As shinku looked back he saw the skeletal figure swing his blade, then he blocked with his sword, he then tried to grab Shinku with the dark energy in his left hand, but he kicked him and jumped back. "What is this thing…." He said quietly, the figure stood still and got into his stance, putting his left hand on his right elbow and pointed the blade straight at Shinku, "I am one with the darkness….." the figure spoke, Shinku jumped and swung his blade at the entity, but he teleported and hit his back with his elbow, Shinku fell to the ground and got back up. "I am Zorc" the figure said clenching his fingers and moved around him, then they ran at each other and swung at the same time, Shinku growled and swung horizontally, Zorc's Torso was damaged, but not completely cut. "I see you managed to damage me, very well….but this wont be the end so easily" Zorc had a dark aura surrounding him and his blade became shrouded in dark energy, he walked slowly to Shinku with his blade pointing at him, "This being is not from here….hes something else, first the dragon…..and now this" Shinku said in his mind.

Shinku realized he had a dagger sheathed on the back of his belt, then he grabbed it and threw it at Zorc, but he grabbed the dagger by the hilt. "What!" Shinku shouted, Zorc threw it far away and swung his sword at Shinku, but he dodged and punched his skull face, then he kicked him and started to swing at him while growling, Zorc was dodgeing and walking backwards, "You are an interesting human…..you are putting up a fight" he jumped and kicked Shinkus face, he was not affected and he grabbed Zorcs leg and threw him to the ground. But Zorc swung and put a small cut on Shinkus arm, he covered the cut but Zorc stepped backwards "I shall be going now…..more important stuff to do" Zorc walked back into the darkness but before he disappeared he looked back "Until we meet again….Struggler". he disappeared in the abyss and the sky became a sunset once again, Shinku stood still supprised about what happened, who he encountered was not from this world, some…..different entity from another realm, Shinku walked back to the base with minor wounds, he walked inside and went inside his and Akame's room, he put his sword away and layed on his bed.

He sighed and took a nap, he thought about what happened lately, Gandora…..and Zorc, they both had some reason to be in this world, but never said anything about it. The next day in the morning Shinku woke up and got up from the bed, he put on his armor and walked to the kitchen, he sat down and waited for some waffles, Green came and sat down then noticed Shinkus cut, "Hey….you have a cut on your arm, "I know" Shinku replied back, "So…what happened". Shinku looked up, "I have no idea, I met this mysterious being and we fought, then I got damaged" Green was surprised by the story about Zorc, he put his glasses back on "Hm…just like that Dragon huh, I wonder whats going on", Shinku got up and stood still "Maybe there are beings beyond this world, beings far stronger than us, maybe even more of a threat than danger beasts, who knows where they are coming from". Shinku walked outside and felt the bright shine coming from the morning sun, he crossed his arms and looked up at the sky, "Soon….i will find out whats going on….".
