren standing over Lucien with his hands held out and a Light magic barrier opened in front of them.
—Baaam! Booom!
Ren lowered his hand and then the Light magic barrier disappeared as he stepped on the ground heavily and then launched himself towards the two demons.
—Claaang! Chii!
Ren reappeared in front of Yahaba and then cut his left arm. Yahaba's eyes dilated as he didn't anticipate Ren's speed and realized the danger that Ren truly posessed..
—Booom!
Sasumaru swiftly threw her temari ball with a large force towards where Ren was, but he had disappeared again in an afterimage..
"That was rude.."
