Upper Moon Three never made it to the ground, because his body had been completely reduced to ash by the sunlight before he could land.
"Phew... that feels good."
Duanmu Huai raised both hands and stretched.
As expected, he still needed to work his muscles from time to time to relieve stress.
In the fifteen years since his reincarnation, Duanmu Huai had never killed anyone with his own hands, and he had accumulated quite a bit of stress. After a proper brawl with an opponent that just wouldn't die no matter how hard he hit it, he felt completely refreshed.
Hmm... it seemed that coming here to blow off some steam every now and then was actually beneficial.
Duanmu Huai gazed at the rising sun before him and yawned. Then he reached out and picked up the sword he had tossed aside. He could feel the blade absorbing the remaining demonic energy left behind by Upper Moon Three. At the same time, he had more or less sensed the "door."
The sword was like a key. Once it absorbed enough demonic energy, it would be able to open the "door" and travel through time and space.
Originally, a prey as excellent as Upper Moon Three would have been enough for Duanmu Huai to return to the modern era simply by cutting it down. But he had insisted on having a hand-to-hand fight with it, and the result was that this key... well, it hadn't absorbed nearly enough energy.
What a hassle. It looked like he still had to kill a few more demons.
"She isn't a demon..."
Seeing Duanmu Huai stretching comfortably in the sunlight, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. If the girl before them were a demon, she wouldn't be standing there, leisurely basking in the sun.
