The dark guardian

C80

LAKAI

Diddo in my humble abode , he was characterized by efficiently healing the wounds of the soldiers in the central dimension, by means of a power that I had not yet seen—I thought that my assistant would not find you.

—I came as soon as I knew that the wounded were Jinsu and the boy he had protected—he got down on his knees to put his hand on his pulse—it seems that he is very weak, I can hardly feel his low pulse, but don't worry me I will do my best to heal these wounds, but first of all I need you to bring bandages—he stood next to Jinsu 's body .

I went to the first aid kit I had in the living room, rummaged through things and found some bandages.

—Here—I gave it to him—I don't know if he's good with this or do you need more?

—It's more than enough—he immediately put his hands in the form of a prayer and began to recite some spell, from the palm of his hands there was a faint yellow light, he began to place his hands on all the wounds that the bodies had and as if by magic little by little they were closing.

—I hadn't seen a regeneration as fast as what you do with your technique—I analyzed each step I was doing.

—That's right, my technique is very special, that's why in the central dimension I was responsible for my squad, all the wounded had to go through my hands, but years later I retired from service.

KATSURO

"Spell number three!" Sunburst—had dealt damage, but not to him .

—They still don't understand the difference between our powers—he laughed while his weapons did too—their leaders as humans are limited while mine is immense, he doesn't know the word limits, now they will suffer under my sword and my shield—he decided to attack Kubo from the start and managed to get through his shoulder.

"Leave him alone !" Astrid came to the rescue with her psychic shield in front .

" You will also receive your share." Before she arrived, he took his shield and threw it at her like a boomerang. He had to do something before he could shock her.

I used my flash step and managed to appear next to Astrid. Take one of my katanas stopping his attack.

—Believe me that being present I won't allow you to hurt him, damn—I attacked with my two katanas , I had to try to see his weak point.

—Very slow—he boasted of his speed and appeared a little higher—even if they are three against one they have no advantage, more of you could come and the result will be the same.

"That's right, you are insignificant insects for us," he spoke without a sword.

" We have faced stronger opponents than you," added his shield.

Meanwhile Astrid had Kubo 's body in her arms , he was badly injured.

" Are you okay?" I ask while trying to close the wound on his shoulder.

—I am, don't worry, but we spiritual puppets have a borrowed body, even if it blows up into a thousand pieces it won't hurt—he rejoined—but we must be careful with this guy.

—That's right, try to find a weak point, but I still can't do any damage—I watched them—we have to run away while we come up with something—I suggested.

—Hey, I'm not a coward to run away in the middle of a battle either— Kubo frowned.

—I'm not saying that we will flee because of cowards, but because of strategy, please listen to me—I took the initiative running to the front, followed by Astrid and finally Kubo .

—Where do you think they 're going?— Rash was following us , I could see that he had thrown his sword and shield into the air, both were moving in a circle—no one can run away from me .

—Wait a minute—a guy had appeared that we had no idea who he was—it seems like you 're having a hard time beating these guys—he smiled .

"What are you doing here, Pavard ?" Rash asked , apparently it was just another Volt.

Perfect, we couldn't with one and another one appeared.

"This job has to be for an expert like me ," he presumed, " I don't know why my leader gave this mission to you, someone who has no command of his powers. "

Shut up you smug bastard ," Rash snapped at him angrily.

—But what a bitter guy you are, Rash —I come out on top of him appearing in front of us—see my power—under a bit of his shirt, he was wearing a necklace with a green pearl, he took it and threw it to the ground, d as a seed entered the earth and read it emoed to bloom a silver with a flower.

"Is that a doll?" I asked in amazement.

"Shut up and wait," he commented while a rose had fallen into his hand and it came to life.

"My lord has summoned me," said the rose.

"I want you to attack," he ordered, but the rose did not address us but Rash , sticking a thorn in his neck.

-What's wrong? You're stupid —I reach his hand to the neck—we're supposed to be on the same side and you attack me—I demand.

-Than? You're scared from what I see— Pavard made fun of his own partner—ah, he didn't remember, worse sure your age is coming and that's why your movements are slower than I thought—he put a hand to his mouth and laughed.

