To Yamibari's disbelief, Akihiro's body swayed and stood up.
At the same time, behind Akihiro's headless body, a pair of blazing white giant wings stretched and expanded outwards.
Each of these blazing white wings had a single wingspan of over three meters.
The wings trembled gently, as if celebrating their rebirth. Yamibari looked at Akihiro's head in his hand, realizing that Akihiro was also looking at him.
"Impossible, how can a newborn demon use a Blood Demon Art?"
"My talent, even that person praised it and promised me the title of Lower Rank Six if I mastered a Blood Demon Art, allowing me to pursue him."
"You, a newborn demon who doesn't even dare to eat humans, how dare you, how dare you use a Blood Demon Art so quickly!"
"You, how dare you!"
Yamibari, consumed by jealousy, erupted.
"Blood Demon Art: Blade Prison!"
The oddly shaped broadsword reappeared in Yamibari's hand. His eyes were blood red, and even the six claw marks on the sides of his face turned blood red.
The enraged Yamibari tossed Akihiro's head forward, raised his broadsword high, and with a sharp whooshing sound, swiftly brought it down.
He wanted Akihiro to taste what it was like to have his head split down the middle.
However, a lethal sense of danger came from beside him, heading straight for the back of his head and his heart.
This feeling was like the terrifying sensation of death he experienced when facing sunlight after becoming a demon.
Every cell in his body screamed for Yamibari to dodge.
In a critical situation, Yamibari had no choice but to abandon his plan to cleave Akihiro. He rolled awkwardly, dodging the unknown attack from behind.
After Yamibari moved out of the danger zone and readjusted his body, he looked back.
He saw Akihiro's body, holding his own head and pressing it onto the neck where it had fallen from his body. Then, flesh and blood instantly stitched together, and Akihiro was whole again.
"The feeling of having my head connected to my body again, it's truly good."
Yamibari turned his head again and saw two blazing white feathers, steaming hot, stuck in the wall, gradually dissipating.
The fatal sensation from earlier had come from these two feathers.
At this moment, Yamibari became bewildered and uncertain. He suppressed the raging desire for battle in his heart and asked Akihiro:
"What's wrong with your Blood Demon Art?"
"Why does it feel like I'm facing the sun?"
Akihiro calmly replied: "What does that have to do with you? Weren't you very proud just now? But now, do you still want me to feel despair?"
On the surface, Akihiro was incredibly calm.
But in reality, he himself had no idea what was happening!
When using the Hinokami Kagura breathing technique, Akihiro's original idea was to greatly enhance his physical functions through the breathing technique and then suddenly burst out to escape Yamibari's restraint.
However, a strange change occurred in his body while performing the Hinokami Kagura breathing.
Perhaps it was because a demon's body was performing a human breathing technique, leading to some deviation.
Two mysterious, homologous energies connected to his bloodline rapidly grew and expanded along with his breath.
The locations of these energies were just above his shoulder blades, on both sides near his spine.
Next, that pair of enormous, magnificent, blazing white wings, like a phoenix, emerged from Akihiro's back skin with a triumphant posture.
In that instant, Akihiro knew this was his Blood Demon Art, Blazing Feathers.
At this point, a strange silence fell between Yamibari and Akihiro.
On one side, Yamibari was uncertain and bewildered by Akihiro's Blood Demon Art, looking at it more and more and feeling as if the wings were made of sunlight.
Feeling the continuous fatal threat emanating from the blazing white wings, Yamibari dared not make a move.
Meanwhile, Akihiro was curiously familiarizing himself with his wings.
He reached out and touched a blazing white wing but found it extremely hot, and his fingers showed charred black burns.
"Is my Blood Demon Art indiscriminate, harming both friend and foe?"
"What's going on? Why am I getting hurt too?"
As it seemed, Akihiro couldn't casually touch these wings. Although they were his own Blood Demon Art, they would also burn him.
Despite being newly appeared on his body, the blazing white wings were as easily controllable as Akihiro's own hands and feet, full of energy, without any stiffness.
He tried flapping his wings, but unfortunately, after flying up awkwardly for about ten centimeters, he almost fell headfirst to the ground.
Without any flight experience, even with wings, he simply couldn't fly.
"I never thought that what people in my previous life always pursued and longed for — to grow huge wings and fly without tools — I would have the chance to achieve it after becoming a demon."
However, Akihiro believed that one day he would successfully fly into the sky.
Yamibari watched Akihiro flapping his wings haphazardly from the side, and a flash of inspiration suddenly struck him.
"His wings, absolutely, definitely have something to do with sunlight. If I tell that person about this..."
"Haha, that person will be overjoyed. Maybe they'll even reward me with a large amount of blood, making me even stronger."
"Perhaps, they might even make me an Upper Rank One, second only to one demon and above all others."
He didn't dare to think of many things, but Yamibari was getting more and more excited as he thought.
"Brat, wait for me, to return. I'll let you off this time."
Akihiro: "Huh?"
He never would have imagined that Yamibari would want to run away.
After saying this, Yamibari turned and ran without hesitation. He didn't want to tangle with Akihiro.
The most urgent matter now was to tell that person about this newborn demon having sunlight-attributed wings.
Akihiro didn't know what happened. He only saw Yamibari's face turn alternately green and white, and finally reveal a disgusting, deadly, hysterical smile.
"Why are you running?"
Seeing Yamibari flee, Akihiro instinctively chased after him.
Although he didn't know what was happening, no matter what, as long as the enemy didn't achieve their goal, it would be beneficial to him.
But Akihiro had only run a few steps when Yamibari, who had just fled, ran back again, his face twisted with anger.
"Hey, you run away then come back. So, are you fighting or running? What do you want to do?"
This demon had given Akihiro immense pressure just moments ago.
But now, he looked increasingly idiotic.
Yamibari gritted his fangs, saying unwillingly, "If it weren't for the sunrise, if the sun hadn't already come up outside, why would I be running back and forth..."
Akihiro realized suddenly, so that's how it was.
While he was entangled with Yamibari in the bear cave, the sun, hidden under the night, had quietly poked its head out, emitting light and heat.
"So, you can't escape now, and you have no retreat."
In an instant, the atmosphere between Yamibari and Akihiro became chilling.
When two contend, one must be harmed. Tonight, only one demon could walk out of this cave.
"Running away? Are you underestimating me?"
Yamibari was panting heavily, his eyes bloodshot with rage.
Just now, his head was easily cut off and his limbs torn off by me. Do you think you can suppress me after awakening a Blood Demon Art?
I, Yamibari, have fought demons and Demon Slayers for decades. Countless ignorant humans and demons have died by my hand.
Brat, even if your Blood Demon Art is incredibly special, I won't be afraid of you.
Since that's the case, let me trouble myself a little more, tear off your limbs again, and personally take you to that person.
