Black Mist

“Wusshh...!”

Dive us into a deep black fog. I could see nothing but the fog that kept on coming at me. If only there was a way for this fog to disappear.

“Malka, something lights up on you,” Alya said. I saw myself, something was burning from the robe I was wearing. “Not wrong, definitely one of those flowers..” I thought. I don't know why I feel like I can do something. My eyes were closed and imagined a light appearing and blowing away this entire fog.

My body suddenly felt light, but the air around me was tight. My gaze was black, I pushed all the air that was pressing down on me.

“Wah!” lontark.

An invisible great wave erases all of that puff. I could finally see clearly, but no sunlight made the surroundings dark as cloudy. “There are a lot of people down there!” shouted Gras. But I don't want them to die just like that, “Don't, we're just looking for Knox!”

“True, they are all still affected by that black energy,” Ethan said. We floated right above them looking for the demon humans it was in. As far as I'm concerned right now, only warriors are as numerous as the sea of men.

Suddenly a crowd sounded from below.

“Shoot!”

The atmosphere became bright with the light arising from the bullets that shot towards us. “Awas!” throw me at the others. I tried to avoid those thousands of bullets, as did my friends who were also dancing in the sky.

“We must quickly find it or—Ah!”

I turned to the direction of that voice. Ellie's free fall falls from her balance in the air. We reached him, but he fell very quickly. “You go! Let me just!” exclamation Ethan. I stopped— “Quick! I don't want any more casualties among us!” keep Ethan.

Rushing myself left Ethan out of sight. I'm sick of it but haven't found it yet. “I'm not strong.. You guys just go without me..” blow Gras whose voice is panting.

“Me and Lena will protect him! You guys just go!” Kellos' words made me unsure. “No, later you will—” my reply that was instantly cut by Kellos back, “Trust us. We are ready for this kind of situation.” She and Lena held hands together while smiling at me, causing my heart to melt and smiling back at them.

“You guys...” murmured me, then turned to leave them with Gras behind. When I looked back again, it looked like Kellos was using a shield. Reminds me that on earth we fought against Knox's army. The “angit” shield lets out its rays, as Lena delivers something from her magic wand.

“I will not waste it for your sake.” decakku.

The bullet rain is still pouring upwards. “Do you not want to stop them?” ask Athar. “We don't have time for that. Hang on!” my reply. “But I was so furious with them!” continued. “They know nothing!” lontarku then he fell silent. I can't believe their troops are still piling up after flying far away.

“They stopped shooting!” exciting Stella.

“What happened to them?” leora Sahut.

“Do not let your guard down, stick to our destination,” remember me to them.

Finally I can breathe a little relieved after there's no such shitty bullet. I looked down, as if he had done nothing. “Is Knox already dek—”

“Aaaa…! Please!”

I was surprised to hear that. Luke immediately tried to approach the fallen Athar, but Zilei immediately held his hand. “That's a trap,” he said briefly. Athar, who was trying to reach out with his hand, disappeared in the middle of the sea of humans.

“Why can he fall?” ask Stella. I was as good as them, then looked at the troops that were down there. There's nothing strange.

“Malka! Watch out!” shout Alya. Something hit my back. “What just hit me?” I asked Alya. “There was a black ball earlier,” he replied. Thankfully nothing happened to me. “Someone is cheating..” Zilei chirped. “This is not a game,” reply me.

I saw the black ball coming from, as the balls were pointing at me. Apparently there were a lot of troops holding sticks. “Witch? Since when?” said Sara. The balls were not as fast as the previous bullets, but they followed me wherever I went. Suddenly, the black ball disappeared on its own.

“Eh? Lost—” muttered before thick smoke suddenly billowed back.

The fog at this moment seemed much more dense. However, there is a hallway that is not foggy at all. “Where does this road lead to?” ask Lukas. “Is this a trap again?” ask Leora. “But I can't penetrate this fog any deeper,” said Alya who tried to put his hands into that fog.

“Maybe Knox is satisfied with playing around.”.

I followed that path leading along with the others. It was like a big tunnel, pointing us down. Knox, he seems to be standing there alone. An increasingly turbulent feeling demanded us to rush up to him.

In the end we treaded the ground with the fog still piling thick around us. I saw no one but us.

“Where are you? We don't play hide and seek!” I shouted in all directions.

“Hahaha!”

“Finally you guys came too..”

His voice echoed from all directions. I looked to the left and right many times with a huffed face.

“How are you, Malka? Too often anger is not good for your face, Young man. Hahaha.”.

“Don't much nonsense! Out you!” exclaim Alya. I didn't expect her to be like that in front of me.

Athar suddenly appeared in front of us. He was already unconscious standing upright with a black pole behind him. His body was covered in black smoke.

“Athar!” sara Lontar. He ran up to him, I immediately warned him, “Awas!” but it's too late. The black smoke poked towards Sara and threw her where we were standing. The violent thump hit Luke without even dodging him.

“What did he do to her?” my many.

“Hahaha…! There's no need to be afraid, son. I just tied it up. You guys can try to save him.”

Without a second thought I tried to get close to Athar. The black smoke came back, but this time I was able to avoid it.

“Malka watch out!” shouted Leora. The surprised me immediately turned to the back, the smoke I avoided was attacking me from behind. I couldn't avoid it anymore, but fortunately the smoke was exposed to my protector.

“You cheated, yes..” my thoughts.

“Unfortunately there is no mirror here.. Hahaha.

My friends helped to save Athar, but this annoying smoke made it difficult for us to approach him.

“One against seven, and you guys are still like that? Even half of my ability I haven't given to you. Hahaha.”.

“You toyed with us..” grumbled Stella.

“You guys were quite entertaining before I left. Hahaha.”.

We stayed away from Athar thinking of ways. My breath was a little breathless after the fight against that shitty smoke. Black smoke... Looks like I found carany—.

“I'm getting tired of this game. We go on to the next game... Hahaha..”.

Athar disappeared somewhere. There's only us here. Then came some people from the fog from various angles like besieging us. His face was no stranger to me. People who have worked with me…

“I think it's all. But I don't want you guys to fight at once like little kids. I want you guys to duel..”.

Unknowingly we marched and faced each other up close. Once a black smoke appeared again between us and blew me and my friends away. I stayed and stayed in position. On the other hand they floated backwards and left Jack in front of me.

My friends were lying on the ground because everything happened so fast, except for Zilei who and landed herself perfectly. “Uuu... Interesting..” said someone across there.

“It looks like we have found a participant who will match first... Hahaha..”.

I looked at him, and so did he. A fiery smile flared up in both of us. Sword versus sword, balanced. Heart rate is like a countdown to start with. “Dug!” In the same spot, I launched my attack, as did he. The two swords pitted physically, looking very close. Saying it slowly, I heard it.

“A long time ago we did not contest, Malka..”.
