67_ Kiss Of Death.

The Devil King shot a Death arrow ; formed from his own Dark energies at The Emperor , the force causing him to crash down into the rocks below causing a blast to run through the air.

Dai Fang descended as he spoke ;

" Pathetic. You will never defeat me..."He derided . "You shall only die trying!"

Jianhuo Huang breathed heavily as he rose from the dust and felt blood trickle from the side of his mouth and clenched his fists. Holding his ground as Blue mana emanated from his Sabre and his eyes dissolved in that of a burning flame ,He ascended upwards , as golden rings enforced his hands, summoning A Golden Spirit Dragon to come to his subject .

"I...Jianhuo Huang ...Emperor of Kanerria Dynasty..." He declared disdainfully to the Man hovering in the skies. "Shall be the one that put an end to you , Devil."

Dai Fang eyes gleaned in fury as an overwhelming amount of dark energy flowed through him. His eyes turned bloodshot as he faced his enemy, His inner demons seeping out of him to create a raging monster.

A fiery red circle of burning rings appeared behind him and two white eyes opened from the heart of the swirls of crimson. The Dragon Mark that had been coiled around his chest spread around his entire body as Crimson Spirit Dragons came forth and encircled their Master , whose eyes were burning with hot Fury.

"Destroy Him."

The spirit beast and the powerful being charged towards Jianhuo. All of a sudden , Jianhuo Huang forced Mizuki onto her knees ; making her come between them ; all whilst the Crimson Dragon made way towards him to annihilate him. He had previously captured her without his devilish opponent's knowledge.

"To Destroy me , You have to end her too." He grinned as he dug his fingers into her open wound and she cried out in pain . "What will it be Dai Fang?"

Jianhuo looked towards him with surety as he strengthened his hold on his Sabre for his next action.

"I know you Dai Fang." Mizuki professed as she bled . "Do not be the devil they say you are...Do not be like him..."

Dai Fang diverted his Dragons and they crashed into the plains behind Jianhuo. A large blast swept through the environs.

"Let her go." He spoke grimly. "She has no part in this."

Jianhuo scoffed as he rose to the skies with Mizuki still captured in his grasp.

"So The Devil King has a heart after all, caring for such an insignificant girl ."The Emperor scoffed as he tightened his grip on Mizuki and his Sabre. "Here I was thinking you were all powerful, invincible, but you have the greatest weakness of all."

"Let her Go." Dai Fang said again and grasped his Demon Blade , the wrath in him began to rise.

"Oh..." Jianhuo smirked evily. "I will..."

A red liquid came down her lips as Jianhuo's Blade tore through her abdomen and he let go of her. The Emperor stretched forth his hand as His Celestial Dragon obeyed his command and lurched towards Mizuki with the aim of devouring her.

Her entire life flashed before her eyes as she was about to die. She realized she had lived a meaningless existence of being without purpose , without life...Without love. If she had not met Dai Fang , Yes , her life could have turned out differently but Mizuki would not wish it any other way. Because , She realized in that moment , with Dai Fang , she had true passion.

With him and him alone , did she and will she ever Live.

Mizuki opened her eyes as she felt a familiar touch and brought her back to her senses and saw that it was Dai Fang shielding her in his Embrace as Jianhuo's Dragon collided against him. His jet black hair began turned into Silver as he groaned Repressing the energy from destroying both of them.

But approaching from afar , she sighted an incoming arrow targeted directly towards Dai Fang and knew that he would not survive it at the point he was. He has risked every thing protecting her and in that instant...

She knew what had to be done

Dai Fang was stunned when Mizuki pushed him aside and The arrow pierced through her heart ; blood dripping from her slightly parted lips as she fell upon him.

"Mizuki..." He muttered , holding her in his arms as she gasped for the faintest breath . "Why..."

Mizuki weakly raised a hand as she touched his face , looking once more into his deep , enigmatic eyes. "My Life is nothing without yo. I will sacrifice everything for you , over and over again because I love you Dai Fang..." Mizuki Yang took in a last breath and her hand fell to the dust.

She was gone.

"No...Mizuki..." Dai Fang murmured, his breath faltering as he felt the last life go out of her. His hand gripped the sand as he let out a loud shout , which fulminant radius tore through the Dark Forest. All went still in that moment , as all the remaining Soldiers that still fought were killed instantly and Demons went on their knees in acknowledgement of their Master's Anguish.

For the first time in a thousand years , Mizuki Yang was the only woman who had made his heart race. She was pure hearted , unequalled , precious... and she had

laid down her life for someone as unworthy of her love as he was.

He was not going to lose her.

His body seethed with boiling emotion and his heart hardened as Jianhuo descended and stood behind him , wanting to take advantage of this vulnerable moment.

The Devil King summoned his Demon Blade and Heaved it against the earth with a mighty blow. Hell's Fire burst out from beneath him , forming into a ring that encircled him and the girl in his arms ; the Flames burning with an extraordinary heat and ferocity.

Although stripped of his Immortality, Dai Fang could never truly die but only reincarnated as he was once a Divine being. But as Mizuki was a mortal , it would be impossible for her spirit to go through the process of Rebirth.

But Dai Fang was willing to defy all laws , heavenly and otherwordly for them to be together. Holding her tightly , His long dark hair had turned in silver as he transferred all his spiritual energy into Mizuki . As he felt both strenght and power leave his very eessence as the red light coming out of his hands intensified while he felt weaker and weaker with every mana that left his body.

Dai Fang was completely drained of all his powers when Jianhuo seeing an opportune , delivered a lethal strike ; thrusting his Sabre through The Devil King's chest.

"I will wipe you Jianhuo Huang and your descent from the face of the earth for what you have done." The Devil King vowed. "Be it a hundred years...Be it a thousand...I will..."

Slowly , the body lying in his embrace began to dissolve into embers that whirled up into the sky as the Dark void of Darkness enveloped him and he was to begin his abyssal awakening....
