Chapter 12; The Devil of Darkness

Breeeeeehhh.!!! It's 8:09 am, I've already started thinking, how was this guy's gold stolen?

I get up from my bed, then head towards the shower. I brush my teeth and wash myself... Very well, I'm clean like a self-respecting Human, now I have to get out of here!

I leave my room, take the elevator, arrive downstairs

_ Mr. Natsa!!

Said a woman almost my age..

Natsa << Yes!! >>

_ I'm Eris, I work here I...!!

Natsa << you are young enough to work here, how old are you? >>

Eris <>

Natsa << have you always worked here? >>

Eris << no, but let's get back to the point, Mr. Natsa I have to... >>

Natsa <<.... stop calling me sir...! Do I look like an old grandpa? >>

Eris << huh...! But it's out of respect for customers! >>

Natsa << I don't care about that, call me natsa... Eris! >>

Eris << it's... It's understood Natsa! >>

Natsa << very good, now I have to go! >>

Eris << but I couldn't even talk to you about why I stopped you for a moment sir! >>

I frown and look into her eyes.

Natsa << hum..!! >>

Eris << oh... Sorry, Natsa I meant! >>

Natsa << sigh, good talk! >>

Eris << Natsa, we have renovations to do in your room and so, don't be surprised if when you arrive you don't seem to recognize it anymore!! >>

Natsa << what kind of renovation? >>

Eris << Change some decoration, we will improve the quality of your room believe me!! >> She said winking.

Natsa << And that's why you arrested me? >>

Eris << Um, obviously, because the change of location may lead you to believe that the room wasn't yours! >>

Natsa << yes, it's not wrong, well now I know, can I go? >>

Eris << yes of course, thank you for the time you gave me!! >>

No, but look at her, she's cute, but it's all just physical, deep down it's not that pretty to look at.

I turn around and leave the hotel.

Here I am in the street, looking everywhere. I know where this manager's gold is, it's in this store right in front of me.

I cross the road and enter the store. Not very friendly people are watching me from everywhere. More than 13 people, all with faces worthy of thugs. Me who was only 18 years old....

_ hey kid what do you want?

A guy in front of me asks me. On his face, he had a closed left eye and a huge scar.

He was also smoking a cigarette.

Natsa << Let's see, don't act like you don't know me!! >>

_ Hum... You're in trouble my little one, you know that we are being paid to harm you but you still take yourself to us, I don't think the boss will complain if we killed you!

He began to crack his fingers.

Natsa << hum...!! >>

Another one of his guys locked the store.

_ We are going to end your life little one!!

He added.

Then all the bad guys get up and come towards me.

_ let's take him to the basement, we shouldn't stain the floor with too much blood, we would still have customers!!

Added another thug guy.

_ Yes good idea !!

Replies one of them.

The best thing is that I let myself do it first before killing them all!

They took me and took me to their basement.

In the basement, there were even more of them, I didn't know there were so many!

Natsa << "Visio cosmica" >> the activity capacity, I see myself able to know how many there are exactly, and there are more than 109 in all. 109 to beat up a kid like me?!

_ hey guys, it's little Natsa Desgodor, he was stupid enough to come and give himself up to us!!

shouted a thug.

_ I wonder who directed it towards us too!!

Replies another.

Natsa << shut up, here you are at my mercy, no one will get out of here alive except me!! >>

At these words a great silence reigned.

They are easier to intimidate than I think!!

_ pooouuhhahahahaha!!!!

* Laugh burst *

_ but who does this kid think he is!!

_ hey kid, we're not here to laugh, you're really going to cry!!

_ I hope the kid wasn't serious when he spoke hahaha!!!

Hum... Mockery... They're making fun of me!!!!

_Good kid, the best thing is to show you that you're really done!

They started picking up baseball bats, scrap metal, and anything else they could grab when they got to me.

_ take that kid, haaaaaaa!!!

