I don't want to be an elf!

Pava was forced upon him by his boss, Machima, and there was no point in refusing.

To be honest, Denji prefers to fight alone. If the Public Security Bureau hadn't explicitly stated that Devil Hunters must work in pairs, and if Power, as a Blood Devil, didn't have the powerful ability to detect enemies by smelling their blood, he wouldn't have teamed up with such a brainless demon.

"hiss......"

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind swept in, stirring up dust and gravel from the ground.

Dianci had to raise his hand and squint to prevent foreign objects from flying into his eyes.

"This wind is really strange."

While battling the strong winds, Denji asked his partner, "Hey, don't you think the weather's a bit strange today?"

"Ah? What did you say?"

Pawa turned around, her long golden hair fluttering wildly in the wind, completely obscuring her face: "The wind is too strong, I can't hear you!"

“I said…”

Just as Dianci was about to repeat the question, an even stronger gust of wind suddenly swept in.

The wind speed was even several times stronger than before.

Along the surrounding streets, many women's skirts were blown up, revealing the beautiful scenery beneath.

However, faced with such strong winds, not a single man had the mind to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

Even Dianci was blown back several steps by the sudden gust of wind, and only managed to stand up after bending over and lowering his center of gravity.

Although Pawa was also a bit disheveled, her quick reflexes allowed her to grab onto the railing before she was blown over by the wind, thus saving her life.

Others, however, were not so lucky.

Elderly people and children who were not holding onto anything fell over one after another. Many shop signs placed outside were smashed on the ground. Even the lids of some trash cans were blown off and crashed into the car of an unlucky person parked on the roadside.

Passersby stood there, still shaken, not knowing what had happened.

Until the piercing alarm sounded.

[Demon attack! Demon attack! Please evacuate immediately!]

[To reiterate, demon attack! Demon attack! Residents in the surrounding area, please evacuate immediately!]

An official announcement from Japan resounded throughout the neighborhood, informing the chaotic citizens what had just happened.

The demon has appeared!

"That gust of wind just now... was it the work of the devil?"

"I have an important meeting to attend! Damn it!"

"What are you waiting for? Run with me!"

As the alarm sounded, people's expressions turned panicked.

Every pedestrian on the road ran wildly in the opposite direction of the wind, trying to get as far away as possible from the demon that had caused the commotion.

Even those who had just fled from Pava were no longer afraid of the Blood Demon and brushed past her.

Only the two demon hunters present went against the tide.

They are demon hunters.

Creatures that ordinary people fear are, in fact, targets for them to hunt down.

Upon learning of the demon's appearance, their faces lit up with anticipation, and they rushed towards the sound of the alarm.

Before we knew it, the sun was blocked.

The once clear blue sky is now covered with dark clouds.

The heavy, leaden clouds almost pressed down on the ground, and the oppressive atmosphere felt like an invisible hand gripping people's necks, making it hard for them to breathe.

Within minutes, there was no trace of pedestrians left on the streets of Tokyo.

During what should have been a bustling time, shops and stores closed their doors, pulled down iron gates, and locked their doors, keeping out the gusts of strong wind.

Only madmen and fools would dare to go out in such terrible weather.

Standing on the top floor of the high-rise building, Pawa's pen trembled, trying to find the taste of blood in the wind.

Impatiently tapping the floor with his axe, Dianci couldn't help but ask, "Have you found the direction yet? If we don't go soon, the other demon hunters will snatch the prey first!"

"I'm already trying my best! Stop making noise!" Pava turned around and glared at his partner. "The wind here is too chaotic, blowing the smell of blood everywhere. It's going to be super difficult to find the source!"

"It's just a matter of ability, tch, you're really useless."

"Huh? Then why don't you go for it?"

"Can I go to my morning appointment now?"

"If you can't do it, then shut up!"

Just as the two were arguing, a huge rumble of thunder came from afar.

