The man had simply faded from view. Leaving only his coat behind. For a moment Tsumi stared at the remains of the coat before a pain cut up across his abdomen. He felt the lightning burning him and the blade slicing him and in that second he felt the fear of death. He firmly believed that these three had brought an army to fight him and were trying to cut him down. They had warned him but he had been so confident. However the slash wouldn't go entirely as far as Kitsumi had intended. Instead the blade would arc laterally and reach about halfway through his abdomen before slamming into his hand. His fingers wrapping around the blade. But even then it didn't seem as if it cut as deep as it should. Instead the hand seemed to grow and turn red as did the rest of Tsumi. The blade held firmly despite him bleeding slightly. His black horns would grow rapidly as he towered over Kitsumi now. Those dreadful eyes staring down at him as a crown of flames appeared above his head. This was no longer something they were built to deal with. His inner demon had emerged for his survival.
If Kitsumi was affected by dread gaze he wouldn't even have time to ditch his sword and run. If not he would be caught up to quickly. A hand reaching around his waist as if he were a toy and with a different stance now he would forgo the coordination boost entirely. Instead he took upon himself the form of a demon and its martial arts. His strength raising to A++++ and his Constitution raising to B++. He would snarl as one hand held the sword by the blade and the other if he caught Kitsumi by the waste lifting him to his level. His grip like Iron around him. Painfully squeezing him.
"Get out of my face."
With that he would hurl Kitsumi straight up into the air. Sending him flying at nearly S rank speed up into the sky. His mind shifted into the rage of them trying to kill him. Of the trickery for bringing in an army against him. His demon blood burned hot as he turned to the rest. Tossing the mans sword to the side. The others were slow. Approaching him at D rank speed as she had created clones with blades. Behind them moving slightly faster was a wave of lightning from the girl he hadn't made it to. These kenjutsu users had held him at bay so far. A growl with smoke escaping the sides of his mouth would echo out before he reached out beside him. They were not fast enough to reach him in time but they were coming. His right hand reached out to a nearby pile of rubble since they were in a room filled with it. Cupping his hand he would let out a roar before sending out a wave of stone and rubble at full strength. If they had an army between him and them he would wipe it out. A wave of debris would fly forward at A++++ speed. Slamming through everything in its path like a wave of destruction. However if they hit the clones they would be subsequently absorbed or destroyed by the amplified lightning jutsu flying at him.
However that too would be slower than him. His movement blurred once more as he would charge it. Slamming it with his fist as he took the brunt of the damage. Yet it didn't seem to do more then leave burns on his red skin. If the clones had somehow countered his attack and evaded that wave of lightning he should have a clearish path to the girl who had been launching jutsu at him. So he would charge her down. Lightning was injured in his way too but he would simply attempt to bowl through her if she got in his way at C++ speed. Tanking her sword if she tried to use it or her ninjutsu if she tried that. However in return she would be shoulder checked to the side. A mere swipe of his might to send her flying into a building (Not intended to kill...just some bruises and likely unconscious if she takes the hit). Her clones if they evaded his attack were simply not fast enough to get in his way again. It was clear he was coming for Yasuka. A massive red hand with a cut through the palm would reach out for her. If she didn't find some way to outrun him or stop him he was going to grab her by the face and lift her up. Intent on using her as a throwing weapon to anything or anyone still coming at him.

- Chakra 97/110:
- Name: Demon Art: Dread Gaze
Rank: B
Power: B
Activation Cost: C [5]

Range: Target within 5m

Skill: Yokai KKG
Classification: Clan Exclusive [Yokai]

Description: The Yokai generally preserve a sense of humanity as they pass the day, revealing their demonic ancestry only by the most persistent of tell-tale signs. But sometimes, the ugly nature of the demon simply must surface. That brief moment where the Yokai forcefully reveals their most fearsome face is a moment few would like to experience a second time. The terror is so great, their hapless target momentarily loses control over their finer motor skills, turning their actions into a clumsy stumble (coordination: -1 tier, 1 post).
Weakness: For each subsequent use on the same target (in the same thread), the target's mind improves its resistance against the 'unexpected'. The techniques's coordination penalty is lowered by 1 disadvantage every use after the first until it completely loses its effect.- Clan Jutsu Trained:

Hand Seals:
Description: Even though the Yokai generally maintain a sense of humanity so as to remain (mostly) undisturbed, there are moments where they find the need to 'unleash hell' upon the world in the form of unbridled, pure-blood demonic pride. By tapping into their demonic ancestry, the yokai discards the human masquerade in favour of their demonic form. This activates the already present mutations inherent to their path, and forces them into a temporary transformation as the technique brings out their cursed bloodline in full.
Oni
In this form, the oni rivals the most powerful of its kin, threading upon the pathways of the Greater Oni legends. Fully transformed, their skin is hellish red. Horns and nails turn black, and their face becomes the reflection of malefic intimidation. They receive a boost to strength (+++) and constitution (+++) and are more than eager to make the world tremble in fear.

Description: When faced with demons of any kind, many remind themselves that the greatest heroes are often forced to deal with beings of superior strength and resilience. While such stories are easily discarded as just that, the Yokai tend to pride themselves in embracing their demonic ancestry. And to that extend, there is nothing better than providing a standardised fighting style which reflects that notion.
The 'Demon School' fighting style is one which caters to those who embrace the idea of sheer power. Muscle strength, broad powerful strokes and enduring raw strikes is what this school is about; eventually forcing the body of the student to surpass the limitations of 'mere mortals' until it rivals steel in hardness.
