Ang Boyfriend Kong Demon King (Soon To Be Published)

Chapter 34 - Hashima

(POV Reichel)

Akala ko, babagsak kami sa Earth na parang isang meteor, pero pareho kami bumagsak ni Sage sa damuhan. Mabilis na tumakbo sa akin si Sage para tulungan ako tumayo.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" nag-aalalang tanong ni Sage.

"Ok lang naman, masakit lang yung tumbong ko. Asan na naman ba tayo?" tanong ko habang iniikot ang paningin ko.

Napapalibutan kami abandoned at dilapidated na buildings. I can also hear the sound of the ocean.

"We are in Japan," confident na sabi ni Sage sabay tanggal ng damo sa damit ko.

"Hiroshima? Sage, eto ba yung na atomic bomb nung World War 2?"

"Hashima Island in southern Japan. Isang abandoned and uninhabited island na dating coal mining facility. Dito nag shooting yung James Bond Skyfall movie. Kung bakit tayo dito tinapon ni Hades, don't ask me. Di ko din alam."

Kahit mataas ang sikat ng araw, the place looks haunted and creepy. Tatanungin ko pa sana si Sage, but I felt that we are not alone. Someone or something is observing us from afar. Something that spells danger and I can feel that we are not welcome here.

"Are you ready babe?" nakangiti niyang tanong as if nag-eexcite sa mga susunod na posibleng mangyayari.

"Ready for what?"

Sage did not answer me at mabilis niya akong binuhat. Using his lightning speed, nakaakyat kami sa ibabaw ng seven story building. From here, we can see several shadow-like creatures na naglalakad sa buong island. They are walking aimlessly as if they are trapped in this forsaken island.

"Sage, what are those? Parang shadow people?"

"Those entities are the Immundus or The Unclean. They were able to partially enter the World of the Living when both of you died. The two of you disturbed the balance..."

"Sir Hades, bakit parang kasalanan namin ni Sage kung bakit sila andito?" tanong ko sa mala Optimus Prime na boses.

"These beings are older the guardians. They have been living in The Void for the longest period of time. The only thing that is keeping them from entering this world is the power of Raviael and Lilith. Raviael shared his power to you Reichel, while Lilith's power is shared to you Sage. Even when you became humans, those powers are concealed deep within both of you."

"Hades, are you saying that when my wife and I died, fragments of these Immundus seeped to the World of the Living? It does not make sense, may anak kami. They inherited our power, they are more powerful than us. They should be able to sustain the balance between the light and darkness," paliwanag ni Sage pero ang mga mata niya ay nakatutok pa din sa mga shadow creatures na umiikot sa buong isla.

"You are right, they have absorbed some your talents as they are your own flesh and blood. But they are not guardians, they are mere humans. They can be killed. Unlike the two of you..."

Nagkatinginan lang kami ni Sage dahil hindi na namin maintindihan ang sinasabi ni Hades or kung sino man siya.

"You may not be aware, but Raviael and Lilith transferred their guardian powers to both of you. Both of you will take their place now. Both of you will handle their responsibility. Both of your are guardians now. Do you know why they are called guardians instead of angels? Because they are guarding heaven, earth and other worlds from these vile creatures."

"Sounds like fun to me. From a supernatural hunter, I was upgraded to a demon king. And now, I am a guardian. Isn't it cool?" tanong ni Sage.

"Anong cool dun? I don't even know kung kaya natin ma defeat ang mga shadow creatures na yan."

"Naging nanay ka lang, naging seryoso ka na sa buhay. We are already dead, babe. This our second chance to live again, together. At narinig mo ang sabi ni Optimus Prime? We can't be killed."

Somehow, naiintindihan ko si Sage. Kahit di niya sabihin, masayang masaya siya na magkasama kaming dalawa. Wala siya pakialam sa makakalaban namin. Ang importante sa kanya, we are both alive.

"The Immundus in this island lack power as of the moment as they are still adjusting. These are just bits and pieces of their selves. Your mission is to extinguish them before they become stronger. YOu need to send them back to The Void."

"Sir Hades? May balak ka ba sabihin sa amin kung paano namin gagawin yun?"

"You should know how, I am not a guardian. Both of you are..."

"Sage, tignan mo tong mahiwagang voice-over na si Sir Hades, wala man lang instructions ko kung ano ang gagawin natin sa mga shadow creatures na yan. "

"We should find out for ourselves. We have all the time in the world."

"Sir Hades, next time mas okay kung may tutorials or may demo ah?" sigaw ko kay Hades kung asan man siya or kung naririnig pa niya ko.
