Four

Things continued to happen in the underworld, the shadows advanced more and more consuming all the light of hope, the spirits went even further through the barrier of the living. Stalking all the souls on earth.

"We have to continue with our plan, now that boy appeared we have a greater reason to travel to that dimension, we cannot fail our master, the one who wants to raise his hand against him, will die." We will devour your soul completely until we leave a trace, I promise you that our lord will reward us for that—Unknown.

The next day I woke up, it was time to go to university, after all I also had to take care of my daily life. It wasn't the big thing we said, they were always repetitive things, but that was my life.

"But what are you doing sitting there watching me?" Katsuro watched me sitting in front of me. "Did you know it feels a little strange to wake up and the first thing I see is you?" You look like one of those perverted guys.

"You shouldn't be surprised, you know that I'm always close to you, I was also watching something else," my side pointed out. "So I see healthy much faster than I thought, I thought you would wake up with damage."

"What is this?" I lifted my shirt immediately and noticed that I had no sign of the claws that had pierced me last night, not even a scratch.

"It's because of your skill, your spirit also has the facility to regenerate quickly, it's something I hadn't seen in a person who is just beginning to master the technique of transformation, but I suppose you were chosen for something making yourself special."

"Well, that's good, isn't it?" I got out of bed." I have to go to college. "I went into the bathroom, took toothpaste and started brushing my teeth." Even though all this seemed strange to me.

"Hello, James," Astrid smiled at me on his way to his classroom." I hope everything goes well for you today, "he raised his two fingers in the form of peace.

"Hello, Astrid," I smiled the same way. "Don't you find it strange to say hello to someone when things have happened?" Because that's how I feel talking to Astrid like nothing has happened.

"You should rather be happy, I think I was asking you right now everything he looked at that night and I don't think you like that," he was going at my own pace.

We entered the classroom, the same as always there were groups gathered on the one hand and on the other. The girls murmured things that laughed among them, I guess that's how all the girls are, surely they are gossip or those little erotic talks.

"What a shame with you, but I hadn't had time to thank you for the exam," I shook Harry's hand. "I owe you one, my friend."

"Don't worry, they were just simple answers, I also owed you a lot of favors," my shoulder shook. "It was at least what I can do for a friend like you, James.

I immediately saw a new student sitting at the back of the classroom, he was tall, gray hair, with a large physique. I approached him, I wanted to say hello.

"Hello," I stretched out my hand in front of his face almost touching his forehead.

"Hello," his voice was very low.

"I'm giving you my hand," I shook it. "Ore you a little rude?"

"I know, I saw her," he looked up at me, narrowing her with some pressure.

I immediately felt a strange connection when I shook his hand. Katsuro frowned instantly.

"James Brixt," I squeezed his hand with a little strength.

"Mike Schulz," he squeezed my hand even harder. Hell, I wanted to crush my fingers.

•

The night fell immediately. The song of the cricket was heard among all the night sounds.

"Good night, family, the most handsome boy has arrived," he presumed, passing the door of the room when a foot crossed me, making me fall.

"You deserved it." Katrana ran laughing. "The dumbest boy has also come."

"What do you want to play jokes with now?" I hope you can put up with it when I do mine to them." I pointed at her with my index finger waving it.

"Actually, even I saw that coming." Katsuro laughed. "How could you not see him?" I'm surprised James, you have a little sister smarter than you.

I struck it with my eyes.

"What about our parents?" I looked inside and they weren't there.

"They said they would come more night, I think they would have a dinner or something like that." Katrina was on her way to the refrigerator to take something out.

"So there's no dinner?" Because I'm starving—my stomach made strange noises carrying my hand to my abdomen.

"If you want to eat help, otherwise you have to wait even longer."Katrana took some ingredients off the shelves.

"I'll be in my room, I don't have to, after all you cook horrible." I reluctantly went up the stairs.

"The aura that boy had now in the classroom was strange, don't you think?" Katsuro sat at the bedside table waving his feet one after the other.

"The same thing I felt when I shook his hand, it was a little electrifying, it was also quite serious, did you notice that on the first attempt I greeted him he ignored me?" he stripped me of my clothes.

"What also caught my attention was his backpack, I felt that something strong came from it," he crossed one foot on top of the other.

"His backpack?" I frowned, "if I didn't know it, I just felt a strange presence with him, but if you say so..."

"I don't know, there's something strange about Mike, but we'll realize it soon."

•

"Sleaf, wake up," I heard my sister's screaming voice in a low voice.

"Let me sleep, Katrina, I don't want to go to college today," I rolled up in a fetal way, placing the pillows on my ears.

"Wake up, I told you!" he hit my head with his knuckles.

