Chapter 17:

Cap 16 - Strength and Weakness

Eyes of the Mind


"What is this place? "He asked Elijah as he looked around.

In an instant, Elijah then took a full punch in the face that caused him to hit his head against a wall causing it to crack on impact, after receiving the blow the man fell unawakened while Haruka lengthened his right arm.

"I intended to take all of you with me, after I saw that dagger breaking and the ogre raising his hand, I just thought, is if I'm going to go so I'm going to take them both with me.

"A suicidal thought for a hunter. "Morgan said as he stared at Elijah on the ground.

" I follow the discipline of online gaming, I'll fall taking with me as much as I can.

" What are you doing here? Haruka...

Kirien's muffled voice caught the girl's attention, Haruka at the same time turned his eyes to Succubus.

" Morceguinha? Why do you have two of you?

" Oh, i'm so sorry. This girl is a copy of me...

When Kirien turned her eyes to the creature, she realized that her mirrored copy had a look of extreme hatred in the direction of Haruka, Morgan, and Elijah.

"What a fantastic twist, Haruka the apprentice of the Dragon Master, keeping in touch with a demon, you do not seem to be different from us now girl.

"I'm quite different, you're fifth-rate villains, and I'm a heroine without a mask.

After hearing the girl's words, Morgan drew a smile while taking off his long tunic, after removing that garment, Haruka can see what would be a genetically modified body, that man's muscles besides being much more developed were marked with black veins along with metal parts that were trapped in specific parts of his body, like his chest, arms and spine.

"That's what you're seeing... are the apex of military evolution, the future of the next wars, I am the first project of an advanced soldier.

"Taking off my clothes in front of a minor is what really surprises me the most. "Haruka said with a vague look.

"The organizations you follow so clinging to, have your empire stained with blood, after they realize it. ..

"It's stopped! I don't feel like hearing any sad stories or anything like that.

As soon as he heard that Morgan threw a punch in the direction of the girl, however, Haruka easily deflected the punch moving quickly to the man's right in a slight jump.

"Have you slowed down? Where's the speed you used against me before?

"I didn't slow down.

Haruka was then hit hard by a cube coming from behind her back, with the impact the girl was flung forward towards Morgan, the man then grabbed the girl by the neck still in the air and lifted her up.

"You fight using a sword, what do you intend to do without your weapon?

Haruka at that time used not only her magic but also her body enhancement to force the man's arm in an attempt to escape, however, even using all her strength she could not even open the man's hand.

"No use, resisting will not change anything, this body was created to replace the hunters in the struggles against spiritual threats, for me you have already become obsolete.

"Shut up!

Haruka then used his invulnerability ability, after using magia the girl suddenly passed Morgan's hand, realizing it, Morgan tried to grab the girl again, however, her hands passed the girl without being able to touch her.

" What magic is that?

Quickly Haruka distanced herself from Morgan jumping back, at that moment Haruka was nervous, she couldn't see a way to win that fight, and this was very evident to Morgan.

"You have some interesting skills, this magic you have is the same as the hunter who betrayed the ACP... Maybe killing you is a waste, the same men who raised me can also increase your fighting potential, why don't you join us?

"I don't feel like becoming a technological freak, that stop there they made with you, just to think that I can be like this me it disgusts.

" He has the power to change what you think, why do you think that none of the elves we bring into our world have ever returned or appeared in public?

"What do you mean by that?

Morgan then took the cube he held the elves haruka had helped free.

" These creatures are highly appreciated in our world, the project of advanced soldiers was created by a joint initiative of all military organizations in the world, or almost all, however, because of the investments that you hunters use in your hunts, the world's military ended up with little budget, but over time we found a way to start the project, many powerful people began to have enough interest in these creatures, they then started funding our project, all we need to do was bring these pests to them.

"You're marketing their lives and for what? To pay for this crap you call an advanced soldier?!

"Exactly, I don't care if they use these creatures as slaves or punching bags, they're just commodities to me, after scientists erase their minds, they'll be ready to be traded.

"Erasing their minds...

