THE LIBERATED FLAME

Kimitsuki still was not an expert at battle, obviously her attempts to fool Liu and possibly get in some good hits and such were not completely successful. Sure, she landed a few hits here and there, her kick indeed landing quite solidly; but Liu laughed as Kimitsuki's flame struck and started to engulf the Devil. Because of this, Kimitsuki retracted her foot rather quickly, attempting to avoid as much damage as possible; her foot and ankle still getting a little scorched despite her reaction timing. Afterwards, came their collide when Kimitsuki attempted to distract Liu from her attack from the side; with the two punching each other and obliterating most of the area around them.

Kimitsuki kept her fist against Liu's face as her legs trembled slightly; she wasn't exactly the strongest demon, but she also wasn't one to simply just give up when a hard problem literally socked her in the jaw. It's why Kimitsuki laughed a tiny bit after their collide, a small grin on her face about the same time as Liu grinned at the Fire demon. However, Kimitsuki's grin was wiped off of her face when Liu shoved the girl to the ground and caused the ground below them to basically shatter the ground beneath them and cause the earth to shake. Not only that, but, Liu knocked the air out of Kimitsuki; definitely harming her body now.

The Danava soon coughed up a bit of blood to her side; her chest heaving heavily as Liu loomed over her. Liu was still doubtful about whether Kimitsuki was strong enough to get close to her heart. Maybe... Maybe it wasn't possible for her. For a few moments, Kimitsuki simply stared at the demon above her; unsure of what to do. However, she soon started to push back at Liu; her dislocated right arm even moving slightly as she started to push against the Devil above her.

"You... You can doubt me as much as you wish, Liu. But I will never doubt what I know; and what I know is that even if I don't have the strength to push back against your rejections, I will keep pushing back until I DO!"

Kimitsuki growled up at Liu as Kimitsuki's body burst with flame, growing in heat steadily as the amount of fire that she summoned started to cover herself, Liu, and the even the section of the beach they were fighting on. Kimitsuki was not going to give up, she was going to keep pushing until her strength was enough to push back Liu's rejections.

The girl roared as a gout of flame erupted from her mouth at the Devil above her; her legs curling under the woman's stomach. Kimitsuki aimed to plant her feet against the devil's stomach and then kick, or at least push hard, to force Liu off of her. Afterwards, even if she didn't push Liu off of her, she would wrap Liu in her flames, fire likely still erupting from her mouth even if the woman was no longer above her. Eventually, she coughed up blood once more, along with some fire, the Danava staring at Liu as she would continually produce flame in the area around him and on herself.

"I will never stop pushing back against your rejections until I have the strength; until I am past your rejections. I won't give up, I will never give up Liu... You can have your doubts, but I will keep pushing and pushing until I can liberate you of those doubts..."

Kimitsuki's eyes burned with a fire hotter than the sun as she looked at Liu; staring at her love. She was not going to give up, she was never going to give up. So, Liu would have to try harder if she wished for Kimitsuki to give up; because nothing would keep Kimitsuki from getting stronger. Nothing would keep the Danava of Fire, the Liberated Flame, from getting close to the one she loved. Kimitsuki was gonna make sure Liu wouldn't reject her anymore.

Sparks of bio-electricity started to surge and swell across the vicinity for many hundreds of meters as the two waves of demonic energy clashed with one another. They scorched the earth itself in this crimson lightning as the skies soon started to turn scarlet and amber with fire as thunderous clouds roared inward from the fiery glow of both Kimitsuki and Liu now beginning to fight head to head with one another. It caused the devilish blood within the liberator to begin to spiral out of control as she let out a chortle of jovial laughter at the sight unfolding before her eyes.

"Let's see more of that backbone of yours then. Show me you are more than just talk! I'm more than curious to see this."

This foul devil then began to lick her lips in anticipation for whatever to come next as steam started to ooze forth from the mouth of the hell creature. Of course, she soon got what she wanted following The Danava Of Flames pressing both of her feet against the stomach of Liu as she coughed up a bit of spit/blood from the impact of the kick. It left its mark in the way of her feeling the intensity of the blow as the supersonic force of the blow caused an eruption of gust to swell upwards which otherwise blew away all the falling debris from The Liberating Devil's prior attack from hitting them both.

