chapter 36: The man named Baal

The council meeting lasted for only a few more minutes, talking about the details they had been able to gather from the people, which was the reason for this meeting through the giants.

A council member, a frogman, was explaining the report written by the captain they sent to the city of the Sun.

According to what we could gather from those people, it was that the man was called Yuujiro without a surname, he was a strong man. According to what the giants had said, the main weapon he uses are katanas, two to be exact, and apparently he is an expert using them performing very advanced techniques with them that can even cut mountains with a simple swing.

They also told us that the man performed strange techniques that barely used magical power and that it was another type of unknown power. The most problematic power they talked about was a power that could cause earthquakes and internal damage to their opponent, and as they could see in the images that man seems to be dangerous and we do not know if his eyes hide some kind of power since he did not show it, and as we know there are people and magicians who are very rare who use it or who have very rare ocular powers.

The woman next to him seems to treat him with a lot of respect and is very loyal to the man according to the behavior the witnesses could see. Her name is Kushinada Mikumo, her powers are a mystery since she only fights a battle against a giant woman winning in a single movement.

And according to what we could re ....

Tadakatsu: "That doesn't interest me, so I'm going to look for it, since I have to get my katana back and that man has it, so if you'll excuse me, I'm already retiring."

The samurai said getting up from where he was sitting and ready to go out the door. But an angry voice that spoke to him made him stop.

But how dare you talk like that with the Tadakatsu council!

An angry council member spoke and raised his voice at the Samurai's attitude toward them.

Baal: "Hamu, samurai-dono, I think you better calm down and listen to what they have to say until the end, or else I ...

Tadakatsu: "Or else, what are you going to do?" Said the samurai appeared behind Baal moving at an incredible speed with his katana drawn and with the blade on his neck.

But Baal did not even move from his place and did not flinch at the demonstration of how easy it could be for Tadakatsu to kill him. He just kept smiling very quietly. When suddenly the samurái spits blood from his mouth, staining the entire floor in front of him and moves away as far as possible from Baal, keeping his eyes on top of him and with his guard upright staring at him. He didn't know how he had suffered damage, since he clearly only saw the strong man sitting without making any kind of movement, he was sitting with his hands still together.

Tadakatsu: [But what happened, what made me, clearly made no move and I don't think he saw me at the speed I settled in behind him. Tadakatsu thought and now he was looking for the answers in his head.

Then he looked at his chest where he felt a very strong pain, and saw that he had a mark of a sunken fist on his clothes just where the heart was.

The other magicians present were sitting watching everything that was happening with great interest, since the samurai had suddenly positioned himself behind Baal at a speed that they could not follow with his eyes, but then the samurai spat blood from his mouth and did not. They saw how they had attacked him, but then they saw how the samurai had a fist mark near the área of ​​his heart.

Swear: [¡fast! I didn't even see when the samurai-dono left his place to appear behind the strong man, but the most surprising thing was when he hit him in a way he couldn't see with his eyes.]

Makarov: [Oh, but what strange techniques those two use, the samurai attacked him from his blind spot, but that man did not even flinch and instead also attacked while sitting, just as people describe him, a mysterious character that nobody knows where such a strong person came from and who won the position of holy magician defeating the previous one.]

That man named Baal was still a mysterious character to the other magicians, since he had only recently joined the Ten Holy Wizards when he defeated the former who held his post. The former magician who was in tenth place was an evil person who extorted from the villages and killed people as if they were simply garbage that was on his way, but one day he had the bad luck of having met his executioner who was going to put an end to the evils he committed daily.

Everything happened when Baal passed through a town and saw the evils that he was committing and he tried to convince him to speak with words to stop committing acts of evil towards innocent people and to repent of what he had done, since his soul was rotten in evil and that he was willing to help him and show him the right way.

But as that man was one of the ten holy magicians and was an arrogant bastard who believed himself invincible and untouchable and could do what he wanted since he was one of the magicians chosen by the council to take that important role, and also that he liked power very much.

