Chapter 67 - Watching the Universe Carefully (Space Photography)

Time, a celestial river, has swept me through Graaswell City's vibrant streets. Days are woven with vigilance, awash in the awe-inspiring touch of cosmic magic. Though memories lurk like half-forgotten melodies, my dedication to this city burns bright.

Graaswell, a metropolis humming with otherworldly power, pulsates with the lifeblood of a dimension-crossed treasure. Its very essence reminds me of the extraordinary reality I navigate.

Here, I stalk the streets – a silent guardian cloaked in shadows. My senses, finely tuned to the universe's tremors, scan for danger, for ripples in reality that may herald threats. My past remains a puzzle, fragments and fleeting glimpses, but honed intuition, forged in countless battles against darkness, serves as my compass. It guides me towards potential threats before they fully manifest, shielding the city's innocence from lurking shadows.

As I patrol neon-drenched streets, a faint tremor brushes my senses. Subtle, like a distant storm's whisper, it sends a jolt through me. My eyes, enhanced by cosmic magic, scan the cityscape, searching for the source.

"There," I mutter, spotting a flicker of dark energy in a back alley. Shadows shift and writhe, hinting at malevolent forces gathering.

Without hesitation, I surge forward, feet barely touching the ground as I propel myself towards the anomaly. My mind races, formulating strategies, predicting my unseen adversaries' movements.

The alleyway swallows me in darkness. Shadows coalesce, forming grotesque figures with eyes glowing with malicious intent. Their laughter echoes, a chilling soundtrack to the impending clash.

"Foolish mortal," one snarls, his voice a rasping whisper. "You dare challenge the shadows?"

I stand tall, my gaze unwavering. "This city is under my protection," I declare, my voice resonating with power. "You will not harm these people."

With a surge of celestial energy, I launch into action. My movements become a blur, a whirlwind of light and defiance against the encroaching darkness. Each blow unleashes the cosmos' power, disintegrating shadows with flashes of celestial light.

The alleyway becomes a battleground, a dance of defiance against cosmic strife. My every move is a testament to unwavering courage and resilience.

As the last shadow dissipates, leaving only silence, I stand bathed in my own power's glow. Echoes of victory reverberate through the alley, a chilling reminder to any who dare threaten Graaswell City's peace.

But my vigilance never wavers. As the moon rises, casting silver light upon the bustling streets, I know the shadows will return. And I will be ready.

For I am Jikirukuto, Graaswell City's guardian, and my watch on the cosmos will never end.