"Elas have become dolls without souls, they do not remember anything about their old lives, they are like hollow shells.

" Humans are despicable beings. "It said the mirrored version of Kirien.

After listening to the creature's words, Morgan turned his face towards her, Haruka at the same moment quickly fired in the direction of the man taking a knee to Morgan's face, after receiving the impact of the girl's blow, Morgan only took a step back as if he had not even felt damage.

"Haven't you noticed yet? You can't beat me.

Quickly the girl distanced herself from the man again, when Morgan turned his eyes to Haruka, he saw the girl with a scary countenance as she stared at him with a look of disgust and anger.

"You've managed to make me very angry, don't expect me to let you walk out of here alive.

" You? Let me out of here? That's funny, show me what you can do then.

Morgan then materialized a cube that quickly advanced on the girl, Haruka at the same time swerved from the cube, however, after avoiding Morgan's attack, the girl noticed that he had disappeared without a trace, she quickly began to look around looking for the man.

"Behind you! " Kirien shouted as he pointed behind the girl.

After hearing Kirien's words, Haruka just felt a breeze approaching next to her face, she didn't even have time to react, Morgan hit a full punch at the girl making her fly away destroying a series of stacked boxes and crashing into a wall soon after.

"I said, it's no use trying to beat me, you're slower and weaker.

At that moment, Haruka couldn't even hear what Morgan was saying, her vision was blurred and the only thing she heard was a buzz coming from her ears.

Morgan then began to walk slowly toward the girl who was still on the ground without sketching any reaction, however, before he could get any closer to the girl, a high-speed dart hit his left arm electrifying him at the same moment, quickly Morgan tore off the dart with the other arm and broke it.

"Are you still here your plagues?

At that moment Kirien could not move a muscle from his body, the presence of that man left the girl with an absolute fear.

"Why are you helping that human? "Kirien's mirrored version said as he stared at her with a look of surprise.

" Haruka... is different from the others, she is a nice girl... I can't just stand here and watch her get beat up by this thing.

At the same time after saying those words, Kirien came across Morgan who was within inches of her, the man's scary countenance left the succubus speechless, she couldn't speak or move, the pressure wouldn't even let her breathe.

" Interesting, two twin succubus ? I have a question before I kill you, what's your relationship with that girl?

" Human damn! "It said the mirrored version of Kirien that he faced Morgan with extreme hatred.

Morgan then punched the creature into the corner of the room violently, and he then turned his eyes to Kirien who still could not move and just stared at his mirrored version that had been flung away.

"Don't think your death will be quick. "Morgan said as he approached his hand toward the succubus.

Meanwhile Haruka saw himself again in that empty white world within his own mind.

"You are weak... Is that why he trained you? This body, it doesn't belong to you...

"Who are you?!

A strange black shape began to materialize in front of the girl in that strange white world, Haruka at the same moment was amazed by the scary countenance that the creature had now different from the first time he saw her, her silhouette was now more detailed and almost emulate a human body, she had extremely yellow eyes that shone in a way that almost blinded the girl.

"You do not deserve this body," the creature said as he approached his hands from the girl's neck.

Haruka then slapped the creature's hand away from his arm suddenly.

"I'm not afraid of you.

"I become stronger every moment.... the day will come when my hatred will swallow you.

"Spare me these ridiculous phrases, it is not you who decides my future.

"You're very wrong about that... your future... it's going to be next to my... my destiny will overtake everything you believe, until it consumes you entirely.

Haruka then woke up scared as she looked around, and it was then that she saw Morgan approaching Kirien who now crawled on the ground in fear as she stared at the man.

The girl then got up and saw a series of old swords that were inside a box she had broken on impact, she then quickly took one of them and began to carry her magic on her, quickly the girl struck her soul cut in morgan's direction which was struck by surprise from behind, the man then turned quickly looking at the girl.

"Our joke isn't over yet, you idiot...

"You can't even stand up, what do you intend to do against me?

"Come here so we can find out...

Haruka then fired over Morgan firing a series of quick blows at the man, Morgan in part only defended himself with his arms, even being pressured by the girl's constant attacks, Morgan was not even scratched by the girl's attacks.

