The blade cuts into the oni's chest, just as it raises its claws to tear Taichi apart. Recoiling backwards, the demon releases a hiss of anger as its shelled carapace begins to crumble away into dark purple sand.
"This is not the end," the demon hisses as its form collapses in on itself. "I have... the name of your kin... now I am... as much Unicorn as you..." It hisses one last time, a halting, choking sort of laughter to fades away as the last of its body crumbles, leaving an uneven patch of unhealthy-looking sand behind as a reminder of its presence.
Behind it, the three flaming yurts continue to burn into the night.
