The Borders
Section 54 – Darkness in Forbidden Forests
That morning Reiner looked very serious reading a report paper he had just received from the Head Office.
"Why does Uncle look so serious?" kashel asked curiously to see Rainer who was not as usual.
"We're going to do Kashel's dangerous job" Rainer put down the report paper and lit his cigarette again.
"Uncle, sorry in advance can Uncle reduce the habit of Uncle smoking." Kashel sat down beside Rainer.
"Do you not like the smoke of Kashel cigarettes?" Rainer asked again.
"Not so Uncle, I'm just worried about Uncle's health." Obviously Kashel became unpleasant because of it.
"You don't have to worry about me, with this cigarette I can relieve my anxiety." Rainer smiled at Kashel and rubbed Kashel's head. Kashel was only speechless because he only knew Rainer had anxiety too, a great person like him.
"What makes Uncle so anxious?" kashel asked curiously looking at Rainer.
"You don't need to know about Kashel as time goes by for sure you'll know too." Rainer stared out the window as he continued to smoke his cigarette.
In time you'll see what I see in Kashel, but maybe you won't worry more than me who wasn't chosen. Inner Rainer continued her words.
Kashel who heard Rainer's explanation became inquisitive as well because Kashel knew, although it was worrying that it was also a personal right for someone to tell him or not.
Then Kashel read the report that Rainer put on the table.
"Forbidden Forest, no one can return from there when we enter it." Kashel read it into a quiver, and made Kashel think maybe that was what made Rainer feel anxious.
"Uncle is this task, harmless to those of us who have no protective spirit at all ?" ask Kashel.
"Because that's a suitable task for us Kashel." Rainer only answered briefly not explaining anything, but Kashel did not ask either.
In fact, the Head Office gave Rainer that dangerous assignment because they knew of Rainer's relationship with the Guardian. So the task was suitable for him, because if anything happened the Guardian would definitely intervene to help them. The Head Office really made good use of it.

"If you don't want to come along, you can just stay Kashel, there's no need to take part in this mission." Rainer was preparing his stock items into a bag.
"Of course I went with Uncle, although not very useful I wanted to be able to help Uncle. I won't run as long as it's my job, even if I have to." Kashel said with confidence.
"You are indeed a good son of Kashel." Rainer took something from his bag and took out a small sword.
"You can defend yourself?" rainer asked unconvinced by Kashel's circumstances. For Rainer the nature of Kashel is too soft.
"If it was to take care of myself I think I could, I used to study at my residence and at the academy. Although not as great as the other Border Guard Knights." Kashel explained while remembering when he last practiced martial arts with someone else.
"Catch her!" Rainer threw the small sword at Kashel so that Kashel caught it.
"What do you feel when you hold that sword?" Rainer asked Kashel.
"The material is very light, Uncle." Kashel pulled it out of its sheath and swung it, then the sword split open the table in front of it without touching it at all. Kashel reflexively immediately released the sword looking extremely shocked.
"Haha!" Rainer instead laughed at Kashel's expression which he found funny.
"Why didn't Uncle explain it from the beginning, if it was swung to Uncle, Uncle could be in danger." Kashel protested in annoyance, not knowing that the sword had magical powers.
"Have nothing to think about, take the sword we're leaving now." Rainer stood up and was now holding his bag.
"All right, Uncle." Kashel complied with Rainer, he quickly put the sword into its sheath and followed Rainer behind.
This kid, he really is the person that Lord Guardian is looking for. No one could hold that sword if he was really an ordinary person, because it would feel heavy to them even the Boundary Guard Knights though. The sword made from pure magic energy belonged to the Guardian Lord. Rainer's inner gaze at Kashel who was holding the dangerous sword was very careful.
That afternoon they both left the inn room they had rented a few days ago. Room 666 and continue their mission in the Forbidden Forest.
.

After boarding some transportation and leaving Baltesam city, they both arrived at the gate of the Forbidden Forest in the Western region of their home city.
The forest gatekeeper approached them, and then Rainer gave his warrant from The Borders Organization to enter the Forbidden Forest.
After discussing and researching the authenticity of the letter they were both welcome into the Forbidden Forest.
"Are you sure thin people like them can handle things beyond reason?" whispered the guard guard guarding the forest gate.
"Hus! They do look weak and thin, but that doesn't mean they can be considered weak, even if they look like that." The other guard immediately protested the words of his friend just now.

Having just stepped foot into the Forbidden Forest, Rainer and Kashel had already felt the changing air.
"You should beware of Kashel, holding your sword in a position ready to be removed at any time." Rainer gave Kashel the order.
Although Kashel's glasses had not been fitted, it seemed that the Spirit of Darkness they were about to encounter was a Spirit of Darkness that could injure ordinary people as well.
"It looks like our arrival has already been welcomed by the owner of the place." Rainer looked up and there were many weak Dark Spirits with no form watching their arrival.
However, no one dared to approach the two of them because the Master who had the place seemed to be waiting for their arrival so the weak did not dare to interfere.
Kashel took her spirit glasses and wore them out of curiosity. He was shocked when he felt a real aura that felt like it was overpowering him strongly.
"You better not use Kashel's spirit glasses, so you're just wasting your energy. Because our enemy can now be seen without those glasses." Rainer pointed towards the front. Seen from that direction a black dragon of considerable size might be the size of a Protective Spirit staring at them with its red eyes. And from his mouth let out a hot smoke from his mouth.
"The delicious food has come here all by itself, come here let me eat you until your bones are not there."
Heavy and raucous sounds echoed in the ears of Kashel and Rainer and even Kashel until he closed his ears the loud crest of the sound entered his eardrums.
Horrifically. Kashel sat there, the longer the spirit of darkness he faced became stronger.