"Is this some kind of joke?! "Haruka said as he struck Morgan non-stop.

" I said that's useless.

Morgan then began to walk forward toward the girl while holding her arms in a defensive position in front of her face and chest, Haruka now began to be pressured by the man, even attacking non-stop the girl could not even scratch the man.

In a slow motion, Morgan positioned his left arm back and quickly punched the girl, haruka then positioned his sword as a shield in front of Morgan's blow.

In an instant, Morgan's punch destroyed the sword the girl was using, then the blow hit haruka's arm to support the sword and threw it back to hit the wall, shortly after crashing into the wall Haruka fell to the ground.

"What the hell did they do to you?! — Haruka said as he tried to get up.

"Make no mistake, you're so weak you can't even scratch me.

Suddenly a high-pitched sound ran through the room, Morgan began to search for the origin of that strange soam.

" Humans... Are the disease that one day corrupted this world, I can not allow any of you to get out of here alive.

Morgan then turned his eyes to where that high-pitched voice came from, he then saw kirien's mirrored version staring at him from the corner of the room.

"Are you still alive?

" Insolent human...

That strange version of Kirien then began to get black eyes and a dark coloration, she then crouched in an attack position.

In an instant, almost imperceptible miseth, Kirien's mirrored version propelled itself forward so fast that any human who was not trained in the arts of magical mastery would not even notice that she had moved, the creature then struck a brutal blow with his hand toward Morgan's chest.

By the time Morgan received the impact of the blow, the creature's fingers went through his chest and propelled him back, shocking him against a wall violently.

"I'm going to kill you human!

Even hitting Morgan hard, the creature noticed that only his fingers had penetrated that man's thick skin, realizing that the creature began to throw several punches against Morgan's chest that were burying him in the wall at every impact.

" Morceguinha!

Haruka then shouted para Kirien who was still in shock at everything that was going on.

"Get that guy and get out of here now! "Haruka said as he pointed to Elijah.

"But why?!

"We don't have time for this! Just do what I said, quick!

"But what about you?

"He's got something I need... I'm not leaving here without her.

" ...

Kirien then got up and ran towards Elijah, she then grabbed him by the arm and put him on her back, quickly she ran to the stairs to escape from that location as quickly as possible.

" Good job morceguinha.

Haruka then leaned against the wall while trying to get up, so something caught his eye, quickly kirien's mirrored version was hurled against the wall at a surreal speed, however, even on impact, the creature rose as if it had felt nothing.

Morgan then came out of the rubble while bleeding from the wound he had suffered to his chest by the creature.

"You were the first to hurt me in so long, you cursed creature.

"Insolent humans, even after so many years, you are still the same vermin so before.

Suddenly Morgan ran toward the creature preparing to throw a punch toward the creature, realizing it, kirien's mirrored version bounced again toward Morgan.

While the two fought a brutal battle, Haruka stood up and began to regain her breath, she then took a sword from the ground and began to come up with a plan, at that moment wise Haruka who could not defeat Morgan, much less that creature.

While Haruka thought about what to do, Morgan grabbed the creature's head, then he lifted it into the air and violently shocked it against the ground causing it to break the entire floor of the site on impact, and then threw a punch that sank the creature's head against the floor.

"Now... parece that you're the only one left. .. — Morgan said as he turned his eyes to Haruka.

"How disgusting... this is far from a fair fight.

Since when is the world fair? This would be a great opportunity for you to surrender.

" ... No, not even dead, I wouldn't surrender to someone like you.

Morgan then got up, Haruka briefly managed to see the cube that contained the elves she had helped fastened to Morgan's belt.

" This is a waste of time.

" ...

Haruka then took a deep breath and began carrying her sword with her magic again, while carrying her magic on the sword, she began to fully hone her muscles to the point where they caused extreme pain to the girl.

"Why do you want to continue?

Haruka then advanced and slapbed a stoople with all his might against Morgan's chest, his sword was not even defragmented with a glass as soon as he touched Morgan's chest, it was as if Haruka had hit a mirror against a block of steel, the girl then stood again face to face with the man as he stared at her from top to bottom.