A thug was running towards me with a baseball bat.

With a wave of my hand, I was able to levitate him using my telekinesis 4 meters from the ground.

_ what's going on !!

Said the thug looking surprised.

_ how does this kid do that?

Ask the others.

With another wave of my hand, I hit the thug against the ground with my telekinesis. I hit him so hard that his body burst from the impact.

_ hooooo!!!

The other thugs shouted.

_ let's kill this kid and quickly!!!

They were all running towards me.

I raised both arms and a mass of more than 17 thugs levitated in their turns

_ spare us!!!

They say out of fear.

With both arms raised, I closed my palms and squeezed the stitches.

The 17 thugs in the air were now large puddles of blood, bones and splattering flesh.

The remaining 91 thugs all backed away for fear of losing their lives.

_ but who is this kid?!

They said.

Natsa << don't tell me it's already over?! >>

_ uh, kid, you want gold, don't you?

_ we can tell you where he is but in exchange you save our lives!!

They are negotiating, pathetic.

Natsa << I know where the gentleman's gold is>>

With a snap of my fingers, gold appears on my right hand.

Natsa << By sending me to you, it was doomed in advance for you!! >>

_ this kid is a monster, he will kill us all in the long run!!!

Natsa << shut up!! >>

I made my eyes redden with a bloody shine while looking at this thug, and the thug who spoke ended up with his arm that shattered by itself

Crack* crak* crak*

The sound produced by his own bones torments his mind.

_ hyaaaaaa!!!!

He finds himself on the ground, writhing in pain while holding his completely broken arm.

His screams of horror chilled the blood, and even terrified his friends, who all trembled.

_ we... We are not going to let this happen!!!

Said a thug who was holding a chain.

Natsa << it's good to say it, but it's better not to tremble when you do it, look at you, you even peed yourself, you should be ashamed!! >>

_it's... It's none of your business, hiiiiaaa!!!

He came running towards me and spread his long chain to hit me. But the movement is far too simple and easy to tame. So I grabbed the chain before she whipped me.

_ how..., What... What are you planning to do?!

With a smile worthy of a handsome guy, I let go of the chain which turns against its owner and pins him against the wall.

_ gah, what are you going to do to me!!

Natsa << you're immobilized now so I have time to think!! >>

The other thugs just watch completely helplessly.

_ let go of me monster!!

Said the chained thug.

Natsa << me, monster? I remind you that you wanted to beat me to death with 109 adults, idiot!! >>

With a snap of his fingers, the thug's upper and lower limbs turn against themselves 5 times, breaking the thug's bones in excruciating pain.

_ haaaaaaaaa!!!!

He screamed in pain, his thug friends could only watch this and tremble.

Natsa << let's see, stop shouting you're an adult after all!! >>

Another snap of the fingers makes the thug's head turn against itself several times, so much so that it detaches itself from the body and falls to the ground, the thug had lost his life.

Natsa << well, now to the rest of you!! >>

_ pity, spare us!!

Natsa << yes, why not! >>

_ eh, so quickly!!

The thugs all look at me, none of them take their eyes off me for a single second.

Natsa << I'll save your life if you answer my question! >>

_ which ?!

Said a thug

Natsa << does anyone know the association called "NSDR"? I don't even know what the abbreviations mean!>>

The thugs began to think, at the same time their lives could depend on their answers.

_ I know !

cried a thug.

I immediately gave him my cold look as I added.

Natsa << really? So talk but I'm warning you if you tell me stupid things I'll kill you on the spot in a slow and not painless way! >>

The thug began to tremble under my words and said

_ uh... In fact it's a spiritual association which organizes rituals everywhere, it's very difficult to spot them and they can take anyone as a victim!

Natsa << interesting, well, I see we were talking about the same thing so tell me more! >>

_ there's not much info on them, but here in Marlha you can consult a girl named the devil of darkness, she revolves around all this, known here for killing people randomly but we We've never seen who this girl really is; her victims never survived!

