The dark guardian

C26

—James, James—they shook my body—James, get up, the danger has passed—I opened my eyes and noticed that the sun was hitting my face hard, the voice I was hearing was from Asap , I got up again and noticed that the others were not were.

—Where are we?— I wanted to know when I didn't see the other boys, Astrid,—was the first thing I thought—Where is she?

don't know, as much as you , I also fell with you to this dimension, I guess the others also fell in other dimensions.— He extended his hand to lift me up.

—We have to hurry, their lives are in danger, but... Where will the exit be?— I looked around me, it was a dimension where everything was deserted and abandoned, there were no signs of life in any way. There was only a narrow path with many stones around it.

"We can follow that path, don't you think so?" he suggested confidently, " I'm sure if we follow it towards something it will lead us to the end."

"Sounds good to me," we started running. I only thought about what could happen to Astrid, all the time I've spent with her I've grown fond of her, so much so that I would give my life for her, for nothing in the world would I allow someone to hurt her.

The road got longer and longer, we climbed a hill that at the end we could see a huge waterfall with green grass around it.

"Look, it's a waterfall," I pointed out as we ran.

We arrived at the waterfall, we wanted to drink some water, but the strange thing was that when we submerged our hands it did not get wet.

—move aside— Asap managed to push me away from being speared through the Corps.

"Damn, how did I not see that coming ?" I took my sword. " Where did it come from?" We were both confused.

— what amusing humans—a voice was heard with an echo that enveloped us

—I would like to have fun with the guy on the right—another voice was heard.

"If you are so brave, show up." My eyes pointed in all directions waiting for their next attack.

In front of us appeared four guys carrying a sword at their side.

—Stupid humans , it only occurs to you to come to a dimension where your lives are as fragile as a sheet of paper.

KAI LOGAN

Damn, I feel like my body hurts too much, I touched my side and I could feel like a rib had been fractured. where the hell am i ? Look around me and there was nothing but a forest with abundant vegetation, later near a bush I saw a hair similar to Astrid's, I ran closer and it was her.

"Astrid, pick me up." I grabbed your neck and waist to try and pick her up.

—Kai—he whispered, opening his eyes—tell me James is okay—he massaged his head

-is seriously? You're just waking up and the first thing you think of is James? - I frowned, this girl was crazy.

—I just had a nightmare—he got up—Where are we here? Why don't I see the others? —I stare at the horizon.

—I don't know, I wondered the same thing when I woke up and then I saw you in this place, I guess it must be some dimension. We have to find a way out, but I have no idea where to start. Aren't you hurt? - I worried.

"No, I'm fine and you ?" I look at my side trying to touch it.

"Leave me alone," I stopped his hand, "it's nothing and it will also heal quickly." What really matters is that we look for a way out of here.

JAMES

"We'll see who is more fragile among us , stupid ." I glared at him .

In the blink of an eye the four types merged giving way to two types with similar characteristics between bodies. One wore a totally white suit and the other one totally black.

—surprised? Get used to seeing this my name is Abra—the guy in white introduced himself

—and mine cadabra —the guy in black introduced himself.— what you just saw is just an optical illusion that we created, that waterfall that you see doesn't really exist, that's why you didn't feel the humidity of the water, it was so just a lure we use for hunting, but your friend seems to have very good reflexes, if it hadn't been for the tea we would have pierced the body with that spear.

"Brother, we have to decide which one to start with," they debated among themselves.

"I'll go with you" Abra pointed at me

—and me with you— Cadabra pointed to Asap .

From one moment to another I create a portal which attracted Asap along with Cadabra disappearing instantly.

—Don't worry about your friend, my brother is quite playful, I'm sure he 'll have a little fun before killing him and don't worry about me either, I'll treat you very well, since I was little I've been taught to serve guests well—he unsheathed his sword hitting me straight to the heart. His sword was very thin which surprised me, but he was very fast.

—Surprised because I could dodge it?— I positioned myself next to him.—We'll see if you can dodge me—I took out my sword, launching an attack at his neck.

—not bad huh—he stopped it with his hilt while we struggled—it will be an honor to fight someone strong like you—he catapulted me into the sky leaving me defenseless—test the edge of my sword—launched an attack that reflected many swords in my direction.

—Don't think that with that you will defeat me—I wrapped myself up to wait for his attack, I immediately saw my body bloodied by the multiple wounds that he had caused me by plummeting.

—don't tell me that you're going to give up, come on please, I was having too much fun with you for you to throw in the towel as soon as possible.— he licked the edge of his sword tasting my blood—but what delicious blood you have, a long time ago that did not taste a blood like the one you have.