"This is so ridiculous that it's unfair... what kind of drugs did they put in your body?

Morgan then quickly moved his hand and grabbed the girl by the head lifting her up soon after, he then struck the girl's belly and then turned her loose into the air, while falling Haruka received a kick in the back that made her fly through the door and stairs that gave access to the top floor causing her to crash into the ceiling of the upper floor and fall to the ground then.

"Going on with this is going to kill you. "Morgan said as he slowly climbed the ladder.

As he listened to the man's words, Haruka coughed up blood on the floor while feeling intense pain throughout his body.

"This babaca... por that... because I can't fight this guy...

" The answer is simple.

Haruka then again found herself in that white world as she looked up she saw the black silhouette of the yellow-eyed creature staring at the ground.

"You are an incompetent, a complete useless, you say you want to solve things between the spiritual world and the human world, but you do not even have the strength to defeat that human, than served all the training that that old man taught you? You have no focus and no determination.

"It gets to be more painful to hear you talk... that take the punches of that wise guy?

"Stop being irrational, you know you can't beat him.

"Hell, I'm not going to beat him, I got what I wanted.

Haruka then rose slowly as she staggered, she then looked at her left hand where she held the cube that contained the elves, she quickly kept the cube in her pants pocket before Morgan could see it.

"I'm impressed, you keep getting up, even after taking so much damage, anyone would even stand up, you'd be an exceptional soldier.

" ...

Haruka at that moment struggled to see, her vision was blurred and she could not even hear anything right, however, she was still standing.

"You can no longer fight, the wound Elijah caused to your back made you bleed too much, adding to the damage you have taken so far, it becomes a miracle that you are still alive.

"I cannot deny this fact... " said Haruka as he began to have slight loss of consciousness.

Morgan then began to head towards the girl, in a few steps he was already face to face with ela, while watching that fragile countenance of the girl, Morgan began to remember the reason that had made him undergo that transformation that made him the super soldier he was today.

(5 years post-cataclysm)

Tokyo Zone 32.

"General, what have we come to do right here?

"Apparently there were some incidents in the underground area 32, as we were always being sent to find out if it is no magical threat.

"That's general hunter's job, they get paid to solve this shit.

"You don't get paid to talk soldier, now shut up.

Morgan, general in charge of bravo team 4, made up of 14 soldiers, had been sent to investigate strange phenomena captured by the military from the underground area 32 of Tokyo.

Passing through a subway tunnel, bravo 4 team blew up a wall that gave access to a series of caves that were not supposed to exist.

" Central, we found a cave system, over.

" General Morgan Caves?

"Exactly, from what I can tell in the short view, it seems to be quite old, send me a map system, Exchange.

"Negative general, we can't do that.

"What do you mean you can't? Exchange.

"I don't record any caves in these areas, I can't tell you what you may have found.

"How should we proceed? Exchange.

"For now, explore the cave system, we need to know what's causing the phenomena.

Affirmative, Over.

From his vast experience, Morgan wisely that that choice was not the right one to make, but for him good soldiers follow orders, so he led his men through the tunnels.

In a few moments walking inside the cave, Morgan noticed that she was different from the caves he had already visited, she was strange, as if she had been shaped by someone many, many years ago, now devastated by time.

Morgan's soldiers began to become thoughtful about that mission with each step they took.

"General, I don't think it's a good idea to continue.

"Let's complete the soldier mission.

After saying that, Morgan came across an intense white light that originated from a crack in the wall, he then took a light explosive that was in his backpack, suddenly he planted it in the crack of the wall and exploded it, as soon as the wall fell, that intense light came up again, the flash blinded him completely, it was a kind of orb with a kind of armor that covered him with irons as if he wanted to keep him sealed, he was in the center of a pedestal with four pillars that surrounded him, both covered in words that neither of the soldiers understood.

"What the hell is that... general?

"Central, we found some kind of orb... exchange.

"Orb? What do you mean an orb?

