Back when he'd seen that little dog-form Pochita, Su Tang had wondered whether there were Mouth Devils, Hand Devils, Butt Devils, even Dick Devils. He hadn't expected to meet the full set in one day!
And all under [Shèniè]!
Staring at the geoduck guffawing in the doorway, he frowned.
Good thing Denji-ko had said she was going to the library tonight and had dragged Power along, or they'd have been treated to a supreme sanity-draining spectacle.
"Leave this clinic now and I'll let bygones be bygones." Stepping out from behind his desk, his head turned draconic, feral jaws opening and closing as he said coldly, "You 'Guinea Pigs' walk your sunshine road; I'll cross my single-log bridge. Otherwise…"
"Otherwise what?" The Dick Devil showed no intention of retreating. Its body emerged fully from the shadows: an upright rod with no arms—until the Hand Devil that had just been summoned attached itself to the right side and became its hand. Like a mushroom cap, its "head" faced Su Tang as it laughed. "So you're the black-robed man reported three days ago—the one contracted with the Dragon Devil."
"I hear Guangxi has set out from HK with her vassal, the Dragon Fiend, to see what kind of 'dragon' you are."
"Too bad—she won't be seeing it!"
Guangxi?
He'd heard that name… three days ago.
Ms. Makima had mentioned the "first devil hunter."
He hadn't expected the person to be so free—crossing borders for a mere title.
Still, no matter; devil hunters were human, so there shouldn't be conflict.
As for the thing in front of him…
The blood-red eyes fixed on the self-styled Dick Devil. The name fit: the whole body was a vertical shaft; it had no hands until the Hand Devil attached and became one.
"Otherwise… you die!"
Given that braggadocious title, he didn't hold back. He went all out, turned into a streak of cyan light, and appeared before the geoduck in an instant.
With extreme speed came a driving gale; the dark-cyan dragon claw descended like Mount Tai!
"Boom—!"
The floor—reinforced thrice during construction—cracked with a giant fissure.
The hot water on his desk slid backward dozens of centimeters from the shock.
Peering at the geoduck pinned beneath his claw, doubt flashed in his blood-red eyes.
This was it?
It did have strength—stronger than the Leech Devil—but… it didn't seem worthy of "Guinea Pigs commander."
Had he been a worrywart, overestimating them?
Thinking that, his bloody maw opened, fangs bared. He grinned grimly. "If this is all you've got, you won't be going back to your homeland!"
"Rrraahh—!!"
He pressed down another layer with the claw!
The geoduck braced with its single hand, almost embedded into the floor.
"Damn it… if only I hadn't left my weapon behind…"
Gritting its teeth, its gaze skated around the clinic.
From Su Tang to the desk, from the desk to the sofa, from the sofa to the Angel, from the Angel…
"A devil?!"
The geoduck lit up like it had discovered treasure. Delighted: "Hahaha! Human, you're dead!"
While its hand strained under the claw, the Hand Devil was just as elated. "Prepare to be cut in two by Lord Dick's treasured blade!"
A treasured blade?
What blade?
Expression unchanged, Su Tang bore down harder.
As if to squash the geoduck alive.
"Lord Dick, hurry and draw! I'm at my limit!"
"Shut it! You think I can free a hand right now?!"
The geoduck's body trembled; in another four seconds… no, two… it'd burst!
Damn—how was this human so strong!
"Boom—!"
Su Tang's claw struck the floor.
Even pulling the blow, he shattered the flooring, grinding it to fragments.
Feeling the sticky stuff under his claw, he frowned and looked at the geoduck.
Its high, upturned "head" had been forcibly shaved by half—sharp rounded triangle turned flat top.
"Another tail-shedding escape. Devils these days are getting clever."
Shaking purple gore off his hand, he was about to press the advantage and end it when a flash of white light made him squint!
"Pain! It hurts! Damn human, I'll make you pay in blood!"
The Dick Devil's roar—choosing to give up resisting so its tough "head" could hard-top Su Tang's blow—was just to free up its hand.
Now—the chance!
It whipped up its hand, stretched toward where Angel Devil lay on the sofa, and grasped at the empty air beneath!
"Sacred sword—draw!!"
"Mmm—oo—ooo—nnn!!" Angel Devil, loafing and spectating, hadn't expected the battle to sweep her up. Her languidly sprawled body curled tight, her eyes bulged, and she let out a string of muffled cries; the halo above her head wobbled in concert.
Down there… down there… something seemed gripped in an iron fist—something was leaving him!
Meanwhile the geoduck grew more excited. Watching Su Tang charging through the white glare, it jeered, "Pointless! While I'm drawing, I'm invincible! No one can approach!"
The radiance seemed to peak.
Its pink body bulged with veins, as if exerting everything, and it bellowed:
"Come the hell out!!"
"—Angel Dick Sword!!!"
Blinding white light wrapped the geoduck and Angel Devil!
Something mysterious rushed into the Dick Devil's hand—as if draining Angel Devil's energy to the dregs!
"Nyyaaa—aaah!!!"
Angel Devil cried out. Suddenly she felt empty below; even her voice turned softer than before.
A razor-edged swordlight flashed in the night!
What a gleam! A sumptuous hilt inlaid with enamel, gems, and precious metals; a cold blade carved with arcane lines; an edge that reeked of murder!
"Haha! What a splendid sword!"
The geoduck ogled the peerless blade in its grip, feeling surge after surge of power pour into its body!
Power! Power! Still more damned power!
"Hahahahaha! Human—taste my blade!"