But when he saw the man who tried to stop him from committing the evils he was doing and to repent by surrendering to justice, he became angry at the man who, in a burst of rage, attacked him with the intention of killing him by piercing his heart with the spear he had and was the one he used to fight. And the people who were watching as all that happened described it with the following words to the soldiers of the council that arrived some time later.

Pov villagers

We all saw as a magician recognized by all as one of the

Fiore's strongest magicians attacked the poor monk who was with their hands together smiling at them even when the magician attacked him with all his power, but then they realized that the monk was reciting some words that they could not understand. And then they saw when the magician struck him with his spear, but before the spear touched the body of the man began to disintegrate as he approached, it was as if an invisible energy field was around his body and was protecting.

The magician, as he was an expert, and seeing how his spear disintegrated when he approached the most, he decided to release it and then distance himself from it.

The wizard took distance from that man and pulled some knives from his clothes and when he was going to make a move to attack him he suddenly stopped halfway and backed up a few steps back when marks of fists and hands appeared on his body, and the clothes on his back exploded and broke leaving his back in sight where the blows he had received had pierced his body.

He was spitting blood and got down on his knees on the floor. After breathing and calming down a bit, he slowly raised his head to look at the man in front of him who was still with his hands clasped and smiling at him.

"M-damn, what did you do to me, what happens to my body, because I felt right now fist bumps on my body when I saw you clearly that you had your hands together and never separated them."

The holy magician asked him in a tired but audible voice since he had trouble breathing and was sweating heavily. You could see in his face that he was in great pain.

Baal: "Hamu, I didn't do anything to you, I only prayed to the heavens for nothing bad to happen to me and to protect my body from any evil that wants to harm me, and the gods sent their divine fists to protect me from the power of evil, since they clearly saw that they wanted to hurt me. "

"You know one thing, they are protecting me since I have a duty to guide the poor souls who are going down the path of evil and make them come to their senses, but you know another thing that I have not told you yet, is that I can save to the souls that are going down the path of evil. But it is a pity that I cannot do anything with souls that are already rotten, and I can see that your soul is already rotten and that it no longer has salvation, you have done a lot of harm to innocent people and that you enjoy doing it."

And that is why the fists they sent you were special for people like you who have a rotten soul, and now that you received the divine fists, only one destiny awaits you.

"Damn, stop saying nonsense ...

The wizard could not keep talking, because suddenly he felt something strange was happening with his body when his hands began to swell, then it was his head that grew twice his size, then his arms, legs, body, and his head continued to grow as if it were a balloon when it was filled with air and grew more and more, until he could no longer hold on and his body exploded in a shower of blood throughout the area around him.

The people who were present and saw what had happened, some could not take it anymore and threw up everything they had eaten in the morning, then when one person started, another followed and then another to have a vomiting party that filled soil. After he had stopped vomiting, they saw the place where the magician had exploded and saw that something was floating in that place.

A bright sphere was floating where the remains of the dead magician were. That sphere was the size of a fist and shone brightly. The monk standing near there made a gesture opening his mouth, when the bright sphere went straight to him and entered in the man's open mouth and swallowed it.

Baal: "Hamu, a more purified soul, I hope you rot in the deepest of hell, ah, but neglect that you are not going to go to the same place where I managed to escape, you are going to go to a section for criminals with minor crimes that haven't killed more than 100 people. That's what we call heaven, hahahaha. "

After the man murmured those words, he looked at us and gave us a smile and spoke to us saying.

Baal: "They don't have to worry now, since I've taken care of evil by purifying their soul, so they don't have anything to fear anymore and they can live peacefully from now on."

When the man said that, he kept walking towards the distance until he lost sight of everyone and disappeared leaving a huge pool of blood on the ground and all the petrified villagers, since even after that man left, none of him made some movement until a few minutes later.