"I can't say, he's a very small size, I can say it's a little bigger than my hand, he shines in an intense light, it's hard to even look at it without hurting his eyes, it's like... I was trying to look at the sun, over.

" Copied general.

"What should we do? Exchange.

" Wait for more general information.

" Copied central, I'll be waiting, over.

Something in that situation made Morgan apprehensive, he already had in mind that that object was not a good thing, however, even then he would not leave without completing his mission.

After a few minutes in silence, Morgan's soldiers already seemed impatient, being near that orb made them totally impatient.

" Central to bravo team 4, on the wire?

" Bravo team 4 on central wiretapping, over.

"Bravo Team 4, your orders are to seal the cave, blow up everything there and put this place down.

" Blow up the place? And as for the object, over.

" No... they... espe... Leave...

" Central? On the wire? Exchange.

In an instant, Morgan completely lost contact with his plant, however, he began to put into practice his new orders, he quickly ordered his men to begin planting bombs on the walls that supported the cave, while planting the bombs, Morgan's radio began to make a deafening noise.

" Central? Anybody on the wire? Exchange.

While waiting for an answer, Morgan had a strange sensation that ran all over his body as he looked around as he noticed that one of the pillars around the orb began to crack.

"General... What are the orders?

" Finish planting the explosives... fast!

As his soldiers ran to finish planting everything, a slight distortion in reality occurred, in a second a rift broke the reality where they were near the orb, the cave then began to collapse and increase in size, Morgan then realized that that space where they were was a part of the spirit world, the two realities were slowly merging.

" Shit... Abandon the mission, run from here, now!

After hearing those words the soldiers quickly abandoned the bombs and began to run to the exit as they ran away from the room, Morgan noticed that the cave was beginning to form around a rift that united the spirit world with the human world.

" Central! A rift opened in the cave, the place was connected to the spirit world!

" ...

"Why don't they answer!

After leaving the cave, Morgan signed control of the bombs, in an instant everything exploded, while breathing relieved, Morgan began to check if everything was really okay while looking through the crack of the entrance, that's when he saw a gigantic open crevice.

"We have to get out of here now! Let's go out on the street, quick!

Without thinking many they moved through the tunnels towards the entrance where they had come from, after arriving at the station to get out of the underground, they noticed that there was no one in place, while their soldiers searched the place, Morgan pulled out his radio again.

" Central? On the wire, blowing up the cave had no effect, we need help and fast.

" Gene... what... Aug...

"Shit, what the hell is generating this interference?

Morgan then headed to the station exit, after leaving, they noticed several people crowded into a street as they scarbed something, instinctively Morgan headed to the scene while ordering his men to evacuate people.

After getting close enough, Morgan was able to see what those people were facing, it was a thin part of the rift that looked like a glass coming out of the ground, for those people that was beyond new and strange, it was very intriguing, but for Morgan, that was a sign of extreme danger, that crack was about to divide the ground giving space to the spirit world.

"Get out of here now! Evacuate this area as soon as possible!

Even listening to what the man was saying, people didn't even want to hear it, at that moment they were more interested in the rift than in the words he said.

Morgan then took his rifle and fired four shots up, after hearing the sound of gunfire, the people were totally frightened.

"If you value your lives, get out of here now! This is a crack in the spirit world...

Before Morgan could explain it further, the small splinter of the crevice opened further off the ground, it was then that a tremor began to go through everyone's feet there, in a matter of a few minutes , a quiet area of tokyo had gone into flames, chaos and despair, the ground opened with the force of a creature that seemed to be 8 meters high, she was gray with large black horns and her skin seemed to be formed of scales and bones fused to the monster's own flesh as a kind of armor, he pushed the ground with pure brute force, so he opened a hole in the ground revealing it to everyone there and giving space for various creatures to begin attacking the zone killing everything and anyone in their path.

The only gifts that could do anything against those creatures at that time were Team Bravo 4, composed of General Morgan and his soldiers, within seconds, the creatures had already propagated chaos and death, while trying to save as many people as possible, Morgan had already lost 9 of his men to the ferocious attack of the creatures.

