There is no blood coming out from the boy's neck, instead. A huge shadow coming out from it. The boy's consciousness is gone and Joker grabs his body before fell to the ground.
With shrieking and screaming, the shadow finally gets out from the boy's body and looked at Joker. Its size is three meters tall with sharp red eyes and pointy teeth like sharks.
"HUMAN. HOW DARE YOU!" He shouted. The voice echoed the room and enough to make humans tremble to their feet, but Joker slowly lay down the boy's body and looked at the shadow without showing any kind of emotion.
Ashatad.
That is the creature in front of him. A creature controlled humans by disguised itself as fake ideals and inner voice, its job is to control humans. The process is rather complicated and makes your tongue twist. But the brief would be like this.
Let say an ideal looks like a puzzle fragment of a heart, the fragment is pure white and that fragment will be shattered into pieces every time a person followed Ashatad's inner voice, and then it will be replaced by a new one. A dark and twisted heart fragment.
Some inner voice does not bring misfortune for those who followed it, if the person could make a wise decision, it sometimes be a push to achieve goals.
Hatred and Hope are how this creature exists, every human on earth has one, you could say they are the demon for you only. Including Joker, but he able to control it while this boy. He failed and fell under its control.
So in brief, Ashatad is a creature similar to a demon, though. This creature has a power that any creature on Earth doesn't have, except the one that is chosen.
The creature has the ability to change fate even though it is not that strong. Like the fate of meeting new people or the fate of trips onto something, things like this are one of Ashatad's capabilities. Still, this creature can't be underestimated, its power to change nor control fate is unstoppable if they are able to communicate with their human.
Before erasing this creature from existence, Joker praises it as it takes a role that no one else wanted.
"You've done well, but now it's time for you to rest!"
A role of evil... It is needed to balance life, and no one wanted to be one. So, in order to balance it, Ashatad is existed by humans. Unconsciously that is, no one wanted to make an evil creature and take the responsibility, well except some maniacs.
"How dare a human-like you order me!" It shouted and swing its huge, black sword. The sword cloaked in spiritual essence, what a trouble type this is.
"Are those your last words? Then rest." His words don't have any tone, it fell flat. Joker doesn't move his body when the huge sword, looks like a saber when it cloaked in spiritual essence, it glows dark green with red as its outline.
Before Joker moves his body to dodge him and purify him, Ashatad immediately turned into ashes. It happened quickly, which makes him wonder, is this one of that bald, purple Titan doing? [1]
He approached the ashes then rub it between his finger as suspicion and curiosity arose. 'What is the cause?' He thought to himself.
It felt different than normal, the changes are almost unnoticeable but fortunately, he has keen eyes.
In a normal state, the ash would color dark grey and there are soft sands, though not that many. The sands are always covered by the ashes so people sometimes miss this extra detail.
Then this one, it is colored black and looked like any ordinary ashes, there is no sand, instead. A sand-colored pearl, covered by the ashes. The color is stand out but its size is barely noticeable. It looks like the smallest marble you have ever seen.
Ashatad is a creature filled with negative energy flowing through their souls and if that energy is depleted. They will die, and to prevent it. This is when the pearl-sized marble comes in.
This thing is formed when something forcefully absorbs their life energy, which is the negative energy.
After the pearl is formed, Ashatads entered their soul into it, and then, the body is nothing but an empty shell.
After it entered, it could control their shadow-like body and doesn't had to worried about their energy being drained. It was like a robot with a core, and if you destroy it, the body will lose its only source to move.
He grabs the pearl and stands, he understands what is going on, something must have absorbed their life energy and this fella is few seconds late entering the pearl and died. Joker nods a few times and understands what is going on.
"I see. So we are in a place that any kind of energy got sucked."
Every time Joker uses his power, the spiritual essence is three times bigger than normal. It was like fuel to use esper power, just imagine him as an open-world video game character that has a bar below its hp, and every time he uses his power, the bar goes down.
His capacity = 1000/10000, he then uses Psychokinesis, the bar decreases to 9000/10000.
In this place, it would be 5000/10000.
'This must be the reason why I got tired so quickly.'
He must end the fight as quickly as possible.
Without wasting much time, he telepathically told Elaina to threw the dagger at her. The brown skin woman.
