JAMES

—The advance between mastering a power like this requires a lot of training time —Lord was in front of me giving me directions—even for those powerful subjects, even so you must master it in less time, you know, we are in a situation where what the less we have is time.

" Okay, but what is that you have in your hands ?" I narrowed my eyes trying to figure out what it was

—This is a puppet that will allow you to pressure your hidden demon so that it reveals itself with all its power—I take it by the shoulders with some strings

—I don't understand what you're saying. How is that puppet supposed to help me with my training?

Masked Wolf demonstrated , yes you noticed that guy was Yam determined to just kill and kill that he did not exercise anything other than physical conditioning. instead _ you , fought with him on an equal footing, that means your spiritual strength is beyond expectation. So unlike what you might think, you have already achieved that unrivaled level. If you use this with your demon you will achieve that manifestation, in other words we can bring it into our world no matter what. During this time you will have to fight your own demon and force it into submission, if you can't do that...

—I will, if there is no other way to do it—pierce the puppet with my sword—it's what I have left—immediately my inner demon appeared to one side.

"You seem to have recovered very well, James, the way you look tells me. " floated in the air.

"So it's you " I observed, this time I had the physical form of a man

"Did you hear our conversation?" Lord addressed him

"Of course I do," she said, looking into his eyes.

"Then I'll let you fight him , there's no time to lose, you can start right now. "

"Hey," I turned to him, "what's your name?" After all you live inside me and I wanted to know—it was something I was curious about.

—My name is Oz, that's my name, James, now if you'll excuse me—he crouched down, placing one hand on the ground immediately many swords identical to mine emerged from the ground.

—but what the hell did you just do?— I observed the hundreds of swords that were in that place

—Among all the shots you see here, only one is true, that's the only one that can defeat you, the others are pure useless illusions, if you really want to force me into submission you'll have to find a way to locate her before she can kill you and then you will try to beat me if you can.

We retreated at the same time taking the first sword that was nearby and began to attack, it was a close sword to sword fight.

MEANWHILE IN THE CENTRAL PALACE

Soldier after soldier on stretchers arrived at the scene, seriously wounded, apparently the battles that I know were being fought between James's friends and the soldiers had been catastrophic, so much so that any number of the platoons had been diminished, everyone was acting crazy already that a few boys were wreaking havoc in the central palace.

Some captains were afraid, a fear that took over their bodies, they had never faced such a thing, their defense lines were being defeated as if they were a line of dominoes. Their superiors were pressuring them to do something about it, but they had already marshaled all their resources.

Among all the injured was Mike, he was being treated for his last battle he had had with the Dark , Barclays, fortunately he was fine, he was in a deep sleep recovering lost energy, the wounds were damaging satisfactorily, but he still did not know he knew what would happen to him after all.

The battle had been left in the hands of the other Dark , although two of them had already fallen.

JAMES

The fight between Oz and me continued. Multiple explosions came from the clashes we had with our swords, but it was also defeating me, so much so that in one impact it sent me flying through the air plummeting face down,

—Come on, get up, James—Lord was trying to encourage me—I told you that you don't have time to give up and even less to rest, as well as to feel sorry for yourself.— He kept insisting— I'll tell you one more time, damn it, get on Stand up, James Brixt —I tried to get up with difficulty, but I couldn't, my body just wasn't one hundred percent—stop dodging. How much time are you going to waste on the ground?

—forget it—Oz, approached with a sword—if he doesn't have the strength to stand up on his own, I'll take his weak body and cut him in two since it seems I've roasted for defeat.

—I don't think so—said Lord—I don't think that in this way he tries to give up and let all his friends die, after all he is the only one who can save them, worse if in truth this is the end... It hurt me, even me , but my time in trying to make it stronger.

—Then I think your effort has been in vain, Lord, I'm very sorry for you—Oz, hooked his sword to his shoulder feeling sorry for me—I still trusted him , they had sealed me in his body for a reason, but I see that that skeletal body it is useless. I don't know why I had the misfortune to appear in his body and not in another that was really very strong.

IN A RECOVERY ROOM OF THE CENTRAL PALACE

Astrid was there, as was Abra and other vigilantes who at the time were believed to be dead, but that was not the case, it was a room where first aid was provided, in it, Astrid was worried about, James, for what It would be happening to her, her face was sad knowing that all this time she had spent far away from that boy who made her feel different every time she was with him .

