The dark guardian

C73

The tension grew more and more in the room that we were all in, the eyes on me and Bulls were evident, they were seeing the power of both as they collided and a victor had to come out of that battle. It was a sight for everyone and especially for Karius who was sitting cross-legged on his elegant sofa. Acting like nothing was happening.

—I don't like my opponent to be distracted by anything—he pounced on me with his sword that radiated light—I want you to put your eyes on me , not on Karius , otherwise I'll end up killing, James.

—Even if I was blind, you couldn't do anything to me either, understand that I'm faster than you—although I told him that the guy wasn't moving badly at all.

-So you think? Well, look what I'll do right now.— He took his sword and began to use the same flash step as me, that was impressive, a technique like this could be perfected with a lot of training time and even then it wasn't a guarantee that he could put it to sleep. .

Our swords collided again and again, the guy was moving much faster than me, I was even seeing all his attacks with difficulty. There were very strange movements on his part, it was like his body was doubling or at least that was what he could see.

-What's the matter? You can no longer keep up with me because of what I see - I presumed appearing and disappearing in many places in the room - I thought that you were stronger because of what they had told me, but I see that it was surely all a myth, someone as weak as you is not I think I had enough power to beat Masked Wolf, but I must admit that at least you can momentarily stop my attacks, I don't think your physical condition will help you much to stay on your feet—he laughed again and again.

—I wouldn't be so trusting of you, the fact that you have been a vigilante does not mean that Rea is stronger than me, that security will lead you to death—I attacked with great force, but Bulls kept moving faster than me. It made me feel slow and weak.

—I'm sorry but I think I'll have to finish this once and for all—he stopped dead and took his light sword, he was starting to make the same attack that he had previously done to Roshi , but this time he had to be prepared because for To be honest, everything went so fast that I couldn't appreciate what was wrong with it . He was creating a circle with his sword in the air, his body seemed to have been divided into several, cornering me in a very small strait—bursts of swords!— I shouted coming from behind a wave of many swords that collided on my body, wounds everywhere and blood was spilling.

"This can't beat me !" I used a good technique that Lakai had taught me to counter all kinds of attacks. Although using it required using a lot of power. I embedded my sword into the ground, raising my power.

-It seems that you were able to climb from my sword blasts, you are the first to do it, my attack creates a circle in which there is no area where it cannot be attacked, but you just used your power to create a protective shield, but I also see that you have become quite tired with that technique—rubbing his chin—what an interesting strategy, it seems that you use your head very well.

—Stop talking so much and attack once and for all, but like a real man, there have been more words than hesitation and the truth is you're starting to bore me—I provoked him to release his true power.

- how dare you...

—wait a minute— Karius placed his hand on his chest stopping Bulls' attack.

—But sir, I already had the whole situation under control, you don't need to get in the way—I look at him with great respect and admiration.

—and I know Bulls, nothing more than him catches my attention, you see someone with a lot of strength and it would be good to give my body a little activity—he nodded to take a few steps in front of me.— I would like to make you a proposal, how about you stay with us forever?

— as you guys?— I was surprised at the things you were saying to me, first I was your enemy and now you wanted me as an ally—no thanks, so that you guys later try to devour my soul, no, thank you very much but you can find someone else.

—I promise you that will not happen—his eyes lit up more, it seemed that he was trying to make me enter into some kind of spell—I characterize myself as a man of my word, when I say something I do it and I see that you are a subject with great potential to be my second in command, that way your myths would also be at peace, I myself would make my henchmen not try to do anything against him—he kept walking towards me .

—Even if I had the chance to do it, I would never do it, especially with a guy as cold and crazy as you—I was preparing to attack, with subjects like that you couldn't trust anything.

—Come on, think about it for a moment, just imagine how much we could achieve flooded our powers? The world and the universe would tremble at our feet and the best of all is that we would be invincible and immortal, look how generous I am with you. I show you that I am a peaceful man—he raises his hands in the form of peace.

BULLS

I remember when I met my master Karius , I was divanhando in the desert without direction and without any hope, everything I ever had I lost and once and for all. From that time I decided to leave the central dimension and come to the world of the living, that was incurred by never returning to the central dimension, that was the law of a vigilante , doing that was a serious offense for everyone and more, however, no I didn't care about anything.

I walked for hours and hours, the sun was terrible and despair began to run through my body, there was only one thing that I longed for the most and that was to die.

I fell face up looking at the sun, its power and its majestic light hit my face shitting me momentarily , as a lineman I heard some screams coming from a direction quite close to where I was.

I got up and saw again that in the distance a small town was burning, I immediately ran in search of people and saw that they were coming out with great fright, they had children, elders, women and many men, but in the distance I could also see that a spirit was tormenting them, it had completely destroyed the community, but a child had been left behind.

—Perfect, this child will be my dessert—she said with such joy—I try to devour it, but I will never be able to allow it.

—Move aside—I told the boy intervening with my sword—get out of here immediately—offended him and the boy started running, but my body was weak and I didn't know if I could destroy him, at least I had managed to save the boy.

—something much better than that child has turned out for me, this time I will devour the soul of a vigilante—mello attacked me again and again with his sharp claws, the only thing he could do at that moment was defend myself since energy was the least I had I had.

The battle began and the spirit was obviously stronger than me, we both got wounds, but the ones he had done to me were deeper, at that moment I fell to the ground face up, I felt like my whole life passed before my eyes, since I came to the world of the living what I wanted most was to die and I think that at this moment I was the one to accept my defeat, but there was something different, this time I didn't want to die just like that, inside I felt a little fear and that did not leave me in peace.

—Now that you are defeated I will be able to turn your soul—the spirit came over me , but from one moment to another a shadow was in front of me .