"So ya can fight back...? Show me that ain't a fluke."

And with that, Liu spat out the blood from her mouth, let loose a monstrous roar which caused the earth to quiver once more in fear and unleashed an explosion of blinding stellar white light upon the likes of Kimitsuki. In this way, she sought to have both of their explosive attacks collide against one another in order to vaporize everything for the next half mile in all directions. All that would be left in this overwhelming birth of light would be smoke, cinders, fires and burnt earth as nothing was left in the wake of their clash of powers.

As the smoke began to clear, however, The Devil was already prepped and able to keep this fight of wills going straight into the pits of hell itself. Since despite the burns, cuts, scrapes, and blood leaking from her mouth and stomach, Liu was seen charging like a bolt of lightning ready to smite her prey with one resounding kick. In this moment of daunting speed, each of her legs was consumed in a bright flare of blood red energy when she sought to smash her feet straight into the gut of Kimitsuki to knock the wind out of her.

Though -- Kimitsuki would soon learn this wasn't a one-shot attack.

If Liu were able to land that one kick in, then her body would kick into overdrive delivering thousands of damaging kicks to cement her back into the earth with a thunderous physical assault which could cut through entire mountains and down into the depths of the planet itself. It may cause Kimitsuki to have her body's defenses further ripped away, blood to begin spewing like mad, her head to begin spinning and multiple portions of her bones in her body to start cracking or perhaps breaking from how many spots she targeted. As Liu sought to smash these supersonic hits into her chest, face, throat, back, sides and wherever she was unguarded to get this blitz wave of attacks in as the whole vicinity around them was now deafened with explosion after explosion of supersonic kicks.

This assault was immense enough to even cause the legs of Liu to begin spouting open with blood as she felt her ankles, feet, and legs throbbing; but it was fine as she was expressing her own violent discontent as her tainted skin loathed the feeling of someone trying to love it. The depths of Liu's ego were drenched in a myriad of different voices, and the blood of Míngjiè Zìyóu was less than satisfied with this meek display of power she was given. So she was testing her subconsciously to otherwise see what kind of demon she was dealing with when it came to testing the heart and will of Kimitsuki.

"You really have no idea what you are getting yourself into trying to be my tool, but let's see what else you can do."

The voice of Liu had changed, as there was a more gruff tone to her voice as her facial express grew more rigid and stern. All The Devil was interested in at this point was to see if her partner had any type of response to the savagery being unleashed; as she'd proceed to continue onward unless otherwise stopped.

THE LIBERATED FLAME

Artist: JubyPhonic - Song: Wildfire (Cover)

Kimitsuki was rather surprised to see that her actually did damage and truly hit; Liu's blood likely splattering onto the demon that was starting to burn like the sun. Of course, Kimitsuki would keep pushing and pushing against Liu; now unable to simply give up. Not because of what she said. Well, not completely, but more because of the fact that she would never give up on her love for Liu; even if her tainted skin, her Dagi Tvaca, would forever hate her for it. She didn't care; she wanted to love her liberator and wanted the devil to love Kimitsuki. It was strange that a liberator needed liberating from herself; but, even Kimitsuki herself needed such liberation still. Not even the recently liberated Danava of fire was free from some sort of enslavement.

Of course, when Liu seemed to be going at it once more, Kimitsuki had to brace herself, enduring the explosion made from fire and crackling energy; the woman grabbing her right arm and waited for a good opportunity. She wasn't going to be able to fight with only one arm; at least not effectively. So, when Liu came in with that kick to the stomach, Kimitsuki lowered her arm to create a small shield of fire to lessen the force of the kick. However, soon came even more assaults at even greater speeds. It was almost too fast for Kimitsuki to see. Of course, because Liu was still much more powerful than her, it would be hard to counter but maybe...

