AT. DEMON SLAYER
Chapter 16 - Death Smokes 1

***

The thickness of the death smoke that belonged to the kai almost covered the entire area of the caridbian fog forest, where their fight had taken place.

Kenz, who was severely injured and took a short break to recover his energy and energy, was immediately aware of the kai energy that was enveloping every area there.

Eeerrrgh...

Slowly kenz opened both of his eyelids and saw that all of the soaring smoke had covered half the surface of the caridbian mist forest, while xavier was creating his safe zone with his magic sword.

" He didn't mean to annihilate kai directly, he seemed to be studying kai. "

" Every time he finished learning kai, he spent the kai that became his opponent" said kenz in his mind who continued to watch the fight from afar.

" I just rested for a moment he has managed to make kai back to form again, what is so great his ability. "back said kenz.

" The three greatest figures of kai's are gone, should I help him? " kenz slowly got up to his feet, and immediately teleported to a closer area.

" Because our initial figure could not be destroyed." continued kenz, who quickly approached xavier.

Kenz looked around, there was almost no room for them to escape before the smoke covered every scope there.

" Hey, you! "

" Hurry out of here before this smoke of death sucks us in. "kenz said without further ado.

When he heard xavier pause from casting a spell to create his safe zone, "the smoke of death...! " the little xavier said without much thought he ran very fast somewhere, and the kenz who saw it followed him.

" Hey, where are you going? "

" Quick we need to get out of this place right now! " excite kenz while chasing xavier.

" You're the one who's gone, I still have responsibilities that I have to protect. "reply to xavier who's adding to his speed, while kenz after hearing the words xavier became silent for a moment because he remembered the sayyaka speech in the past.

•••

A flashback recollected in kenz's memory...

That night, right before they parted...

" Saiyaka come with me, then you'll be safe. "

" If you want to go, go. "

" I still have responsibilities to protect. "

" When I go with you who protects them. "

" Why should you care about their safety?! "

" Is your own safety not important to you ?! "

" You still want to find your sister anyway, don't you? "

" I am, after all, just like them. "

" Because I am also a part of them, both humans who have turned into cursed beasts. "

" It's only the difference that I'm turning perfect while they're not perfect. "

" Then after becoming a damned creature that fails, they will be used as an experiment to increase our perfection to become stronger again and again. "

" Is this all fair?! "

" What's more, there's a good chance my sister is one of them. "

" Even if I don't know which one, I'm gonna find him and help them all and save them. "

" You just want to find your sister, don't you, I'll help you. "

" Till we find your sister among them. "

" We can delay their experiment, I will ask the demon beast king himself directly. "

" I will always help you, but leave them and come with me. "

" No kenz, you don't understand the meaning of a responsibility and a relationship. "

" This has all been the path that I have chosen, this is the responsibility that I must protect and guard. "

" Even if I have to sacrifice my life. "

" I know you're not like the rest of your race, but still the road we're on is different kenz. "

" Even though I have turned into a cursed creature, I will never abandon the nature of humanity and feelings in me. "

" You go...! "

" Leave me right now, and don't get involved any more...! "

" But I can't leave you alone sayyaka. "

" Go kenz, if the demon beast king knows you're siding with us, then you'll also be in danger. "

" If you're also in danger, who's gonna help me find my sister when I'm gone. "

" What are you talking about?! "

" You'll be fine, and nothing will happen to you as long as I'm around. "

" You're different from kenz... "

" The body you are wearing now is the body of the covenant of his, therefore you are still standing on my side. "

" But if one day the figure of the body that you use today is destroyed, then you will not remember all the memories of us. "sayaka said little who then fell silent.

" Yin...! "

" If anything happens to me... "

" Please promise me you'll look after my sister if you find her, and promise me if you find the race of my people then you won't exterminate us all. "

" And promise me that you will also take care of the body you are wearing. "

" I promise you, sayyaka. "

" I'll leave this responsibility to you, Kenz. "

" If one day you are in doubt, follow your heart kenz. "continue saying farewell sayyaka that night.

" Then quickly get out of this place, because soon another army of demon beasts will come" said he to kenz.

" Hurry get the fuck out of here...! " exciting sayyaka

" Go and leave me alone here kenz...! " back to the thrill and then closed the door of his house.

Since then, Kenz has never met again with saiyaka, because at that time the entire army of demon beasts chased them all.

•••

Upon awakening from memories of his past, Kenz returned to pursue xavier and found xavier was tying a baby sling to his body.

" Is this what the smoke of your sam's death calls? "

" The smoke that will kill and suck all the lives of their opponents who have been confined in it. "

" This means he wants to exchange bodies or has found a new body to occupy. "

" I have to get out of this ring of smoke." xavier's little murmur that soon reached his side.

" The whole gap is closed, we can't possibly get out anymore" interrupted kenz who just came.

" Don't know who the kai chose, there's just us there's nothing else."

" So there is a possibility between the two of us that his body will be taken by kai, false kyorin it has been sucked out all the energy of his life.

" That will never happen...! " xavier's sidelines.

" On what basis does he want to take my body...! " katus xavier who then returned the shape of his magic sword back into a wand of wand ash.

Without saying much back xavier immediately cast his magic spells and with a wand ash in his hand, he also made a circle on the ground near the place where he stood at that time.

***

Then Xavier rushed to stand in the middle of the circle he had just made, then he glanced at kenz, "do you want to continue to stand there and become his puppet when he entered your body?! " xavier exclaimed at the time at kenz gesturing for kenz to enter the circle he had just made.

After kenz entered the center of the circle, xavier immediately returned to cast his magic spell.

