Miko was face to face with Jin and Shòuxíng. He could clearly sense the power dwelling inside them coming out at full force.

“Now I can get serious.”

Shòuxíng made his move first. He popped up in front of Miko but didn’t attack him. He only looked down on him with beastly eyes. Jin floated off the ground and appeared in front of the two of them. He too glared at Miko.

“What? Could it be that I pissed you two off too much?”

A thunderous sound rang out. Shòuxíng threw a punch and Miko caught it with his hand. However, his arm burst open and blood gushed out of it. Shòuxing grinned. Miko looked at his bust-up arm and smiled.

“Payback?”

“Payback.”

Jin and Shòu punched Miko simultaneously and his body was blown away with some much force that the earth lifted up in waves when he passed over it. He crashed through several buildings and his body bounced off the ground dozens of times before he finally stopped. He laid out on the ground with his whole body broken and in his human form.

“I could literally feel the anger behind those punches.”

He sprung to his feet.

“So naturally you’d be coming for more.”

Two fists appeared in front of his face. He had no chance of avoiding them. They connected and he was blasted away with a bloody face. Jin and Shòuxíng chased after him but stopped when they saw that they were working together.

“Get lost. I’m going to kill him.”

Shòuxíng said.

“You just want to kill him because you’re feeling emo. I have legitimate reasons to end him.”

Jin clapped back.

“I’ll kill you after I kill him, so wait your turn.”

Shòuxíng moved forward but had to stop to avoid being shot by a gray beam. He saw the beam hit a mountain of rubble and vaporized it into nothingness. He looked back at Jin with a sharp glare.

“It seems that you want to die first, False God.”

“You borrow some power and forgot your place. Come at me, Lizard. I’ll make boots outta you.”

The two glared at each other for a bit before their body flickered. A large explosion immediately erupted and shook the city. Meanwhile, Miko laid out on the ground again. He sat up and sighed.

“I’m glad that they’re finally giving it their all and everything but it seems like the power boost caused their egos to blow up too. I mean, if you teamed up you would’ve had a chance to kill me….Well, they wouldn’t but you see my point.”

“You’re the only person I think would complain in a situation like this.”

Tia appeared beside him and said.

“So, what’s the plan now?”

Miko stood up.

“Fighting them alone will be tough. Besides, I think they’re itching for a go.”

Ishma and Regis appeared at his side.

“So which one of you is it gonna be?”

“Me! I’ve been dying to test that technique you mentioned!”

Ishma was the first to speak up.

“You’ve been using your Proxy abilities a bit too much so I think you should use her abilities for the time being. It will allow me time to build up back the power that you’ve used.”

Regis said.

“Then it’s decided. We’ll go with Ishma.”

“Hell yeah!”

Ishma transformed into her sword and appeared in Miko’s hand. Miko held both ends of the sword in front of him. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. His body pulsated like a beating heart and he slowly opened his eyelids to reveal a pair of green eyes.

“Demon Art: Soul Fusion!”

Green flames engulfed Ishma. The flames spread to Miko and completely engulfed him until you couldn’t make out his silhouette. The flames burned brightly for nearly a minute before disappearing. A new figure appeared. He was wearing a black sleeveless shirt with a green crow on it. Black pants and green black boots. His green hair stretched down his back and had black streaks in it and huge green crow wings on his back.

“Oh, it really worked.”

Tia circled around him with a curious gaze.

“I can’t believe you actually found a way to bypass Ajax’s sealing technique to fuse with Ishma.”

He looked at his hand and clenched his fist before smiling.

“Hell yeah! I finally got a flesh and blood body again!”

The voice that came out of his mouth sounded like Miko and Ishma were talking simultaneously.

“Wait….Can’t I finally sleep with countless women now? I mean I have the tool for it.”

“Not good. Ishma’s soul is dominating.”

Regis sighed.

“Stop messing around, Ishma. This isn’t the reason why I fused with you.”

Miko rest his sword on his shoulder and started walking.

