The world had been through chaos, war, and destruction, yet today was different.
Today was not about battle.
Not about power.
Not about preparing for the war ahead.
Today was about love.
Tenzir—the warrior who had fought alongside Raizo in countless battles—was finally getting married. And his bride? Asuka, a warrior in her own right, a woman with a sharp mind, an unbreakable spirit, and a heart strong enough to stand beside him.
The two had met during the battles against the invading demonic forces, and through blood, fire, and sacrifice, their bond had been forged. Now, they were ready to begin a new chapter—one far away from war, if only for a short time.
The wedding was held in an aerial temple—a legendary floating island, drifting high above the clouds. The setting sun painted the sky in golden and crimson hues, as if the heavens themselves were blessing their union.
Thousands gathered. Warriors, mages, and even former enemies who had once stood on opposite sides now joined in celebration. For once, there was no fighting—only peace.
Tenzir stood at the altar, wearing ceremonial silver and black robes, his hair neatly tied back. His usual battle-hardened demeanor was replaced with something rare—nervousness.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
And then—Asuka appeared.
She walked down the aisle, wearing a white and blue silk gown, embroidered with glowing golden runes—symbols of prosperity and strength. She was breathtaking, her presence alone causing murmurs among the crowd.
Even Raizo, who had seen gods and demons alike, couldn't help but mutter, "Damn, she really got him wrapped around her finger."
Asuka approached the altar, her gaze locked with Tenzir’s. For a moment, there was no world-ending threat, no Ryuketsu, no looming war.
Just the two of them.
When it came time for speeches, Raizo—being the best man—stepped forward.
He looked at Tenzir, then at Asuka, and let out a smirk.
"Tenzir. We’ve fought through hell together. Faced demons, armies, and even death itself. And somehow, out of all those battles, the hardest one was finding a woman who’d actually put up with you."
Laughter erupted from the crowd.
Raizo continued, "But in all seriousness, I’ve never seen you like this before. And that tells me one thing—she’s the only opponent you’ll never be able to defeat."
Asuka chuckled, crossing her arms. "Damn right."
Raizo turned to her and added, "And Asuka… good luck. Seriously. You’re going to need it."
The guests roared with laughter once again, while Tenzir shook his head, smiling.
With that, Raizo raised his glass.
"To Tenzir and Asuka—may your battles always be fought together, and may your love be stronger than any war."
The toast was met with cheers, and as the couple shared their first kiss as husband and wife, Raizo couldn’t help but look up at the sky.
Five years.
Five years until Ryuketsu’s return.
But for now…
This moment belonged to Tenzir and Asuka.
And no war would take that away.