" Dukkeoun...! " then slowly each side of the circle began to close and form a clear shield wall, but before the shield was closed all of a sudden a ball of light came and immediately slipped into the shield made by xavier.

" Hurry and close this shield...! " exclaimed that ball of light, when it was kenz and xavier immediately looked at the ball of light that could speak.

However, Xavier also saw a plume of death smoke that had started coming from a distance very quickly, so without asking xavier immediately closed the circle of the shield.

•••

Meanwhile, the azarya queen who had turned into a white eagle Haliaeetus pelagicus kept circling above the forest ceiling of the caridbian mist while carrying a baby basket on her side.

" As nun says, if the king of azzriel has sent your sams to capture xavier. "

" It is likely that xavier has confronted them and xavier has made them emit their own death smoke. "

" I did not expect xavier to grow stronger during his disguise in this demon beast palace, just to take care of me" said queen azarya in her heart.

Queen Azarya also continued to search for intercession in order to penetrate the smoke of death belonging to the sammu, "how can I enter the forest of fog and penetrate the smoke of death of these sammu? " queen azarya kept thinking and flew around the forest of caridbian mist.

•••

But in another place, two figures of beings who had enormous energy and strength had broken through the death smoke belonging to kai and were entering the forest of caridbian fog.

The two figures were none other than black and white demons, they were both made to wonder what was going on in this demon beast kingdom.

" God, I didn't think there was a creature that could make your sam emit their death smoke. "

" You're right white. "

" Maybe if I hadn't come alone to see all this, I would have thought it was just a prank. "

" Where are the opponents they are facing. "

" A opponent this strong the demon beast king azzriel kept something of this magnitude a secret from us. "

" I don't know what they're planning. "

" It may be that if we know the opponent then we will know their true purpose. "

" We need to take a closer look, I'm really curious who they're dealing with. "

" But remember we must be vigilant with the smoke of death of these sammu, if we are sucked then we will be controlled by them. "

" You're right, hopefully we're not the target either. "

The two black and white demons also barged into the smoke of your death to see what was happening inside, they also accelerated their steps in order to get to the location of the fight.

But without them knowing it, the hole they made to break into the plume of death smoke did not close back as usual.

The smoke gap continued to open wide, and queen azarya saw the opportunity.

Queen Azarya also entered the gap in order to get inside, "where should I go first? " little question in his heart.

" Monstareum mozzarck or looking for xavier? " back he said as he looked at the baby demon beast girl in the basket he was carrying, so that he had unwittingly flown past the smoke of death and was above the circle of the xavier defense shield.

" My son...! " he said in his heart when he saw his son was still with xavier, but queen azarya could not stop circling flying because the smoke of death was like eyeing everything in it.

Queen Azarya also rotated the direction of his flight and increased the height of his flight, he could not be there too long because the baby he carried could have been the target of smoke death kai as well.

" Why is kenz with them? " it was a question in his head, but the safety of the baby he was carrying was also important.

So that at that time the queen of azarya brushed off all her feelings, and flew around in the direction of the mozzarck monstareum.

" Hopefully he can help me. "think queen azarya hopeful that he who is in the mozzarck monstareum can help himself later, he said, now he's gonna put this baby there first and go back to helping xavier and saving his son.

•••

While xavier was when the light ball came, " hey...! who are you?! " xavier exclaimed because the ball of light was like approaching the crown prince who was in a xavier sling, and very quickly the ball of light went straight into the crown prince sling.

Xavier removed the crown prince's sling from his body, slowly lowering it to the ground and opening the crown prince's baby blanket sling to see who the ball of light was.

As soon as the blanket was opened, something moved out from behind the blanket cloth that wrapped around the crown prince's body.

Xavier was already getting ready to capture him with a wand ash, "quick out of there! " small cry xavier ordered that the light-ball creature would come out.

" Wouldn't want to. "

" Later you catch me. "say the ball of light from behind the cloth.

Without saying much kenz immediately put his hand into the blanket and pulled it out, it turned out that the ball of light was a small forest fairy.

" Take off, let go of me! " the little elf's screams revolted from kenz's hand, and then bit the kenz's finger very strongly over and over again.

" It's free it doesn't taste for me.., huhfft...! " the cold word kenz is expressionless, while xavier instantly makes a small cage box that resembles a birdcage from gold powder using his magic.

" Put him there. "let xavier, and kenz follow his orders.

" Don't lock me up, let me go! "

" or I won't help you...! " cried that taper little fairy.

" What can you do for us? " ask xavier and kenz.

" You don't know, I'm the master of this forest! "

" How dare you kidnap me! "

Uhuk...

" Kidnapping?! "

" Aren't you the one who came alone? " said xavier who choked when the little elf accused them of kidnapping him.

" That's enough ! "

" What is your purpose in approaching us...?! " katus kenz.

" I was ordered to follow you to rescue you from this place" the little elf replied quickly without the shortest semicolon.

" What did he say just now? " xavier asked kenz, but he shook his head.

" Hey little creature, try repeating your words earlier. "

" What was your purpose? "

" What do you mean follow, congratulations? "

" Are you kidding me? "

" How did you save us? "

" One more since when did you follow us? " xavier asked her so much.

" First, I'm not small ! "

" Secondly, I know this shield won't last long, so you're gonna have to get out of this smoke. "

" Third, you won't know the way out, and only I know. "

" Fourth, I have been following you. "

" Fifth, let me go now otherwise how do I get you out of here. "cried the little elf answering all xavier's questions while breaking down the little box-shaped golden cage made to lock her up.

BOOMMB...!!!

Not long after they spoke, suddenly a loud bang from the outside sounded like an explosion or the impact of a large energy that was about to destroy the shield made by xavier.
