You have 1. =DYou genuinely hesitate and think about the demon’s offer. On one hand, it was clearly evil. And not the subjective kind: This kind of creature was as close to objectively evil as being could really get. That being said… You didn’t know enough about kami, spirits, and demons to really know for sure. Not with legitimate certainty. While it was true that it was unlikely any kind of healthy spirit would be doing things like this, perhaps there were examples of ‘demons’ that weren’t that evil? Like the spirit of a blueberry bush getting gnarled and tangled up with the spirit of a beehive and manifesting as something? The power didn’t interest you, but is there mere existence of something DIFFERENT enough to warrant killing it?
You turn around to look at the demon, intent on analyzing it with your eyes only to find that it has slowly crept much, MUCH closer to you. Its face was near, its claw nearly touching you.
Your spirit gets close to that evil and recoils; It’s as if your very soul was being invited to go swimming naked in a river of raw sewage. The FILTH this thing exudes was immense. It was wrong, wrong to its core. You immediately generate a Water Bullet right into its face to get it do back the fuck away from you, and then whirl around to direct your spray at its core.
The second your <span class="mu-b">blue</span> touches the core it immediately starts imploding as if it were on fire. The rice demon immediately begins screaming and thrashing, rapidly deflating like a balloon. You really did feel sorry for this thing. As it dies you bring your hands together in prayer, the same you’ve done for everyone else in your life who died. You focus your will on projecting mercy. Pity.
<span class="mu-b">“May you find new life in the Pure Land. Begone from here.”</span>
In a last ditch effort to survive, the thing lunges at you with its teeth, intent on bringing you down with it. But it can’t get any closer. Your whole being is radiating <span class="mu-b">BLUE</span> now.
The entirety of this false world begins to quake violently, the dying demon is sending showers of rice and white flesh raining down all around you as it disintegrates. Eventually it has completely disappeared, and in its place you see fresh sprouts of rice grass emerging from the water.
