The dark guardian

Mike 

entered a temple where there were many soldiers, but of low category, my transformation was too much for them, they were just simple garbage that obstructed my path. I continued walking towards the other level without much difficulty, apparently there was no worthy opponents for me at that time, my power was superior and that made me trust myself more than necessary, but deep down I wanted someone with the same abilities to appear, it was just like a measurement of power, I wanted to know the limit of my own can. 

—Where are you going, boy?—a voice came from behind stopping me in my tracks, I turned on my heels and there was a guy in silver armor—I'm the vigilante Barclays, the most feared in this area, I bet you'll be trembling now. afraid to see my powerful sword, you should have chosen another path because this is undoubtedly your path to death—brags.—surely you have noticed that this path has become a path with no way out unless you pass over my corpse —I take your sword by the hilt raising his sword, he created a kind of shield with just the quick movement of his hands—surprised right? Don't worry, this will be quick, stupid boy. —He waved his sword more—it's understandable that you're like that, with that pale face, it's the typical expression my opponents put on when they see the great power of the great, Barclays.

—Shut up you damn smug, you've got me tired of your gossip— I used my claws to devour his arms, immediately cut off his head and squeezed his heart—I didn't know that there were smug guys like him in this world too, too bad it wasn't a worthy opponent for me . 

I have noticed that my power has increased all this time, before I had limitations with my transformation, but now I can spend more time in this state without my body feeling bad, but I must continue until the door that will take me to another level of this palace. 

—wow, that was great, I had never seen a wolf with such strength, it only took you a few seconds to shred the body of that braggart.— a guy appeared inside me blocking the door—I'm glad my name is, Virex , I am the Dark of this dimension—his appearance was cool, kind and gentle, he didn't seem like someone ruthless—it's nice to meet you. 

"So you're a Dark ?" To those who have them as the high hierarchy of each dimension—I saw it and I couldn't believe it, but if it had appeared here it's because they considered me a threat, which was good news for me . 

—That's right, but what fame we've earned, right?—he smiled while scratching his head—we're ordinary people, it's not that big of a deal.—the subject seemed to be calm with everything that was happening. 

"I understand, but you're spoiling my past, I have to go to the other dimension ." My face was expressionless, it was the only thing that mattered to me at that moment. 

—Hey, how bitter you are, you're just a young man and you act like that at an early age, life is too short for you to behave like that, you know? Not even I, who am older than you, see me in that state .” He shook his head. 

-I have asked you in a good way, I also see that you are a nice subject for which I would not like to go to extremes. 

so, there is a serious concern between us and it seems that neither of us wants to hurt each other, but you have overlooked something and it is that my duty is not to let anyone pass through here—he smiled, narrowing his eyes—but also I guess you have no intention of going back the way you came 

—Indeed, I could never go back the way I came, I have a mission just like my friends— I frowned. 

"It's what I imagined and it's a shame, you're a good boy and I wouldn't want to hurt you, I'm not like the other Dark around here, without any mercy ." You could see how relaxed he was.

—If you don't move, you leave me no other option—I cast a huge spell towards him, I thought that would be enough, but it wasn't like that, he used only one hand to stop my attack disintegrating it like foam. He hadn't even moved an inch. 

"Well, well... apparently you have a lot of power, just look how you have left the floor of this temple with the drag of your attack" he said so calmly "too bad the truth, but you leave me no choice but to attack you 

After so many attacks that I have made uninterruptedly, he has disintegrated them all like nothing, he is very fast and very strong, he has only used only one hand, he has not even unsheathed his sword, it cannot be possible and the worst of all is that my body is weakening very fast, the previous battles are taking effect on it . Damn, I never thought that the power of a Dark was abysmal. 

"Do you still want to continue with your plan to go through this temple?" I have been generous with you only receiving all your attacks, if you can see I have not unsheathed my sword for the same reason, I do not want to hurt you, so reconsider the proposal I made to go back the way you came, I promise not to hurt you. You have great power, you are young and you have smivho potential ahead of you, but with what you have you will not be able to beat me. 

—I thank you for such an offer, but even if you are stronger than me, that won't stop the desire I have to go through that door— I ran with great speed towards his body to attack him with my claws, but to no avail, he had vanished in front of me. to my eyes, appearing to the side. 

