32: Cloak and Dagger

Hoseok's POV

I slowly floated in the air as I stared into Jimin's eye who was floating as well. One last talk. Probably I could bring him back.

He was not Jimin. Not the one I know. Certainly not. "Because I am a devil." He replied with a smirk.

Of course, he has the power of mind so he can read mine.

He looked around and saw people of the Kamar Taj using his magic as a shield around the fort. Namjoon's men were ready with their rifles and guns too. "All of this for a girl whom you just met yesterday, Hoseok. Incredible." He said and turned to look at me intensely.

"Jimin, you are just justifiably angry. You had to make terrible sacrifices-"

"I blew a whole planet along with my parents, all for nothing. Everyone bullied me for my abilities. All of them laughed at me. They called my parents a fool. They tried to kill them and eventually me-"

"But you killed them! ALL OF THEM! YOUR PARENTS TOO!"

"NO! I DIDN'T!" He screamed with his eyes fired up. "My powers did! I was young. You were not there! No one was!" He yelled and then his eyes looked behind me. "So I will make sure that I get to be with my sister after all of this so that I am not alone!"

"Do not dare to enter these sacred grounds," I warned, sternness lacing in my voice. He gazed back at me darkly. "You have no idea how reasonable I've been." He said and I scoffed.

"Book of the Damned, calling yourself a devil, conjuring creatures to abduct a girl. I don't exactly call that being reasonable," I replied, looking at him in disbelief. He smiled, tilting his head. His black-horned mask was outlining his shiny yellow eyes.

"Sending those creatures after her instead of myself was me being reasonable. And in spite of your hypocrisies and insults, I have begged you to safely get out of my way. You have exhausted my patience, but I do hope you understand that even now what's about to happen, this is me being reasonable." He said and threw a fireball at me.

But the forces down below used their powers to form a shield for me. Jimin gritted his teeth while increasing his power to break the shield but everyone down there used their spells to protect me. I took a deep breath, and turned back, floating back to the temple fort.

"How did the talk go?" Namjoon asked me and I hissed with a lop-sided grin. "Nailed it!" I replied.

Yoongi sighed beside me and declared loudly to the mystical forces of Kamar Taj, "Reinforce the shield! Conjure weapons! The staff of relief tribunals. The wand of Batoom. The vaulting boots of Valtorr. Cloak of Levitation. Daggers of Nisanti." 

Jimin smirked from above the shield. You know these can't bring me down, Hoseok. I could hear him in my mind. He was controlling it.

"Strengthen your minds, everyone! Don't let him get you!" I shouted as Jimin dropped his smile and started throwing his yellow fireballs at the shields to break them. He kept trying, flying in various directions while throwing continuous yellow flames but every time a shield would guard it.

So threw plenty of them at once. Ten fireballs at once but still the magical shield was not broken. He panted and stopped throwing fireballs as he gazed at us, darkly. His eyes moved from one person to another who was using their spells to keep the shield intact.

"He's trying to get in their heads," I said and turned to my people. "Fortify your mind!" I shouted and turned back. But Jimin smirked. One of our people cried out loud and ran through the forces, causing them to lose their focus and break the shield.

Shit!

"Shit!" I looked at Yoongi with big eyes and then back to Jimin who just built a massive yellow flame ball and threw it through the part of the shield that was broken. The flame ball landed on the fort and it exploded, causing stones and rocks to hit on people.

"The shield is down!" Namjoon screamed and I saw Jimin flying towards us with yellow flames in his hands. "Fire!" Namjoon's men started charging at him with their rifles and bullet but he made a shield with his powers and then threw that big magical shield at the gangsters.

The gangsters' collapsed along with the other part of the fort. Jimin kept throwing fireballs while dodging the bullets and attacks from our side. Every time we missed but he hit and destroyed a part of this temple along with our soldiers and forces.

It was like countless meteors landing on our fort like an apocalypse. 

But instead of the meteor, it was Jimin's power balls. "Hoseok! Get out of here!" Namjoon screamed pulling me back from him as I stared at Jimin, still throwing his power balls like bombs and throwing it at the fort, destroying the whole structure.

Jimin's POV

I landed on the destroyed structure and used my power to vanquish the possible lives within a few radii around me. I saw a man groaning but when my flame touched him, he just disappeared. I smirked and walked into the fort.

I entered the fort and saw Namjoon. I smiled at him. "Long time no see, Mafia," I said but he looked at me intensely before using his fists at me. But I used my power to stop him before he could touch me.

He glared at me but I smirked, tilting my head and throwing him away from me as he crashed onto the wall, breaking it and groaning in pain. He stood up and tried to approach me again. But I used my power and pushed him back on the broken wall, using my other hand, casting a spell to pick up the bricks and stones and cement him inside the wall.

Thus, cementing him inside the wall for a while. Power. Of course, he will be able to break it. Only his hands were visible outside the wall. I smirked and turned around. 

I smiled.

"You have to pass through me to get her," Taehyung said before shooting his green flames at me which I dodged. He gritted his teeth and his eyes glowed green. I frowned. No.

He stopped my movements. I couldn't move my arms. I couldn't use my mind powers. I glared at him. He smirked. "You can't do this. You cannot stop time," I said, gritting my teeth. "I just did," He said with a smirk. 

I closed my eyes and focused. Not my powers, I needed the dark magic. Darkhold. A spell came to my mind from the book. I smiled and looked at him.

"I am sorry, Taehyung. But I have to do this too."
