That Person. Later on...

Haosui transformed right in front of me. I don't know what's going on, but I guess the influence of the red ball that she had swallowed start to take effect.

Haosui is aware of the changes in her body. She opens and closes both her hands to confirm it. Finally she clenches her hands strongly and raised the corner of her mouth slightly into a smile.

[THIS OVERWHELMING POWER..... THIS IS THE POWER I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR.....] (Haosui)

No, this is wrong. She muttered before that she wanted to protect someone. Then, what she is looking for is the power to protect someone, but I think the power she has now is different. From the mist that surrounded Haosui, I can feel only evil. That's why.....

[Is this really the power you wanted?] (Wazu)

[SHUT UP..... WITH THIS POWER..... I WON'T LOSE ANYBODY EVER AGAIN] (Haosui)

Haosui dashes at me at the same time as she says so and it's faster than before. Her movement is really just an instant.

But still, it feels so slow in my eyes, maybe because I have become accustomed with her movement. I don't think that I should avoid it. I will take Haosui's attack directly as to deny the power that she has.

Haosui's powerful fist reaches my abdomen, but I'm fine. I don't budge even an inch and stand calmly on the spot.

[LIE..... THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE.....] (Haosui)

Haosui can't believe that I am still fine after receiving her attack. She punches and kicks me for many times as if losing herself, but I am just standing in the same spot unhurt like nothing happened.

[WHY!?..... WHYYYY!?.....] (Haosui)

Hoasui is getting frustrated because she can't believe what's in front of her eyes. She leaps backwards and raises her hand towards the sky as if there is something there.

[COME..... MY SWORD.....] (Haosui)

With those words the sky turns dark, and lightning starts roarring .One of the lightning strikes falls into Haosui's hand and from there, a sword appeared.

Although it seems to be just an ordinary sword that only has the length equal to or greater than Haosui's height, but that sword makes crackling sound as if it was the thunder itself.

Haosui slowly takes a stance, she's pointing the tip of the sword at me. However, her expression that looks over the sword is somewhat uneasy, her pupils are swaying.

[WITH THIS POWER..... WITH THIS SWORD.....] (Haosui)

Haosui leaped at me again. The aim of her sword is clear, she is aiming for my heart.

But still, I don't budge an inch from the spot.

Haosui had an expression of surprise for a moment but she immediately switches to determination. She puts more momentum to stab the sword into my heart.

The moment her sword touches me, it shatteres into pieces.

The thunder which resided inside the sword also flowed into my body, but I don't feel anything in particular.

Unn~ I didn't feel anything because I got struck several times with heavier thunder than this in the mountain.

Haosui expression collapsed, her spirit completely broke. She bursts into tears in front of me.

[.....*sob~* .....*sob~* .....WHY .....WHY CAN'T I WIN .....EVEN THOUGH I HAVE SO MUCH POWER IN MY HANDS NOW.....] (Haosui)

Haosui slowly approaches me. That figure is no longer a demon king but only a 14 years old girl.

[WHY..... WHY.....] (Haosui)

I noticed that Haosui was still wavering. That's the reason she didn't completely transformed even after swallowing the red ball until now.

There was something that's still fighting inside Haosui. I could see the green mist I saw before trying to push back the reddish mist surrounding her.

Perhaps, the green mist is dragon's magical power that Haosui originally had. It protected Haosui until now.

Despite being small in amount, because of the influence of transformation and red ball, it is still desperately resisting.

Maybe, deep inside her heart, Haosui herself is also thinking that this power is not the power she wanted.

[WHY.....] (Haosui)

Haosui's hitting my chest with her fist that have no power at all.

[WHY.....] (Haosui)

Haosui looks in my eyes with her face that's crumpled because of tears.

[HELP ME..........] (Haosui)

I gently catch Haosui's fist that she used to hit me. I smile to make her feel secure.

[Yeah, I will save you right now!!] (Wazu)

Together with those words, I hit Haosui's abdomen with my free hand. I make it a little stronger or it will be useless considering her status. Haosui shows an expression of agony because of the shock and throws up the red ball. I immediately take out the bottle with dragon tears.....

Eh.....? Haosui lost her consciousness after throwing up the red ball.

Like this, I can't make her drink the dragon tears. What should I do? While thinking that, the red ball that fell to the ground shattered into particles and disappeared.

The red-black magical power that's surrounding Haosui changes to green color, but it begins to leave Haosui's body little by little into the air.

Eh? Could it be it's dangerous? I think it's going to turn really bad if I leave her just as is!! Does this mean she is dying? Bad..... It's really bad.....!!

My hands are busy supporting her, there is no time, there is only one thing I can come up with.

First of all I apologize. I'm sorry!! There is no other way, please forgive me!! If it goes well, I'm prepared even if you are going to curse me.

Then I open the bottle. I hold the dragon tears inside my mouth and gently pull Haosui's body closer. I put my lips on hers, I open her mouth using my tongue and I forcibly pour the dragon tears inside her mouth to make her drink it.

I heard a small gulping sound and her throat also seems to have moved.

It seems I have successfully made her drink the dragon tears. I observing Haosui's condition while feeling relieved. The green magical power which had disappeared, steadily increases and returns to normal.

Haosui slowly opens her eyes. Her eyes are deep green and beautiful enough to make me feel getting sucked in. Those eyes gaze at me and she opens her little mouth.

[.....Thank you for helping me, my husband] (Haosui)

[.....Mmm?] (Wazu)

My mouth was blocked with a hot kiss from Haosui.
