The dark guardian

C49

KATSURO

I walked at the pace that the escorts led me chained inside a long corridor, from there you could see the great view I had of the city, the city where I had grown up and that would now witness my death. At the end of the corridor I could see a silhouette that was approaching little by little, it was Hit Borius , I was surprised that he came to see me, when I have not had a great friendship with him .

"Hello, Katsuro , how are you?" He narrowed his eyes so that his eyes were barely visible.

"How am I supposed to answer your question?" I glared at him, "I can't really tell you, because as you can see I'm going straight to my death. "

—But how rude of you to treat me that way, Katsuro , I am a superior being so you should respect me a little, but do n't worry, I won't tell anyone else about this—he began to smile—we both know each other from much earlier.

—Stop fooling around, Hit Borius , why did you come? Because I don't think so to greet me and show me polite gestures.

—Well, I'm not here for anything in particular, Katsuro , casually I was taking a walk here in the palace and now that I see you I just wanted to stop by to see how you were doing

I don't think so, he and I have never gotten along even before when I joined the vigilante army when at that time I stayed with my teacher, he and my teacher always talked and I was just by his side waiting for him to finish the conversation, but when I met him for the first time I felt a shock of a very dark energy, he has never inspired confidence in me, it is the date I always feel that when he is watching. The way he acts and his narrowed eyes do not inspire me at all good, I feel that inside this guy is the same devil and although I was with my teacher all the time I felt like he suffocated me with that terrifying look, so much so that I didn't I didn't want to blink for a single second, to tell the truth I've always hated it, I always looked for the most insignificant weakness in people to use the infiltration method. I had never felt like this because of the presence of someone, but my interior always makes me reject it and it must be for a reason.

—What's wrong, Katsuro ? —I looked into my eyes—it seems that you're in a trance, by the way, can you feel the presence of Jinsu ?

In fact , for a while he felt his power that was diminishing little by little until it remained in a thread.

" Yes , how do you know?" I frowned .

—Well, because I saw when he was fighting Himura , it was a fight to the death, he is still alive, but being so weak his power will soon die. The worst of all is that he said he came with the intention of rescuing you, but he ended up in pieces.

—Don't you dare talk like that about him in front of me , Hit Borius , be very careful—I wanted to kill him at that moment.

"Are you afraid?" He looked at me .

—why should I be afraid?— I didn't understand what he meant

—You won't be afraid that all your friends will die trying to save you, will you ? Knowing that they want to save you must make this very painful. I'll make you a proposal—he opened his eyes—do you want me to save you right now?— The guards who were with me were scared as soon as Hit Borius said that.—I could save your life from this senseless execution if you want—he He approached, staying in front of me—I can save you and your friends if you want.

—but why would he? I don't understand what his reason for doing it would be and I even know that James is also his enemy

—Do you think I'm kidding?— He came very close to my face—well yes , obviously I'm kidding, but I could see your face when I told you that, it's funny to see the desperation you carry—he left— I see you on the guillotine .

—damn son of a bitch!— I tried to hurt him, but the guards stopped me apart from the fact that he was chained.

—Don't let your guard down, couple of inept—I was fighting against Anthrax and Slayer at the same time and their swords—if that's the case, they make everything easier for me—I hit Slayer , catapulting him into a wall, at that moment, Anthrax was distracted—pay attention here idiot—I hurt him with my sword—this is completely ridiculous , to begin with I don't know who the hell I consider you as Dark , come on and fight you are not dead yet—hook my sword on my shoulder—at least die like real men and release your seal number two.

—What do you know about the honor of a Dark ? If you are a traitor by joining the intruders—Anthrax rejoins.

—Stop there Anthrax—said Slayer coming from further back—leave it to me—he took his sword lighting it with it—from further back I always knew that you are a war machine that feeds on blood and hatred while fighting against your opponents, you have always had that reputation—it was getting closer and closer—as I suspected, I always knew you were a traitor or now you show yourself to the light helping those guys and even fighting against us threatening to cause more chaos in the central palace and all because of your thirst for blood and your obsession to fight for no reason, am I right?

