After hearing the sound of an explosion from outside Liam and Rigel as well as his guardian spirit looking for the origin of the source of the commotion, which turned out not so far from the house where they were staying.
Rigel's originally small protective spirit transformed him into a giant. The original form of that little beast was the fire dragon. Different from her cute appearance cute and fluffy soft red variety small. When in the fighting version Brandon looks more ferocious. This protective spirit of Rigel's was one of the strongest among the spirits, making it difficult to control it initially.
Rigel was also finally preparing for his defensive position, the red-haired man and the green eyes looked so excited.
Liam also changed into the form of a fighter. Finally the original form of the Dark Spirit that attacked the village was visible, the shape of the Spirit was a giant black wolf whose eyes flashed red.
"That spirit has already increased its power," Lyam muttered preparing to attack.
"It can't be allowed" Rigel said and began to have Brandon attack the creature.
They must defeat it before it becomes more powerful and destructive in the human world. If that happens, there will be a lot of casualties. Liam can't allow that, neither can Rigel.
Kashel seemed to have regained consciousness from his sleep. After he realized that Kashel was evacuating the villagers who were gathering noticed the commotion, because he heard the sound of a large explosion.
Luckily they listened to Kashel's excuse, to tell them to leave the place. I don't know what Kashel told them so the people believed him.
Kashel activated his barrier spell so that the Spirit could not enter the safe region that Kashel had fitted with his barrier spell talisman. That was how Kashel's barrier spell worked he used a spell paper to activate his ability.
He could use that ability, despite not having any magic energy before, unlike now. It's just that the shape of the symbol is very complicated not many people can make it properly. But Kashel was able to master it with his own efforts.

"Kashel have you realized?" ask Rigel.
"If I hadn't realized I couldn't have come here, you'd have asked a strange question." Kashel.
"I feel like I haven't spoken in a long time." Rigel was happy, with Liam he was afraid to talk carelessly. And Kashel realized how bad Rigel was when he only left Kashel alone with Liam like that. Moreover, Rigel is a person who talks a lot, it is also impossible for him to invite his guardian spirit to tell a story for the sake of entertaining himself. They started to focus on their enemies again.
"I hope you don't push yourself Kashel." Say Lyam.
"It won't be anything, if you don't let the place get hit I'll be fine." Obviously Kashel, pointing at the territory he cast a spell on.
"I'll protect her," Liam darted and was already directly beside the Dark Spirit.
Wow, he's fast. Rigel and Kashel's inner selves were at once amazed at Liam's fighting style. Lyam's sword instantly split the monster apart, but he managed to escape into a puff of smoke. And he wants to attack Rigel and Kashel again. The smoke made it to Kashel and Rigel. Makes the two look back on their sad past. But they both smiled because of it.
"I've made peace with my past." Rigel murmured excitedly.
"If I can't get through my past, I won't live to this day." Kashel.
"Protective spell!" The smoke was blown away as it smashed into Kashel's barrier spell. Rigel attacked him with his fire power. After that the spirit ran away again. Kashel panted for it, his strength still not fully recovered.
"I told you not to push yourself" said Lyam, who was suddenly beside Kashel.
He was even more sinister than the enemy he was facing, the shocked inner Rigel looked at Liam who suddenly appeared.
Suddenly from the other direction there was a needle attack last night. Lyam swiftly lifted Rigel and Kashel away from the place. Rigel didn't expect Liam would bring himself with him either.
"I don't want last night to happen again, you have to fight well don't be a burden." Said Lyam and Rigel only dare to nod. It seems that Liam was angry that Kashel was exhausted from holding Rigel's rampage last night.
"A human being? He was cooperating with that Dark Spirit." Kashel said he saw it from behind a tree.
"I will destroy this village. Since this village my husband is dead, I will avenge him!" turns out it was a woman. The poisonous needles were traps he set up to finish off Kashel's team.
"His inner eye was open, because of his extremely strong hatred towards this village." Liam said again.
"I will give everything to the darkness from which this village can be destroyed" after which it is swallowed up by the spirit of darkness. The villagers witnessed the incident with their own eyes.
The dark spirit began to be seen in the eyes of the villagers, an attack leading to it. But there is a protective spell belonging to the active Kashel. So that the attack can not penetrate it, if for one attack.
"Run!" Kashel shouted, all the villagers left the place.
"Ukh!" The effect of the protective spell that was struck by the attack was already felt on Kashel's body. Kashel's body began to feel weak.
"It's okay, it's just like I'll reach my limit in a moment." Kashel said tiredly.
Liam had already started attacking the Dark Spirit but his body could be turned into a puff of smoke, although the Spirit could not hurt Liam but Liam's attack was useless as well. The spirit was only slightly injured.
And it is known that the Spirit turned out to have the power of fire as well. The smoke he gives off turns into heat and if exposed to the skin can hurt others. Rigel smiled because of that, he remained beside Kashel guarding her. The hot smoke had no effect on him, but his ability to do so did not injure Kashel and protect him. However, Kashel still felt the heat.
"Huh! You challenge me, fight who's hottest here. Nothing can beat me about the burning heat. Except these two guys! Haha." Rigel shouted on the roof of the house owned by residents. The two of them were picked up by Lyam up there and until now have not come down.
"God I'm so embarrassed" Kashel muttered, covering her face. Because Rigel's screams are so loud in there.
"Brandon strikes the smoke with the strength of your fire" Rigel commands Brandon and the dragon gushes out its fire with great force. The spirit was intending to fight back but what Rigel said was true, the fire was hot nothing had beaten the heat of the fire except for Kashel and Liam. But somehow Liam did not think also to use the fire element when attacking the creature. The creature was successfully eliminated.
"Hahaha, I win when it's hot." Rigel still prides himself Kashel beside him back falling unconscious out of steam. Upon seeing the already unconscious Kashel, Rigel instantly fell silent.
Why would you leave me alone again with Liam, Kashel! rigel shouted inwardly, he no longer dared to speak after that. Lyam came to pick up Kashel's unconscious body.
After everything felt safe, Rigel asked for an explanation about a woman who was willing to sacrifice herself to the Spirit of Darkness, what happened actually to the village so that the village was affected by darkness.

