Thinking thus Soma acted. Taking out the trench knife he had blessed before he faced Kiba who moved to attack him, knife and sword impacting one another in a class that released sparks everywhere.
Moving his knife Soma redirected the blow Kiba sent him to the side and taking advantage of the opening formed Soma used a palm strike in Kiba's unprotected side.
"GHA!" Kiba gasped at the sudden attack on his side, unprepared for the subsequent palm strike in a critical location and feeling one of his ribs crack a bit. "That was dir-" However Soma did not let out the pressure, moving his knife in rapid succession to injure Kiba and not give him time to speak.
And yet, the knight was not to be underestimated, his sword moving to intercept the knife most times and whenever the two were in a contest of strength Kiba would come out victorious.
Only, even if Kiba managed to do that to a degree, and even if his speed and power were bigger, he was losing miserably in this competition. The sheer difference in technique made sure of that.
No matter from which angle and what speed Kiba used, Soma would redirect him and punish him for every strike. Soma was far too used to face better swordsman with greater speed and power, Soma was able to deal with Kiba clinically without that big of an issue besides the energy he was having to spend to do so as he had to keep Reinforcement in use.
'This exorcist, why is he winning?' Kiba asked himself, barely avoiding a knife swing that had just redirected his blade and was centimeters away from cutting deep in Kiba's shoulder. "He is just a human and I don't sense him using any holy power to augment himself! What trickery is this? Humans are the weakest race, I know that since I was one in the past and could not do anything.
It is just by becoming a devil a human can fight, only by abandoning humanity could I face my enemies. And yet, why am I still losing to this church's dog? Is he just that much more skilled than me with a sword? No, no it can't be it.
If it is just a difference in skill then it would mean I am too weak, too weak to kill a member of the church. "
As these thoughts of the church and all it entailed echoed in Kiba's mind, and as Soma's knife managed to slash at him multiple times, Kiba went all but berserk. Soma's figure in front of him looking more and more like those of the scientists that killed all his friends, that methodical and emotionless face Soma was using to dismantle him in battle looking more and more like the emotionless looks of the scientists when they experimented on them.
Kiba began to hyperventilate, his pupils widening as his sword stikes became more and more erratic. Demonic swords appearing all around as if to answer to Kiba's distress as he started having a PTSD-induced panic attack.
As for Soma, he was pushed back as swords started appearing all around. All reeking of demonic energy as the human-looking demon in front of him started swinging his blade around with wide abandon and demonic power being released all around.
'Shit, this thing is going berserk. I need to deal with it fast or he might go after the townspeople.
' Soma thought, his gaze becoming more resolute.
One of his hands was still grasping the knife he began reciting as his other hand took out the three other knives he had kept in his person inside his hoodie.
'I will not let you attack others. If you are going berserk I can't let you just walk away from this that easily.
I may not kill you, but I WILL stop you. ' Soma thought to himself before launching the tree knives in his hand, they moving in intricate patterns and all piercing Kiba in the chest.
"GHAAAA!"
"Demons like you are powerful creatures, stronger than humans naturally, but as such, they have their own weaknesses. For instance, you are weaker to weapons with purification attributes such as these.
" Soma said, now a bit calmer since the knifes were already inside Kiba's torso. With those in place, his threat level was disminished considerably since using any sort of dark energy with these knives inside the body would not be easy.
Guarding his trench knife and taking out two simpler ones instead. "Now, let us pray together.
A Prayer so that you cannot injure any human or corrupt any souls. "
In Kiba's ming, in the places that were not screaming in pain or paralyzed by his PTSD-induced panic attack, he wondered what this man was even talking about. Anyone who knew of how things worked in the current world knew that devils didn't go around corrupting souls or killing humans like what Soma was accusing him of.
"I Kill. I let live.
" The two knives Soma was holding almost flew out of his hands, both moving fast and piercing Kiba's both shoulders. Pain shot through Kiba as Soma watched dispassionately, if the demon did not enter this berserk-like state it would not have been so simple to start this purification ritual but he lost his speed advantage when he went crazy with bloodlust.
And thus Kiba lost.
And thus the prayer continued.
"I harm, and I heal. None shall escape my grasp.
none shall escape my sight. " Two more knives flew, these two piercing Kiba's knees even as he was in the ground already.
Bluish fire emerging from the injuries made by the blades. "Be defeated.
Those defeated, those grown old, I welcome you. Devote yourself to me, learn from me, obey me and rest.
I am light and I shall relieve all your burdens. Ask for forgiveness here.

I, the reincarnation, shall swear it. Kirie Eleison.
" And, with these final words, the final knife flew.
However, unlike in the proper ritual where the knife should aim for the center of the forehead, this one went to the center of Kiba's guts.
