Vicky followed Lilith for a few distances and reached the empty room. The room has pleasant wallpapers and the carpet was laid out on the floor. Vicky was thinking about the room and its purpose, Lilith broke the silence and said,
"This is our meditation room, here we practice strengthening our inner elements,"
"Inner elements, what inner elements?" asked Vicky.
"As you know our body is made up of five elements namely earth, air, water, fire, and space," said Lilith.
"Ya right, so what," said Vicky.
"These five elements are the root of the whole universe, when you learn how to command them, these powers come in handy while dealing with the army of the devil," said Lilith.
"You mean those light arrows that you shot and killed that witch, that was your power from these elements," said Vicky.
"Exactly, the more you meditate, the more you gain control over it, and the more varieties you learn," said Lilith.
"What did you mean from variety?" asked Vicky
"I only know how to control fire energy, not the other elements, but when you master others as well, you can combine your powers to fight more effectively," said Lilith.
"But how you were able to shoot light arrows if you control fire element," asked Vicky.
"What happens when you light a lamp in a dark room?" Lilith asked Vicky.
"The room gets illuminated," Vicky answered.
"Right, that means light is the ultimate form of fire, it is the outcome of fire, hence when I control the fire element, I can produce those arrows as well," said Lilith.
Then Lilith moved forward toward another door in the room.
"Common, let's go to our inventory room," said Lilith.
Vicky followed her, they entered a room provided with numerous weapons, a variety of swords, bows and arrows, spears, etc. Vicky was looking at them very carefully.
"Here you can equip any weapon you want but you master only one," said Lilith.
Some weapons were kept on their shelves and some were hanging on walls. Vicky was trying to figure out which weapon would suit him the most, but nothing enticed him.
Then he saw an isolated crossbow packed on a glass shelf, it was black.
Vicky felt something inside him looking at the crossbow as if the weapon lured him towards itself.
Vicky moved toward the crossbow but Lilith stopped him in between.
"Don't even think of it, that crossbow cannot be mastered," said Lilith.
"But why, you only said I can try any weapon," said Vicky.
"Yes, any weapon but not that one, that weapon chooses his master on its own, no arrow in this realm would fit in that crossbow, only master shinzu knows about it, so you just stay away," said Lilith.
Lilith and Vicky continued with their conversation and here professor Oak and master Shinzu were having a conversation.
"So what is that for which you have to send Vicky away from here?" asked professor Oak.
"There are some realities for which Vicky is not prepared, when he told me about his ability to visit realm 0.5, I was shocked to hear it.
This is not normal, Vicky has some connection with San Briganza," said Shinzu.
"Exactly, that's why the spirit in that hospital guided us to meet you, they said you have the answer," said professor Oak.
"Sadly I don't know the complete truth about the town but what you know from realm 0.5, I know the same story, the only thing is that contract.
On that night the father cursed the town and restricted the spirits of those people who died on that day to the town only," said Shinzu.
"Hmm, right but what about that child, the contract vanished into him," said Oak
"Right, he is the only living being escaped from that town that night," said Shinzu.
"So this means the devil is after him because he holds the contract," said Oak.
" Yes, you got it right," said Shinzu.
"Wait a minute, do you think Vicky is the child?" asked Oak.
"I doubt so, his soul teleportation ability and shadow creature not able to touch him, all these things indicate that he is the one," Shinzo answered.
The conversation was going on and on of a sudden, a loud bang was heard. Earth started trembling and Shinzu, Oak, Lilith, and Vicky fell to the floor.
For a minute they remained on the floor just to absorb what has happened.
But soon Shinzu understood and reacted
"Grab your weapons, it's an ambush!"
There Lilith and Jorden quickly grabbed their bows and went out to defend the world.
"You stay inside professor and find Vicky, we will defend the house," said Shinzu.
Outside it was seen that the army of demons attacked. People were running here and there to take shelter.
Demons and witches were feeding on people.
Lilith and Jordan shot powerful and fierce arrows and turned demons and witches into ashes once they hit them.
"Jorden give me cover," said Lilith.
Lilith quickly leaped toward a child to save him from the witch and Jorden turned her into the ashes with his arrows.
Here master Shinzu took the sword in his hand and his eyes turned into fire. The sword changed its color to shining orange. Within the blink of an eye he slashed group of witches into ashes.
The attach was so impactful that the demons and witches got scared of him, they started running away from him.
Shinzu got furious and he hunted the army like an hungry wolf.
Vicky was watching all the scenarios inside the house. He felt so helpless, although he wanted to help but he was zero fighting skills.
The students and master Shinzu were on the verge of winning the battle until black heart entered the scene.
According to the ancient scriptures, the black heart is known as the son of the devil. He does not have any heart or soul, he is the evil entity created by the devil.
He was floating in air and he moved toward master Shinzu, as he caught his attention.
Shinzu's students shot arrows toward him but nothing helped. He deflected arrows with a snap of his fingers.
Somehow Jorden's arrow managed to hit black heart over his face. Blackheart moved toward Jorden.
Jorden kept on shooting arrows and Blackheart reached Jorden, he threw away his bow, grabbed Jorden from his head, lifted him in the air, and crushed his skull with his hands as if the person crushes as orange.
The flesh and blood came out and the scene was very disheartening for Jorden's team members.
Lilith stood still with a little drop of tears, in her eyes.
She knew one day all of us have to die but she didn't expect death like Jordan had right now.
Blackheart moved towards Shinzu,
Shinzu tried to activate the shield but Blackheart's aura was so powerful that it didn't allow the master to focus. Blackheart grabbed him from the throat and lifted him in the air,
"Where is the contract?" asked Blackheart in a deep and fearful tone.
Vicky looking at all this felt the anger and zeal to kill Blackheart. He looked around and again he looked towards the crossbow.
This time the crossbows was shaking and dark was coming out of it. The crossbow itself broke the glass shelf and floated in the air towards Vicky.
The crossbow was floating in the air near Vicky and Vicky grabbed his hands. As soon as Vicky grabbed the crossbow, some sort of energy ran through him and he looked much stronger than he was.
Vicky aimed the crossbow towards Blackheart.
The crossbow didn't had arrow in it but as soon as he aimed, automatically a dark arrow appeared on crossbow.
Lilith was watching all this, she was stunned to her toes, she only said to Vicky that crossbow chooses his own master.
Vicky released the arrow, and the arrow hit Blackheart right in his shoulders. To everybody's surprise the damage was enough to loosen the grip of Blackheart on master Shinzu's throat.
Master quickly escaped and Blackheart smiled as
he now knew that the Vicky is the concerned man to be dealt with.
He pulled out the arrow from his shoulders and moved swiftly towards Vicky.
Vicky was not at all looking scared of him.
Blackheart grabbed Vicky's throat, but soon after few seconds, he felt the heat which became slowly unbearable and in the meantime, Vicky also grabbed Blackheart's arm and ridded himself from his grip.
Blackheart's arm started burning and he quickly moved away from Vicky shouting in pain.
Blackheart was confused, he went through such an opponent whom he can't touch.
Vicky dashed toward Blackheart and punched him so hard that Blackheart's body got lifted in the air and fell a distance apart.
Blackheart was shocked, how come a normal guy can be so much powerful?
Vicky again aimed crossbow toward Blackheart and asked
"Where is shadow creature, handover him to me, else you will die,"
Blackheart laughed and said
"I don't have body neither a soul, I can't die,"
"But you can be punished till eternity, that I will do then," said Vicky.
As soon as Vicky was about to release the arrow, Blackheart disappeared from there into a portal that opened quickly for him.
Looking at this avatar of Vicky everybody stood stunned.
