The dark guardian

C76

After being in a risky situation like him, the one we were talking about, Lakai had arrived using his lethal magic and was able to get us out of the buttonhole in time than Kai. Fortunately we were safely at his house, gathered in a circle, we were always at his house as he had activated a protective scout around the house.

THE NEXT MORNING

"How is Kai?" I asked Lakai , he came from Kai's room.

—Okay, the only thing you have to do is let him sleep and respect that dream, surely his body is tired and it's no wonder, the emotions he felt when Ates disappeared surely hit him hard.

"You're right ," I agreed , and then sat down at a table, "I had never seen him so sad at that moment and so determined to sacrifice himself for that boy's life." The friendship he cultivated was very great, I understand, that's how I felt when Katsuro was trapped in the dimension. Central.

—We have to come up with a better plan—we all sit at the table—but for that I need Jinsu 's help—I point at him .

me ?" Jinsu pointed to himself.

—Because I need us to go to Karius 's mansion , surely there we will find clues to have more information about these Volt, otherwise we will always stand idly by. They must have a weak spot, no doubt about that, but first we have to find out.

—hey and what were those things that were coming out of that portal that Karius had created ?— I wanted to know, there were too many of those things and I didn't understand the purpose.

—I have a hypothesis about what I saw in that place and I think they are not simoles wasps, I think those wasps are dolls of themselves, think about it for a moment. what do wasps do? They collect honey to make a hive, right? Well, I also think that they will collect enough energy to create something, because the fact that they sacrificed one of their own is because the intention that Karius has is not good.

—You're right, I hadn't seen things from that point of view— Mike affirmed .

—For the moment we have to rest, Mike and Astrid can stay at my house, here they will be safer like Kai, I activated a barrier around the house so that no enemy could enter, but I don't know if you want to pass time here

Astrid looked hesitant and I didn't like that, I wanted her to be protected and not have any more headaches to add to my long list. So I had to convince her to do it.

—Come on, don't deny yourself , we all want the good of everyone here, so don't say no, because I wouldn't want your life to be in danger—I hugged her to make her feel good and it was good to do so because in the end she nodded.

"Okay, I'll stay longer if you want" she came back. To see me and I felt very grateful that this time she didn't behave like a stubborn one.

— You can go home, James. I guess you've already spent a lot of time away and they're going to start to miss you, if you want you can take Billy with you, he 'll always be in charge of notifying you every time he feels a Volt nearby. Remember that we have to be ready for any movement that we do not know about from the enemy.

"Perfect, I'm the one who pays the piper with this kid," I rolled my eyes.

-why? has he been misbehaving? Because if that's the case, I can continue modifying it and it won't give you any problems at all— Lakai assured .

—no, it's not that, so leave it there's no problem for me —I put my lips in a single line.

—Well, anyway, don't say that I didn't want to help you with that— Lakai insisted.

"Leave it like that, I told you" I crossed my arms in denial.

Hours later I was in my room, I hadn't been here for a long time and I was already feeling weird, like I didn't belong in this place, maybe in the future I'll think about moving, but I plan to do it until all this is over because of what Otherwise my family will be in danger, but it must feel good to live away from home, more comfort and more peace especially.

Katsuro had come with me, but I arranged my wardrobe so that he could be sleeping inside and not raise the suspicion of anyone in the house, I didn't want them to ask me things about him.

"Do you think it was a good idea for us to come to your house?" Katsuro asked .

" Billy said, " Lakai isn't wrong and it's not because he created me, but actually those things, as he said, collect the necessary energy and James's family would be a delicacy for them, but don't worry either." because he also gave me tools to counteract the attack of those insects.

—Please lower your voice or else people are going to think I'm crazy in this house—immediately I heard footsteps heading towards this room—let's go hide— Katsuro and Billy are entering the closet.

—Who were you talking to , James?— kstrina came to my room trying to find out—I think I heard the times of more people in your room—she looked at me with that detective look.

—You're just creating inventions in that head—I went over to scratch his head—I was sure it was the song he had on, you know…—I smiled, but deep down I felt uncomfortable, it's so these two wouldn't feel like doing something that later I would regret.

—It's fine if you say so, but you can also trust your sister, because she's younger than you, it doesn't mean I can give you advice, even if we don't get along well, deep down we're brothers and that's what's important, ok? —She hugged me tightly, things that I was missing, she usually always tried to make my life impossible so I returned the hug.

