CODE: Last Knight

5601

“Xarkes!.. You had lost this battle.” The tip of my sword was nearing Xarkes neck but I soon stopped as Xarkes had offered me something that I couldn’t possibly reject. 

It was the promise of getting my brother to live once again. I couldn’t pass up that offer as I really one to see my brother stand in front of me again as we both use too. But there’s one catch if I was to agree with this, that was to let Xarkes go unharmed. 

“I’m listening but if you tried to trick me, I swear that this would be your end, Xarkes!” I said that as I unsheathe my sword to listen to what the Demon God of Time will tell. 

“Thank you, I’m sure to bring back your dead brother,” Xarkes says with a grin on his face right now. 

The moment that I saw the grin on Xarkes face, I knew that I had been tricked by the Demon God Of Time. I quickly drew my sword back and was about to chop Xarkes head off. 

But the God Of Time beat me. Xarkes had already cast its magic which blasted me unconscious. I didn’t know what happened next as it was all pitch black. 

I don’t know how long I have been lying on the ground as when I was awake. I notice that there’s a lot of noise around me. I stand up from the ground as I still feel very dizzy right now. 

"uH! My head... Damn Xarkes, I should kill him that moment."

I then reopened my eyes as I realised something, I was not in Xarkes castle anymore. What was weird was that I saw a metal object flying around, strange tall buildings everywhere and what worse, there was a demon here. 

I quickly pulled out my sword in the sheath and started attacking the demon that I saw in front of me, but when I was about to deliver the blow onto the demon. I immediately halted my attack as a human stepped in and protected the demon. 

I was confused about why humans protect the demon. I angrily shouted at the woman. "Please move away! That demon is dangerous and I need to kill it..."

The woman shouted back as she was angry as well, "Are you doing a prank, boy! Or are you crazy... this demon isn’t dangerous!"

"I see that their spell has brainwashed you... No worries that I will save you from it as I was the Knight....." Before I could finish the speech the woman slapped me in the face. 

"This demon you just about to attack was my husband! Brainwashed? Human and Demons coexist two thousand years ago..."

Hearing that, I could not believe it as the woman says two thousand years. I quickly asked the woman what years right now and the lady said 5601. It was shocking news to me as when I remember the year in which I fought Xarkes and it was in the year 1011.

What more unbelievable was the human and demons coexist right now. I always thought that the demons plan to conquer the world and e*****e humanity. I unsheath my sword and apologised to the woman. 

Still, part of me doesn’t believe that this whole thing was a real deal. It might be an illusion that Xarkes has cast on me. I was just about to pinch myself to see whether it would hurt or not but something approached me. 

I was just about to walk away from there but two people came out from the flying metal object and told me to stop as they said that I was under arrest for the attempted assault. 

I was taken away by those two guys and made me enter the flying metal object. I do not want to enter but one of the guys forced him by pushing me in. I don’t know what they’re going to do with me as I tried to explain myself to both of them. 

I was then seated as I saw one of them was controlling this flying metal object. I had never seen this before and was this all an illusion? I began to ask myself that question as this all just seems way too real right now. 

“Where am I going?... If this is early, I’m sorry, but I really don’t know about that. Shouldn’t demons be dangerous and why are we friends with them…” I said that. 

“Oho! It looks like we got ourselves the anti-demon supporters here… the chief would like this and I bet the chief will interrogate him.” 

The other man beside him laughed when he heard that, “It will happen for sure, just look at this guy wearing right now… I bet he was one of the top people in the anti-demon faction.” 

“So, do you already cast your spell onto that guy? He might escape if we do not keep an eye on him.” 

“No need to worry and there’s no need for that. It was a futile effort to do that…”

“Ah yes, the locking spell that had been cast on this flying car. I just forget that cause you know how rarely do we ever bring someone guilty here.” 

Hearing their conversation, I realise that they had made a mistake as I’m not from the anti-demon faction at all. I didn’t even know what it was, but by its name, I’m sure that it was a group of people who hated the demons. 

I know the fact that I myself hate the demon but I’m not from the faction. I really don’t have any idea what has been going on here. I then tried to reason with them for letting me go from this metal object. 

Because I know about the locking spell and it would be impossible for someone to break it unless they know the correct way to undone the spell. I certainly don’t have any idea how to do that at all.
