Chapter 5

Two days later.

Cold, just incredible cold in the middle of summer days. It was very strange. The water in the buckets froze, and dogs and other animals scattered, trying to find a warm shelter. Abnormal cold covered the whole city.

There were six silhouettes standing in front of the space gap. Among them were John Hope, Howard Frank and four other people: a girl dressed in a white shirt and wide trousers, over which boots were worn, a guy of about fourteen with a crazy face and red hair. And two more: a man with black hair, blue eyes and a cunning face, as well as a man with white hair and absolutely the same face, cunning and blue-eyed.

— What the fuck? - Jade looked up, there was a huge cut of arbitrary shape in the sky, - Damn ...

the man turned around and rushed to the mansion.

The door of the mansion was torn to shreds. Thomas woke up. In front of him stood a beautiful girl with light brown hair and red eyes, a strange smile sparkled on her face.

"So you're Puget's son. I think he values you very much. Come with me, boy.

The girl grabbed him by the shirt and tried to drag him along, but was immediately thrown back by a powerful slap in the face.

- what? - the girl raised her head and peered at the silhouette of Thomas.

— Stay away.

Behind the boy, a girl with snow-white skin and equally white hair hung in the air.

— Aurelia, - said the boy, - First.

There was a whistle, a howl and a whiff of wind. A snow-white wolf appeared out of the void, rushed at the girl, but was intercepted by the cursed spirit, which he immediately tore to shreds.

— Hmm, what an interesting spirit. He left no trace of this monster. Let's see what you're capable of.

Strange roots appeared from the ground, they swept all over the mansion. Several cursed spirits came out of their source.

— Fas.

The monsters rushed at Thomas. The boy was immediately lifted into the air by his own spirit.

—First," Aurelia said.

Now several wolves rushed at the monsters, who gnawed off their heads and tore up their peculiar bodies.

Thomas descended to the ground.

"You haven't even reached the first stage, but your spirit is talking. Who are you, boy?

— Your young boyfriend, an ugly bag of shit! - a familiar voice was heard from afar. A man with a pistol in one hand and a sword in the other flew out of the ceiling, he hit the floor and stood in a stance, putting the sword on his shoulder and pointing the gun at the girl - Get away from the boy.

— No way, I'm sorry. Your guns won't kill me. I don't need you.

- what?

— Goodbye, young man. It was nice to meet you.

The girl immediately disappeared, and Thomas disappeared with her, who did not even understand what had happened.

— What...

spirits still appeared from the roots, who did not even think to stop.

But they weren't the problem right now. A man with silver-gray hair was standing in the doorway.

— Hehe, hello! My name is Howard.

— Fuck you, it's not up to you right now.

Jade fired two shots, but they were immediately deflected by a whopper that was apparently a sword.

— Fool. You can't kill me with a firearm.

— Play, Foreplay.

— How impolite.

The sword Howard raised to strike was deflected by a blade that popped out of Jade's cane.

— First!

The blade shone with different colors, making strange sounds. Swinging, Jade made a blow, cutting Howard's sword in half.

— Damn it! You destroyed my weapon! That's bad luck. Oh, oh, oh...How am I going to fight now. Oh...I think I've lost.

Howard smiled.

— Why are you acting like...

— What?

— like you wanted to lose.

— No, I didn't want to lose at all. But there was a desire for you to cut my sword in half. What a great disappointment, ah...I've lost!

Suddenly, Jade felt a sharp pain in his ribs.

Puget's body was torn in two.

— Holy shit...

— Ha-ha-ha-ha...My name is Howard Frank Rymer Toril. And my spirit is a great disappointment.

— What happened? Why was I chopped up?!

— That's what I told you. Okay, goodbye. I've done my job and it's time for me to go.

— Stop!

The man immediately disappeared without listening to Jade.
