Alex no demon episode 7( Face of darkness)

Kazuki took his stance and locked eyes with Kirihai.

"You're facing me now," he said firmly.

Alex, struggling to get up, groaned and spat out blood.

"I'm not done yet..."

Kazuki glanced at him with a slight frown.

Kirihai smirked and said, "The rest of your friends couldn't even come close to me." Her eyes narrowed as she looked at Kazuki. "But you... you look interesting."

Suddenly, sharp needles began floating around her in a defensive formation.

Kazuki's spiritual mark activated, glowing brightly on his palm. In response, the floating needles around Kirihai launched at him with frightening speed. With expert precision and agility, Kazuki countered each one using his dagger, deflecting them in a rapid and skilled manner.

Without hesitation, he charged toward her, firing spiritual explosions one after another. Kirihai sharpened her hand into deadly blades and began slicing through the blasts with surgical precision.

Kazuki leaped into the air, hurling a barrage of shuriken. Kirihai dodged them swiftly, only for Kazuki to close the distance and engage her in fierce hand-to-hand combat.

Meanwhile...

Hugo and Levi were locked in a brutal battle of their own. Hugo slashed his sword with blinding speed, the strikes traveling at the speed of light. Levi, equally fast, danced between them with nimble agility. As he dodged, Levi jumped into the air.

Hugo unleashed more slashes, but Levi activated a technique called Red Riot. Red beams materialized from thin air, clashing with Hugo's slashes and causing a massive explosion.

Smoke clouded the battlefield.

As it cleared, Hugo charged forward, trying to strike Levi with his sword. Levi grabbed a dagger from the ground and parried. They clashed repeatedly—each impact triggering shockwaves and explosions across the area.

Moving at light speed, their battle grew more intense.

"You're not as bad as I thought," Hugo admitted mid-fight, clashing blades once again.

Elsewhere in the mist-covered field...

Serena and Sukuna were surrounded by an army of shadow dolls. The two women defended themselves with powerful punches. Serena charged her fist with massive electricity and struck the shadows, causing several of them to explode violently.

"I'll handle the rest," Sukuna said. "You need to rest."

Serena nodded, stepping back as more shadow dolls approached. Sukuna's hands began glowing, enveloped in a fierce green energy. With a single blow, she obliterated the remaining dolls—many were blasted apart, others burnt to ash.

Sukuna collapsed.

Serena rushed to her side. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Sukuna answered, breathing heavily. "The rest of them are fighting with their lives. We have to help them..."

Back in the main battle...

Kazuki launched into the air. From a distance, Kinto threw shuriken at Kirihai. She dodged them—but Alex suddenly flash-stepped behind her, catching the ones she evaded and attempting to stab her.

Barks then leapt from above, swinging his rock hammer down. At the same moment, Kazuki rushed from the front with his dagger aimed at her neck.

Surrounded, Kirihai smiled wickedly.

"None of you can beat me."

A burst of dark energy erupted from the ground, blasting them all away.

Kazuki tried to rise but was too slow. Kirihai cast a technique—Dark Cube—and he was sealed inside a cube of dense dark energy.

Kinto gasped. "How can someone be this strong...?"

Suddenly, a barrage of daggers shot toward him, piercing his body in rapid succession. He screamed in pain.

Baraka tried to help, but a slash out of nowhere struck his back. He cried out and collapsed. Alex, overwhelmed, screamed their names and rushed to help—only to be pinned to the ground by an unseen pressure.

Struggling, he tried to rise. Kirihai appeared behind him.

"I just used my Spirit Binding technique."

Alex growled in anger. "Let me go!"

Grinning, she stabbed his hand with her blade, pinning him to the ground.

He screamed in pain.

She stabbed his other hand. Alex's breathing grew heavier, fury rising in his eyes.

"This fight is over," she taunted.

"Shut the hell up!" he roared.

She trapped him inside Dark Cube and declared her intention to kill him and his friends.

Inside the cube, Kazuki's screams echoed as energy ripped through him.

Alex, still trapped, saw Kinto and Baraka unconscious and bleeding. Kirihai's voice rang out.

"You're all just a pile of brats I'm about to kill."

She triggered a massive explosion within Alex's cube. Inside, Alex whispered:

"I can't die here... I can't die in a place like this..."

He repeated it again and again, his anger building. His hair turned red. His nails and teeth sharpened. The cube exploded in a blast of purple fire and energy.

Kirihai laughed. "There's no way that kid survived that."

Kinto, barely conscious, cried out, "Alex!"

But then, the purple flames twisted into a wild black energy, swirling violently. Kirihai narrowed her eyes. "What... is going on?"

She saw Alex, standing, surrounded by black energy.

He screamed in rage, sending out a shockwave. The energy dissipated. His eyes glowed.

In a flash, he charged at Kirihai. She braced herself, but Alex, faster than the wind, launched a rapid barrage of punches.

She thought to herself, I can't keep up with his speed...

Alex scratched her chest with his sharp nails, darting around her at blinding speed. Kirihai, trying to remain calm, began throwing shuriken rapidly, but Alex dodged with ease and continued to slash at her.

Panicking, she formed a hand sign and chanted an incantation. A magic circle appeared. She was about to fire a red beam—

—but Alex caught it with one hand.

She gasped. How can anyone hold this much power...?!

With overwhelming strength, he slapped her with his energy-imbued hand. The entire field exploded.

As the smoke cleared, Kirihai struggled to rise but collapsed again. Alex emerged from the smoke, eyes glowing red, hand smoking with energy. He raised it and slammed her into the ground with a final, devastating blow.

Smoke billowed across the battlefield.

Alex collapsed, his body steaming.

Kirihai managed to stand. "Even with all that power... you still lost."

She pulled a dagger from her cloak and approached Alex, ready to stab.

"At the end, it was all a waste of time."

Just as she swung her blade, her hand was sliced clean off.

Kazuki stabbed her from behind.

"Stupid bitch," he muttered.

Kirihai smirked, even in defeat. "I'm surprised..."

Her body began to melt.

"I'll be back for you all... eventually..." she said before vanishing completely.

Kazuki exhaled sharply. "That was a clone... If we fought the real one... we'd all be dead."

Meanwhile...

Hugo lay injured on the ground. Levi approached slowly.

"Remember when you said you were going to kill me?" Levi asked.

Hugo laughed, his form beginning to fade. "In my life... I've never met an opponent as powerful as you. I won't forget you."

Kazuki helped Alex to his feet.

"He's stronger than I thought..." he murmured.

The mist began to lift. The sun broke through.

Levi lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.

"That was a hellish mission."

Kinto helped Baraka up.

"Is Alex okay?" Baraka asked.

"He'll be fine," Kinto replied.

Everyone regrouped—battered, bruised, but alive. Serena and Sukuna approached slowly.

Levi looked at them all. "Mission complete. Let's go home."

Far away, in a dark hideout...

Kirihai removed her black cloak and smirked.

"It was a good thing I sent a clone... otherwise, those kids would've died."

Ukina, unnoticed until now, stepped beside her.

"You did a great job. I'm glad the mission went well."