The village chief explained that the woman's husband and the woman were immigrants there, but they were a family of thieves. So when caught stealing the family's husband in the amuk time until he died.
Not long after, the place begins to be haunted by the Spirit of Darkness, the people involved in the braking one by one start acting crazy, like fear of something and then end up committing suicide. But when buried the bodies of those disappeared. However, not all of them had been killed by the Dark Spirit.
After getting an explanation, Rigel and his friends choose to withdraw. Giving the rest of the work on the case of the thief to the police, the police who will solve the case, after the Spirit of Darkness was destroyed.
Until the end of the case Kashel knew nothing. He woke up from his sleep already in his room in the Dusk Boundary Division. After seeing the reports about the actual incident. Kashel did not know who to blame.
On the other hand stealing is guilty, but judging others to death is also wrong. Especially after that the family of the perpetrators of revenge to the point of wanting to destroy the entire village that had accepted as a citizen there, even the ignorant wanted to be involved it was excessive and the grudge was too outrageous for Kashel, because he wanted to exterminate all those who were guilty or not. In the end human hatred was only harnessed by the Spirit of Darkness for the sake of his own ambitions as well. Think Kashel.
This time Kashel can only give everything to the justice of the country, this country decides everything by its rules of course.

"Kashel you're conscious apparently," welcome Kashel's friends.
"How long have I been asleep?" kashel asked confusedly, his friend seemed very happy because Kashel had regained consciousness.
"Two days," Kashel was surprised to hear the explanation, he hurriedly wanted to contact Grizelle fearing the woman was looking for him.
"Thank God you're sober." Grizelle smiled as she greeted Kashel, she was already there, carrying a plate filled with food. Apparently Kashel's friends agreed to call Grizelle to cook their meals in the office, since the departure of Kashel to the village and even when Kashel was unconscious.
"The food is ready, it's time to eat." Kashel just kept quiet to see Grizelle.
"Why? You're not happy I'm here?" Kashel.
"Thank you for taking care of my friends when I'm not around." Kashel said.
"Why not, they're my friends too." Grizelle smile.

Kashel and Grizelle did not eat lunch with Kashel's starving friends.
They both chose to go to the park near the office, spending their alone time there. The two of them enjoyed their lunch while talking. But eventually Kashel's friends interfere with their togetherness.
"Where do you eat your own food, don't bother us!" kashel shouted at last but his friends did not want to know and still disturbed there and brought all the food out.
Lyam was seen sitting on a tree stalk just watching them all. I don't know what else will happen tomorrow after their peaceful day.
