The dark guardian

C27

LORD

"Have you seen anything?" If you see something suspicious, do not hesitate to notify your supervisors—a captain was giving orders to his soldiers, apparently they were looking for us, there were hundreds of soldiers, which was a very considerable number to be able to have a battle against them. I had to stay in the shadows. He had to know the precise moment to attack. 

I have no idea where I'm standing and I don't know where the boys are either, I'll have to keep looking for them .” I kept moving low-key trying not to attract too much attention. 

JAMES

—How arrogant you are, but get ready because you will know my true power, I have only used a third of my power with you—I was determined to kill him

—Words...—he laughed—you've only been words until now boy, words and more words—he used his fearsome sword trying to hurt me again. 

Where is he? - It had been an illusion, I turned my neck and he was almost on top of me with his sword raised, I didn't know how he had made that movement without me noticing. 

"What slow movements you have." His pointed sword was at such a short distance from me . Fortunately, I dodged it with difficulty. It would have been catastrophic , maybe it would have hurt me in a lethal way. 

It won't be that easy ." Damn , there it came again, blocking from the front, we collided our swords struggling from one side to the other, measuring our powers. I immediately noticed that the hilt of his sword had changed, now his hilt also had a sharp edge just like his sword making it faster and more lethal. 

"What was that you just said?" Weren't you just using a third of your power? - He attacked me continuously, each time he was faster, leaving me defenseless. I take advantage of a space that creates and in that way he landed a thrust on my shoulder—that, it bleeds, it gives me emotion when my opponents are bleeding.

"Did you check your side?" I pointed out , he was also bleeding. 

" What?" he got pissed off "it was just a little carelessness I had, but I bet you this won't happen again." It is evident that you are getting more and more tired and you will reach your limit. I have been noticing it for a long time.

Always bragging a lot, Abra,” I launched into the air, plummeting, but I couldn't hit him, he was moving too fast.

"My turn," he gripped his right hand hitting my forehead, making me fall against a very solid wall. My sword was at my side and my body was totally crushed. 

—Is that all?— he cleaned his sword—I wanted so much to see his true power, but it seems to be in another life—he pretended to whimper to mock—I think that after all the difference in our powers has been marked. 

— I accept that you are strong, but you can't hurt me anymore, Abra—I rejoined taking my sword again—everything is finished. 

"What the hell are you talking about cocky?" I just ripped you to shreds and yet you keep talking nonsense, I'm sure the blow I just dealt you has left you crazy. 

—It's not inconsistencies, I just figured out your battle style, I can only see all your repetitive movements. You don't have a chance. 

KAI LOGAN

"What is that?" I pointed out, narrowing my eyes, "it looked like a sea of people. " 

—I think they are soldiers, Kai—he took my hand, hugging it, I could feel how I was trembling with fear—don't worry, we'll hide here—we climbed a huge tree, we stood on the wrong top so that they couldn't watch. 

—death, death!— they sang passing below us, they were thousands of soldiers prepared for a battle. They carried their swords and shields, scaring them to the sound of their song. 

"Do you think it's because of our arrival?" Astrid was frowning with concern.

"It's the safest thing, but for nothing in the world do you move or do anything foolish, against that number of soldiers we would never have a chance ." Your army. 

JAMES

Abra and I were face to face, I could feel a nerve that came from him, I even noticed that he chewed as a symbol of anxiety, that was something that I had to take advantage of in my favor, when the enemy is in a situation like that it means that soon he will start to make many mistakes. 

—What's wrong, Abra?— I see you're a little nervous or are these my ideas? It seems that you have seen death itself, I only hope that you have not given up hope of fighting, but if you are not going to attack—take my sword, placing it in front of my face—I will!—jump over him , taking my sword in profile—I'll tell you one more time Open the one who won't be able to hold his sword will be you , you will die under my sword!—he attacked with great force, he placed his sword in front of him to repel my attack but it was impossible, a radiant flash occurred when our swords collided, he stopped my attack at first, but it wasn't for long, my sword was stronger than his, cutting it in half so that I made a deep cut on his cheek. His face paled, he was seeing the demon himself in front of his bloody face, his eyes were fixed on me , I could tell how scared he was inside knowing that he would soon cease to exist. 

