Chapter XLVIII

He walked through the streets, not noticed by anyone. Occasionally stopping to look at the stray animals roaming the streets. A blind fortune teller stopped him, asking to read his palm. He smiled and stretched out his hands to the fortune teller. The fortune teller took his hand.He disappeared into the night sky, leaving the fortune teller alone and dazed. The fortune teller only managed to say one word, before he disappeared.


"A God...."

Chapter XLVII

Tien eyes opened slowly, his head hurting.

"I'm never drinking again." Tien said, massaging his temple. "That was one of the weirdest dream i ever had."

Sitting up, he took a deep breath and gazed at the grassland in front of him. Standing up, he turned and looked at Jing's gravestone once again.

"I think i would really have liked you." Tien said.

"I finally found you..." Den said, walking up to Tien.

"What do you want?" Tien said, studying Den. "How are your wounds?"

"I am fine." Den said, he hesitated for a moment before bursting out. "I really want to be your disciple."

"Okay."

"That easy?" Den burst out in surprise.

"Yes, it is hard to come by someone who uses the same magic as me." Tien said. Shifting his focus back at Jing's grave. "Which branch of soul magic have you attained?"

"Force." Den replied. "A really common type of soul magic, unlike your holy."

"You can tell i use Holy?" Tien questioned.

"Only the Holy branch have healing abilities."

"Smart. Now try to keep up." Tien said before he zoomed off at an amazing speed. Den quickly chased after Tien, trying to keep up.


A dark shadow appeared near Jing's grave, three figures appeared from the shadow. They had black markings on their bodies and fiery red hair. Their presence caused the surrounding grass to turn brown.

"Jing failed."

"She fell in love with the enemy."

"Shall we send another?"

"Send Qing then, she is far more trained to kill than Jing."

"Her sister?"

"Just tell her Tien caused her sister's death and bring her here."

"Understood."

"Face it Tien, She's gone."
"So you've bought death upon her..So what? She's already dead." Virgil added.
"Sigh"
"How many times have I told you to stick to yourself and not using your clones?"
"...ENOUGH!" "Guys..could you just..shut up for a moment? Please?"


The trio slowly walk up the small hill to their clan ruins, towards a beautiful Haven untouched by nature. At the center of the sanctuary lies Jing's grave. Tien stared at the tomestone before putting some flowers beside it.
"Even though I've been thru it countless times, I'm still not used to seeing anyone sacrificing themselves." He thought.

"It is almost time for the final battle.." Shadow said, walking over and gently place his hand on his brother's shoulder.
"But first, we need to find that old man.."

Chapter XLV

[You can understand me now Demon.] Tien's voice can be heard loudly in Den's head, however there was a very short echo in his voice. However, the voice was making Den's head throb, his head hurting.

Den crawled up from the ground, able to see Tien and the demon in full view now. Tien was floating, his pearl white hair has streaks of pale blue now. Den couldn't see, but a bright blue symbol was glowing on the right side of Tien's neck.

[Tell me Demon, how do like to be killed?] Tien said into the demon's mind. [Slowly?]

Immediately, without warning, the demon's entire right arm froze up and shattered.

"Aura eyes!" Den whispered, activating his ability. What he saw sent shivers now his spine. Tien was now glowing brightly, his aura so concentrated and powerful that it was blinding to look at.

[Rest... Eternally....]

Tien suddenly appeared behind the Demon, back facing it. The Demon blinked before it became completely frozen solid. Tien turned and gathered a bright ball of energy in his palm. Throwing it at the frozen demon, the demon shattered into dust.

"May your corrupted soul rest in the wind." Tien whispered before the symbol disappeared and he landed softly on the ground. He walked towards the ice dome and shattered it. Kneeling down, he softly touched Jing's cheeks, and her wound healed, leaving her as before.

"This is the best I can do." Tien said, carrying her up. "Don't want you to be buried scarred and wounded."

Tien slowly walked towards the exit of the town, carrying Jing tenderly in his arms.

"Tien..." Den weakly called out before he lost conciousness and collapsed.

Tien turned for a moment after hearing the voice, only to shake his head and continue on his way out of town.

Chapter XLIV

Tien tried to stop her but was too late, he could only see the glaring red beams burn into Jing, and she flew right into his arms. In shock, Tien could only respond by holding her close, kneeling on the ground so that she won't be weight down by her body.

"Why..?" Tien managed to ask.

"Because i can't afford to see you die a third time." Jing responded, enjoying the feeling of Tien holding her so tenderly. Jing tried to smile for Tien, however just as she tried she coughed hard, her injured body starting to feel numb. She raised her hand caressing Tien's face, his expression confused and afraid. She smiled once for him to see.

"Remember me this way, okay?" Jing said before the next wave of pain hit her, and she gasped out in pain. "I... I... love... you...T.. Tien." She managed to say while wave after wave of pain hit her and her body slowly started to shut down.

"Who.... are you?" Tien asked. Looking into her eyes, searching for an answer. Jing coughed out a large amount of blood once she heard him say that. She wanted to say something, but it was too late, as Tien's handsome face faded into the darkness.

Jing's eyes closed as her body went limp, a tear creeping past her closed eyes and rolling down her cheek and onto Tien's hand.

"Slavife RastIdas" The demon said, swinging it's sword fiercely. Tien shifted his attention from Jing's face to the demon, his eyes burning with fury. The rings on his hand glew white as Tien whispered his command.

"Show me what i have missed, my clones." Tien commanded, he closed his eyes for a moment, the memories flooding into his mind. Once he reopened his eyes. a tear fell from the corner of his eyes and fell onto his outstretched hands, and his teardrop merged with Jing's. It froze up and Tien placed the crystal clear frozen teardrop into an empty socket in one of his rings.

The demon took a step back, he sensed something was amiss, every part of his body was warning him, asking him to run away. Just as he looked into Tien's eyes, for the first time in the demon's life, he felt fear.

Den tried to get up, wanting to help Tien. He saw Tien create an ice dome over Jing's body, protecting her. As Tien stood up, his aura soared.

With his aura eyes, Den could only gasp in shock as all of a sudden, Tien's white aura flooded the whole town, blinding him as it glew brighter and brighter.

"God..." Den could only whisper as the power of Tien's aura lifted him up and sent him flying.