—I can see from here that you are very tired of using the same technique over and over again—he whispered in my ear, leaving me paralyzed, instantly he only used a breath to send me flying through the air.— come on, accept that you are no match for My , I don't know what you cling to so much, but I have given you the opportunity to retire as a good warrior. 

—I will not return, if I came here with my friends it is to avoid the death of an innocent person—I rejoined with my injured body. 

—Don't tell me it's about Katsuro , that rebellious vigilante who challenged the highest authorities here—he crossed his arms—are you sure you can risk your life that way for someone who isn't worth it? I don't think that's a good reason for you to come to this unknown world. 

—Let me tell you that we humans have a heart that you will never be able to understand, for that reason it is enough for me and my friends to have come here!— I shouted with all authority. 

—Well, I tried in many ways, but if you're so determined I'll have to use my sword to end your life—he unsheathed his sword creating a whirlwind around him. 

Immediately when I saw him, I reacted by running with speed and skill to be able to hit him up close since the previous attacks I made were long and they failed to hit him. He had one thing in mind and that was not to fail, if he had come this far it was because he had shown himself to be someone strong, someone capable of having enough power to defeat as many enemies as he came across . 

A VAGUE THOUGHT OF MIKE IN HIS CHILDHOOD. 

still remember him, he was only ten years old, my family was a very united family, I had a brother who was much older than me, usually on weekends we visited the countryside, because there was a farm of my parents where they consumed everything we produced, from eggs, milk and meat. Dad was an expert in roasts, he liked to make them over charcoal accompanied by corn or tortillas, we lived a full life and with great security, we were simple but very hard-working people. As for me , I liked to work in the fields, growing all kinds of fruits. 

In my school there was a problem and that is that they called me the weirdo, the weirdo because most of the time I spent alone and without a friend, but that was not important to me , because deep down I was very happy, my brother was the opposite, he was an outgoing boy and quite popular at school. I didn't get to have friends like a kid my age, I loved the weekends because I knew picnics were coming up. 

I will never forget this day, very early I had gotten ready to go out to the farm, that day we would travel from home. My brother had had a big argument with them so much that he got angry and left the house. That day only dad, mom and I were traveling. They were in the pilot and co-pilot seats, while I was in the back seats happily playing with my toys. There were still a few hours to go, but the traffic was heavy and that day dad decided to go another way to save time. Mom would know if what she was doing was right or wrong. 

It was until then that we were on a straight at full speed, a truck that was coming to the front loaded with chemical products crashed in front of us, I don't remember anything until I woke up on a stretcher. Next to me was my brother sleeping, I woke him up and asked him what had happened, in an insistent silence and looked away from me. I insisted again asking what had happened and he gave me the tragic news that our parents had passed away. It was terrible news, my heart was broken. 

Years later, we lived alone, in a house on the outskirts of the city, I had fallen into drugs for a long time, I lived in lawsuits and the crimes in my long list were added, instead my brother was very different from me , he was a good man, an exemplary man. He always worried about me , I remember that once we had certain confrontations for which he wanted to admit me to a rehabilitation center, I left the house for a while, abandoning him and abandoning his absurd ideas of interning me in one of those centers. 

Months passed and I was still the same, on many occasions I was close to death due to an overdose and stuff, I only thought about that tragic day, how much I was happy with them. I got news on my cell phone and it was that my brother was in a hospital fighting between life and death due to a terrible disease. At the moment the news hit me like a bucket of cold water, I immediately went to the hospital. I arrived and he was in a prostrate bed, with some of those devices that measure your heart rate, I was able to talk certain things with him , but he told me to promise him something. That something was that I got off drugs and fought for myself , that our parents would feel satisfied seeing that their children were good children. I cried like never before, I took his hand, kissed it and made him that promise. 

My brother passed away weeks later and from that time I promised myself to be a good man, a man who would not rejoice with the evil agent and since then I will not allow more injustices in front of me . 

BACK TO BATTLE

I will do this attack for you brother, I will not let another injustice come before my eyes, I promised you and I will keep that promise I made to you—I was moving determined to take the life of this Dark that was in front of me . 

—Take this—my claws had grown in a more lethal way, but apparently everything had been in vain, it had disappeared in my face and instantly I felt something that burned like a fire penetrated my body leaving me totally in Shock
