Curse? or Power?

Chojiro felt bewildered looking at 7 unknown enemies rolling in the ground shouting, screaming as if they were experiencing the most fearsome thing that they ever experienced.

He doesn't know what is happening but he knows that it is Captain Fei who did it to them, looking at their twisted faces make him shudder.

"Done?"

"Not yet, a couple of more seconds."

"Is this fine? What if their mind breaks with this?"

"Don't worry, I'm holding back to preventing all from becoming a fool."

A couple of seconds more later, all the wailing and screaming finally stop, the 7 of them are panting heavily while lying on the floor.

Each theme looks lifeless, snot and tears are all over their face, they look blankly as if they soul left from their body.

"What should we do with them?" Chojiro asked.

"Nothing," Black said.

"Nothing?"

"That's right, nothing,"

"But they are all enemies, if we let them be, they will surely come back later," Chojiro angry said.

"But, I can't take all of them, I'm not as powerful as you think, if someone who is fearless comes we are surely dead."

"Then let's kill them, at least we can remove some of them if ever they still have a group." Chojiro walks at one of them and takes his Zanpakuto.

The three of them look passive on his suggestion after all, it's impossible for him to take even one of them down.

When Chojiro is about to deliver a killing blow, a white arrow suddenly comes flying towards him, making him block it and knock back.

"WHO!"

"It seems His Majesty is right, all of you encounter Captain Fei." A man said.

"Who are you!"

"My name.... Jugram Haschwalth "The Balance"..."

He then takes a shield composed of a gold Quincy Zeichen with its ground-facing limb extended past the others and solidifies Reishi between the limbs, giving it an angular appearance.

"Freund Schild"

From the 7 of them, black energy starts to come out gathering towards the shield that he is holding, Black looks at them with a passive gaze and slightly sighs.

"T-They healing!"

"Your wrong Mister Shinigami, they don't heal the misfortune that they experience is gathering towards my shield."

Rather than working as a defense against physical attacks, the Freund Schild absorbs all misfortune that would occur to Haschwalth, such as injuries sustained during a battle. Furthermore, using The Balance, Haschwalth can turn back the absorbed misfortune onto his opponent in order to further injure them.

But something wrong happens, Haschwalth suddenly kneels while holding his mouth, from his finger blood starts to sip out.

"T-This is not a simple injury.... What did you do to them." He asks while booking at Black.

"Fear….. Is not an injury or any kind of misfortune...."

"Fear is the thing that we all have."

"Fear is nothing less but it's always there."

"And fear cant remove even God itself."

"And you, a Mortal want to remove it? You're pretty confident in yourself."

Fear, Anger, Happiness, Sorrow, Envy, all of those are negative emotions, but even its negative emotion, you can still call it injury or debuff.

Emotion is not a sickness or wound that you can heal easily, emotion is a kind of pain on your own soul that can only head as time passes by.

Haschwalth who try to remove him cause backlash from their negative emotion causing him to have a chaotic mind right now.

But at the very least, he has a strong mind and will, if not he will go insane for sure.

"I did not expect that you can counter my own support equipment, his Majesty is right, you're the biggest obstacle to our plan."

"Even i try to reverse the damage from me and put to you, there still no effect at all,"

"The thing you got from them comes from me, giving it back as damage is idiotic because mine is always mine."

"But still, controlling fortune and misfortune is unique for a human-like you," Black looked at him and asked.

"So, how can you still be alive after using that ability with the body of a human?"

"This ability is given by His majesty, and His Majesty is the God, how can a power given by His Majesty cause harm to us?"

"The power within you and the other is just a curse," Black said.

"That's right, a curse, I can feel that the ability you got will only cause your death." Grey nodded.

"A power within that level is pretty good, but the effect is that you only live as a puppet, a human puppet that only follows the order because of the curse inside of you."

Haschwalth stands up and takes something from his pocket," A curse? Don't make me laugh, His Majesty is the God, even though he curses us we are still willing to follow."

One by one, shadows appear around them and pull them away from this place.

Look at Black, Grey and Red, he is confused why they look at them with a pity gaze, he doesn't know why but he feels something is not right.

"Are you not going to stop them?"

"No, my Master is about to wake up, we need to bring him back to Human World, for the meantime, you should go back and report what happens here."

"Tell Captain Commander that...… Quincy is back."

"..... Okay…"