“We can use your abilities in this form, right? So that’s what I’m going to do.”

He used his wings to rise off the ground.

“Those two are pretty strong and this is the first time using this technique. Are you sure it’s enough?”

Miko nodded to Tia’s question.

“A fusion with Luficifer’s Daughter and Satan? How can we lose?”

Miko took to the skies and head straight for his opponents.

“I don’t think that they’ll lose, Mama.”

Regis looked in the direction Miko flew off.

“If anything, I wonder if they’ll be able to stop themselves from destroy everything.”

Meanwhile, Jin and Shòu were going at it. Jin had mini eclipses around him firing beams at Shòuxíng who maneuvered through the sky to avoid them. Shòu opened his mouth and fired golden flames. The flames covered the sky as they rushed towards Jin. Jin formed a gray orb in his hand and threw it at the flames. The orb pulled the flames towards it and sucked them all up like a black hole.

“Tsk.”

Shòuxíng clicked his tongue and accelerated with a sonic boom. Jin snapped his fingers and a wall of gray aura appeared in front of him. Shòu punched the wall and the air and earth shook as it shattered to pieces. Jin attacked him with a palm strike and he blocked it with his arm. Gray static spread through the sky hitting Shòuxíng. His arm skin started peeling off before his eyes. He distanced himself and fired a blast of golden energy at Jin. Jin swung his hand in front of him and cut the blast in two. Shòuxíng’s attack hit the ground and caused explosions that stretched for nearly a mile.

(That Ecliptic power of his isn’t a joke if it can destroy my skin that’s been harden to a godly level!)

Shòu’s arm was covered by a gold light and his arm regenerated in an instant. Jin looked at the destruction caused by Shòuxíng’s attack and frowned.

(That much firepower from a casual attack?)

He looked back at Shòuxíng with a glare.

“He must die before he becomes too powerful.”

He turned into a gray beam and appeared in front of Shòuxíng pointing his palm in his face. Shòu’s eyes widen as gray light gathered in Jin’s palm. A gray beam hit him and blast him out of the air

. A huge explosion erupted and shook the city. Smoke covered the ground but Jin could see a golden sparkle in it. The smoke faded and he saw Shòu hiding being a golden shield. Jin clicked his tongue.

“He was never one to use his head and now he’s able to think fast? What gives?”

He lifted his hand overhead.

“I’ve had enough.”

An eclipse ten times his size appeared above him.

“I’m gonna erase you from this world. Your anger, your sorrows, your regrets, everything will be swallowed by this eclipse.”

“Well, aren’t you a good friend?”

A green light flashed before his eyes. Heat invaded his chest followed by mind-numbing pain. He looked down and saw green flames coming out of a long cut across his chest. He turned and glared at the person floating not too far from him.

“You…Are you Miko?”

“You’re right and you’re wrong. I’m the fusion of the Great Ishmavael and Miko, the Crow King!”

He flipped Jin off with a smirk.

“Nice to meet ya!”

“Crow King? What a stupid name.”

Miko’s eyes twitched.

“Alright. I’m killing you first.”

“Haha!”

Jin’s body flickered and he appeared in front of Miko. He flung the eclipse at him.

“Let’s see who kills who!”

The eclipse swallowed Miko and then hit the ground.

*BOOOM!*

A devastating explosion spread through the city destroying nearly half of it. When the explosion faded, an abyssal crater was left behind. Shòu’s eyes almost fell out of his head after witnessing the destruction Jin caused.

“I can see why the Eclipse Element is held in such high regard.”

“I’m honored.”

Shòu spun around and fired a golden blast. An eclipse appeared in front of Jin and devoured it. His body flickered and he appeared thrusting a sword through Shòuxíng’s chest.

“Return to ash!”

“Like I’ll just die like that!”

Red liquid oozed out of Shòu’s chest and caused the sword to dissolve. Shòu turned into a puddle of red liquid that soon turned into smoke.

“A clone made of Poison?!”