—You've gone crazy honestly, but if your goal is to fight them that's fine—I put away their weapons—I'll leave them to you to have fun, but it won't stay that way—he left in the shadows.

"This guy must be very strong," said Kubo , " if his friend got like that as soon as I look at him, it's because he must have something. "

—It doesn't matter—I put myself in front—don't worry, leave this to me—I launched my katanas and attacked him immediately, but he was able to dodge me with a jump appearing behind me.

—Wow...—he smiled—I'm very struck by your ability, but it won't be for long.

"Any more orders, my lord?" his rose spoke to him.

"Yeah, I just want you to have a little fun with them." He put his hands in his pocket.

Immediately the rose took the form of a projectile that was heading towards us at high speed.

"Be careful," we crouched down, but it was moving in many directions.

Once again he attacked and could not hit us. It looked small and harmless but as soon as it hit the ground it laid eggs quite deep.

"I think that's enough, don't you think?" Pavard laughed, "it's time to take things seriously," he snapped his fingers and as soon as he finished snapping that rose had taken a larger size. It instantly attacked us again, but this time it was shaped like a meteorite.

He headed towards me with more speed than in his first attack, I managed to put my katanas in an X shape, but as a result of the strong impact he managed to get them out of my hands. He took more momentum and attacked again, I jumped and managed to dodge his attack, but now it had entered the ground. That way he wouldn't know where the next attack would come from.

"Be very careful," I warned the others, "now we don't know if he will attack me or you."

From the earth it had emerged but under Astrid's feet, it began to surround her like a whirlwind.

— Katsuro ...— Atsrid was trying to get out of the whirlwind.

Pavard told him while he smiled like a madman.

I did not wait for more. I quickly ran to pick up my katanas , I had to do something before that thing ended up hurting Atsrid . I took one of my katanas , I followed the course of that thing with my eyes and managed to detect the sequence in which it moved. I threw one of it and managed to hit it successfully, but it went back into the ground.

"Are you okay?" I helped Astrid.

—I am, don't worry—he patted my shoulder—thanks for saving me, but there's still something pending.

"Yes," I shook my head, "now that this thing enters the earth we have no idea where its next attack will be."

Right away I saw that rose floating behind Astrid's back.

—Move aside—I threw it away and stood in front of me when I saw that thing would attack it—What... is this—I looked at my chest and that rose was penetrating me little by little until it managed to get inside me.

astrid

Katsuro 's body fell to the ground and Pavard began to laugh over and over again.

"What's the fun you find in all this?" I glared at him. I went to Katsuro 's body to help him, but he didn't react.

— katsuro —she shook him —please don't die—a tear rolled down my cheek—please don't die.

" He hasn't died, girl " Pavard snapped his fingers and immediately Katsuro had woken up.

" Katsuro , you're not dead," she smiles relieved, I take his arm to lift him up, but his eyes are different . His gaze was cold and dead. He didn't even answer my call.

—How naive you are—laughed and laughed—he is now under my control. Come here Katsuro —I order him and then I walk slowly towards him , acting like a robot. He wasn't even reacting to what was happening outside.

JAMES

"What are you doing here , Steve?" I asked as he stepped forward.

—I was sent from the central dimension especially the Dark Wolfpack , I also came with three more vigilantes, this is a squad eleven mission so step aside—he stood in front of me and unsheathed his sword.

—Perfect—said the metal doll—more guests came, Master Marck—he looked anxious to fight against Steve.

" Stupid doll," Steve sentenced, "you have no idea who you're messing with, I'm not like weak James," he attacked with his sword.

The doll began to deform cannonballs towards him , his arm had taken the shape of a cannon.

"This won't be enough for you." Steve defended himself with his sword. After dodging two bullets he attacked him, but his sword didn't deal damage because of the way that doll was—I see you're also resistant to my sword.

" You 're strong too," he replied happily , "I like opponents the same way," he attacked him again with two more bullets in a row.

Steve backed up a bit this time, the cannonballs were bigger than before.

"If you want it that way, that's fine." Steve had his sword transformed into a differently shaped sword. It was in the form of lightning—you will feel my power! —attacked him and this time he was able to mutilate his arm.

