I Told You We Would Meet Again

"Very well, keep an eye on her so she doesn't cause any trouble." Anton ended the call with the priests who had picked up Rose and walked back to the desk, where there were numerous inscriptions.

Throughout this time, he had been investigating Rose's behavior and discovered that she was sometimes possessed by the demon tormenting her, so to prevent some problems, he sent those prepared priests.

Meanwhile, Anton began to prepare for his attempt to rid Rose of the evil, tormenting her in such a way that the demon practically gave her no rest.

"Priest Anton, the special room is ready." Alexander, in a black suit, approached Anton and informed him of the progress of the task he had given him.

"Very well, let's wait for the arrival of the priests to begin." Anton nodded as he read a book on black magic.

Over time, he realized that some demons had directly emerged from black magic, making them so little known that they caused many problems. To know the name of such an entity, it required exorcism.

As the minutes passed, Anton knew he had to prepare, so he entered the bathroom, which was not actually a bathroom, and pressed a button under a shelf. The wall changed, revealing numerous weapons.

To eliminate this dark entity, he would need demon-killing dust bullets. This type of dust came from a purple flower that only grew in cemeteries. Used for elimination purposes, it was undoubtedly one of the most effective ways to eliminate evil when you didn't know what could harm it.

"With about ten bullets, it will be more than enough." Anton took a sawn-off shotgun and began loading ten cartridges into the chamber.

He then walked and took a pair of silver gauntlets that had been given to him, and finally, he pulled out a long silver dagger.

When he held this dagger in his hand, the feeling of having something powerful to cause harm filled his body. As he swung the blade of this dagger, Anton felt as if he had practiced for a long time.

The sound of the sharp metal cutting through the air could be heard in the room.

With no tremor in his palm, Anton precisely stabbed the imaginary enemy in front of him. The experience of stabbing was well ingrained in his mind, remembering all those times he fought against dark entities hand-to-hand.

It was quick, precise, and flawless.

"Is this my new strength now? I could kill a gorilla if I set my mind to it." Anton was just saying random words, but now he indeed had a much greater capacity than before.

Knock! Knock!

"Sir, they have arrived."

Anton, who was preparing for whatever was to come, looked towards the door and heard Alexander's words. "I'll be down in a minute; start preparing the barrier."

"Understood, sir!"

Knowing his guest was here, Anton sheathed his dagger, looked at himself in the mirror, and sighed with a bit of resignation when he saw his hair covering part of his face. Today, he shouldn't make any mistakes; at least he wanted to start again on the right foot.

It was hard to imagine that, despite having great abilities, he still lost many people in battle. He knew he couldn't save everyone, but at least it was that protective feeling that kept him going.

Anton, ready, left the bathroom, walked towards the stairs, and descended very slowly, as if he wanted to feel the aura of the surroundings before.

"Mrs. Rose, I told you we would meet again." Anton walked into the room where Rose was and said these words at first, as if he wanted to make something clear.

Rose looked up, looked at Anton, and asked, "How did you know I had been marked by a supernatural entity before I did?"

"There are things that cannot be easily known; as I said before, I regret not being able to explain them to you that same day, but it would be safe to say that you wouldn't believe me just like the people close to you didn't believe you." Anton said as he sat down in front of Rose, who at this moment seemed very worn out.

"So, can you help me?"

"First, you must understand your problem."