Shòuxíng fell from the sky and punched Jin into the ground causing the earth to burst open. Or that’s what he thought.

“Tsk. He turned into light and moved out of the way.”

He stood up and looked at Jin who was standing not too far away from him.

“You’re really getting on my nerves.”

“Funny. I was thinking the same thing about you two.”

Miko popped up between the two of them with green flames gathering around his sword.

“Ishmavael Original…”

He disappeared and rings of green flames crossed overlapped across Jin and Shòu’s torso. Their blood sprayed out the X-shaped cuts on their chest and their body twitched from pain. Miko reappeared some distance from them with blood evaporating off his sword.

“Scorching Crow Dance.”

“Y-You…!”

Jin turned around and glared at Miko. His glare quickly softened and he furrowed his brows.

“I can’t heal myself?”

Shòuxing spoke the same thing he was thinking.

“You two have some interesting abilities.”

Miko rested his sword on his shoulder.

“Especially you, Jin. I can see why Edward praised you so much. That power you used on me seems extremely dangerous. If I was any slower it might have killed me.”

He smirked.

“An emphasis on the might.”

“You cocky little…”

“Cocky? Hahahaha!”

He pointed his sword at the two of them.

“I told you already. I only seem cocky because you can’t defeat me.”

The two of them rushed at Miko at the same time.

“You should’ve done this from the start.”

His sword changed it to a naginata and green static gathered around him.

“Ishmavael Original….”

He disappeared with a sonic boom. Jin and Shòuxíng saw a flash of green in front of them and a roaring sound reached their ears. They were blasted away with a thunderclap. The ground lifted up, rolled, and broke apart. The buildings were blown away without putting up a fight. Miko stood in a thrusting position with endless destruction in front of him.

“Green Demolition.”

Jin and Shòuxíng laid under mountains of rubble. Their bodies were numb and it was like their body was made of lead.

(What the hell?!)

Shòuxing clenched his teeth.

(I’m finally using everything I have and yet…!)

Jin gritted his teeth.

“Hm?”

Miko looked down on the ground and saw the pebbles at his feet trembling. He smirked and clenched his weapon tightly.

“Things are about to get fun.”

The mountains of debris were blown away. The air trembled as Jin and Shòuxíng slowly made their way to their common enemy.

“Hey, Freak. I promise that I’ll kill you in the future.”

“I’ll be sure to break that face of yours, Wannabe God.”

Their eyes became bloodshot as they roared at the top of their lungs.

“But first, let’s kill this fucker!”

They blasted off the ground blew away everything behind them. Static gathered around Miko. He turned into a bolt of lightning and went to meet his opponents’ charge. He appeared in front of them thrusting his weapon. Shòu clashed with the thrust with a punch. As if thunder rumbled in the sky, the entire city shook. Gray flames danced in Jin’s palms. He fired the flames at Miko and flooded the area with them. Miko emerged from the flames spinning his weapon. He placed it in front of him and blocked a palm strike from Shòuxíng. Thunderous sounds reverberated through the city once again.

Miko was pushed back and Shòuxíng chased after him with his body leaking gold and red auras.

“Mad Rush!”

Shòuxing threw a series of attacks like kicks and punches. Miko smirked and threw his weapon in the air. He started throwing punches and kicks of his own. Explosive sounds rang out from their clash.

“Hahaha!”

Miko laughed as Shòuxíng started stumbling back. He flew back and avoided dozens of light weapons that Jin fired at him.

“Hm?”

Miko saw one of the weapons turned into Jin himself who thrust out his hand and grabbed his face.

“Ecliptic Thunder!”

*BOOOM!*

Miko was hit by a tyrannical burst of lightning which rose into the air like a pillar while electrocuting him.

“Hahahaha!”

A chill ran down Jin’s spine when Miko started laughing while getting electrocuted.

“This is it! This is the thrill I’ve been missing!”

Jin’s eyes widened when he saw a deranged look in Miko’s eyes.