Natsa << why are you talking to me about a girl like that? >>

_ because seeing what you are capable of doing, I think you can easily get your hands on her, the only thing I can assure you is that she lives here in Marlha or that she just hangs out a lot with Marlha in the other case!

Natsa << what exactly makes you assure me of this? >>

_ because we only knew his crimes here in Marlha and nowhere else!

Natsa << well, well, well, a deal is a deal, your life will be saved as well as that of your remaining friends, but however if you talk about me to anyone I will find you and I will kill you all without exception!! >>

The thugs still alive all trembled under these words. I took my walk and got out of that store.

Hmm... Now the best I can do is return this gold to the owner, no now, the best is to carry out my investigations on NSDR.

I took my way back to the hotel. Which is simple. I arrive in my room and the lights are off, they certainly finished the work quickly enough. GOOD

"Turn on the light"

In fact, my room has changed a lot, they have done some work to make it prettier.

*Places the gold on the bed and sits down*

Natsa << bruhhh, where the hell am I going to find this girl named devil of darkness? >>

As I wasn't expecting it, I feel a presence behind me. Time to turn around... Too late, the intruder behind me holding his knife to my throat, a Heckler & Koch knife whose sharp blade is about to cut my throat.

<< don't move!! >> Said the intruder

Natsa << oh.. you're a girl, can you face forward so I can see your face? >>

_ what does it matter, do you at least know that you are living your last moments?

Natsa << hum... That would surprise me! >>

_ What ?

The intruder brings his blade so close that I can feel the icy blade of the knife on my throat, at which point it would only take a simple movement, a movement as light as a feather, to cut my throat.

_ don't be too smart and answer my questions first before I eliminate you!!

Natsa << tell me who sent you to kill me? >>

_ Um... No, but what an idiot here, I'm the one asking the questions, do you know that you're going to die at least?

Natsa << what does that matter, I tell you no!! >> With a quick movement of my hand, I grab the blade of the knife with my thumb and my index finger, then I exert a slight pressure which breaks the blade into a thousand pieces, leaving only the handle of the knife.

_ how ?..

she jumped back and took a guard position. As for me, I turn around and finally look at my attacker.

Natsa << so it was you, Eris!!! >>

Eris is the girl who told me about the renovations in my room earlier, I hope you remember!!

Eris << my name is not Eris, my real name is Mi-Ghumi >>

Natsa << Mi-Ghumi, I see, your life must be a web of lies!! >>

MI-GHUMI frowns and pulls a knife from her dress.

Natsa << another knife, kiseki this time, I wonder what other weapon you can hide in your nightgown!! >>

MI-GHUMI << but you never shut up? >> She jumped towards me, preparing to use her knife on me.

Natsa << and there she is, she goes on the attack! >> With a sharp blow, she tried to hurt my chest but it was a failure. She multiplies the attacks which I dodge very easily. She keeps attacking

Natsa << I can dodge your attacks until tomorrow you know!! >>

MI-GHUMI << shut up!!!!!! >> She screams completely furious.

She concentrates another frontal attack this time aimed directly at my forehead

MI-GHUMI << die!!!!! >> With a wave of my hand I grab his knife.

Natsa << too bad, but no, I'm not dying now! >>

MI-GHUMI << eh!!! >> By exerting pressure in my hand, I manage to break his knife quite easily, leaving only the handle.

MI-GHUMI << but, how did you manage to do that? >>

Natsa << simply by squeezing it! >>

MI-GHUMI steps back 5 steps, and takes out a revolver from his dress.

Natsa << hum... Come on, tell me how many weapons you have?! >>

MI-GHUMI << it's none of your business, idiots!! >> I look at the revolver intensely and it explodes in MI-GHUMI's hands which made him jump and fall to the ground.

Natsa << you are my Thank you now! >> ....