—No !— I scream in pain—damn you.

"I told you you didn't know who you were messing with," Steve gloated, hooking his sword to his shoulder.

But that doll had smiled sheepishly.

—How unlucky of you that I have the power to regenerate myself—the arm that was on the ground began to float, little by little its particles adhered until his arm was completely formed—this fight will undoubtedly be one in which Let's have a lot of fun—he stretched his neck—your expression on your face is stimulating for me—he licked one of his arms. He immediately started firing more cannonballs at Steve, but Steve defended himself very well with his sword.

Each cannonball he expelled returned to his body to stick again, but this time something different had happened.

What? —he was surprised—I feel that my body is heavier.

—That's the ability of my sword—Steve smiled —in case you haven't noticed, the sword has the power to make things three times as heavy which for you is a great disadvantage since your entire body is made of metal . James!—he addressed me—it's time for you to flee from here, I'll take care of this.

—Okay—take Harry's body—I'll have to take him to Lakai to damage his wounds— I made the feint to leave, but Marck was in front of me—get out of my way—I sentenced him with my sword.

—But what? —he challenged me with his unarmed body—do you think that because I don't have a sword like you can beat me?—he took a metal beam and began to throw it like a sword towards me .

How can it be so strong? If only he is using his brute force.

—Surprised ?— he boasted—what you see in front of your eyes is the strength at its maximum potential of a human—he grabbed my neck and hit me on the pavement, his strength was great that he had shattered the ground with my back— You should know that we Volt have a force that goes beyond your imagination.

Steve

—I'm tired of your games—the doll attacked me with a cannonball, but I was able to jump falling to its opposite side, this time I turned and hit me again with another bullet.

—What do you not want to fail in your attacks? — I provoked his anger —although you try to do everything you want, you will always be very slow for me .

-So you think? Look—he threw a whip which wrapped my sword lengthwise—since that damned sword is the one causing me problems, I think I'll keep it—we struggled.

JAMES

—Now I just have to wait for you to stop breathing—Marck had me by the neck, I was suffocating and little by little I felt that I was missing air.

In the midst of my desperation I managed to hit Marck's chest with a kick and I was able to free myself from his grip. I instantly fell to my knees and started coughing like a dog.

"Wow... I thought you still didn't have any strength left, but I see that you still have something to offer me." He approached to pick me up again. "It can't be!" He remained static as if he had seen a ghost.

"What 's wrong with you? " I frowned .

—You only look a lot like the boy I once had as my disciple, you know—his face had changed—I've lived long enough to see people grow and die, all life is a cycle and the saddest thing is that you're hands end up ruining everything—he stared at the palms of his hands.

Suddenly you hear us cry.

-Do not! It's my doll—she ran to help him, he was on the ground and couldn't move.

"I'm very sorry master, but that guy has a sword that makes me heavier than normal," he complained, "I should have been more forewarned, please, I'm so sorry," he insisted.

—Don't worry, you did a good job—he took out his amulet and the doll got into it—both of them are too young to die in this life—he turned his back on us—I have to go.

—Hey, wait—try to stop him—don't tell me you're going to give up now—I took my sword still reeling, I wanted to say the battle, but my body didn't help much.

"Let him go." Steve was next to me.

—In life there are many things to do before you die, James, sometimes it's not so good to run, just enjoy the trip too—he kept walking through the shadows.

"Come back here, old man," I yelled at him trying to provoke him, but it was useless.

astrid

"Can you explain to me what's going on here?" Katsuro kept walking towards Pavard .

"Hello assistant," he said, "would you like to work for me ?" I have some quests that might interest you.

"Yes, I want to work with you," Katsuro answered as if he were a robot.

"Then the first thing you have to do is attack that girl," he pointed out.

—Don't do it—I took a few steps back—you're not like that Katsuro , you 're not a murderer, he's using you—my back hit a wall feeling cornered. Immediately Katsuro suffocated me with great force—please let me go! —I begged for my life—I beg you, I was struggling but it was impossible, Katsuro 's arms were stronger than mine—no!—I screamed—you'll end up killing me—a tear rolled down my cheeks, my feet left the ground and my life was about to vanish at the hands of someone I considered my friend.
