The dark guardian

C42

KAI LOGAN

—Come on, sleep, Astrid, you need to rest—we were in a room of an abandoned temple, it was the only refuge we had at the moment.

—Quiet—he told me—I'll do it later, I think my will was not as strong as yours—I looked down—I'm very sorry.

—don't get like that, Astrid, you still have your powers, don't forget them—try to cheer her up—any negative influence will reverberate in your heart and that way you will become very fragile before your enemies, remember that you are also strong just like us, Here we are all fundamental. No one is more important than another, that's why we are a team, we need each other and right now more than ever.

•

"Are you ready, Astrid?" We left the room, the night was here and we had a long way to go.

" Yes , I'm ready." She started running next to me.

The fact that she has lost her powers momentarily is good since I have been with her for some time and I see that she is not designed for battle, she is vulnerable and easily scared by the guys we face, luckily I also trained hard in the earth so I have become stronger, otherwise I would not have been able to protect it. Also I see that she doesn't like to hurt anyone even if they were her enemies. People like her shouldn't fight, fighting doesn't do her any good.

—hey, stop there you two—a voice came from behind—let me take a look at you—a guy was approaching us—what are you doing in this area? In which squad do they belong? - From the way he addressed us, we had that everything would end now, the problem is that Astrid was also there and I preferred to fight when she was not there.

—well, well... we're from squad two—I tried to lie hoping this would work otherwise they would discover us

—That's strange because I'm also from that same squad and I haven't seen them since before—he got closer and closer—also I'm surprised that you guys go around without your weapons. We always carry our swords.

That was what I was afraid of, each squad has different characteristics, that is, some were characterized by carrying swords, others by carrying bows and a number of different weapons, so lying to this guy would not be an easy thing.

—hey—I take Astrid's outfit—this is the emblem of squad three— there was a drawing that I didn't know was on the uniform—you're not one of us—she narrowed her eyes—I think you don't have the slightest idea of what is this right? Lie no more, who are you? I don't buy that story they say, I'm not stupid.

Damn, I tried to avoid the fight, but this guy leaves me no choice—preparing to fight was all I had left under this circumstance.

Suddenly other guys came with the same clothes that we had taking the guy with them, they had treated him crazy and that he didn't distrust us, at least that was a relief, almost and they discovered us. But...wait, why would these guys help us? Although that guy was crazy according to them, his suspicions were consistent and now these who are several do not suspect anything, something is not right here.

"Astrid, get out of there immediately," I yelled desperately, I knew it was a trap, an explosion had occurred in the middle of the group of people.

The smoke was slowly dissipating but in front of me was a psychic shield created by Astrid.

—What ? —a guy in front of us was surprised—a psychic shield, I don't remember seeing that, it means you guys are interesting guys—he rubbed his hands together.

"Thanks" Astrid was scared by what happened.

—don't thank him, rather I thank you for creating this, otherwise we would have blown up in a thousand pieces—at that moment yes, I thanked him.

—I had never seen this technique before, much less with humans—it was in front of us—is that shield surely thanks to the girl who is with you? It is what comes to mind since I could see that it did not hit you time to react to my attack.

"I'm not going to answer that, stupid " I glared at him "I don't want you to come near us either" his appearance wasn't pleasant at all.

—what an interesting technique—he approached—perhaps there is something important to learn from you, don't you think so? I'll make you an offer that you won't want to miss out on—he rubbed his hands together—how about joining my army? I promise to promote you in rank immediately.

—That's totally ridiculous !— I shouted in front of his face—we have nothing to receive from you, you are monsters who deserve to die.

—You don't need to worry, don't worry, I treat my commanding officers very well—he looked so calm—and I'm always very kind to the ladies, come on, tell me, I promise you I'll give you the best conditions possible—he insisted on negotiating—I'll avoid any situation that puts his valuable life at risk—he was walking towards our direction—how about that? You will agree that the terms that I have exposed to you are very generous, don't you think so?

I instantly transformed appearing to the side of his body.

"What the hell did you just do, boy?" He was surprised to see me transformed. "You're a complete rarity, I haven't seen something like what you just did for years, but it's pathetic, it just gets out of my way."

"Tell me who the hell are you ?" I pointed my sword straight at his face.

-you do not know? How strange, it's a bit illogical to enter a dimension where you don't even know the names of your enemies beforehand, who in their right mind would do that? But it 's okay, I'll make my formal introduction, I'm Dark number twelve and my name is Kaskade —immediately a strong pressure began to feel on the ground, gravity increased making everything heavier—you don't need to remind me because soon it will serve us you're welcome—he was a very strong guy, he had red armor and a black mask that only his eyes could see

—Astrid—I looked at her—I need you to leave this place immediately, it's very dangerous for you to be here, I don't want you to insist, from now on I'll make it very clear to you.