As Liu was unleashing kick after kick on the Danava, on her partner, Kimitsuki was constantly using fire and certain movements to cause the attacks to lessen in force at least a little bit, taking normally each hit until Liu gave Kimitsuki the best opportunity with a kick. As she seemed to be unleashing in a rather precise method. Because of this, THe liberated Flame had to wait until Liu launched an attack, likely a kick, towards her right side, which is when Kimitsuki quickly aligned her shoulder and intercepted the attack with her right arm, and shoulder, to knock it back into place. Sure, it made the kick hurt more than normal, and cause a rather, very, loud pop as Kimitsuki's dislocated shoulder was forced into place.

Kimitsuki soon gained a grin on her face as the Danava's eyes stared directly at Liu in the middle of one of her kicks. During one of Liu's windups for those kicks, Kimitsuki put her left hand against the incoming leg to catch it. However, during the kick, instead of grabbing it completely she used the forced of the kick to spin herself around, while it definitely still hurt, she slammed the back of her right hand to slam into Liu's hip, the one that the leg just kicked. From there, Kimitsuki would attempt to follow through with another punch, this time to the other hip; attempting to slow her down long enough for Kimitsuki to try something rather risky.

The Danava would dash forwards and attempt to shove her lovely to the ground, trying to mimic what Liu did. Except, after Kimitsuki slammed her down, if she was successful, she would attempt to drive a right hook on Liu; focused flame on her knuckles as she attempted to strike the woman. However, if that failed, Kimitsuki would simply attempt to basically just wail on Liu. But, in the end, if none of that worked, Kimitsuki would summon a tornado of fire around herself and her Liberator. Maybe she couldn't use her flame of liberation to help here, but, she would force her way past the hate that Liu's tainted skin was holding for her feelings towards the devil. After all, Kimitsuki said she wouldn't give up. She wouldn't give up even if her liberator beat her into submission.

It was becoming apparent that each of the strikes which Liu managed to land on Kimitsuki was having an effect on that body of hers. She could feel the woman breaking under the weight of her raw physical and energized fight. The primal nature within The Devil could feel that she was dominating this fight in spite of the damage that The Danava Of Flames managed to inflict on the liberating demoness as bits of blood still dripped from her stomach.

Though, before the getting got really good, a bit of back-bite emerged out of the fangs of The Liberating Flame as she appeared to muster up a burst of strength to try and have some counterplay with this hell demon. As during the mist of her full frontal assault, Liu noticed that her leg was grappled and that one of her kicks was used to push and pull Kimitsuki away from her long enough so that she may land a direct strike on her hip. Of course, given their powered up states, it was natural that such a strike released another eruption of power throughout the area as a loud boom deafened the region for a few dozen meters.

Yet, in spite of this making a direct hit on Liu, the woman did not feel ceased by this release of power yet. Did her hip and leg bruise? Of course. But, there still was not enough resolve and stopping power released by that attack to make this devil tuckered out. Granted, it didn't necessarily matter at that moment as Kimitsuki understood she was working with little time here and aimed to tackle this lone devil straight to the ground with a damning amount of impact strength while she was distracted with the punch.

None of this seemed to deter Liu from keeping up with The Danava, however. By the time that Kimitsuki went in to strike The Devil with her resounding hit to the face, The Liberating Demoness managed to summon a cluster of her demonic energy to her cheek to otherwise act as a dense shield to make the woman injure herself at that moment. Given the fact that it was concealed to a small reason, producing a makeshift shield in such a contained region of her body was easier to pull off than trying to create a barrier around her whole self. Ergo, while the shockwaves from the hit may have caused the body of The Devil to become shaken up, the damage could be nulled and negated and reflected back on The Liberating Flame's fist.

Ergo, this then lent Liu enough time to go back on the counter so that she may raise her kneecaps up, devour them in her demonic energy and smashed them straight into the gut of Kimitsuki with enough force to rip apart the landscape if she so chose. As it would feel as if a freight train from hell smashed straight into the body of the fiery demoness if she got hit with this assault. It could knock the wind out of her, produce dizziness, make her spew up blood and further lower her overall durability and health so that she may be pushed closer and closer to the point of either tapping up or having to release.

And, to double this, The Devil Liberator would then raise her head up at the same time to give the woman a thick headbutt to otherwise add more force to the blow and give her enough time to get up, shift her moments out of the one hundred meter deep carter they created and produced a flare of crimson energy around her body as she powered up to deal with the next wave of assaults to come if she managed to otherwise successfully allude Kimitsuki's grasp. If she could not do that, the same actions would take place, only under the weight of The Danava's body; as she would undoubtedly feel the pressure and burns of The Devil's demonic aura bleeding out into existence.