"Thanks, it should be to go to your room, don't you think so?" I suggested and crossed my fingers that he would pay attention on the first try.

" Yes , I'll go now," she withdrew jumping from one side to the other like a girl.

—what you make me go through— I opened the closet—now she thinks I'm crazy or in a state of depression .

—I didn't know you had very affectionate sisters—said Billy—you humans will always say that you are a very mysterious race.

—James— Katsuro approached—can you feel that?— He frowned and then walked towards the window—I feel as if there is a spirit hovering nearby, I suggest we go see.

— Yes , it 's okay, there's no time to waste—I took my sword and we left.

not thinking of leaving me here, are you ? " Billy asked with a little concern.

—There's no problem, we'll leave you here for a moment, we're not going to. Dilatar and you said that your mission was also to protect my family and even that Lakai had given you Tools to get those Volt away from here, right? So hey, calm down, we'll be right back—we'll leave right away.

The presence of that spirit was not long , we arrived at the site and the truth is that it was not of great category, so it would not take me long to destroy it . Take my sword, use my flash step to appear on top of his head and cut him completely.

—How strong you 've become since the first time we met— flattery Katsuro —how time passes and you keep progressing, that makes me very happy.

—Well, thanks, you also had to do with that, you were the reason for making me stronger, but now they continued to return them to my house, we can't afford to spend a lot of time outside and even if Billy knew how to counteract them, we don't have to trust so much

— Yes , you're right—we both ran back to my house.

We were perhaps three blocks away before we reached my house and a silence could be heard throughout the neighborhood as if a hurricane had passed by, taking everyone with it.

—Wait a minute — Katsuro stopped short—I feel an energy that comes from your house —he frowned , he analyzed more carefully.

—don't tell me it's about Volt—that if I was worried, I took my sword and made the threat of running.

—No, don't worry, it's not any evil energy , I just feel an energy and that's it, worse better let's keep running towards your house, surely we'll realize it there.

We ran more and more, but by the time we arrived we had found many things around the house, they were spiritual traps that under the eye of a human it would be impossible to detect. I got to the hell of the house and they also had . Lots of traps everywhere, I guess Billy was responsible for all this. Follow that when he said tools he meant this.

I got to my room and Billy was on the edge of the bed swinging his feet.

—until they finally arrive—he scolded us—they said they weren't going to delay and they delayed more than expected, Ake little responsibility you have with yours James—he sounded like my father—but fortunately they have me to do the work that you do not do, urge me many spiritual traps so that none of those Volt can enter, they are impressed with the things I can do, right?— he presumed .

"How exaggerated you are, but yes, this time I agree with you and thank you very much for helping me and my family" I caressed his hair, after all in reality if he was being a contribution to the situation we were going through.

—I'll go to sleep for a bit and please don't make too much noise— Katsuro was in the closet.

" Okay, I'll still get some rest." I lay down on the bed and started to think about the things I had seen, if the idea of when Karius placed his finger on my forehead was bouncing in my head, I still can't figure out how he did it that, but I could see that he also used it on Ates before destroying it, if doll was static at that time, maybe it's some kind of modified spell, but I have to find out how he did it. In addition , that vigilante is a hindrance, he moves very fast, and I have never seen that technique before, not in the central dimension. I hope my family can be well.

KAI LOGAN

Where will the Soul of Ates be? I woke up a little, I knew I was in Lakai 's house , the walls were already familiar to me, but there was no longer a reason to run away from here. Wherever my friend's soul is, I hope it is well, meanwhile I will have to rest more. Somehow I have to figure out how I can reactivate my powers. This time I'll be the one to destroy that bastard.

—you're awake—Astrid entered my room—we were all worried about you after we saw you so badly when Ates died.

—don't even mention it— I settled more on the bed, giving him the sword.

— I know you're wrong, but it's not fair that you punish yourself that way, you 're not to blame for everything that happened there, if you keep blaming yourself for something that wasn't within your reach, it will be a cross that you're going to carry for the rest of your life—he felt on the edge of the bed.

—It doesn't matter, I still think I deserve that cross, if it weren't for me everything would be fine with us, but of course, now that I don't have powers I'm the group's hindrance.