"If you like to taste my blood I hope you also like to taste yours" I faded appearing under his chest piercing his abdomen.

-damned! I touch his bloody abdomen—I like what you've done, in a way I enjoy it more when my opponent is strong. By the way, what 's your name?

James, James Brixt ." I frowned .

ASAP

Where I am? I looked around me and saw some huge walls that cornered me. Where is that guy who was in front of me ? Look to my sides.

You mean me ?" a voice was heard from above, "I've already told you that my name is Cadabra and you're in my labyrinth, where I enjoy playing with my victims a little, I'll explain a little about what it's all about." this game, in this maze there is an exit and you must find it, but there are levels where there are traps that could end your life, if you reach the end of the maze you can face me, otherwise let me tell you that you will die little by little in the . I wish you luck—instantly the light went dark.

On the walls I saw a small spot of fluorescent color, I assumed that this would be a type of guide to find the exit. I started to run as far as I could behind the Light when suddenly I plummeted into the void, I reached out my hands looking for something to hold on to, but to no avail. I fell into a camera where I saw red eyes that were slowly approaching, they were wolf demons wanting to devour me. I started to fight hand to hand with them, but there were too many, I could feel their bite on my legs and arms, I shook a little trying to free myself, but it was impossible.

—It can't be that simple disgusting wolves try to take my life in such a foolish way!— I raised my power creating a light flash that lit up the entire chamber, my sword emitted a light, I was thirsty to kill them all. I'll have to use one of the techniques my father taught me—Spell number four. blast _ titanic! —I catastrophically destroyed the chamber, tearing the labyrinth to shreds. So Cadabra 's body had been exposed . I'm tired of your little games, I'm not like any prey you could have had before and I swear you'll be bad for having tried to make fun of me .

—Well, well... I thought we would start little by little, but I see that you already want to jump into action—he constantly mocked—if that's what you want , that 's fine, we'll see what you're made of, but then I don't want you to ask for mercy for your soul , I know I'm someone merciful, but my duty is to finish you off.- He drew his huge sword.

JAMES

The battle developed intensely, the clashes were frequent, exorbitant sparks came out of them, it was even, Abra's power was at the same level as mine, but the bad thing is that for some reason I don't hate transforming into this dimension, I was fighting only with my human part.

—I can accept that you move very well, rather I feel something familiar in your movements, I feel a very different energy that comes from your body. are you hiding something boy ? attacking me

—I don't hide anything damn sick, I'm not like you weird—repelled all his attacks.

—if so, this lesson will come to an end—he stopped—you see my sword—he showed it—because this sword has the power to grow much more and you'll see it—he began to raise his power by crouching down, immediately the sword began to throb taking a very large size.— Witness the length of this sword that will pierce you, little one.

"Go ahead, I'm not afraid of you" I positioned myself to wait for him.

In seconds he disappeared from my sight, I turned my neck to the left and saw how his sword was inches from my shoulder.

ASAP

—more action and less words—I turned around on him—from this angle you look great—I hurt his back with my sword—it seems that now you don't talk so much huh?

—you will pay dearly for what you just did—his eyes turned white as snow—a kind of electricity came from his hands—try my sword—it split in two—this sword is not a common sword and right now I will show you its function He attacked me from the front without caring what his body wanted exposed.

Are you stupid or what ? " I attacked a point that had left me visible, but when I attacked it my sword went into the void as if it were a black hole.

—Welcome to my game—he laughed—I can create black holes that can absorb anything, without a doubt you have been lucky, but in the next one your body could travel to an unknown dimension.

This must be a joke, I get out of one mess to get into another, what kind of guy is this? I had to act fast or else one of those holes I formed out of nowhere would absorb my power. This can not be! All my life I had longed to fight these guys, but I didn't know how powerful they were. I wonder how James is doing with that other guy?

JAMES

—I can't imagine how that cut I gave you must be burning you—he pointed with his sword—my sword has the ability to cut and at the same time burn wherever it passes, that's why it's better known as the sword of fire. At least I will have you in my thoughts, the result was inevitable, you are weaker than me.

—and who told you that this is over?— I took my sword with my badly wounded body—if I came here it wasn't to lose with a wretch like you— I concentrated a quantity of energy at the tip of my sword to create a explosion when attacking it.

—but how can you still move? My sword is supposed to cut and burn the life of my opponents.” He frowned in surprise.

"I told you this wasn't over," I turned on my heel in his direction . " Your head will soon roll," I pointed at him with my bloody sword.

—I think it's perfect, a little danger wouldn't hurt at all—he positioned himself to attack.
