The End of the Conflict (II)

"What the heck!?" yelled Victor when for the surprise of both his claymore was cut on half without any effort.

I did that?

"So it was true..."

This Object is more incredible than I thought on the beginning. I believed that they were mere exaggerations of that being, it looks like I was wrong.

"It can't be! A stupid Spiritist like you was able to destroy it? An incomplete weapon like yours isn't supposed to do that... what the hell is happening?"

"Spiritist?"

It's the first time I heard that word. Maybe it's another way of referring to those who have the same abilities? Certainly it's simpler and shorter for naming the "Chosen by the light".

"Yes, that's it. A Spiritist is a person capable of using his inner shine and call an accessory or weapon... but I should be the only one on this world with this power. What did it serve to do so many rituals of sacrifice to obtain this blessing if everyone can become one!?"

"What are you talking about? What rituals?"

"The truth is that you don't know anything, nobody does! All of you were lucky enough to obtain your powers after that night. I have been doing a lot of research to find a way to tear the physical matter, and leave exposed a channel so that the soul could manifest. Countless sacrifices had to be made to observe in which moment and what conditions a person can extract only a part of his spirit without everything went out of control and left. You know how much it took to get enough kids to experiment with? You have no idea!"

"You sacrificed innocent children to achieve your stupid ideals? You're crazy!"

"How you dare say stupid! This is the future! Been able to manifest the soul outside the physical body is easier to do when the subject it's pure and young. The older they become the more they lose their innocence and that makes the process harder. The human being must go back to their spiritual way of reconnecting with the rest of the world, this is just the first step. A few sacrifices are a small price to pay for the wellness of the whole race. Don't you agree?"

"Victor..."

"Despite my years of hard work on studies and testing I was able to get a result, I managed to became the world's first Spiritist! As it was written on that book of legends, I managed to complete it and made it a reality. I'm a genius! Although a month later the fateful events of the day of the Apocalypse took place, and everyone on the world gets a chance to obtain the same power that costed me so much to develop... it's not fair!"

"..."

"Well, thanks to that I got a new blessing. I thought that I was the only one with 2 weapons, until I met you. I guess you are an anomaly. Between the Spiritist I have collected on this city I haven't seen one as peculiar as you. Usually just a few are able to master their soul to a level of unlocking an special skill. Your glove posses more than one, for being the accessory type is nothing that necessarily stands out"

"An accessory... eh?"

That always crossed my mind, that this on my left hand was not appropriate for combat. Surely that was what guide me to summon my Object. Even so, this shot and dexterity skills have helped me so much, I can't underestimate them.

"Although adding your incomplete sword, your situation is something that escapes my comprehension. My greatsword should be enough to prove that I'm stronger, but now it has been destroyed by you... unforgivable. Play time is over"

Victor raised his shield and pointed at me. A light appeared like before when he tried to take control of my glove.

"... what are you true ambitions? Make everyone your slaves?"

"I planned to brainwash you like the rest and make you a part of my pawns, however it doesn't seems to work. Like I though, that katana you have it's an incomplete power, that's why I can't control it. No problem, it's not that I need you. I rather see you death"

A new light appears from within. This makes a field that expands and covers everything on a 15 meters area.

"..."

I only observe on silence.

"Now you'll see why I'm this place's leader. I present you with my special technique, Spirit Killer! This skill prevents the activation of any Spiritist weapon besides mine. With this you're doomed!"

"... moron"

I step forward.

"Wait! Why you still have your sword!? It must have vanished like the rest no matter how much incomplete it is..."

I continue on towards him.

This person has killed countless innocent lifes for his own ego. Hundreds are under his mind control and thousands have suffered the consequences of this reign of terror.

"I'm going to show you that power isn't everything"

"It doesn't work...? What the hell is that thing you hold in your hands?"
