Chapter 13
Allen tentatively took a step backwards as Tyki approached him.
"Are you by any chance the new exorcist?" Allen took another step backwards as Tyki asked. He smirked in amusement at Allen's behavior.
"So I'm guessing that you are, huh?" Allen shook his head vigorously, his back hitting a tree. He was now cornered. He looked at Kanda, who was in a fighting stance, being approached by Tyki. Tyki was twirling two daggers in his hands. Tyki and Kanda circled each other, anticipating the other's move.
Kanda growled in annoyance and jumped in the air, swinging his sword at Tyki as he moved down. The sharp end of the sword was aimed right at Tyki's heart. Tyki stayed right where he was, not moving a single inch. A smirk pulled at his lips and a war cry was heard coming from Kanda. Allen turned his head to the side, not wanting to witness the gruesome scene that would surely happen.
When Allen looked back, however, what he saw was not a gruesome scene. Kanda's blade had passed through Tyki, but Tyki looked completely fine. Allen would have laughed at the bewildered expression on Kanda's face had they been in another situation. Cold sweat trickled down his spine as he watched Kanda get attacked by Tyki.
Kanda swung attack after attack at Tyki at the speed of light, only for Tyki to dodge them just as fast. Tyki lunged forward while Kanda moved backwards, distancing himself from his opponent. Or Kanda tried to, anyway. He cursed when his back met a tree and placed his sword between Tyki and himself.
"Shit…What are you? You're not like other demons at all. Too fast, too strong…What exactly are you?" Tyki snickered at Kanda's question and plunged a dagger into Kanda's left hand, pinning his hand deep into the tree. Kanda cursed even more when the dagger dug deeper into his palm when he tried to free it without using his other hand. His other hand was clutching his sword and hell could freeze over before he even released his sword in a fight.
"Do you know who the Noah are? They are special demons, far more superior than the likes of you weaklings. I am the Noah of Pleasure and there are others like me. We all work for the Millennium Earl." At this, Kanda snapped his head up in shock and growled in frustration.
"You are not going to get away with this!" Kanda slashed his sword at Tyki, only for it to pass through him.
"I have the power to choose what I want to touch and I can also control butterfly-like golems called Tease. They have a very strong bite." Tyki watched in amusement as Kanda tried to pull the dagger out with force again and tilted Kanda's chin to look into his fierce cobalt eyes.
"You remind me so much of a bird in a cage. I want to break you apart ever so slowly…" Tyki whispered, a sadistic grin appearing on his features. A soft whimper was heard from behind Tyki as Allen dropped the katana in his hand, sheer terror in his eyes.
Tyki grunted in annoyance and took a step away from Kanda.
"Sadly, I have something more important to do. We will definitely meet again, though, exorcist." Tyki lifted his head and brought it down with force, smashing his forehead against Kanda's. Kanda collapsed on the ground, his position uncomfortable as his hand was still pinned. He felt like the inside of his head was splitting in two as his vision blurred, the dumbfounded look on Allen's face the last thing he saw before everything faded to black.
Tyki stared intently at Allen and leaned down to whisper into his ear, a sadistic grin tugging at his lips once more.
"You're next, boy."
Allen gulped and closed his eyes, praying that everything was just a horrible nightmare.