"Back off! We can't contain them here anymore! "Morgan was screaming as he reloaded his gun.

While an urban war was taking over the area, Morgan tried to contact the command center at all times, but he didn't even get answers.

While trying to figure out what to do, he saw a girl running toward an alley while being chased by a creature, he then advanced alone toward the alley in the middle of the intensible tiroteio between the survivors of his team and the other creatures.

"What are you doing general?! "I asked one of the soldiers as he tried to cover Morgan for the creatures' attacks.

" ...

Morgan then came across the girl who was about to be killed pala creature, he then unloaded the comb from his gun on the creature without thinking twice, after receiving the shots the creature turned to Morgan and let out a deafening scream, she then ran toward the man, Morgan quickly dropped his rifle and pulled out his pistol, he began again shooting at the creature, yet the bullets seemed to have no effect on it.

The creature then jumped towards Morgan and knocked him to the ground, she logo punched Morgan in the chest, after receiving the impact he began to have immense difficulty breathing, the creature then grabbed him by his vest and held him to the ground, she then raised her other arm with her fist closed, at that moment the man had already understood that he was going to die, and that's when one of his soldiers began shooting at the creature.

"What are you doing?! You want to kill yourself?! "The soldier shouted at Morgan.

The soldier then reloaded the gun quickly and returned to shoot the creature, the monster then released Morgan and shot at the soldier, the creature quickly knocked him down and held his right arm, she then effortlessly tore the man's left arm and grabbed him by the neck.

Knowing it was his end the soldier took his pistol with his other arm and shot a grenade that was in his vest exploding the creature's joint.

While mourning the death of his companion, Morgan saw the creature coming out of the smoke of the grenade and walking slowly toward him.

"Cursed monster... "Morgan said with extreme difficulty.

Morgan then got up and ran towards the girl holding her in her lap and running to the other direction of the alley, while running with the girl in his lap he could see that the creature was chasing them.

Bravo 4, anyone on the wire? The gambia.

" General Morgan on the wire... We need help now!

Bravo 4, where are you?

"We're four blocks from the rift, in the business district, we're under attack, I don't know how much longer we're going to last.

"Understood Bravo 4, hold your position.

" Copied!

Morgan then took a violent blow to his back from the creature that threw him into a car , at that moment Morgan had stop feeling his legs and part of his arms.

As he tried to understand why he couldn't move, Morgan could see the girl getting up while looking around.

"Run, corre now girl!

After hearing Morgan's scream, the girl saw the creature still in front of her staring at her, the creature then grabbed the girl's head and lifted her toward her face.

"Release her now cursed monster!

When all seemed lost, a very strong red ray struck the creature by cutting and burning its body almost instantly.

The creature at the same time released the girl to the ground, after falling the girl turned his hands toward her neck, when Morgan stopped to focus his eyes, he saw that that attack had seriously injured the girl as well.

" Hey, what are you doing here? Hey, easy, it's going to be okay, look at me!

" ...

While staring at the girl struggling to breathe, Morgan saw several elite hunters, they wore black hooded costumes and a strange plain mask as a paper that covered their faces, they were passing morgan and the girl as if they were irrelevant.

"Somebody help that girl! She's dying!

" ...

" Hey, what are you doing here? Come on, are you blind?!

"Ignore them, we have other orders.

After hearing that, Morgan realized that despite them hearing the screams dele, the hunters passed him without showing any interest in helping, as if they were less than nothing, as if they even existed, at that moment, Morgan saw the girl die in front of him without being able to do anything to help her.

After a few minutes of stopping staring at the now lifeless girl, Morgan noticed that the noise of the fight was over, by that time all his soldiers had died, however, the hunters had stopped the creatures and the rift had already been closed, Morgan then saw the hunters returning to the same place where he had been left, he quickly saw that two of them used magic to transport the orb.

"Do not drop it, this is of utmost importance to the elders.

"Sir, there's a soldier here, he's still alive.

"Forget him, soon the military will arrive to clear the area, we need not worry.

