Chapter 188: The Cries of a Demoness

Empress Lihua landed the attack bu sending her dragon fire from her wings towards Tai and his troop. The other troops of different Realms were way behind Tai.

"The Empress turned against us, attack here, don't spare her," Tai shouted to his people. But many had falled dead, burnt alive and hence the rest of the troops were afraid to attack back. 

Prince Ash stopped going forward and stopped leading his troops to the war. "I don't believe in the cause of this war, neither do I want my people to die a meaningless death," he said and turned around and met his General and his soldiers. "Yes our No? Do you want to go to this meaningless war?" 

"No," his general and the people said. 

Prince Ash was proud. "Let's leave," and the troops agreed with him. But before they returned they were captured and disappeared. Prince Ash could not tell what was happening. When he turned around, it looked like he was inside some kind of large cell, a dark cave like place. He tried to move around nut there was a barrier set up around him and his people. "Where is this place?" Prince Ash asked. There were guards in the place outside the barrier.

"This is to keep the warriors of heaven safe from the war set up by the Water Princess, our to be Demon Queen," one said and left. 

"I knew it," Prince Ash said and smiled. And one by one, memebers and soldiers from other Realms were also abducted and kept safe in different halls inside the string demon barriers warriors had never experienced. They were all told the same about keeping safe. And everyone relaxed since Water Realm was involved.

"I don't trust it," Beast King said.

But Third Prince stopped him. "Father," he called. "Why are you so blindly faithful to a cruel king? Can you not see King Aenon and his people? They are doing everything for the sake of all the Realms to exist in the realm. Will I have survived if not for him? If not for Aqua? And what did you do to her?" Please come back to your senses and try to be grateful," he said and stopped talking. Beast King did not say a word. He felt insulted. Hence he remained quiet. 

Everything was going according to the plan Demon King and Water King made. 

At that time, someone unexpected appeared. A person Aqua sent people to search and capture but tremendously failed. 

"No," Aqua said. She came down and stood opposite her.

"Let's fight for real this time Aqua," Volca said. 

"Don't do it, you are manipulated," 

"Am I? Oh dear, how come did i not know that?" Volca laughed out loud. Volca extended her arms and sent out her powers to tie up Aqua. But Aqua dodged them and moved away. She drew her sword out and decided to bring Volca back to her sense. Though they have the rotten history and a sad friendship, Aaua could not bring up herself to give up on her old friend. 

"Listen to me Volca," Aqua said. "You will regret this," Aqua kept reminding her. "Stop fighting and let me help you, you will be saved, and taken out of the battle here, don't fight for that useless man, he is a criminal, he killed people, he is cruel," 

"He is my father," Volca shouted back. "I don't have a family, you do, what do you know? You always had everything, then you stole my love from me, you knew, you knew I loved him, but why did you do this behind my back? Why did you not tell me?" Volca asked back. "Wae? Waeeee?" She said screamed her and swung her purple sword. She ran towards Aqua and tried to stab her. But Aqua moved away and attacked back. They began to Duel. Aqua asked everyone to stay out of the fight with Volca to save Volca. While Emperor Tai fought with Water and Demon King simultaneously. His men began to attack while a few ran away. Demon army fought with troops while King Huo asked the troops of the Water Realm to stand by and not involve to keep everything clean. Huo also asked Water King to stop fighting. 

"It is between me and him," Huo said. The thousands of years of hatred boiled in the heart of Demon King. A step father who raped his mother, forced into marriage and broke his promise attempting to kill her son, and forever kept his wife in the shadow and used her powers to survive. A mad king who killed his people, who manipulated his people, who annihilated the whole Phoenix tribe, who attempted to wipe out the whole Water Realm and take control and one who accepted demonic path from the satan to remain in the throne of heaven. In short, a man who had no right to live.

Huo had no interest in sparing Tai's life. Instead he wanted people to see his true demonic nature. And as expected Tai took his powers out. Those who remained in the battle field were shocked to see their Emperor turning into a Demon. A black bird monster instead of the Phoenix. His supporters stood still, stopped fighting and dropped their weapons. 

Demon King smiled. Huo used his powers to make sure that all the people from different Realms he and Aqua saved and locked inside the barriers see these events. 

Every single Realm was shocked to see it. "What?" Beast King could not believe his eyes. Prince Ash smirked and sat peacefully. 

"Huo always had the knack to bring out the truth to the light," he told his people. Everyone agreed with him.

"You bastard, I will kill you today," shouted Emperor Tai and flew towards Huo. But he was careless. What he saw was not Huo'er's real form but just the dupe. It disappeared into think air. When Tai turned around, Huo who was there standing before him. With a smirk. 

"Now it ends," he said and plunged his soul sword into Tai's heart. 

"Noooo..." someone shouted from the back.
