"You like to take this outside do you?" said Salazar.
"Just needed some space…" said Yakushi, tilting his neck sideways, and cracking his knuckles.
Salazar summoned a small black ball and shot it up into the air, it exploded and turned the sky dark. Thunder and lightning danced the skies, while Yakushi was trying to focus his devil power onto his weapons. Just when the next lightning struck, Yakushi disappeared from plain sight and appeared behind Salazar. He transformed his right arm again and was about to land a straight punch, but Salazar could manipulate his cloud-formed body and created a hole on himself, letting Yakushi just fly through him.
"What the…" gasped Yakushi.
Salazar then kicked Yakushi on the back, returned to his normal form and summoned a very brutal looking chain sickle. The blade was jagged and looked corrupted, while the hammer part was full of spikes and skull fragments.
"There's something special about you boy! Being able to transform your arm like that….. Not possible for a human being!" said Salazar as he slowly approached Yakushi.
"Shut up…" said Yakushi as he pulled out both his magnums and started blasting Salazar.
Salazar started spinning his blade and deflected all the bullets effortlessly.
"Guess it's like that huh?"
Yakushi then gripped his magnums tighter as black lightning started to spark from the magnums, soon, it started to glow with red aura, and Yakushi's hands were transformed.
"Dodge this…."
Yakushi started blasting both magnums, and with every shot, the blast from the muzzles gave a massive shockwave. He repeatedly blasted multiple shots while screaming his lungs out, Salazar tried to deflect the bullets, but the impact was strong enough to push him back a bit, even some bullets wounded him. But once again, his regeneration ability just activated itself and Salazar was back fresh again.
"I'm tired of playing games…" said Salazar.
Salazar then just disappeared into thin air, Yakushi looked everywhere, but all he heard was the thunder striking, soon, it began to pour heavily.
"Why does it have to rain in every battle I have?" thought Yakushi.
Yakushi holstered his magnums and drew out his Redemption blade, standing by for Salazar to attack. He scanned the area for a while, until he spotted a silhouette, thinking it was Salazar. Yakushi was about to move in for an attack until he spotted another silhouette to his right.
"What the?" thought Yakushi.
As he looked around, more silhouettes started to appear, all bearing the exact same shape and size. As they got closer, Yakushi noticed, they were all Salazar.
"You're using clones to do your dirty work now Salazar?" shouted Yakushi.
Just in a split second, all the clones were right above him, about to slam their hammer end of the chain sickle on him. Yakushi tried to avoid the attack by diving out of the area, he successfully avoided the attack, but the clones just grabbed their bladed end and swung it all around, Yakushi ended up getting cut on his left cheek.
"Ugh… shit…." Growled Yakushi.
Yakushi then threw the Redemption up in the sky, and started performing numerous hand signs. Lightning struck as the Redemption came falling from the sky, but accompanied with cloned versions of it.
"Go to hell…" said Yakushi.
Each of the blades landed on a clone, right on the forehead. The cloned blades broke as if they were glass and the original Redemption returned to Yakushi's hands. The corpses of the clones soon turned to smoke and merged to form a single Salazar, the original one.
"Use clones to kill clones…. Simple as that.." smirked Yakushi. "Can't face me one on one?"
"My my…. A rather feisty one…. You must be set on a leash….." said Salazar. "If it's one on one you want…. So be it!"
Salazar was then lifted into the air, with his arms spread, suddenly he was emerged with fire, and then extinguished, just like that. But Salazar came crashing down in a different image. He had a very similar image to the demon priest the group faced before, only thing, this was bigger. It had gigantic wings too, and a mouth on its stomach.
"Witness the power!" shouted Salazar.
"You're just another demon to be slain….." said Yakushi.
"And yet you are one yourself… are you going to kill your fellow brethren? We are the superior race can't you see? It's time for evolution to take its course! For we are the advanced species! The humans and angels must …"
Yakushi then pulls out the Retribution, and had his arm transformed, amplifying the power.
"You talk too much…" he said as he pulled the trigger.
The large bullet then went straight for one of Salazar's horns, with that shot, Salazar's horn snapped off.
"UGH! YOU FOOL!" shouted Salazar.
"Let's play…"
Yakushi jumped up into the air, spinning like a bullet and directed himself at Salazar, he was like a human drill. Salazar then summoned his deadly chain sickle and tried to deflect Yakushi's attacks. He managed to get Yakushi out of the spinning motion and breathed out black fire from his mouth. In mid-air, Yakushi started spinning his blade like a fan, directing the fire away from him. He immediately pulled out the Vengeance and fired away. Salazar flew around to avoid the bullets and soon got close to Yakushi and grabbed him in one of his arms. Yakushi was immobile as his arms were sealed up too.
"Piece of shit!" said Yakushi.
Salazar was about to breath fire again on Yakushi, until Yakushi managed to throw the Redemption at one of Salazar's wings. Salazar screamed and released Yakushi, but Yakushi was on free fall, he extended his arm and the Redemption blade was flying towards him. Just before he hit the ground, he caught the blade, lunged it on the ground and stood on the handle of it.
"This is going to be fun." He thought. "Guess it's time to go devil…."
