chapter thirty one

The battle between Korak and Zamiel raged on, their magical energies locked in a struggle that seemed to have no end. They clashed and exchanged blows, their forms blurring as they vanished and reappeared in a dizzying display of speed and power.

Just when it seemed that the fight would never cease, Korak suddenly leapt into the air, soaring over the edge of a massive bridge that spanned a vast expanse of water. The ocean sparkled in the moonlight, its waves crashing against the bridge's supports as Korak plunged into its depths.

Zamiel stood at the edge of the bridge, his chest heaving with exertion as he gazed out over the water. He raised a hand, his fingers weaving a intricate pattern in the air. The water beneath him began to churn and foam, great sections of it erupting into the air as if manipulated by an invisible force.

As the water continued to dance and writhe, zamiel leapt into its midst, his form disappearing beneath the waves. But he didn't sink; instead, he began to run across the surface of the water, his feet pounding out a rhythmic beat as he chased after Korak.

The distance between them was great, but Zamiel's eyes were fixed intently on his quarry. He could see Korak's form fleeing across the water, the demon's dark magic trailing behind him like a cloak. Samuel's own magic surged through him, propelling him forward with incredible speed and agility.

As he ran, the water around him began to take on a life of its own, great waves and whirlpools erupting from the surface as if to aid zamiel in his pursuit. The ocean itself seemed to be rising up against Korak, determined to prevent the demon from escaping...

Zamiel finally closed the distance between himself and Korak, his hands grasping for the demon's throat. Korak, anticipating the attack, spun around, his eyes blazing with fury. The two demons clashed, their bodies meeting in a flurry of punches and kicks.

The battle raged on, the two demons fighting on the surface of the water. Waves crashed against them, threatening to drag them under, but they stood firm, their magical energies locked in a struggle that seemed to shake the very foundations of the ocean.

The fight was intense, the two demons exchanging blows with incredible speed and ferocity. Zamio's fists flew towards Korak's face, but the demon dodged and weaved, his own counterattacks sending Zamiel stumbling backward.

But Zamiel refused to yield. With a fierce cry, he launched himself at Korak, their bodies meeting in a bone-jarring crash. The two demons stumbled, their forms blurring as they fought on.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Zamiel managed to land a decisive blow. Korak's eyes went wide, his body stumbling backward as Zamiel's fist connected with his jaw. The demon's form went limp, his body crashing into the water with a resounding splash.

But even as Zamiel stood over him, victorious, Korak's body began to stir. The demon's eyes flickered open, a malevolent glint burning within them. With a snarl, Korak vanished, escaping into the depths of the ocean.

This time, Zamiel let him go. He stood there, his chest heaving with exertion, and watched as Korak disappeared into the darkness.

As Simon stepped off the plane at the American airport, he was greeted by a warm breeze that carried the scent of freedom and opportunity. He took a deep breath, feeling invigorated by the fresh air.

But despite the excitement of being in a new country, Simon's heart felt a pang of loneliness. His Chinese girlfriend, had been unable to accompany him on the trip, due to some unexpected work commitments. Simon missed her already, and couldn't wait to share his American adventures with her over video calls.

"Excuse me, sir?"

The man's eyes were warm and friendly, and Simon felt a sense of relief wash over him. and it seemed that his driver had arrived right on schedule.

"Thanks so much," Simon said, smiling.

Simon picked up the phone and dialed a familiar number. His mother, Clara, answered on the first ring.

"Hey, Mom. I'm in America now," Simon said, settling back into the plush seat.

"I'm so glad you arrived safely, sweetie," Clara replied, her voice warm and soothing. "Did you see the driver I sent for you?"

"Yeah, I saw him. Thanks, Mom," Simon said, smiling.

"It's okay, we are waiting for your arrival,clara reminded him.

"Alright!" Simon said, ending the call.

He gazed out the window as the city rolled by, feeling a sense of nostalgia wash over him. He was back in America, the place he once called home. But he knew he wouldn't be staying for long. He had a life in China now, a life he had built with lingxi. He would return to her soon, but for now, he was content to simply enjoy the view...
