Chapter 04: The Enemy that surpasses human understanding

There was the faint sound of something slicing through the air and it turned.

"…I'm sorry for you."

The space between them split as if a huge knife cut into small pieces.

The hostile demon was heavily dragged by the invisible thing.

Crunch*

One by one, a large amount of flesh shattered by the air. Blood was coming out.

Kamijou clicked his tongue and gently shook his head. Suddenly, her heart began to throb loudly.

"I have no choice but luck is not on my side."

It was as if a war had taken place here.

Yellow ribbons with the letters [don't enter] in a building of at least 20 floors.

Kamijou glanced quickly at the building belonging to a private company, he let out a small sigh.

One more night he was doing the dirty work for others. At least many people will no longer be hurt by those demons.

He knew about that hidden world for many.

It's true, there was a world totally different from ours. There was a world like ours somewhere else where the demons ruled, but, the big question was.

What brought them to the earth?

Kamijou Touma shook his agitation in the middle of the night.

Not far from there.

A virus.

Yes, that's what you call it.

A virus that was not very well-known.

This person had been able to access the database of the board of directors in search of certain information. Of course, they activated defense mechanisms in case of network intrusion, but it was too late to do anything. Right now, the target was in the hands of these people.

They called themselves ITEM, and they were probably already on their way to their destination.

As he had promised, Kamijou Touma guided his classmate to her dorm building. It was late when he had arrived at his own and after taking a quick shower he had prepared to sleep. Until this point everything was going well and there was no way this could cause any problems. It was 2 o'clock in the morning and he was not able to sleep. As much as he moved his pillow and tried to find the best position to sleep, despite all his attempts, he couldn't sleep.

Annoyed and with a severe headache he decided to take a small night walk.

Although it was dangerous to walk at night, given his appearance of delinquent he assumed that he would have no problem or mishap. This is how he walked around the block always keeping his guard one can never know when there are dangers just around the corner. They spent about 20 minutes until he decided to go to a convenience store located a few streets from where he lives.

He entered by pushing the door slightly and looked between the shelves. In the end, he bought some cookies and some iced coffee. With the glow of the moon over the sky and with the chill of the dawn he came to a nearby park. He thought this would be the best place to enjoy what he had bought. At this time and with no one around, everything seems more peaceful. It's almost as if he could hear his own thoughts.

"What tranquility."

He smiled to himself while opening the iced coffee.

And just as he had hoped, there was nothing better than enjoying his favorite drink while resting on a park bench.

"This is the best."

Having finished his drink he played with the empty can between his hands. Winter always seemed so white and cold, but also sad and melancholy. Usually the couples walked lovingly and happily. Not everything is good, there are gray things and there are things that you want to change in this world. Certainly, Kamijou also wanted to have that kind of experience with someone, but he himself refused to accept it. The most important thing for him was to find that something.

It is true.

That will not change anything.

The only way to live is to protect others.

"That is what I think."

Kamijou told no one in particular.

A year ago, a girl committed suicide. He does not know the reason and did not want to investigate the cause. Apparently she attended her school and apparently she was in the same classroom, but for some reason he was not able to remember her.

Her name or her face.

There was no way to know who she was.

It is as if something had erased her from his memories.

"Ugh ... my head hurts."

Every time he tried to remember something, his head ached horribly. It was useless to think about it. And also, he was afraid to inquire into the cause.

Curiosity killed the cat, or so they say.

Strange as it seemed, it was as if the demons approached him drawn by his right hand. Supernatural things seem to have a kind of attraction for the power that resides in his right hand even though it is not as if that were something nice.

Not when you have to be constantly fighting with supernatural beings. And for some reason this city seems to be the capital of the supernatural.

"Maybe it's due to certain rumors."

Kamijou said to himself as he dissipated the last demon.

"You look worried."

"Uh ..."

When he returned his attention there was a figure in the middle of this lonely park.

She was something that didn't belong to this world.

She had offered him a power that was beyond his grasp.

She was drawn to that strange right hand.

It's as if something attracted her to him.

Of course Kamijou rejected her request.

But in return she had made a 'Covenant'

"I've told you a thousand times don't appear out of nowhere."

"Nyahahaha, you're always so funny." She laughed like a little girl, although calculating her current age would be impossible.

"And what do you want?"

Kamijou hurried to ask.

"I just wanted to see you and since we're connected by that hand, I guess you cannot help it, right?"

She bowed her head.

"So is."

He smiled bitterly.

"Now, I'm here because I've recently felt something very bad about you."

She looked serious in saying that. She moved to where he was and sat down beside him.

"Something bad?"

"That's right, something that is not from this world is very close to you."

Since her speech was too strange and since she used many "old" words Kamijou found it difficult to understand what she said.

"Tell me what you mean by that."

"Okay, okay, you're not funny when you're impatient."

