When the demons head was just laying there, his eyes wide, he couldn't help but to ask what the hell just happened.

To that, you got down close to him, smiled softly, and said "my number one tactic is to try to get you to forget about your target. Once you seen I was "not a threat", you were more focused on the fight at hand, rather than your victim. A mistake all of you lower demons do. Goodbye now." Once the demon started to fade away, you walked over to the child he had, crouched down, and spoke softly.

"Are you ok? Did he hurt anywhere other than your cheek?"

The child shook its head, and you offered to take the child back to your place to help clean the wounds before returning them back to their home.

The child obliged, and you did exactly what you were supposed to. The parents were so happy to see their child again.

"I'm so glad you're ok!" The mom cried out before looking at you. "Thank you! We were outside, and I was finishing out in the garden when the demon came. I screamed for them to get inside, but they weren't quick enough, and since they were the closest thing to the demon, they got captured. I thought I'd never see them again!"

"I must be off. I'm glad you guys are reunited." With a quick bow, you walked back towards your house.

You loved seeing parents happy with their kids, but you couldn't help but to feel envious when seeing that type of scenario as well.

~~⚔️~~

The next day you decided to head over to the neighboring villages to make sure things are still going smoothly.

By the time you had left the second to last village, it was dark.

Just on the outskirts of town, you heard a voice yelling "wait wait!!" Behind you.

You stopped and turned to see a old man running after you. He pleaded that you stay the night in the village. Since living on the outskirts of town, he has heard a lot of weird noises, and he feared it was a demon. You assured him that if it truly was a demon, you would slay it, and he would be able to sleep soundly without hearing those weird noises. After 2 minutes of constant bickering between the two, eventually you just bided a fair well, and walked off.

~~

The old man was right. Indeed there was a demon that was causing all kinds of weird noises.

Upon walking up on the demon, you noticed he had to be a one of the lower demons.

When he looked at you, you seen a number engraved in his eye that had been marked out. His skin gray, hair black, golden eyes, and scars on his forehead and cheeks.

You could feel yourself shake with excitement. Finally, someone you hope could be of some sort of worthy fight.

You looked at his posture, and how his body was built. Upon further investigation, you noticed holes in his body. Demons can regenerate, so why aren't they closed up already? No..could he have somehow been brought back to life?!

No time for thinking, once the demon saw you, you had to spring into action.

This guy wasn't as strong as you had hoped, but he put up more of a fight than any other demon you have fought has.

The battle took about an hour and a half, and you were finally able to behead him. As you thought, this guy had been reincarnated, who or whatever reincarnated him made his neck tougher than it probably once was, which made it harder for you to behead him, especially since you don't have a breathing technique.

You stood, and watched the demon dissolve. You took slow deep breaths to try to regain your normal breathing rhythm.

"Wow! Such technique!" You heard someone shout from behind you. You quickly drew your sword and faced whatever was yelling from behind you.
