This was about hunger, now. James Sunderland's taunts returned to him void, the monster no longer interested in his distractions. Jack's back-pedaling went unmarked, unnoticed by the massive creature.
No, its focus was entirely on the one who had once been Amano Ginji. Its focus was on the hungry look in those eyes. And its hunger was far greater than any mortal man's.
The flashlight's frantic beam illuminated the mask sliding open once more, that maw opening wide in what might have been a grin of triumph. Electricity crackled between them, power shooting between their bodies as though they were dynamos instead of demons.
Then Indra roared. It was a roar that could deafen men, a primal howl of hunger that might have sent primitive men huddling in their caves and ancient priests setting up offerings to appease the god-demon's insatiable hunger.
And what an offering had been given. Raitei's flesh and blood tingled, as different from that of normal mortal's as night and day. Despite all of those wounds, Raitei was still fighting, punching and striking at Indra's unholy body with far more fury than had previously been shown. Even Indra, the mighty demon, felt the sheer power behind each strike.
The reward? Indra swiped at the attacker with its left hand, either driving off its assailant or cutting deeply with its discs... then it pointed Vajra, the Celestial Thunder, at Raitei. Once more lightning shot out, aimed directly at the one who had struck Indra. If he wished for power? If he hungered for the lightning which put his own to shame? Raitei would receive it.