Again, as if he were nothing, the hunters left without even thinking of helping, after a few hours still still, Morgan was found by a military escort.

A few months after that fateful day, Morgan was hospitalized , and he had been paraplegic , while watching the tv from the hospital, Morgan saw how the news treated the hunters like the heroes, however, the only thing that passed on Morgan's mind was in his companions who had sacrificed his life to save the innocent that day and the girl who had died because of an attack from the hunters themselves.

"General Morgan... you don't know me, you don't need to know my name for now either, however, I have a proposal to make, would you like to return to the battlefields?

"Get out of here... " said Morgan as he looked at the bedroom window.

" Um... Well, if you want to go back to being someone, besides a paraplegic, I'll leave my card here, do not need to decide now, just think a little, you prefer to remain in their shadows or prefer to stop being just a statistic.

After that strange man's visit, Morgan had reflected for a few days, as he thought of everything he had sacrificed his hatred for the hunters began to grow more and more, he then came into contact with that man.

It didn't take long for a team of agents in social clothing to come looking for him, after leaving the hospital Morgan received a document explaining to him everything about the advanced soldier's project, without thinking too much Morgan agreed to participate even though he realised that it could cost him his life.

"I was surprised you agreed to participate, you read the whole document, didn't you?

"Everything I need to know I already know, let's just get started with it.

"All right, first we need to fix your spine, let's remove your spine and replace it with a mechanic, after that we will exchange your heart for a new one.

"What do you mean a new heart? Mine didn't show anything on the tests.

"This heart was taken from a hunter, he had a peculiar magic.

" Where did you get the body of a hunter?

"That's secret, I can't tell you.

"Magic cannot be transferred to other individuals, this has been tested several times.

" That's the biggest risk here Morgan, if you survive the first procedures, we will replace your heart, after that you will receive an intense dose that we are producing of a new drug, it will allow you to use a certain percentage of that hunter's magic, not only that but it will also increase your physical endurance and your strength, but...

"But?

"If any of these procedures are a failure, you will die in a very painful way.

" ... Have you tried this before?

"I'm sorry for the way I'm going to refer, but you're our 78th specimen.

" How many survived this surgery?

"... None, they're all dead.

" ...

"It seems that you are hesitating.

"I'm not going to go back, just start with it at once, if I have to die that way.

"I wise that I was right to choose you." . very well then, let's get started.

Morgan's surgery took about 79 hours, several doctors switched shifts to continue surgery, amid that surgery had several complications, however, Morgan was still alive, after the surgery was completed, Morgan began to feel his legs again.

In a short time, he increased in size, became much stronger, besides being able to control some of the magic that came from his new heart, all thanks to that experimental remedy, while adapting to his new lifestyle, Morgan underwent several tests, he was sent to kill several types of creatures that had been captured by the army, its limits were tested several times, until Morgan was considered the perfect weapon, the one that would replace the hunters in the fight against the creatures, however, that project needed a very large funding, after several meetings, one man suggested the sale of exotic creatures of the spirit world, even knowing the dangers that were in that suggestion, she was accepted by the officers.

It didn't take long to find hunters who had an interest in participating in that idea, although their motives were always monetary, Morgan then began to work kidnapping Elves and other monsters for the entertainment of people with a high social standard, however, for Morgan, all he did wrong, was nothing more than a revenge for him losing everything in the struggles against the creatures of the spirit world.

(Present)

"I seem to be at my limit. ..

" After you wake up, your memories will have been erased, if all goes well, you will be even stronger than I am.

"You don't understand, do you? I'm not like you, all you did was turn into a weird, ugly creature as hell, I'd rather die than turn it around.

Suddenly Haruka fell to her knees as she said those words, she still struggled to stay awake while watching the girl, Morgan raised her hand ready to trap the girl in one of her cubes, however, kirien's copy quickly emerged behind Morgan sticking her fingers in her back.

"Are you still alive your plague?!

As Morgan tried to get free from the creature, Haruka began to faint due to the loss of blood she had suffered while losing consciousness, Haruka saw several black figures approaching her as they tried to touch her.