THE LIBERATED FLAME

It would be a lie to say that Kimitsuki was starting to get winded. She was not well versed in long lasting battles or conflicts, most things normally melted to the pure heat of her fire before the battle went past even the five minute mark. Of course, this meant that Kimitsuki couldn't simply stick in her normal form against a foe like Liu and do as well as she could. But, she still was being stubborn and keeping herself from using a Release until desperately necessary; and who knows, she may need that very soon.

Of course, Kimitsuki had successfully pinned Liu to the ground and landed her punch square on the Devil's left cheek. Of course, what wasn't successful was the actual damage from the strike itself. Did a few chunks of flame and possibly a bit of force get through to Liu's face? Possibly. However, the main brunt of the attack was denied by that barrier that Liu produced around her face and then caused a good chunk of that damage to ricochet back on Kimitsuki's hand and arm; causing a spattering of blood from the force that tore her skin open.

The Danava of Fire had to Wince from such a thing, not crying out in pain as adrenaline had temporarily flushed her mind of pain. Would it be evident if she lost that adrenaline? VERY. Right now, however, it was an inconvenience. Soon something more inconvenient came rushing towards her stomach with enough power to likely cause more damage than she wanted. Of course, even if she was bound to Liu as she is now, in a situation like this, where Liu may or may not feel some of the pain she deals to the woman bound to her -- which is Kimitsuki -- she definitely had no intentions of holding back against Kimitsuki. And Kimitsuki had no intentions of doing so either after the Danava came to realize that her liberator, her lover, was going to push her to her limits until she had no choice but to fight harder or give up.

Kimitsuki chose the latter.

When Liu's knees slammed into Kimitsuki's gut, she did indeed spew blood from her mouth like Liu was likely assuming would happen; however, Kimitsuki had braced herself slightly for the attack, created a focused barrier like Liu did. She did so by using her fire and a bit of her own demonic abilities to create two small barriers that would intercept the very peak of the impact. Of course, since it was hastily made, it did not completely block it, but it lessened an otherwise damning blow. From there, Kimitsuki saw Liu's incoming headbutt and did her best to do the same thing she did with her liberator's knees; create a small barrier to intercept the bulk of the attack. That did not stop a tear from appearing on her forehead, blood flowing from the wound down her face. She breathed heavily, the fire around her and Liu becoming hotter once more, but, also becoming much more abundant as she pushed harder against her liberator; keeping her pinned even if the Devil hit her more and more.

"I... I won't give up. I'll push back as hard as I have to, My Liberator..."

As soon as the Danava finished speaking, she growled softly and soon the flames around them grew wild as a board; the Danava's form changing as she relented and released. She was not going to hold back; she couldn't afford to. The Danava above Liu changed to be in attire that looked nearly molten, her eyes slanted like a reptile's, hair pink, and the heat radiating from her body was not only stronger, but much more violent. Like this, she was a dragon, a beast of legend; a beast that desired Liberty, gold, whatever, with all of it's being. Kimitsuki stared at Liu with her orange-gold eyes, a small smile on her lips as Kimitsuki pushed harder once more.

"I will push back until I can no longer push no more; and I'll even keep pushing then until I pass out. You may not be able to love me, you can only adore me, I know; but I can still love you. And you being unable to love me won't stop me from finding a way to make it so you can love me back"

Kimitsuki smiled at Liu again before she reared her right arm back and tried that same punch again; this time a blue and red fire appearing on her fist as she threw the punch. It was hot, focused, fire combined with her Flame of Liberation. She may not succeed in this battle, but, she sure as shit will push back as hard as she can.

Well, if nothing else, it was a pleasure to see that Kimitsuki was beginning to have a bit of a backbone start to come back to her body. Yeah, the Danava seemed to take a heavy beating from the savagery of The Liberating Devil's assaults, but the woman appeared intent enough to try and hold on to her lover. Thus, from this display of tenacity, the demoness earned the acknowledgment from the one she craved the most attention of.

