The dog rushes at Dai'chi with its mouth wide open. Dai'chi swings his sword, grinning. The beast attempts to crush him with one bite, but Dai'chi easily parries the attack. The beast slashes downward with its paw. Dai'chi jumps over the attack and slices off the paw. The beast quickly regenerates the lost limb. Dai'chi lands back on the ground. He looks up. "Your regeneration is going to be annoying to deal with. Other than that, this thing won't be any trouble to kill," Dai'chi says, still unwavering in his confidence. He runs at the beast and jumps over it. He re-sheathes his sword, and halfway through the flip, he gets right above the neck of the center head and begins an attack. "Blade Demon Style, Fourth Form, Guillotine," Dai'chi says. A magic barrier forms at Dai'chi's feet. He kicks off the barrier and launches towards the ground like a bolt of lightning. Cerberus attacks to dodge Dai'chi, who flies downward too fast. With a swing of his sword, he cuts off the middle head.
Dai'chi flips around and lands back on the ground. He lands couched on the ground with his arms to the sides. The head of the dog falls behind him on the ground, and blood drips down from where it once was. He sheaths his sword. He breathes in and out. He gets up and slides one leg backward. "Blade Demon Style, First Form, Satanic Slash," Dai'chi follows up with. He quickly swings his sword, sending out a giant red slash. The slash flies forward and slices right through the front legs of Cerberus. Dai'chi jumps back onto the severed head of Cerberus as it comes crashing down. "Is that all you got? This house pet over here isn't going to last much longer, and then you are next," Dai'chi says. The severed head of Cerberus quickly decomposes along with the severed legs. Cerberus stands back up, with no signs of any injuries. Dai'chi lands back on the ground. "This might be a bit more annoying than I thought it was going to be. This regeneration is more annoying than any other one I've run into in a while," He says.
Cerberus becomes enraged. It dashes at Dai'chi much faster this time. Dai'chi goes to parry it, but the attack has too much force for him to fully stop. The momentum remaining from the charge sends Dai'chi flying into a ruined building, completely destroying it. His Katana goes flying to the side. Dai'chi walks out of the fallen building. His head is slightly bleeding from being launched, but he quickly heals the minor injury. "That had a bit more punch than I expected it would; it still won't cause problems," Dai'chi says.
The dog dashes out at Dai'chi again, growling as it gets closer. Dai'chi gets lower to the ground, preparing to punch the beast. "Shadow Style, Dark Punishment," Dai'chi says. His fist gets engulfed by a black and purple aura. When Cerberus gets close enough, he punches it. Cerberus goes flying through multiple buildings. Dai'chi rubs his hand. "That hurt a bit. This is why I don't tend to use martial arts in fights," Dai'chi says.
He walks over to his katana and picks it up off the ground. Cerberus gets up, but Dai'chi is already prepared for his next attack. "Blade Demon Style, Third form, Demonic Rush," Dai'chi says. He quickly dashes forward, only leaving an afterimage. Dai'chi quickly appears in front of Cerberus. He continues to dash forward, slicing Cerberus cleanly in half. He re-sheaths his sword and jumps in between the two halves of Cerberus as they begin to fall to the side. "Blade Demon Style, Second Form, Hell Rampage," Dai'chi continues. He quickly swings his sword in every direction, cutting every part of the beast into tiny bits.
As a last-ditch attack, Cerberus lights the whole area in a dark green flame, attempting to take Dai'chi out as well. The green flame turns the building remains into dust as it burns. After about a minute, the flame dissipates. The smoke from the flame disperses, revealing a nearly unscathed Dai'chi.
"Was that supposed to do something? A petty little flame like that would only be able to hurt someone like Dai'chi. If you intend to kill me, then you will have to do something better than that," Dai'chi says. He wipes the chars off his sword. He slowly starts walking towards the skeleton. The skeleton continues to look at Dai'chi, completely unfazed by his display of strength.
The skeleton begins to speak in Ancient Mysterio again. "Qui sevire hu dubire rsehraf yalk. Qui fsey Noire sabire ehn huz," The skeleton says once again. "O refk ksof fmay zoks ksire muzab ul lobire: Lobire Fmaebf," It chants. Multiple red magic circles appear behind the skeleton. Spears of fire fly out of the magic circles, straight towards Dai'chi. He cuts through the attacks with no effort.
Dai'chi sighs, unamused. "You keep repeating the same thing like a broken record. Are you capable of saying anything other than making claims you aren't able to back up with proof? Before saying that you are going to kill someone, you should make sure that you are actually able to beat them. I'll show you right here and now how to kill someone, except the one dying is going to be you," Dai'chi says.
"O refk ksof fmay zoks ksire muzab ul ksire aebks: Aebks Fmopaf," The skeleton chants. The red magic circles disappear from behind the skeleton and are replaced with brown circles. Spikes once again shoot at Dai'chi. This time, the spikes continue to shoot relentlessly. Dai'chi continues to walk forward, deflecting the attacks with no difficulty. He grins at how pathetic the skeletons' attacks are. "O refk ksof fmay zoks ksire muzab ul zekab: Zekabley." A magic circle appears above Dai'chi and shoots a large amount of water down. Dai'chi jumps forward and begins to dash towards the skeleton.
"Time to show you the power of someone who has actual power."