"What's wrong with you?" Are you crazy or what? - I massaged my head.

"Mom says to get up and find out how to leave," he withdrew, closing the door suddenly.

•

I walked to college next to Katsuro when lightning went through my head, it was a lightning of poor energy that made my skin bristise, pissing me off immediately.

"Is something wrong, James?" he came back to me.

—N... No—I stuttered—it's okay—I remained static. Deep down, I had felt something. It was a memory where Mike was in danger.

We kept walking when another lightning came, shuddering me.

"Mike," I whispered very low.

"What did you say?" I want to know by frowning.

"It's Mike, his life is in danger," I stared at him.

"And how do you know?" "This time I can't feel anything," he closed his eyes. "no, I definitely can't feel it.

I closed my eyes and concentrated, a flashing Aura ran through my body, I felt my soul fly through the city, my body was still in the same place, it was a kind of radar, I could see all the souls of the people walking down the street, until I found Mike's soul.

"I have it," I opened my eyes excitedly.

"How did you do that?" his eyes went out.

"Come, take my hand and do your teleportation, I left a trail in her house so you can find it," we vanished.

Mike was lying down, but his body was damaged, his clothes were torn and suddenly it faded in our noses.

"What happened to Mike?" I wanted to know how to look around me without being able to find anything.

"I don't know, but this time I do feel a spirit hovering around, it is most likely that he is the cause of his disappearance," fading too.

We appeared in a huge building, its walls were dark, little clarity entered it, I could barely see the palm of my hand.

"Look," I pointed out. "Mike was lying on the floor with his head bowed to his shoulder and next to him was his backpack."

"Stay here," he ordered, "this time I will go to the front, he took his sharp katanas." This job is for someone more experienced.

Katsuro went to Mike's body, he looked mistreated with scratches on his arms and legs, but the strange thing was that there was nothing in the room where we were.

"Apparently he is still alive, his vital signs are weak, but even his heart beats," he took his wrist making sure.

Immediately, a spirit emerged from inside the ground trying to devour Katsuro, he dodged him, impacting the spirit on the ceiling leaving a large opening.

"Wow, it seems that my banquet will be succulent, three souls is very fancy for me." It was a horrible spirit." Let me introduce myself, I am Loki, the spirit of rebellion.

His appearance was similar to a minotaur, black wings, in his arms he had a kind of knives attached to his skin from his elbows to his wrists, pointed horns that made him look fearful.

He immediately attacked abKatsuro at an impressive speed, he dodged him using a kind of spell that caused fire to come out of the palm of his hand by burning part of Loki's body.

"I did it," Katsuro went down to the ground in slow motion.

"You will need more than that to be able to defeat me," he mocked. "Take this, damn!" he moved at high speed, wounding Katsuro's abdomen with one of his knives.

"Are you okay?" I tried to intervene when I saw his wound, he was bleeding.

"Leave me," he was squatting with his hand on his abdomen full of blood. He rejoined—don't underestimate me, stupid—he put his katanas in the shape of an X. He raised his power even more, his body was luminous, he attacked Loki with his two katanas, but he stopped him with his sharp knives, sparks could be seen in the clash of his two sharp weapons. Loki's power looked hand in hand with Katsuro's.

"Make no mistake with me, vigilante," he gave him a header that caused Katsuro to destroy a wall with his body.

It seemed that he would lose, but I trusted Katsuro.

"Come on, get up!" Just as you encouraged me to fight, I also encourage you, you can," he shouted at him from my place.

"James, this spirit is stronger than the one you faced," he rose among the rubble, "but I promise you that an insect like him will not be able to do it with me."

A fight was unleashed, Mike's life was in danger, on the other hand there was Katsuro and that spirit called Loki that apparently was stronger than we expected. I could not intervene since it was an order that I had to wait.

I noticed that Mike's backpack was constantly moving, this time if I felt a very gloomy presence, I approached to see its interior when suddenly I felt a hand holding me, it was Mike.

"Mike, it's good that you woke up," I tried to lift him up, but he didn't react, his hand kept holding me. "Mike?" I looked at him. His head rose exposing his eyes. They were totally black and their appearance was frightening.

"Where do you think you're going?" His voice sounded distorted, it was definitely not Mike's. "don't even think about opening my backpack." Take your disgusting hands off her—he pressed even harder with her hands.

"Get away, James, he is bewitched, the one you see is not your friend, he is being used by this spirit," Katsuro shouted.

"That's right, right now your friend is my slave, I can do whatever I want with his body," he laughed mockingly.

Damn, I was in a difficult situation, on the one hand Katsuro had a strong battle with that spirit and on the other was my friend under a spell that was transforming him into a monster, but... What are you supposed to do right now to remedy it?
