The wind howled around them as Akaza unleashed a powerful gust of air, using it to try and force her off-balance. At the same time, he summoned a small dagger made of wind, aiming to stab her in the back with it. "Die!" He screamed, focusing all his rage and hatred into the attack.

Pain exploded through his body as she slammed him to the ground. The wind dagger dissipated harmlessly, and he felt something hard pressed against his rear end as she pinned him down. His face contorted in agony and fury, but before he could retaliate, a searing pain erupted from his backside. He screamed, unable to believe that she had actually shoved a stick up there.

"Let go!"

An experienced demon like Akaza would never underestimate his opponent's speed. Even as the human attacked with blinding swiftness, he managed to dodge each and every blow. His eyes narrowed in concentration as he continued to dance around Carl, feinting and weaving through their attacks. "You're quite skilled yourself... but I fear that won't be enough."

With a roar, Akaza suddenly launched himself backwards several feet before spinning back around towards the human.

"Hmph," Akaza snorted as he saw the human's expression change. "Very well." With that, he launched himself at Carl once more, his movements a blur of unstoppable force. He swung his sword with incredible power and speed, aiming to cleave the human in two.

The air around them crackled with energy as their swords clashed time and again, each strike more powerful than the last.
