With his body still paralyzed by light magic took looks on as he tries to figure out who had saved him from certain death.
"Sorry to keep you guys waiting," remarked the figure in front of him. The person turns to Tyrook and to his surprise it was Kiyoshi who had finally awakened from the previous battle.
"What took you so long kiddo? Thought I had to do everything myself." Laughed Tyrook as sighed in relief. From the river bank, Lilly looks down and realizes that the man that saved Tyrook is Kiyoshi as he is no longer laying on her lap.
Back on the battlefield, Tyrook explains that the mysterious enemy appeared at Saber and was holding him off until she was defeated. Kiyoshi nods his head and asked the mysterious man for a brief second before kicking the man to the other side of the river as he and Tyrook walk by the river bank to meet Lilly.
On the riverbank, Kiyoshi rubs his hand in Lilly's hair before proceeding into the forest to attend to Saber. There he finds his horse strung out and laying on the ground. Kiyoshi gently kisses Saber on her nose, telling her what a good girl she is and that he will finish the rest.
Back on the riverbank, Kiyoshi withdraws Lilly, Tyrook, and Kivuli back into the sword as he sees the mysterious man approaching.
"I am finishing this now!" Declares Kiyoshi as both Lilly and Tyrook warn him to be careful as the opponent in front of them is extremely strong. At the center of the river, both men stand centimeters away from each other as they both prepare to finish the fight. The two men stared at each other with murderous intent. As they could feel each other's breath on their necks. The veins on their veins raising on their necks and head as their rages build up for each other.
"Before we fight wouldn't you tell me your name?" Asked Kiyoshi as he grips his sword tightly as he awaits a response.
"No" replied the mysterious man before socking Kiyoshi in the face with a left-handed punch. Sending Kiyoshi hurling into the river. With quick reflexes and determination to win, Kiyoshi returns the favor with a devastating kick to the jaw which sent the mysterious man flying into the cliffs once more. With a burst of speed, Kiyoshi closed the gap between him and his opponent, causing the man to jump back to avoid Kiyoshi's sword swings.
With their distance increasing, Kiyoshi used his demonic aura to breathe a massive wave of flames toward the mysterious man, causing him to jump away from Kiyoshi's attack. With rage building inside Kiyoshi chased after the mysterious man as he tries to escape up the cliff.
With a violent clash of their swords, the battle continues. Shockwaves rock the ground the two determined combatants clash repeatedly at each other awaiting a moment for the other to make a mistake for them to turn the tide of battle in their favor. Exhausted the two men stand face to face trying to force themselves into a fighting state in an attempt to end the fight quickly. With his second wind, the mysterious man claps his hands together and chanted and mysterious chant in an unknown language to the surprise of Kiyoshi.
Suddenly four portals of light appeared next to the man and out of them four dragons made of light came out. The dragons looked like Chinese dragons of stories long forgotten just their bodies were made of pure light.
Feeling overwhelmed Kiyoshi looks on as the mysterious man continues his attack.
"With these, you are finished! My elemental light dragons with destroy you once and for all demon." Proclaimed the man as the dragons closed in on Kiyoshi preparing to attack. The dragons attack and each releases an attack based on an element. With one attacking with the element of fire, one with lighting, one with water, and the last with wind.
With his life on the line, Kiyoshi dodges and evades the attacks because even though they are element attacks they are infused with light magic with could be deadly if Kiyoshi makes a mistake. As the dragons circle Kiyoshi and attack him from all angles, the mysterious man stays away from the battle with his hands still together.
Kiyoshi wonders why the man hasn't joined the battle as it should be easier to finish Kiyoshi off since he defends himself against the dragons. Kiyoshi quickly realized that the only explanation is that he can't release his hands from that position otherwise the dragons will come back where they came from.
Timing the dragons' attack, Kiyoshi quickly took advance of a split-second opening, and with all the energy in his body accelerate to his limit. And before the mysterious man could counter Kiyoshi it was too late Kiyoshi was already face to-face with him. With a swing of his sword, Kiyoshi used his Qiān dāo wàn guǎ. Which is an attack that cuts the victim over a thousand times synchronically within seconds. In shock, the mysterious man stood frozen by Kiyoshi's attack.
Kivuli shouted at Kiyoshi to finish the man off to which Kiyoshi replied I know. And without delay, Kiyoshi kicked the man up into the air and then into the nearby cliffs. With a deep breath, Kiyoshi release a massive fireball engulfing the area in which the mysterious man was in flames as pieces of the cliff fall into the waters below. With no sign of the mysterious man, Kiyoshi breathes a heavy sigh of relief as he falls to his knees.
"Who was that man?" asked Kiyoshi as he tried to catch himself.
"I don't know but let's move on before move like him shows up. It is bad enough we have the peace markers around now we have to deal with this shit," replied Kivuli.
"I agree." Proclaimed Kiyoshi as she dragged himself back up to his feet before passing out. Tyrook appears from the sword and throws Kiyoshi over his shoulder. Next to him, Lilly proclaims that Kiyoshi deserves this one to which Tyrook nods his head as the two continue on to Kiyoshi's next mission destination with Kiyoshi fast asleep.