"If you find yourself so in love with me, name me traits that make you fall in love that doesn't revolve our demonic craving for lust."

Those words were spoken with the utmost of conviction behind them as the gruff sounding Liu was intent on forcing The Fiery Demoness to self reflect on the road ahead. As this was a challenge which was uttered out to Kimitsuki to otherwise define throughout the course of their exchanges and blows. Being that this world is one that works on the sentimental and spiritual, it was rather easy to feel honest intent through the blows which other demons and devils shared through clawing each other into a bloody pulp.

So, she'd discern if there were any merit based on the encounters to come. It is why the woman did not seem to react too negatively toward the sight of Kimitsuki's blazing transformation before her eyes. As, from Liu's point of view, it was becoming apparent enough that more earnest feelings were going to win the day in this lovers brawl between the two of them. Which is why before Kimitsuki had finished transforming, Liu started summoning forth her own form of disdain by gathering up a violtaile amount of thick demonic energy which was stored in the depths of her naval region.

When The Liberating Devil was ready to otherwise spit out all of that vileness from her spirit, the area around them turned into sheer lava from the amount of dangerously potent energy being produced by the two women. It was if they were stuck in the depths of an erupting volcano as the sounds of animalistic roars pulsated from out of the inferno aura Liu's body produced. So, by the time that Kimitsuki had went in to deliver her repeated punch toward the face of her beloved once more, she'd be met with an abyss of shadow-drenched energy instead.

Upon colliding with this dense wave of devilish energy, the woman may find herself being flung out of the lava pit with an earth-shattering amount of force. As this collection of power yielded enough strength to otherwise obliterate an entire city akin to the size of New York City in one flash; so there was no doubt everywhere for one thousand meters on end would be deafened in this explosive bang. It could cause many rips, tears, burns, and wounds to mend themselves into existence if Kimitsuki were to take the full brunt of this attack as well. Her organs, bones and all her internals could face immense strain to the point of breaking or falling apart at the seams.

All the while, the area around them would be nothing more than a black void as even the skies themselves became drenched in the abyss of night from this sudden raw release of foul energy which vomited forth from Liu's essence. It was apparent that Kimitsuki was summoning forth her damnest to try and make her stand to The Liberating Devil, so it made sense to puke out these negative feelings in the most violent of ways to her lover so that she'd understand the fall depth of her uncertainty, doubt, and mistrust of other demons trying to love that which is her heart.

THE LIBERATED FLAME

That question, the simple question that struck Kimitsuki like a bombshell threw off the girl for mere moments as she threw her punch; her right hand slowing down as she lost her focus and her transformation flickered on her body and slowly faded away. She wished for traits about love, why Kimitsuki loved her aside from the pure lust she held for Liu when the Devil transformed her into the Liberated Flame. What was it that Kimitsuki loved about Liu that wasn't simply just lust. Well, it's not like the Danava had time to think about such a conundrum.

Just as Kimitsuki's partially slowed fist was to strike Liu's face, something else blocked it, this time a greater energy that made the Danava's eyes widen. It was enough negativity to probably burn out any sort of positive thoughts and actions that existed in the world. Kimitsuki had to at least avoid it, maybe create a shield of some sorts or maybe she could do something else... The Danava didn't exactly have the greatest handle on her new found liberation flame from Liu; meaning that the woman definitely could flub it very easily. So instead of trying something crazy like liberating herself of a physical form to completely become fire to escape, she instead used her liberated flame to try and liberate the energy that had launched her off of Liu. But what was she going to liberate it of?

She couldn't simply liberate it all, oh no, she would probably die from just the explosion of negativity that was going to tear apart her body and rend her with ease. Instead, she would use her Flame of Liberation to create a small pocket of energy liberated from the negativity; just long enough to escape from the giant stream of negativity that wished to tear her apart. She had to brace herself, summon flame all around her, and use it in a brief, quick, moment to liberate that pocket of negativity from the negative before she could use her fire to dash out of the wave of energy and come crashing down onto the beach. Well, what was left of it at least.