Elaina confused, but she threw it without asking any further.
The woman easily dodged it, it isn't that fast for the woman, but for a normal person. The dagger will reach your body before you even realize it.
A presence suddenly appeared behind her, the woman quickly turned her head and finds that Joker already behind her. She knew immediately that this young man isn't ordinary. From what she knew, he able to control so many things. He was able to control five techniques at once.
• Psychokinesis
• Able to control kinetic energy
• Super Speed
• Control electricity and last but not least.
"Exchange Technique!" Her eyes are wide open. She grabs a sharp knife in her waist pocket, then quickly parried Joker's attack but in terms of strength, Joker wins.
The knife she held tossed away, flips few times in the air before reaching the ground.
He quickly swings his dagger to her neck and cut something, which is a dark thread that only he could see. It is connecting from the body to the brain.
A black shadow appeared, and it slowly takes the form of a bull with demonic horns, red eyes, and a tail of a demon. It held a large hammer. This creature resembled that creature, Minotaur.
The same thing of course happened.
"Interesting, a human could see us. Ashatads." It said before disappeared. This Ashatad looks calm and has intelligent, which is rare. This woman must have doubted her decision and always think if she makes the right choice, and to do so.
This Ashatad must be evolved to use intellect, to control this woman. It uses tactics and any kind of strategy. It is an only theory from Joker, so he himself didn't sure if this was the case.
After the woman is collapsed, Joker followed after. He can't move an inch. Elaina immediately ran to him.
"Joker!" She shouted in worried, and after reaching his side, she turns his body around. After that, she checks if he still survives.
One might open their mouth wide open as this guy, just do a double kill on two-level four, I repeat he just do a double kill on two-level four! Their strength is not that strong, that's for sure.
Though that only applied to Joker, he secretly activates a power that decreases their ability's strength, it activates when he threw that grocery bag, he activate it just in case if something went wrong.
The boy earlier who just knocked out, his true power is to control every tiny bullet from that thousands of bullet, and that woman's power is to enhance her body. To know what it actually meant, that woman alone is enough to destroy five tanks and three war jets!
To experience what he's having right on, just do a ten-kilometer marathon in summer with a monster chasing you, or maybe a pervert chasing you with their brain is on the loose and beyond saving, you have done it? Good, now call the ambulance, you deserve it.
"Help me drink a potion." He pointed to which pocket hides the glass bottle, he pointed to his right pocket. Elaina immediately grabs it.
She nods as she knows what to do and raises his head to make it easy for him gulping the blue glowing liquid, its glass bottle looks like those where you see in any RPG games, and it looks the same in Elaina's world.
So many questions she wanted to ask but for now, she will not say anything and let him explains when he wanted.
After the liquid passes the throat and enters the stomach, it became warm like drinking warm water after woke up, you guys should try it, the warm sensation lasts around thirty seconds.
He raises his body and before say anything, he felt a strong presence coming down, his pupils shrank and uses Psychokinesis to shove Elaina from danger, before he does that.
"Sorry!" Then seconds later.
Bam!
Specks of dust flying everywhere, and the figure of Joker, or his real name, Kazuya Eiyuu covered by these specks of dust. The ground trembles greatly when it happened and it forms a huge circular crack and it's deep around three meters.
Nearby cars activate its security system due to mistook the tremble as a thief trying to get in, around five cars turned on their alarms, and lights keep flicking.
Elaina has to cover her ears when all up above happened, if not. Her ears may suffer damage. A few seconds later, everything is calm down, and inside the speck of dust, a faint blue light keeps flicking, followed by white light.
The sound of metals keeps clashing, and series of sparks could be seen, the dust is thicker but the sparks are way visible due to the moonless night!
Are they fighting with elements cloaked in their weapon? Maybe! It seems the one who keeps flicking blue light, which is looked like electric sparks, is Joker, and the one who is flicking white light is his enemy. Is his element is snow?
And thanks to that huge tremble, the nearest street lamp fell to someone's house, and fortunately, no one hurt.
Enaila could only watch as she can't do anything, her magic is depleted when fighting those six people earlier, she enhances her body without knowing that they are in a place where any kind of energy got absorbed.
Since she uses magic, she uses mana while Joker, on the other hand, uses spiritual essence in order to use his esper power.