After gathering around the girl, Haruka began to be possessed by the figures, her eyes turned black as she watched that strange black shape that talked to her in her thoughts slowly approaching her.

"These spirits, they see in you a way out of your suffering, now they want to join you just to escape, isn't that great? After the last of them comes into you, your conscience will be so weak that I'm just going to need to destroy all of them, including you, so finally this body will be mine.

At that moment, a light came on for the girl and caused all the figures to evade near her, quickly Haruka returned to reality.

"Calm down... I'm with you Haruka.

" Morceguinha?" asked Haruka as he watched Kirien's silhouette.

At that moment, Kirien had put on her necklace that kept the spirits away in Haruka, without much thought succubus took the girl and began to take her out of that place, while retreating Kirien only listened to the impacts of Morgan's blows and his mirrored version.

"Where do you think you're going?!

Kirien then turned her eyes back and saw Morgan walking towards her, she then let go of Haruka's arm and pulled her black beast pointing at Morgan.

"What do you think you can do with this, you worm?

"I'm not done with you human! "He shouted the creature as he jumped on Morgan again.

Kirien then directed his arm to his bag and picked up a red dart with several demonic writings around him.

"I didn't want to use you, but since you're my emergency dart... This is an emergency.

After placing the dart on the beast, Kirien began to utter several words in a demonic language, after a few moments the dart began to tremble and shine brightly.

I'm sorry, i'm sorry. I wanted to go on more explorations with you. "He told succubus as he looked at his mirrored version fighting Morgan.

After saying those words, Kirien fired the dart toward Morgan and his mirrored version, after coming into contact with the two, the dart exploded into an intense dark red energy with rays that sucked everything around him to the center, almost instantly consuming the dart and the creature.

Kirien then took an eye on his belt and crushed him while holding Haruka's arm, at the same time the two were teleported to the entrance to the cave, even after they were already out of place, Kirien picked up Haruka who was already unconscious and put her on her back, she then began to run away from the cave, as the terrain on its way began to shake and heat up, and it was then that a gigantic explosion of red color completely destroyed the cave and the terrain around it, the explosion was so great that even though it was already at a certain distance, Kirien and Haruka were thrown away.

Haruka saw herself again in that white place in the back of her mind, this time she saw nothing but that clear immensity.

"What can you do on your own? Have you ever wondered if you make any difference? How many times have you been helped in your combat? You're a Haruka nuisance.

Almost instantly Haruka woke up, however, she could not even get up due to the pain she felt for her body.

"You'd better rest Haruka, you've lost a lot of blood.

" Morceguinha?

Even with her vision still blurred, Haruka could tell that that silhouette was kirien's, she could see that the succubus was extremely focused on something, however, she did not wise to say what.

"Faz 4 hours since I blew up that place, we are a relatively large distance from the site.

"Did he die?

"I don't know, it's likely, I don't feel my life being drained anymore, so my copy certainly died...

"Where's the other one?

"That other man? He woke up suddenly and tried to run away, but as you knocked him out I thought he might be dangerous, so I sequessured his magical powers with a seal before he woke up and then I shot him with shock, now he's sleeping there.

"What are you doing?

" I am preparing a remedy that will increase your blood production, it will leave you well groggy, but it will prevent you from suffering any other damage due to blood loss.

"Could you do me a favor?

"Of course what would it be?

"In the pocket of my pants there is a cube...

"He opened up after the explosion.

"...

"If you are worried about the elves that were inside him, they went missing in the forest, a girl who was among them told me to thank you before disappearing into the forest as well.

Haruka, after hearing it, turned his eyes up as he watched the light of the sun in that world, at that moment Haruka felt a feeling of extreme peace and tranquility.

"Thank you Morceguinha.

"... You took too many chances, Haruka.

"...

"Do you know how much you've worried me?! You would have died if I hadn't come back, don't you think about how important you are to your friends or para me?!

Kirien said with a tremulated voice, even though he could not see right Haruka could notice that the girl was downcast and sad.

"I'm sorry... " said Haruka with a low tone.

"... You idiot.
