The next thing Cedric hated most after an insolent sibling was an insolent child. So he needed to teach this brute a lesson.
One that would make him think twice before repeating the kind of shit he did moments ago in the sanctum.
Before the Oni could recover from the knee blow to his face, Cedric leapt, spun again, and struck the demon's jaw with the heavy hilt of his katana, causing the brute's head to snap sideways.
Then, he landed gracefully on the ground. However, barely a heartbeat later, he had already leapt again, and with his arm wound back, he delivered a brutal punch that sent the Oni flying several meters backward.
The demon's massive body rolled across the dirt before he finally managed to catch himself and halt on one knee.
It was at that moment that the brute knew that things might not go so easily as he had thought they would.
