Chapter 62: The Asura's Redemption

"Who are you? Why did you save me?" "Asura King" Kagutsuchi Hiroshi asked the three gods standing before him.

"We are friends of Seraphina Frostwind! We know that you are suffering from a severe injury that has caused you to lose the immense magical power that once made you destructive; therefore, we are here to protect you from any enemies seeking to harm you in your weakened state. Rest assured, with us here, no enemy can defeat you." Snow Sky-Dog, representing his two godly companions, replied to "Asura King" Kagutsuchi Hiroshi.

"Are you three gods friends of Seraphina Frostwind? Then the god who just represented the other two must be Snow Sky-Dog, a deity of the snow wolf and eternity, correct?" "Asura King" Kagutsuchi Hiroshi said, his right hand still placed over the wound in the center of his chest.

"Indeed, 'Asura King' Kagutsuchi Hiroshi, ruler of the Asura, you are correct! I am Snow Sky-Dog, the deity of the snow wolf and eternity. The god standing to my left is Kurogami Masayuki, God of Light. And the goddess with the beautiful appearance is Mizuchi Haruka, Goddess of Spring and Flowers." Snow Sky-Dog replied to "Asura King" Kagutsuchi Hiroshi, his eyes shining with the light of great hope.

"So, you must be Snow Sky-Dog, the handsome deity Seraphina Frostwind loves with all her sincere affection?" Despite the intense pain from his severe chest wound, "Asura King" Kagutsuchi Hiroshi still gazed directly into the beautiful eyes of Snow Sky-Dog.

Snow Sky-Dog looked embarrassed, turning to Mizuchi Haruka with a look of shame. "Asura King" Kagutsuchi Hiroshi noticed this and understood the answer. "Asura King" Kagutsuchi Hiroshi spoke slowly.

"Seraphina Frostwind is an incredibly adorable, beautiful, and virtuous girl. Snow Sky-Dog, I beg of you, treat her well. Please, do not hurt her or play with her pure and intense emotions!"

"'Asura King' Kagutsuchi Hiroshi, I promise to try not to harm both of the beautiful girls who love me, Seraphina Frostwind and Mizuchi Haruka! But let time answer this. Now, as those who have saved you from the clutches of your cowardly enemies, we ask you to return the magical artifact known as the 'Hand of Asura.' You have held onto this magical item for too long! This magical artifact does not belong to you; it belongs to the realm of the gods. Therefore, I hope you can return it to us. Currently, in the World of Youkai, there is a rebellion. They are preparing for a war against paradise by hunting for 8 magical artifacts with the most powerful magical power in all three worlds. We three gods bear the mission of thwarting their conspiracy. So, I earnestly hope you can help us fulfill our mission by returning to us the magical artifact known as the 'Hand of Asura' among the 8 magical artifacts we are trying to collect. It is a magical item that you unjustly possess." Snow Sky-Dog spoke frankly, his tone gentle but his reasoning razor-sharp.

"Asura King" Kagutsuchi Hiroshi smiled, handing the magical artifact that Snow Sky-Dog desired.

"Snow Sky-Dog, I return this magical artifact to the realm of the gods. I wish you all to protect the peace and maintain order in all three worlds!"

Snow Sky-Dog accepted the magical artifact from "Asura King" Kagutsuchi Hiroshi but handed it to Kurogami Masayuki.

"Elder brother, please take this magical artifact! In this mission, you have performed admirably! You have contributed all your efforts to this mission, so the 'Hand of Asura' must be kept by you. In this mission, you are the one who retrieves this magical artifact, not me! I will not take away your achievements and rewards. Please take it back to our master, Kurogami Masayuki!"

Kurogami Masayuki received the "Hand of Asura" from Snow Sky-Dog with reverence. He felt the heavy responsibility placed on his shoulders, but it was also clear that he could not do this alone.

"We have overcome many difficulties and dangers together, and now, we must continue to do so," Kurogami Masayuki said, his voice calm and confident. "This magical artifact is not only mine but ours, for everyone. We will use it to protect the world from the destruction of darkness and demons."

Mizuchi Haruka nodded in agreement, her eyes shining with hope and determination.

"We have fought together, and now we will protect together," she said, her voice like a gentle stream in the darkness of the battle.

Snow Sky-Dog also agreed.

"We are comrades, and our strength will reach its highest level when we cooperate," he said, his eyes reflecting determination and steadfastness. "Let us strive for peace and justice, and leave a beautiful mark on this world."

The three heroes looked at each other, united in purpose, ready to face any further challenges in their journey. They knew that the road ahead would not be easy, but with their unity and determination, they would overcome all difficulties and protect the world from the threat of demons.

"Now, you three gods, please leave here. I am very grateful for your protection, but now you need to return to where you came from. Rest assured, I no longer need your protection! My terrifying power is about to return to me! Please convey my regards to Seraphina Frostwind. As for you, Snow Sky-Dog, you must make the most important decision of your life! Seraphina Frostwind and Mizuchi Haruka, you can only choose one woman. Now, I need some privacy. Please return to report the victory to your master and let me rest alone here in peace!" "Asura King" Kagutsuchi Hiroshi spoke with a decisive and authoritative tone.

The three gods accepted the words from "Asura King" Kagutsuchi Hiroshi and left the place, but they couldn't help but feel a lingering worry in their hearts. They knew that even if Kagutsuchi Hiroshi's wound were to heal, their journey was not yet over. All challenges and dangers still awaited them ahead, and they had to be prepared for any possibility.

Meanwhile, "Asura King" Kagutsuchi Hiroshi sat alone, embracing the wound in peaceful solitude after the three gods had left. In his heart, concerns about Seraphina Frostwind and Mizuchi Haruka still lingered, along with thoughts of the battle against the rebellious youkai and the powerful magical artifacts they were seeking.

But amidst the anxious thoughts, there was also a brilliant ray of hope. Kagutsuchi Hiroshi believed that his power would return and that he would be ready to face any challenge. He was confident that, under the protection of the three gods and his strength, he would protect those he loved and maintain peace in all three worlds.

Kagutsuchi Hiroshi looked up at the sky, where the flame of hope still shone brightly. His journey and that of his comrades were not over yet, and he was determined to face any challenge, to create a brighter future for all.