—It can't be possible—I whisper under my breath. — Do you think this is over?—he got rid of the shortest part of his sword—but you're wrong boy, not because you gave me this wound and seeing me bleed makes you victorious before this battle. And this...—he raised his power disproportionately—this won't end as long as I can take my sword and have life! —he had gone crazy in just seconds—do you really want to end this battle? —he smiled schizophrenic "Because the only way you can defeat me is if you kill me." 

—don't make me do that, Abra,— lower my sword—just accept that this battle is over. You can't win her so give up, I'll be merciful if you do. I am not known for being a ruthless subject with my enemies. 

— ha! You knew it, you don't have the guts of a murderer to do it and don't even dream that I'll give up, I'll repeat it again: this battle isn't over until one of the two dies—his eyes darkened more and more—die! !...—he pounced with unpredictable movements, he had lowered his guard by exposing his body in such a simple way, hatred had blinded him making so many mistakes in a few seconds. 

Thank you Lakai , for having taught me the virtue of waiting for the right moment to attack, for being patient trying to predict the opponent's movements, today is the day that so much sacrifice will bear fruit—I remembered the training I had with him , well it was time put all that knowledge into practice. 

—I'm sorry, Abra, it's all over so far—my fury surrounded me, my sword roared like a ferocious wolf with its prey in front of it—now!...my sword had completely pierced his body, inflicting enormous damage. 

The battle was over, there was a winner and that was me. The power of my sword had been much greater than his , but even greater was my will to continue fighting, that nothing or no one could take away from me. 

—I can recognize that you are a great fighter—he fell to his knees covered in blood—at least I had the happiness of dying under the sword of someone as powerful as you—he closed his eyes falling face down. 

ASAP

I started running trying to come up with a plan to counter Cadabra 's attack or else it would be dust in the wind, but to my bad luck in such desperation my head couldn't think straight. 

—Where are we this? - I turned my neck back, but I couldn't see anything, surely he used that damn power again. 

—here I am—he reappeared in the air with his sword pointed at my head—you know, this walking behind you is starting to tire me a little, until when will you really fight me? I think I'll finish this now.— His sword was beginning to burn. He began to surround me quickly creating a tornado, he placed the tip of his sword on the ground—you can see what is below—he smiled . 

—damn ! — there was a huge black hole, he had done it with his sword. I could feel the force of his attraction slowly dragging me down. 

JAMES

I began to walk looking for the exit or another door that would take me to where the others were. I guess he had every dimension, although he had no idea where he would have to walk. 

—wait...—he was still alive writhing in pain, I thought my attack had been enough to have killed him. 

—What do you want? —I stopped short—please don't think about continuing to fight anymore, just look at your body, you're not able to move from there.—I approached crouching down—do you have something to tell me? Because if not, he dies quietly. 

"I just want to tell you that even if I haven't killed you, someone else will later," he spat at me. It was something disgusting and disgusting—don't trust that power you have. 

—So that's how you plan to defend yourself—wipe my face—I need you to tell me something—I stopped myself from killing him—I need you to tell me where a vigilante named Katsuro is . 

ASAP

Damn—I looked into the hole and saw how there were demons hungry to devour me, their claws starting to stick out trying to grab my feet. 

—seal spell !— I managed to close its opening out of danger momentarily.

JAMES

you say, Katsuro ? That damn…" He pursed his lips.

"I see you know him, what can you say about it?" I took his bloody chin.

"I know him, but what the hell does he have to do with us?" He looked at me with that hateful look.

—simple, the fact that I have come here is with the intention of saving him— I put my sword aside. 

-What have you said? You're completely crazy if you've come for him , alone .” He laughed mockingly.

—Of course I didn't come alone, my friends come with me who are also lost. 

—I guess if that's the case, they must also be strong like you. 

—something like that, but that's not the priority. I need to know how to get there. 

—It's definitely the stupidest thing I've ever heard, that humans like you come to this dimension trying to rescue a vigilante, but it 's okay, I'll help you. Continue in that direction —he pointed out— when you get there there will be a portal that will take you directly to the dimension where they have it, you can distinguish the temple where it is, it is black and on its roof there is a statue of a scale. 

"Are you sure about that?" I frowned doubtfully. 

—You shouldn't doubt my word, I do it for the simple fact that you defeated me like a gentleman and it's the least I can do for someone who defeated me. So success in your crazy mission. Ah, I missed something, be careful with the Dark that protects that dimension, you should lower your power otherwise it will immediately find you. This fight