—I don't know if you're right or not, but you definitely have to say things in a very clear way, stop talking for no reason, if you really hate me, let 's attack me and kill me once and for all

"I don't hate you, Masked Wolf, at no time have I told you that I hate you, I'm just telling you that you're treacherous and want to take away the peace that has cost us so much, and that's if I won't allow it." He stood in front of me and I release your seal number two. Immediately we entered a dimension that he had created—what did you want to see my seal number two with, well here it is, everything you see around us is my seal number two, now tell me—he was approaching me, stalking me—what do you think ?— placed in front of my face—you can't see or hear anything when you're in here

What is this? I can't see or hear any sound

"Doesn't that seem surprising to you, a world without sight or ears?" This dimension is like a dark and silent hell, I have the power to do whatever I want and do you know the most important thing of all? That the only one who can get out of here is me.

I tried to attack him, but he had no vision, it was totally dark.

—It's useless for you to do that, your movements here are very slow and what with the darkness, no matter how many skills you have, it will be useless. The dark always causes some fear.

Instantly it hurt him suddenly.

—What the hell? —he walked away from me—as I knew, you're a kind of demon that doesn't have the slightest fear of such power, but I'll have to attack you right now—he approached through the darkness with his sword.

Meanwhile, James continued to train hard against Oz, time was running out and the final fight was near, on the other hand , the two minions of Maked Wolf were fighting against the minions of Anthrax and Slayer, in a fight to the death where They are not only measuring their strength but also their pride as soldiers. Jinsu was being attended by his companions, apparently he had not died yet, arriving in time to damage his wounds, everything was going well on the one hand since no one of our friends had died yet, but on the other hand Maked Wolf was under the Slayer number two stamp.

_____________________________________________________________________________

—It can't be—Slayer was scared—you don't have the sense of sight, touch or smell and much less you can use your power in this dimension—he attacked me, but even so I dodged again—How is that possible?—he He withdrew as soon as he tried to hurt him.—I don't know how you manage to move in the middle of this darkness that I have created, but you make me believe that you really are a demon, Masked Wolf.

This time he almost hurt me seriously, his seal number two is quite annoying since I can't see or hear anything, all I have left is my conscience, that way I can dodge his attacks, that you can't kill me and I'm already starting to cause damage, but this way of fighting is a bit boring, I'm used to cutting and killing. Devils! I don't like to fight in the shadows, I'm a guy who likes head-to-head battles

Are you insane or what ? I do n't know why even when you're finished you smile, Masked Wolf,—I could hear footsteps coming towards me at high speed.—You're too dangerous to continue living—he pierced his sword into my abdomen.

—I have you—I took him by the hand—everything has been part of my strategy, I knew that if I let myself be hurt by you, that way I would have you closer—I grabbed his arm, he was struggling to escape—try the edge of my sword—I struck him with it across his chest.

"It can't be possible," he complained, "I can't lose like that." I swear in the name of justice that I will finish you off—he lunged at me with his sword, but I was able to stop her with one hand, seriously injuring him—this is not over—his body was bleeding to death and the dimension where we were had completely disappeared , that indicated to me that his death was near.— not yet.

—Of course I'm done, I can't fight a guy who is already more dead than alive—I turned on my heel leaving there—What can you do in that condition? Kill me I don't think so

—I swear that even if it costs me my life I will stop you—I shout with courage—I will use all the power I have left

"If your wish is so much, I'll fulfill it" I wielded my sword against him , but Anthrax suddenly intervened.

—You don't need to sacrifice yourself, Slayer—he told him—this man will never understand the meaning of life

—until you finally deigned to fight me, Anthrax—showed their true identity.

"You don't seem surprised at all." He looked over his shoulder at me.

—the appearance has nothing to do with the way of combat—I observed it—I just wonder if your bestial aspect will also merge with the bestiality of your power, that's what I'm interested in.

—so that's what interests you, apparently you don't care about anything more than that in your opponents, that's your ability, don't think I'm like, Slayer, I won't show you the same compassion that he showed you—he invoked his seal number two. Out of it came a huge dragon-like monster with a huge sword—the battle to the death is just beginning. Masked Wolf, just how you like bloody hateful fights—the huge beast was coming at me .

—a fight to the death?— I smiled like a madman, that's what I loved the most—go ahead!—my eyes shine with excitement, it was what I loved the most.

—The time has come, we will start the execution—the leader of all the Dark made the announcement to everyone who was there

The guillotine was in front of me and I could smell death everywhere, Dark after Dark came to the place to witness my death, I had never felt as much fear as the one you are feeling at that moment. There was no escape and I had no hope at all

—Do you have something to say before your execution?—the leader asks me, they accommodated me in the guillotine and the hooded executioner was ready for the order.

"That's right," I replied with my eyes to the ground, "I only have one thing to say."