Upon further inspection, her clothes were tattered, basically falling off of her as the Danava took a shaky stance; her body burnt, cut, basically full of wounds from their fight. Kimitsuki had no energy to fight, it was simple. She wouldn't be winning this fight; it took nearly all she had to liberate that pocket of negativity and escape with slight harm to her already freight train rammed body. So, The Liberated Flame could only walk towards Liu with extremely shaky steps, eventually collapsing on, or nearby Liu. She was spent, her wounds and general exhaustion taking the better of her as she would look towards her love; her liberator.

"You wish for me to name the traits of why I love you; but such a thing can't even be explained by beings more complex and knowing than us. However, I know one or two things that I love about you that isn't simply born from lust."

Kimitsuki fixed her top so it didn't fall off her body with how loose the clothing was; holding it as her eyes fluttered from her exhaustion as she gazed at Liu.

"Your eyes... Your personality. They're both so attractive. Your eyes may be red like mine, but, they shine with such a radiant glow... and your personality. Wishing to be free and freeing others; yet having so much negativity in your heart. But you're still so.. so free, and I love that about you..."

Kimitsuki's eyes began to flutter again as she put a hand to her forehead, struggling to remain conscious at the moment.

"I don't think, even with our lifetime, I could ever try and explain all the ways I love and adore you; but... just like I will push back against your doubts, past your doubts, I will sure as hell try..."

Kimitsuki let out a tiny chuckle as her eyes looked a little clouded over now as she took a proper seat; fighting as hard as she did, and using as much energy as she did, clearly taking its toll on the Danava now.

"Hey... can we go somewhere to rest...? I don't wanna pass out on a molten beach..."

Vomiting is often the act of projecting the sickness from within into the material world to purge one's self of the illness that lies inside themselves. As such, when Liu hurled the depths of her negativity outward into the reality around herself, it was only natural that her tensions and nerves would eventually calm down to a great degree. Observing the sight of Kimitsuki getting blown to bits by this vicious assault was more than enough to otherwise determine the physical victory of this battle.

Ergo, with her partner to weak to continue this fight, it was rather easy for Liu to stand on her own two feet at this point. And when the demoness did manage to stand up, there was no need for further aggression as the observing part of The Devil's mind was coming into play as she listened forth to the words in which Kimitsuki had uttered out towards her. The initial reaction in which The Liberator had toward Kimitsuki was one of confusion/annoyance since she was asking for specific traits and it irritated her to some degree that she could not piece together those complex words. Yet, it became clear enough as to why she seemed so attracted to her: liberation.

Indeed, the enslavement of the world often brought many spirits to a place of subjugation within the depths of their minds. So to see one who seeks to liberate the heart and mind of others, live freely and exist without restriction is something that would be quite alluring to one who lives in the shadows of slavery. Thus, it all made sense in the end as to why The Danava clung to this creature of hell once everything was mentally processed for Liu. And it is for this reason why her assault would cease for the day.

"I can accept that. It seems you love me for the fact you crave liberation for yourself."

There was no more anger which could be heard in the voice of Liu at this point in time. Instead, the words which were uttered out seemed cool and neutral; as if her mood had restarted itself back to the mellow vibes in which she spoke of at the start of their encounter. Though that is perhaps due to the fact that, for now, she was more focused on just getting them to a place where they could recover. It is why a cleanup crew was already on its way to the beach to restore it thanks to the prowess that Nizhuan possessed to otherwise clean up hellish brawls like this. The details of it weren't too important to Liu, but she was certain it would take a day or two to make this place look pristine once more with a bit of hell magic.

Instead, Liu was focused on getting them back home to recover from the brawl they just endured. So, to that end, The Liberating Devil snapped her fingers and forged a crimson vortex which led straight back to the underworld. It is there where she believed that both herself and Kimitsuki could recover at a much quicker rate than in the pits of Earth or the Demon World. So, she picked Kimitsuki up with her bare hands in a bridal fashion, stepped forth into the portal and uttered these words out to her:

"We're both done with this for today as we are going home. You've earned that much to rest with me."

And with that, the vortex would shut and the headway between the two would come to a cease. If nothing else, there was a sense of closeness that Liu felt to her tool; but to what end is questionable even in her own mind.