"Hey, you" a voice of a man getting up from a stretcher addressed Astrid "why are you worried?"

—it's for a friend—under his gaze putting his hands in the form of a prayer—I'm very worried about what happens.

"You mean James," he positioned himself at the edge of the bed.

"How do you know his name?" He was surprised that this guy knew his name, James.

—Don't worry, he's fine and not only that, I bet you he's getting much stronger right now as we speak, what's more, I'll help him with that myself—he stood up—I have a feeling that if I stay with you I'll see him also very soon-you could see how animated

—and you who What are you?" He asked with a bit of fear.

The subject began to laugh almost in whispers, I did not like that gesture.

name is, Maked Wolf, I am a Dark and I fought against that boy you mention, that is why I tell you that he will be fine, he defeated me and as you can see he hurt me so much that they had to treat me here, otherwise I would have dead. But I hope to have a confrontation with him again—he got closer, analyzing Astrid's face—I see—he crossed his arms—you must be the girl he mentioned at the time of the battle, you must be, Astrid .- She immediately widened her eyes in surprise. I see that you were the one who gave him the strength to go ahead and fight that way, to tell the truth I think that boy is very much in love with you.

—What do you say? —He had blushed as soon as he heard that—then what happened, did you hear from him?

No, unfortunately not, but that if he's not among us, most likely he must be in some corner of this dimension training hard—she stroked her hair, Astrid's expression was one of joy. Joy knowing that James was okay.

KAI LOGAN.

Where am I? - Look around me and I was in a room, in a bed and with bandages on my body - apparently I'm still alive. How is it that?... — Look at my side and there was another subject on another stretcher, I got up to see who it was and it was nothing more and nothing less than, Asap , apparently he had also been injured that he they had to bring to the same room where I was

"Hey Asap ," I removed him from his bed, "are you alive?"

Kai ?" he woke up, "what are you doing here?"

—I was wondering the same thing as soon as I saw you— I scratched my head

—Well, I'm here for having fought against a Dark precisely at the time we were rescuing Katsuro , but it was impossible, that guy named Himura is very strong, so much so that he didn't give me any chance to hurt him, and you? who do you have to fight with?

-I was fighting against a guy named Kaskade , it was a very tough battle, but he asks to beat him momentarily, I went to a temple when another guy appeared in front of me, I unsheathed his sword a little, I entered a strange dimension and when I woke up I already I was here, but you know something, it seems a bit strange to me that they have us alive —I frowned—even that they are treating our wounds, don't you think so? I say, because of what we are intruders and even their enemies.

"It seems that I'm not the only one here," Mike said sitting on a stretcher . murder.

-You mean that they keep us alive to interrogate us later?- was what came to mind-but it will not be easy to escape because in the first place we are tied to these chains

—this is wrong— Asap was standing in front of us—although we have cheated death for a moment we are still imprisoned here, the situation could not be worse, but there is still one thing we have, if they have kept us alive all this time means that the others will be alive too, so there is a very remote possibility, but it is possible that they can get us out of here

"Whatever," Mike said, "considering they were able to catch us, maybe they did the same with them

—I don't think so—I thought—if that were the case, I think the one they caught was Astrid, she's not very skilled, thus reducing the group, I think that only James and Lord are safe. What we can do by then is to finish healing our wounds and be prepared for the next battle, in my opinion I say we wait for James.

JAMES

I started running away from, Oz, it was destroying me, every sword I took was useless, I was desperate to know what to do. The swords were still on the ground but I had to know which one was correct, at the end of the road I saw one that made the difference between so many.

—finally— I shouted with joy heading towards her—this has to be the real one—I took it and attacked Oz, but it was all in vain because it wasn't the right one either.

—so sorry for you—he attacked me, hurting my chest—as I told you before, you must see beyond simple swords, each one of them represents every corner of your spirit, the purpose of this training is that you know how to distinguish between all of them

Damn , if he keeps this up he'll end up killing me—I was on my knees bleeding a little

—if only you are unable to recognize her then forget that you can dominate me forever—he yelled at me—go ahead, get up and keep fighting, we don't have time to whimper

—I think you're right—I got up and took another sword that was nearby—