Denji instinctively looked toward the direction from which the sound came and squinted his eyes.

On the horizon, two tiny black dots could be seen.

The black dot moved erratically in the sky, sometimes rising and sometimes falling, sometimes accelerating and sometimes stopping.

Under Denji's questioning gaze, the two black dots seemed to have reached a tacit agreement and rushed towards each other.

"boom----!"

When they collided, a thunderous roar resounded once more, and a blinding light burst forth in the air.

"Pava, is that the demon we're looking for?" Denji asked doubtfully, pointing to the black dot in the east.

"Huh? Wait a minute..."

Pava, who had been focusing on smelling the air with her eyes closed, looked in the direction Denji was pointing and took a deep breath.

As a blood demon, she can not only manipulate her own blood to stop bleeding and shape it into weapons, but also distinguish the taste of the blood of various creatures.

As long as there are demons nearby, she can find their hiding place by the smell of their blood.

However, if the other party is too far away, or if there are other smells in the air, then finding the target will be much more difficult.

"That's right, that's right, that's right! It's those two guys!"

With Denji's help, and after confirming their target, Pava excitedly said, "Hurry, hurry! The blood of those two demons smells incredibly delicious. We absolutely can't let other demon hunters get there first!"

"That's too far."

Looking at the two black dots almost at the other end of the city, Denji's eyes twitched a few times: "By the time we run over there, it will be dark."

"Isn't it already dark?"

"That makes sense," Denji nodded thoughtfully. "Then there's no problem, let's go!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh—!"

Driven mad by the blood, Pava roared excitedly, and with a stomp of his feet, began parkour between the tall buildings.

Denji gripped his weapon tightly and followed behind her, moving towards their destination at top speed.

Despite being human, he clung tightly to the back of Pava, who was a demon, without showing the slightest sign of strain.

This is also a matter of course.

From a young age, Denji lived as a civilian demon hunter, earning the necessary money.

In an industry where you could meet your maker at any moment, it's impossible to live long without strong physical fitness.

The two of them leaped between the tall buildings at a speed and posture that normal humans could not achieve, heading straight towards the other side of the city.

After running for about ten minutes, the two small black dots finally grew a little bigger, allowing them to barely see two blurry human figures flying in the sky.

"Looks like my speed has increased quite a bit again!"

As they drew closer to the two figures, Pawa proudly declared, "I thought it would take another hour or two to get there, but it looks like I can get my hands on some delicious blood in another twenty minutes!"

"Strange, are we really that fast?"

Although both of them are idiots who lack common sense, if a comparison must be made, Denji, as a human, clearly has more so-called common sense.

That's why he sensed something was wrong.

Yes, they approached the shadowy figure too quickly.

Both of them had been running at full speed for more than ten minutes. Although they were not completely exhausted, their speed should have been much slower than at the beginning.

However, the shadowy figure approached several times faster than it had at the beginning.

It's getting faster and faster.

It felt as if they weren't approaching the shadows...

Instead, it was a dark shadow moving towards them!

"Stop!"

"We're almost there, I'm not stopping!"

"You idiot, stop right now!"

Denji grabbed Pava by the collar as she ran ahead of him, and the momentum almost strangled her to death.

Pawa, who had been abruptly stopped, rubbed his neck and coughed violently.

Once she felt a little better, she suddenly raised her head, jumped onto Dianci, and pinned him down.

"You bastard! What's wrong with you?! Do you know how much that hurt?!"

"That's because I told you to stop, but you wouldn't listen!"

"Why should I stop just because you say so? I am the strongest Blood Demon! I will not obey mere humans!"

"boom----!"

Just as they were about to start arguing again, the loud crash from the collision rang out once more.

However, this time it was clearer and more shocking than the previous two times.

Pawa couldn't help but turn around and look in the direction of the dark figure.

"What's going on? Why are those two dark figures getting closer even though I'm not moving?" she asked, her eyes wide with surprise and uncertainty.