She moved her feet as she spoke.

"Apparently there is a powerful grimoire in this city, no, I think it's better to say that there is a walking weapon in this city."

As always Kamijou did not understand exactly what she was saying.

"That walking weapon has the ability to recreate a war that could end this world."

Kamijou listened with caution to every word that came out of her mouth.

"By the way, two factions are looking for that weapon."

"Two factions?"

"The organization called Annihilatus."

"Who are those Annihilatus?"

"They are an organization that eliminates beings that shouldn't exist so to speak and of course that includes you."

The girl smiled as she took his right hand.

At the same time she pressed her small chest against him with a grin.

"W-wait stops doing that."

"Nyahahaha, I like it when you make that expression."

As always, she liked to provoke him.

"And who are the other faction?"

This time the girl put a serious face while she thought carefully.

"If we put it in a nutshell, demons."

This time it's something even Kamijou had not expected.

"You talk about the faction of the Demon King?"

She nodded.

"No, that should not be possible, I heard from my contacts that the Maou had died."

Since Kamijou had met a demon a few years ago this had helped him enter that hidden world.

"I don't know very well what is happening, but it seems that someone took their place, a guy called Zolgear."

"I see, that's bad."

"But it also seems that Zolgear is looking for a specific power or something, it seems that the daughter of the Demon King Wilbert managed to escape and is currently hidden in the human world."

Kamijou sighed as he thought.

On one side is that demon looking for Wilbert's daughter. And on the other hand is the affair of Annihilatus and the grimoire.

"And what are you going to do, Master?"

The girl said with great expectation.

"Just give me a break."

He said reluctantly.

Having a double life wasn't exactly what he would call having a normal student life. And although he wanted to change that, there was no going back.

The actions themselves lead us to our destiny.

If that means understanding the why of his right hand he will keep trying.

"By the way, today there is a meeting at the base."

"I'm not going."

"But you're the leader."

"Never accept that job, I just said I would help them, now leave me alone."

Receiving a night call from the organization in which he worked to take charge of demons wasn't something gratifying. To be honest, it's better to be a delinquent than to be a part-time mercenary.

An unknown creature...

Something from another world...

Something came out of nowhere...

"Looks like we've been found, Master."

A dozen shadows rose from the earth, rising into the air. He could feel the demonic aura around him.

"Ugh, really, what I have to do to bring some luck there in my life."

"Don't complain it's funny to see your face."

To bring chaos...

The fangs of the beast destroyed an existence of another world.

That power that could deny and reject things that didn't belong here.

The boy known as 'Fantasy Killer' eliminated another being once again.

"Tonight is a little uneasy, huh?"

As his right hand crushed the last part of an unfortunate being, his eyes shone. The girl and the boy walked in the dark night once more.

"By the way, I would like to eat something hot."

"Wait, after disappearing for a few days the first thing you say is that you want to eat?"

The girl made an angry expression.

"Even when I lend you my help, you still dare to treat me this way?"

Kamijou lamented the loss in his wallet.

That shouldn't be possible.

Only a meter away, the figure stopped in surprise.

Looking everywhere, looking for the target.

That objective.

Kamijou Touma.

Shizuri Mugino smiled to herself.

Tick tock, tick tock-

The boring reality continued.

No one knew what kind of end they would find in the middle of this dangerous trip.

Life is like that and destiny is the same.

However, unlike normal people there were some irregularities in the world.

Beings that did not fit, people with extraordinary powers, abilities that had changed the destiny of many.

Under that cloak of light, the starry sky couldn't be seen.

So far demons and heroes had maintained a non-aggression pact.

It seems that a new war is about to begin.

"It seems that Fantasy Killer and Nightmare managed to eliminate the demons who had managed to escape the barrier, but honestly I don't know if we can trust these guys."

A woman with black hair and crimson eyes was sitting reading the organization's recent reports.

"It's not the time for talks, get in their positions. The armies of the demon king are about to leave. We have to avoid their ascension at all costs. At the moment the barrier placed by that prestigious member of the Onmyouji family works perfectly. "

"Aye, boss!"

Then the secretary who had entered the office left.

Aria, the red-eyed woman sighed rather tired looking at the personal files of the recent members.

Class 666

That's how the group of people with unusual abilities was called. With only six members their duty was to stop the constant advances of the demon 'Tiamat' a powerful Demon King who had broken the pact of non-aggression with the clan of the heroes.

But the thing doesn't seem to work.

"Zolgear also seems to have his eyes set on this world."

If two factions of demons attack the earth, all would surely be in serious trouble. It is for this reason that she was ordered to create a team different from that of the hero clan.

"But they're just a bunch of social misfits."

She sighed again.

For now there is nothing more to trust in these children.

And somewhere else the bearer of the powerful demonic sword Brynhildr was approaching dangerously close to them.
