Grizelle was not afraid or anything, she felt that her presence there was even a burden to Kashel, because it prevented her from acting.
"I'm sorry Kashel for hindering you" Grizelle again apologized.
"It's okay, Grizelle, my main job is to take care of you. Protecting you from danger." Kashel convinced Grizelle.
"What exactly invited the Spirit of Darkness here. Though this place has no strange signs." Kashel murmured thinking, how could such a strange thing happen.
"Can't we enjoy the holidays well, without the case of the Spirit of Darkness." Kashel grumbled in protest.
"Already Kashel has no point in complaining, you have to solve this problem. To enjoy the holidays well again." Grizelle comforts the restless-looking Kashel, even though the lighting is only from a cell phone flashlight. Grizelle realized that her lover was restless at the time.
"You're right Grizelle. I'm gonna sort this out. Stay by my side hold my hand, don't take it off." Kashel said he grasped Grizelle's finger tightly so as not to escape from her.
"Don't be afraid of me, I'll use my abilities." Kashel was somewhat hesitant, fearing his abnormal ability as a human instead frightened his lover.
"I'm fine, there's no reason for me to be afraid of you." Grizelle convinced Kashel to tighten her grip without any intention of letting go.
"Alright, black energy is approaching here. I'll stall him." Kashel explains to Grizelle that the girl does not know anything because she does not see it, and that Kashel's goal is to keep Grizelle by her side. For Grizelle not to feel fear, because fear is one of the search for the Spirit of Darkness that can absorb the energy of ordinary human life.
"The light sword." Kashel opened his right palm, a light emerged from Kashel's hand and slowly turned into a sword which made the room slightly bright because of the light from his sword.
"Aren't you afraid to see me like this?" Although Grizelle knew all the secrets about Kashel, Grizelle never saw Kashel fight in person.
The strength of The Borders could be seen by ordinary people as being different from the Boundary Guard Knights, hence Kashel also rarely used his strength.
"I'm not afraid of you, you used that power to protect someone else Kashel, I really appreciate that. And you're cool." That was the answer Grizelle gave Kashel. And Grizelle continued to hold onto Kashel's hand while looking at the man's face.
Kashel was delighted to hear Grizelle's revelation, unlike the others. Everyone whether it was an ordinary person or a special capable person, all of them had their own fears towards Lyam and Kashel, due to the terrifying aura of the strength of both of them.
In contrast to Grizelle from the very beginning the girl, had no fear at all towards her. Even when all his friends ran away scared.
Kashel slowly outlined his sword of light on the black smoke that was approaching him so that the black smoke disappeared instantly.
Grizelle was just watching, she knew Kashel was facing something even though she didn't see it, so she didn't have to ask much. Then the sword disappeared from Kashel's hand.

Outside Lyam and the other members of Kashel were busy dispelling the dark spirits who were interested in approaching the inn so as not to disturb the lives of ordinary people.
"Let's!"
A shout from the innkeeper's room. Making those who were nearby surprised by it, it happened that Chain who was nearby directly entered through the innkeeper's room door. He was surprised because, the wisps of black smoke of the Dark Spirit had already gathered tightly there.
"What the fuck?!"
Even Chain was completely surprised.
He then called his other friends and they all finally gathered there.
The inn lights were originally extinguished, coming back to life. The electricity that illuminated the inn was slightly disturbed due to the black energy that had suddenly gathered, the lights lit up when they had all gathered in the innkeeper's room because the black energy had gathered there.
The black smoke that gathered made the Dark Spirit become strong. But the energies were slowly gathering there as if passing through them and gathering to the core point.
"How about this, what should we do?" Freda was confused as to what to do.
The innkeeper looked so frightened in the corner of the room.
Liam then slashed the black spirit group before it became stronger.
It turned out that with the sword of light, Liam could instantly weaken that black spirit.
"That black core was visible, right in the middle of that black smoke plume," Kashel saw the core of the black spirit and all his friends working together to destroy it. With their cooperation the Spirit of Darkness was successfully destroyed.
But the black magic stone that absorbed the black energy did not shatter and fell onto the floor of the room. And Lyam noticed it.
"What's that?" Kyler's curious.
"Black magic stone." Lyam replied, The curious Grizelle wanted to see as well, but her eyes were ordinary human eyes, so she saw nothing there.
"How does this stone exist in the human world?" Liam asked himself, because he knew the black magic stone was supposed to be in the spirit world.
Lyam grasped it and then wiped it to dust. A cloaked man who seemed to be waiting for something outside instantly left after the black stone was crushed by Liam.
Liam realized someone with dark energy was watching them all so he rushed out and checked around.
"Damn it, that guy managed to escape." Liam said annoyed. Then Lyam went back into the innkeeper's room.
"You! Who gave the magic stone." Liam spoke coldly while holding the owner's collar.
"Hey Liam stop, you can't be so rude." Kashel broke Lyam's actions, and none of Kashel's other friends dared to do so.
"I'm sorry for my friend's insolence sir" Kashel bowed his body apologizing. Liam just threw his face the other way.
"How did you get that stone?" kashel asked nicely now, for the stone should not be seen by ordinary humans like the innkeeper.
"I really don't know if the stone will be a bad influence, son, I am an ambitious person to build my inn business well.
"My desire is for this inn to run smoothly. So that I look for shortcuts to be able to advance my inn.
"My great desire led me to the man who gave me the stone, and he said it would make my inn more advanced.
"But I don't know if it's deceiving me, my desire is too great that I don't think long and believe in the words that bring disaster." Clearly the innkeeper, his strong desire invited darkness and opened his inner eyes, so that it could be utilized by the Spirit of Darkness.
"Yes sir, the point is now that you are okay next time you have to be careful, if you want to go forward try hard sir. Don't even look for shortcuts that aren't sure, because everything has to pay." Kashel gave advice.
"Thank you all for helping me, from now on I will be even more careful." The man bowed in thanks to Kashel and his friends. He would no longer mess with such a dark world.

"Even a strong desire can invite darkness," Rigel muttered as he left the innkeeper's room.
"If it's on the wrong path, it's all got to have a dark side." Erphan.
"You're right." Rigel justifies the word Erphan.
Hearing that Kashel recalled his past where he used to also have a very ambitious desire and instead made him almost destroyed in the end.