“Be able to bleed again! A fight to the death! There’s nothing that gets my blood boiling like this!”

Miko grabbed Jin’s face and slammed him into the ground. Shòuxing rushed at Miko and punt him in the side to force him off Jin. Miko quickly got to his feet. He opened his hand and caught his naginata that fell from the sky. He threw it at Shòuxíng who moved out of the way to avoid it. Shòuxing’s eyes widened when the naginata transformed into Miko. Miko kicked him in the face and sent him flying. He stooped down and evaded Jin’s sneak attack. He spun around and slammed his fist in his stomach. The sound of Jin’s ribs breaking reached his ears. He stood up and sent him flying with an uppercut.

*BOOM!*

An explosion of golden flames devoured him where he stood. Shòuxing rushed towards that explosion taking a deep breath.

“Avarice Breath!”

Red gas sprayed out of his mouth and mixed with the explosion. The ground became eroded and rocks started melting.

“Caw!”

A crow’s cry came from the explosion. A green light flew out of it. Shòuxing formed a golden barrier in front of him. The light shattered the barrier and pierced into him. He stumbled and looked at the naginata that was lodged into his flesh. A hand grabbed it before he could. He lifted his head and Miko stood in front of him. He smiled.

“Crow Of Restriction.”

A green crow appeared on Shòuxíng’s chest. A gigantic gray beam blasted Miko away. Jin appeared in front of Shòuxíng.

“Why are you just standing around?! Kill him!”

“…..I can’t sense Behemoth.”

“What?”

“Crow Of Restraint.”

Miko walked towards them.

“It’s a move that can seal demonic energy. Behemoth’s power was making you stand back up every time you were knocked down, so I sealed his power for the time being.”

“Seal? You sealed off a great demon’s power?”

“Great Demon? Only a fraction of his power resides in that body. It’s nothing for the spawn of Lucifer to seal it.”

Miko stretched his hand out and the naginata flew back into his grasp.

“I wanted to enjoy this a bit more but I sense that my next patient is on her way. So I’ll have to end this battle here and start our therapy session.”

“Therapy?”

Jin had a bad feeling. He could tell that now was the time to push beyond his limitations.

“Ecliptic Thunder!”

Gray static started dancing around him.

“Ecliptic Flame!”

Gray flames started dancing with the static.

“Ecliptic Thunder Flame!”

“Oh? Is this your last stand. It’s good but because you refused to accept your power you’ve wasted its potential.”

Miko looked at Shòuxing who was still shocked by his power being sealed away.

“This goes for you too, Shòu. If you had trained your abilities properly then this defeat would’ve been avoided.”

Miko took a deep breath.

“Well, you’ll regret it later. After I kick your asses!”

Jin rushed at Miko with gray flames and static dancing around him. Shòuxing snapped out of his daze after seeing him act. He gathered all of the power he could and followed his lead. Miko’s naginata returned to its katana form.

“Ishma, I’m taking full control.”

A gray hawk appeared behind Jin and a golden beast appeared behind Shòuxíng.

“Hah~.”

Miko took a deep breath. He sheathed his sword and all emotions faded from his face.

“Ohhh!”

The heavens and earth trembled as the gray hawk and the golden beast approached.

“Hybrid Sword Style:….”

A black dragon emerging from a blood moon appeared behind him.

“Die, Miko!”

Miko used his thumb to slightly push the sword out of the sheath. He took a step forward and vanished. A second later the black dragon emerged from the blood moon and devoured the hawk and beast. The dragon vanished and Miko appeared with his sword extended. Jin and Shòuxíng appeared frozen like statues.

“Lunar Black Dragon.”

*BOOOM!*

A thunderous sound rang out and rocked the city. A large crater opened up under Jin and Shòuxíng. They returned to their original forms and fell to their knees. They feel over with their eyes rolled to the back of their skulls and laid motionlessly on the ground. Miko sheathed his sword and turned towards them.

“Looks like the I’m is the victor. Oh, don’t worry. I used the blunt side of my sword.”
