Episode 11

It's been two days since Dominic trained under Ilux. They held their training exercise in a large lush forest, where there also a large waterfall the size of three houses stacked on top of each other. Ilux kicked Dominic in the stomach with his left leg. The force of the impact sent Dominic rolling backwards thirty feet until he crashed into a large boulder. The impact made Dominic closed his eyes for a moment. He then soon felt a presence coming toward him. He rolled off the boulder to his right. Three daggers pierce the boulder where Dominic head was at. The impact of the daggers caused the boulder to crumple. Ilux Revolt Step beside Dominic. He grabbed him by his head and slammed him into the ground. He then begin to gather spirit energy in the hand where he grasped Dominic head. Dominic summoned a ice spike in his left hand. He then slammed the ice spike into the hand where Ilux grasped his head. Ilux let go of Dominic head.

Dominic then kicked his right leg toward Ilux gut. Ilux jumped backwards five feet. Dominic stood back up. Dominic stood hunched forward with his arms hanging in front of him. Ilux then saw Dominic's blue spirit aura turn red. "Dominic, that's enough for now. We'll take a break now.” Dominic fell onto the ground lazily. Ilux then sat afterwards. "This is harder than I thought it'll be.” "You never any form of training before. Your body just got to get use to this kind of training.” Ilux then focused his energy to see Dominic spirit aura. His aura turned back into it's normal blue color. "Do you know how to read spirit aura” asked Ilux. Dominic shook his head no. "The only thing I was able to learn is to sense other people's spirit energy, Revolt Step, and to summon that ice spike.” "So you still a novice fighter. How did you learn these techniques?” "I learned them while fighting. For Revolt Step and the sensing I learned while studying other people. The ice spike I learned by instinct.”

"I see...well I'm bout to teach you how to sense people's aura. I need you to look at me closely. Empty yourself from this world. Don't even try to think of my physical body. Think on how my spiritual body will look like.” Dominic begin to stare blankly toward Ilux. He begin to try to sense Ilux spiritual aura. Ilux then gave Dominic a right hook to his right head. "What was that for?” "You're trying to daydream on me. That's not how you read someone spiritual aura. You must try to look at them as a spiritual being. Now try again.” Dominic stared at him again. He begin to focus his spiritual energy to look into Ilux spiritual aura. After two minutes Ilux body became transparent to him. His body was replace by a green wave of spiritual aura coursing throughout his body. He blinked and he then saw Ilux regular body. "You saw my spiritual aura didn't you.” "Yeah, I did. What's the point in teaching me this?” "You can tell how a being emotion is when you look into their spiritual aura. As you can tell my spiritual aura was calm and relaxed.”

"How was mines while we was training?” "I can tell that you was nervous and afraid. That's until it changed.” "What do you mean it changed?” "It seems that our blood really course through you. I felt the power of your inner demon.” Dominic slammed his fist into the ground. "That's a bunch of crap. I was told I couldn't have a inner demon cause of my diluted blood.” "We thought that people that have less than half demon slayer blood can't have inner demons. But now we know that we're wrong. Cause I sensed its presence and spiritual aura inside of you.” "What does this mean?” "Your inner demon can come into surface at any moment.” "Well, can't you seal it off. I heard you'll can do that.” "I could but it can be fatal.” "How's that possible? You'll be doing it to demon slayers at birth.” "That's the point. We can only do it during birth. You reached adulthood now. If I try it now you'll die. Cause now the demon is a part of you now. You'll both share the same body. If one fails the other will resurface.”

"So I'm doomed to share my body with a demon.” "Yes, that is true.” "So what do I do when it surface?” "You must suppress it.” "And how exactly do I do that?” Ilux look toward the sky. "To suppress it you must....” Ilux looked back at Dominic with a serious look on his face. Moments later he put his right hand on the back of his head and did a wide smile. "I don't exactly have a clue. This is something that you must figure.” "You sure full of information.” Dominic stood back up. He was able to stand more erect now and punch the air a couple of times. "I think I'm ready to continue training.” "Sit back down. I got a different kind of training for you.” "What kind of training?” "You're going to try to suppress this inner demon of yours.” Dominic gave him a smirk. He sat back down onto the ground. "Close your eyes. I'm going to send you into your inner self. I'm going to keep you there for a hour. So do what you have to do quick.” "How am I suppose to find this demon.” "He'll find you. Now close your eyes.” Dominic closed his eyes. Ilux formed a x with his hands. He quickly sent his hands forward. He kept his hands forward toward Dominic while a green sphere surrounded Dominic. Dominic body slumped into the ground. Dominic opened his eyes and stood up. He begin to look around him.

He was in a area with large ice spikes and crystals everywhere. They ground was even made of ice. But the ice on the ground wasn't even slippery. "So this is my inner self. It's a embodiment of my spiritual pressure.” Dominic summoned his demon slayers power. He grasped his two daggers tightly and turned swiftly behind him. He held his left dagger up high and another dagger that looked exactly like his collided with it. He looked toward the figure who launched the attack. He saw a male who was about his hight, had a very pale skin tone, had long silver hair that reached toward his lower back, he also had yellow eyes, and had a horn in the middle of his head, and had on a long sky blue shirt that reached down to his ankles. "Who the hell are you” asked Dominic. "You should know who I am boy.” "So you're my inner demon.” "Exactly, you shouldn't have came here.” "And why shouldn't I?” "Cause you left your body valuable for me to take.” "Sorry....but my body is off limits to demons like you.” Dominic pushed his dagger forward to send the demon away a few feet away. "I heard you surface into my body. Why is that?” "I have my reason why.” "Well, I have to teach you how to learn your place.”