"Come on, get up," he told me, "I don't like that they take advantage of someone's weakness," he just had his index finger placed on the head of the spirit immobilizing it. He had never seen someone do that with a spirit, apart from him there was another subject.

I didn't know what was going on and I didn't know if those two guys were really good or if they were just coming for me .

—Here—the other guy gave me my sword—you have to finish the battle, after all, it was your fight—he agreed.

It seems that they were actually helping me, but there was something different about that guy that was stopping the spirit with a single finger, even I had never seen that in the central dimension, but if he did it, it is because he has a great power. I took my sword trusting the two guys who were here.

I prostrated myself before the spirit finishing it off with a single cut.

"What happened to you?" I ask with concern. You don't seem like a bad guy, but from what I see you have a very bad face, I'm sure you've been through hard things until now .

—My hopes are over and all I'm looking for is death—I looked down.

—Death ?— he was surprised—it's not a good option, you're young and you have a lot of potential, if you want you can join my soldiers—he offered lifting my chin.

—I don't think I'll be useful, someone once told me that it's a liana, that I had to depend on someone else to grow and until I put my own rscices is when I'd be able to grow—I shook my head, there was no solution for me .

—Well, let me tell you that whoever told you that was wrong , we all have our weaknesses and we can't overcome them overnight, but if you come with me I promise to help you become strong and you can take revenge on all those people who made you a lot of damage—he offered me his hand.

From that moment he and I have been inseparable, even if he is at risk I will always put my soul in danger to save him.

JAMES

—It's your last chance, I don't want to repeat it—it got closer and closer—just accept and you'll see how many opportunities you'll have with me.

—You really don't cost the things I tell you—with great anger I tried to hurt him with my powerful sword, but I didn't hit. Tiredness was making me lose aim with my attacks.

He immediately appeared next to me and hit me with a big blow, that blow made me crash into some walls.

I looked at him desperately, I didn't know that with just his fist he could do that, but he was the leader for a reason.

I tried to recover to attack him again, but he immediately placed his index finger on my forehead, he had left me static. It wasn't a spell so I didn't cast it, but my body didn't react. He closed his eyes trying to enter me and a short time later he opened his eyes.

"What a shame, I thought I would need you, but I see that your soul has nothing to impress atex, so I'll stay with your friend." He turned on his heels walking away from me little by little with one hand in his pocket. he said nonchalantly to Bulls as if it were a toy.

—Wait—I took my sword with great difficulty—you can't just retreat like that, this isn't over yet, I'll give you what you deserve.

"Seriously, you don't give up," said Bulls, taking his sword, "if that's the case, I 'll finish immediately. "

—I'll finish you off and then Karius— a big explosion had occurred on the roof of the mansion— Lord?— I opened my eyes wider, he had appeared to me with a flash step higher than mine.

—It seems that I came on time—he used his transformation that he had used while in the central dimension, one of the guys wanted to hurt him, but he was much faster than all of them, he immediately tore off the subject's head.

More explosions were felt in the mansion, it seemed that the walls along with it would collapse.

"What the hell is going on here, Lord?" He could only see how some of the debris was falling.

KATSURO

"What are those explosions going on?" Billy was startled by the big bangs that were being felt.

—I don't know, but we have to look for Kai immediately, this mansion will fall down soon and there's no time to waste—we ran down a corridor.

"I think I feel his presence behind that door," Billy pointed out.

—I hope you're sure because otherwise we'll be late—we crossed the room and Kai was there—thank God we found Kai, the one with a weak look.

"We have to find someone else ," he suggested as we ran after him.

I don't know what Kai thinks right now, but it's crazy to run while all this is falling down, I hope it's a Yeni reason why we're exposing ourselves like this.

We got to a room similar to the one he was in and there was a body on the floor. Kai picked it up and when I could tell it was the body of Ates.

"But what are you doing helping him?" It's our enemy—try to get in the way.

—Get off, Katsuro , we have to get out of here, I'll explain later, but he 's not our enemy.

Mike

"Gosh, we must do something immediately, Mike, that house is on fire." Astrid and I watched as the mansion was falling apart. We were a few meters before arriving.

"It wouldn't be a good idea" I shook my head taking her by the waist.

—but… there's James, I don't want anything to happen to him—she began to struggle in more arms kicking like a little girl.

—wait a minute—deep down I had felt like a power was approaching us. Just behind us Lord had appeared with James's wounded body.

"Thank heavens." Astrid had pounced on James to hug him or kiss him as if it was the last time she would see him.

Seconds later a portal had opened and Katsuro , Kai, Ates and Billy came out of it, it seems that we had been lucky this time.

—We have to get out of here as soon as possible—Lord suggested with concern—being close to these guys doesn't seem like a good idea to me, not in these conditions, the best thing would be to recover at home and then we can devise something, hopefully we could get out of this.

BULLS

—What bad luck we've had master, Karius —we were all outside watching our mansion collapse—these guys were still able to get out unharmed and Kai's body was taken.

—Calm down, Bulls—he sounded a bit carefree—it was my fault, I let my guard down, we faced them so don't blame yourself for anything that happened here.

-But, sir... we can go after them and bring back the body of the boy, because otherwise , where would the plans we had with him be ?

—Don't bother doing it, I know very well, Ates, believe me he will return without a doubt and also the body of that boy. This is not the time to make another attack, they are more than us and they have a lot of power, besides now Roshi is not here to help us, we will have more caution for the next battle.

"Okay ," I nodded with respect, what was dictated had to be obeyed, "but next time please let me fight with James, I want to take his life myself."

—As you wish, that boy will be yours and you can punish him as you wish…
