The Devil Struggle

Dimae stopped and lowered his blades, damn that old geezer wants to keep her alive!?

Zero glared at both of them except Sage. He had the right mind. "What's the point of fighting like this?! I DEMAND TO KNOW!" she shouted.

Matsudaira simply glares at her and says very slowly "Stop yelling at me before I cut out your tongue"

Zero didn't even flinch.

As far as Matsudaira is concerned, that worked, as she stopped yelling "Now, to answer your rather loud question, I simply wish to test my skill"

Zero chuckled. "Then I won't stop you." she said, leaping into the apple tree.

Dimae spoke as well. "You been living in a cave your entire life!? That is what demons do, we fight, we kill, we eat. That is the law that works here, if you did not know that then you are a fool..." Dimae said, these demons seemed to be not aware how things work in here.

"Anyway , where were we?" The blade wielding demon asks as he points a blade to the armored demon's face.

Dimae growled at Matsudaira, he takes a good stance and yet again charges at him to deliver a flurry of strikes.

Zero rolled her eyes and glanced towards Sage.

Matsudaira dodges the blow and slashes at Dimae's back , pressing his advantage with a flurry of powerful cuts fro all of his six swords.

Dimae stumbles as the swords hit his back but leave only deep scratches, no blood so Dimae was not really injured. Dimae turned around and jumped at him to pin him down with his blades.

As Dimae leaps on him , Matsudaira falls on his back and kicks Dimae over him.

Dimae quickly re balances himself after Matsudaira had kicked him off, he charges swinging his blades rapidly at him.

Matsu grins and with burning fervor matches each strike with one of his own.

Dimae continues and mixes it up with a few jabs at him, trying to pierce through Matsudaira's defense.

Zero rolls her eyes again and leans against the tree casually.

Sage eats a cookie

Matsudaira catches one of the punches on his blade and uses it to throw Dimae off balance , then drawing his other sword he spins creating a small flaming twister that should sweep Dimae off his feet.

Dimae was caught off guard by Matsudaira's counter attack, but as Dimae noticed the flames he did his Magma Defense spell creating a reddish shield around him to protect from fire.

Zero rolled her eyes and stole Sage's cookie using her tail.

Matsu continues pressing his advantage, raining down slash after slash down on the armored demon.

Dimae had taken a defensive stance and blocked most of the attacks with his arms, but the multiple blows were leaving quite the deep scratches on his steel armor so how long can it last?

sage produces another cookie

Zero became a bit confused but ate the cookie she stole.
