Chapter 26 - Strange Dream.

Unwavering darkness surrounded the surrounding. No matter where I look, I couldn't find anyone or anything. It was like when the blackness of night covers the earth. With my vision obstructed I couldn't help but feel uneasy however as though the darkness could feel my uneasiness light began to glitter the surrounding becomes clear, the shouts and cries of people gradually became louder. The scenery before me showed a battlefield that was deprived of any vegetation or plantations.

It was a large dried up open field with the scenery of a cloudless night sky a large moon illuminated the ground, the scenery was rather pleasant however there was also a tense atmosphere surrounding the battlefield as there was a large number of people carrying swords shields and spears. The knights were all armed they were all equipped with swords and shields while on the other side an army of people with dark shaded skinned and red eyes carried long sword and spear.

"Don't give them a single chance to rest! Make sure you all stay in formations; mages take the rear and fire advance level magic!"

The commander shouted to his subordinates and the mages behind him before rushing into battle.

"You hear the captain don't let a single one of them enter the Kingdom!"

Another man carrying sword and shield said while keeping his guard against the demons coming his way. The Knights and soldier all charged toward the demons holding their respective weapons, clash of metal resounded the battlefield as more and more corpses began to fill the battlefield, a soldier holding a sword 2 meters tall swung at the demon sending his head flying, a large amount of blood flood out of his headless body, the soldier then turn his eyes to his next target however before he could attack.

"Agraah!"

The knight cried loudly as a sharp claw pierced the center of his forehead a large amount of blood tickled down his face before his eyes lost their shine. the scent of blood covered the battlefield.

"Mother of fire blast my target flare ball!"

The mages all chanted their spells simultaneously A magic formation was formed as a ball of fire was then fired the spells of the mages illuminated the battlefield each of the fire balls went towards the demons slowly approaching.

"Augrhh."

The demons raised a loud groan as their bodies was hit by the flames. A soldier holding a spear immediately threw it with great speed towards a demon who was running at a high speed towards him, the spear then struck his head killing him instantly. The demons then attack the knights using their claws however the knights used their shields to block the upcoming attack.

"No matter what don't let a single one of them pass through the gate!! Graaah."

The knight shouted before he was pierced by the demons' swords.

"Fufufu…. you humans are weak."

The demon said with a sinister grin on his face. The two weapons clashes with a clang. The commander swung his sword horizontally however the demon swung his sword and parried his swing. The commander puts strength into his sword and tried to push back the demon however the one that was push back was the commander, the physical strength between their two races were clear. The commander lost his balance and stumbled backwards causing a fatal opening the demon took that opening and brought his sword downward to deliver the final blow, however.

Slash~

The sound of a sword could be heard cutting through the air as the head of the demon was sent flying into the air spraying a trail of fresh blood on the ground. The commander turned his half-opened eyes towards the boy standing before him, the boy with slightly long black colored hair that reaches his brow wearing a long black coat that reaches his knees with red line streaks going a cross.

The streaks on the side gave a faint glow as the boy stands while holding a long, beautiful silver thin sword with green gemstone implanted within the hilt. The silver blade also glimmers a faint light, The boy had a handsome face he seems to be in his early twenties, however there was not even a single bit of emotion could be seen on his face. He narrowed his eyes while glaring at the demons approaching him.

"It looks like you saved me again lord Sato."

The commander said with a wry smile. Though there was a look of relief present on his face which was drenched with sweat, of course he could have been killed moments ago. Even while this war was happening many of the men didn't want to die it was obvious many of them were scared. The word 'Death' didn't give favors to anyone. On a battlefield death was present everywhere. Guessing the mental state of the commander the boy Made a frown before pondering for a while.

"Get everyone to group up, I'll go eliminate the enemy's commander."

He said while gazing into the distance, he then held his sword tightly into his hands and made a sprint towards the commander who was giving out orders. Many of the demons tried attacking him on the way however he easily exterminated them using either high level magic or simply beheading them with swift movements.

The black-haired boy was now standing before the enemy's commander, with piles of dead headless corpse laying behind him, his coat fluttered gently behind him by the wind pressure showing a sense of elegance, he then stared at the demon's commander he had a muscular built and seems to be about 7cm tall. To the black-haired boy, he was like a giant however his composed expression didn't change.

"Who are you, and who gives you the right to stand before me?"

He said narrowing his red eyes towards the boy. Hearing such questions the boy simply made a stance with his silver sword ready in his hand. The sword then shined with a brilliant light as though it was rivaling the light of the sun.

"I'm Haruto Sato, the one who will put an end to this useless war."

The boy declared simply. Darkness began to cover the world once more the scenery became blurry.

"Maafg… is it morning already, it felt like I just went to sleep."

I muttered while still being half asleep. I quickly check my surrounding and saw the familiar room I've been in since coming here. Seeing that I let out a sigh.

(Did I forget something, I'm sure I had a dream just now but for some reason I can't remember.)

I thought feeling troubled. I'm not sure if it's important but I have a feeling it wasn't a dream I should have forgot. I tried remembering the dream but no matter how much I tried I wasn't able to remember anything. I then move my hands towards my bed covers when-

"Haaah."

I heard a coquettish voice from underneath the covers. There was also the sound of someone's soft breathing audible to my ears. My hands were on something really soft and squishy.

(Don't tell me.)

I thought while slowly removing the bed sheets. Then a beautiful girl with long wavy green hair appeared from beneath the sheets her glossy green hair was slightly disheveled by her sleeping posture. Her legs were slightly exposed showing her snow-white thigh. On her cheek there was a tinge of pink present there.

"Hey, Alya, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you to return to your spirit form once I'm asleep."

I said with an exasperated voice. Hearing my loud voice she slowly opened her eyes and yawn cutely.

"Haruto is it time to wake up already?"

She said rubbing her teary eyes with her right hands.

"Didn't I tell you; you can't sleep with me."

"It was Haruto who decided to hug me while you sleep you know, even though all I wanted was to go, you decided to use my chest as a pillow don't you remember?"

She said with a playful grin.

"Hey, taking advantage of me when I'm a sleep is rude you know!"

I shouted pointing my index finger at her with a blush cheek.

"Keep it down a bit, you're going to draw attention from the other rooms."

She said putting her finger on her lips.

"Is there something wrong? You look slightly destress."

She said squinting her neatly refined eyes at me. I guess it's impossible to hide things from a contracted spirit. I sighed quietly.

"I had a strange dream, but I can't remember it properly."

I said somewhat conflicted. Towards such an answer Alya tilted her head.

"A strange dream, you say."

"Yeah… but I forgot it doesn't matter anymore."

I said shrugging my shoulders with a tired look. Alya face became serious for a moment. She then made a contemplative look before speaking.

"Can you try and tell me one thing that happened in your dream anything you can remember."

She said while staring at me.

"Hmm… anything huh… well I remember seeing a battlefield with soldiers of a certain kingdom and another group of people I don't know."

I said folding both my arms with a serious face. Alya eyes gave a slight glint.

"Maybe you were thinking about going to a battlefield before you fall asleep."

She said giving a small wink. You know I had a little expectation when her face became serious, but I guess it's my fault for believing in her. I sighed quietly while thinking that.

"I don't know what that dream was, but it doesn't matter right now it's time to get ready."

I muttered while slowly getting off the bed.