—no, Kai—she cried—I need to fight by your side, I can't leave you here with this guy, it's the least I can do for you. All this time you have cared for me and fought bravely.

"It's not something you should discuss, it's an order, go!" I insisted . I knew that the danger here was much greater.

Astrid started to run, but immediately, Kaskade cast a spell in her direction which I was able to destroy before it hit her body.

"I think I haven't given you permission to try to hurt him, you're a bastard using dirty tricks with those who are most vulnerable." I glared at him.

—Wow, wow... I didn't know you were very fast, but you'll die anyway , you just don't know who you're messing with, boy, I think it's the first time I've faced a problem like this. I see that the girl was able to leave here, but that won't help her because my power is capable of tracking her anywhere and that way I'll be able to enjoy that body, but for that to happen I'll have to eliminate you.

How monstrous is this subject and that other subject I think is his subject from what I see he must be weaker, I will have to start killing the weakest first or else he will give me problems in battles, the last thing I want is hindrance when the battle unfolds.

I vanished using my speed trying to cut off his head, but it had been useless, he was also very fast.

—You seem to know how to move very well—he was approaching—both in this attack and in the previous one you used your speed, right? It's a great technique, boy, I never thought you could master it. Apparently you are a prodigy.

I can't outrun him , but... how does disblos know all that?

—Anyway, catching you like this is going to take me a bit of work, but the truth is that I would care more about catching that beautiful girl, so I'll take something that I didn't want to take between the two of us—he took his sword that he had on his side—with the goal of killing you—his body began to radiate a red Aura and immediately approached me .

What will their skills be? I can't attack just like that, I don't know if he would absorb my attack or what, I can't act on impulse or else my life would end in just seconds, but something happened unexpectedly, the guy next to him had attacked me without As far as I was aware, he had caught me off guard.

"Let go of me, what the hell are you doing?" Suddenly, Kaskade attacked his own partner without caring about anything. why would you do something like that?

—Idiot, I haven't asked for your help for this battle—I hit him—I can only handle him or maybe, don't you trust me ?

"I'm so sorry, my lord." I looked down ashamed.

—Well, I don't care that you did that, I don't expect anything from you—you keep scolding him.

But what did he just do? He sacrificed his own minion to try to hurt me, but what kind of person is this guy?

—I think you're tired— he laughed —I notice that the wound I've given you hurts a lot and the good thing is that you resist without shedding a single tear, you don't emit a single moan either, is it your pride that keeps you like this? Or maybe it's not the first time you've been cut by a sword.

"Believe me this is the second time" I glared at him, I was fed up with his gossip.

—oh, it's great then that you already know the experience of being cut by a sword—he kept laughing, apparently he enjoyed that.

Instantly the subject began to groan in pain from the cut his sword had caused.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" He approached her .

"I'm sorry, my lord, but your sword has hurt me badly and I can't stand the pain in my body ," he complained.

"But what did you say?" He began to hit him over and over again, without any remorse. "You're an insect, you damn bastard. "

—Hey—I yelled at him—leave him alone, how can you treat your own subject in such a way? If you don't attend quickly, he will surely die.

"And now you feel free to even insult me?" He looked at me over his shoulder, "by yelling at me just because I hurt him that way, you should have a little more respect for me . " If I want I can kill him and that shouldn't matter to you, I do what I want with whoever I want. That is the advantage of being someone powerful like me—I take the badly injured body of the subject

Enough !" I tried to react, but my arm couldn't, it was as if it was paralyzed.

—if you wonder why you can't move?— he showed his sword in front of me—it's because my sword has the ability to immobilize where it cuts that's why you feel like that, I'm very sorry, but you wanted to play the hero.—He cut off part of my arm again, it was extreme pain.

—it won't be so easy for you—try to move.

How insistent you are, boy, it seems that your stubbornness makes you get ahead, but my sword will soon render you completely immobile, you are just trash for us Darks ," he laughed.

—You are definitely a heartless monster—I hated it even more than I could, at that moment my power began to increase so much that even I could not control it, the fire of my swords grew as well as that of my head—it is good that Astrid did not know is here, I would not like her to witness what I plan to do with you at this moment, a girl with such a good heart cannot witness a murder like this—my body continued to emanate that immense power—now I swear on my honor that I will to kill you fucking monster

—oh, interesting —she laughed in a schizophrenic way—I would like to try that, from what I see you have increased your power in a very small fraction, but here I am waiting for you anxiously...