—We have never considered you a hindrance, Kai, we have always been together in all adverse situations and I am a witness of how you fought in the central dimension—he placed his hand on my back—so get up from that bed and don't think like that anymore , we all need you and even the boys.

"By the way, are they okay?" At least the least he could do for them was ask about their health.

—That's right, we're all fine, James went home, according to Lakai they will train to defeat those new creatures that appeared, the rest of us are here while we have the necessary information to defeat them.

—I also have to find a way to train, I must recover my powers and join you—I got back on the bed to sit next to Astrid.

—That's how I like to listen to you, with the encouragement to move on, if you really want to give honor to Ates's death, it will be in the form of fighting and not staying in that bed depressed, believe me, surely he would have wanted the same thing if he were among us.

—Thank you very much Astrid, in reality I had lost hope but I like seeing that I have friends who love me and who are willing to move on but with me, we have to go eat a little because the truth is I'm starving—my guts began to make strange noises and it was reasonable, I hadn't eaten normally for a long time because I was thinking about the rest that tormented me.

JAMES

— Jinsu I want you to take care of my family, I have to go do something—I left the house and I had to go to the only place where I would feel better, there was something that bothered me in the head but I needed to be clear to be able to think coldly .

He walked for a long time until he reached the mountain that was close to home from where he could see all the buildings of the city, the weather was perfect and he was alone, it was what he wanted.

Shortly after I was lying on the grass I heard footsteps coming my way, I immediately turned my neck back and saw a silhouette that was slowly approaching, I thought it was an enemy. More however when I looked at him it was Lakai .

—Calm down James, I could see how you've gotten as soon as you've seen me, maybe you thought I was an enemy, but I just came to enjoy, just like you, the good view from here.

"How did you discover this place?" It is assumed that only I knew him, that is, perhaps others have passed through here but within the group of us, only I knew him or could it be that you are watching me?

-How do you think... they are pure consciences, believe me, I have no reason to do such a thing, the only thing that worries me is how Kai is, I could see that Astrid was encouraging him a lot and it is even seen that his mood has improved, but deep inside I know him and I know that if pride won't leave him alone until he regains all his powers, we have to do something to help him or else it's only a matter of time before he starts to get disappointed.

"But how do we do that?" If we have already helped him in many ways and still he is determined that it is not useful for us and to think that I was the stubborn one of the group, but Kai is another more serious case.

—You have to understand, perhaps you. How would you feel if you lost your powers for good?

—Well, if you're right, I don't even want to imagine it, but do you think we can do something before the other battle begins? Because as I see the plans of the Volt they will not stop, I even see that they are advancing everything.

—That's right, but let's hope that Lord brings good news from the trip he made to the central dimension. They must know more about these things, that way we will have a point in our favor. When we know something about our enemies.

—I wanted to ask you something that has been bouncing around in my head and that is, what power is Karius using ? That is to say, he does not have any sword and he does not make much effort other than to use his hands with subtlety, when I was in the central palace I was able to fight very strong with Dark but they had swords and used other types of powers, but this guy is a total mystery .

-What he uses is a pressure in the palm of his hand better known as the palm of Buddha, it is not a technique that can be used so easily, even I cannot execute it, it is my powerful, but they also have their impact. But from what I see these guys are some kind of mutation that control the powers at their own will, only that we have to train you more so that you recover the level you used in the central dimension, also that you still cannot master your seal number two.

— Yes , since we arrived on earth everything got worse, he just used my brute force and my sword in its natural state, as I would like my powers to increase to what they once were.

"Calm down," he patted my shoulder, "you'll make it, I'm sure of that." I have trusted you from the first moment I saw you, otherwise I would not have had the courage to entrust the task you did while you were there, it is all about having patience and you will see that both you and aki will return to their original state, I know that let's beat those Volt.

—Hopefully you're not mistaken because this time I want to break that stupid Karius 's face , seeing me in that state made me feel weak and I know I'm not—I clenched my hands angrily.

—what you can do in this miner is to return home and take care of your family, I know you let Jinsu do it, but if they came to attack it wouldn't be enough with him—he recommended and then he left in the shadows.

—You're right, I'll have to go—I began to walk towards my house, for the moment the only thing left for me was to take care of my family, while everything returned to normal
