The Shadow Knight

Chapter 11: Light vs Shadow

Night time

Asta: "wakes up and look around" It's been awhile since I've been here 

???: Asta, How are you? 

"Asta looked to the person who called him"

Asta: I'm okay, just a little tired. Hey, before I was captured, My power like burst and powered up or something?

Sung jin woo: Seems your power is increasing

Asta: Increasing?

Sung jin woo: Just think of it like your leveling up 

Asta: Like a game of some sort?

Sung jin woo: you could say it like that, bit by bit you're unlocking your power. That's why your felt your power burst

Asta: Interesting, I also got a new spell from that

Sung jin woo: What is it?

Asta: I thought you can see the outside from in here?

Sung jin woo: I stop doing that because I feel like I'm invading your privacy. That's why I stopped

Asta: Oh, okay. Well the spell name is Abyssal Roar, It releases some of my shadow energy and takes a form of a dragon. It's like a beam but when I used it, It was weak because I'm already exhausted by that time. That's why I don't know what can it do

Sung jin woo: Hmm, interesting. Maybe that spell is really powerful from what I heard from you, so train it, ok?

Asta: I will

"They talked about random things"

Sung jin woo: Hey, Asta?

Asta: Yeah, what is it?

Sung jin woo: Have you ever heard about devils?

Asta: Now you mention it, only in stories, Why?

Sung jin woo: Well, When I was alive, I actually fought devils

Asta: They're real?  

Sung jin woo: So real. I remember when I first encountered a devil, a figure with claws, fangs, and terrifying faces. Merciless beings that would not give a second thought to kill

Asta: How many are there?

Sung jin woo: Thousands...

Asta: 'shock' Are they powerful?

Sung jin woo: Well, some of them are weak but some of them are also strong. A fought a few of the weak ones but the strong ones, they're like on another level. I witnessed them kill without mercy

Asta: 'shock' *From what he said, these guys are no joke. I need to train more if I want to protect them* Thanks for the information

Sung jin woo: Don't mention it

"There was silence. After a few minutes, Asta thought a question which was in his mind for a while"

Asta: Hey, brother?

Sung jin woo: Yeah?

Asta: I was wondering a lot lately

Sung jin woo: What is it?

Asta: What was Mom and Dad like?

Sung jin woo: "smiles" For me, Mom and Dad are the best parents in the world because of how they treated and care for us. Then there was you "he looks at Asta" When you arrived, We were so happy and grateful that we have you "smiles" It's like you complete our lives. but.... Not all good things last... A few months after you arrived the village got attacked, Devils roamed around the village, killing everyone. While that was happening, I escaped with you in my arms. I-I... "Tears started to run down his face"
