Maximo looked at his back, looking at the shadow that was following him.
" Who are you! Why are you chasing me! " Maximo shouted to the shadow.
" Ki ki ki! "
Maximo heard. He knew to himself that the shadow is a Devil according to the sound that it was producing.
" Stop following me! " he yelled while running to escape to his pursuer.
Earlier, Maximo was running in the dark place where he was.
He is tired because he has not stopped walking and running.
Maximo no longer knew how long he had been traveling in this dark place. He could see nothing except darkness.
Because Maximo felt tired, his body gave up, and he fell.
He slowly turned his back because Maximo knew the shadow was following him
Moments later, Maximo saw the shadow forming a body. It doesn't have a face, but he can see your face.
Maximo is right. Following him is a Devil, but it is different from the first time he encounters this place.
" What do you need? Who are you? " Maximo asked the Devil in front of him.
" I need that body! " Devil's voice was profound when he answered Maximo.
Maximo's eyes widened.
Maximo knew that this body was not his, but a Devil could not get it.
Surprisingly, why does the Devil need Maximo's body?
What does the Devil need in this body?
" I can't give you this body! " Maximo told him.
" It's not your body! Get out of that body so I can get that forever! " Said the Devil, his voice deep which was the reason why Maximo felt scared.
" Get it? Does that mean you don't have this body either? " Maximo asked the Devil.
" I don't have to explain to you! I was the first to see this body, so I have more right to control this body! " The Devil replied to Maximo.
" If you don't body this body, I won't let you just get a Devil! " Maximo said boldly.
" If that's what you want to happen, I can do nothing but kill you right here! "
The shadow quickly attacked his position after he said to Maximo.
Maximo's eyes widened because of the shadow's sudden attack on him.
Maximo ran fast. He knows he has nothing against shadow especially, and he sees it emit red Magic.
" You're done! " Shadow shouted at Maximo.
Maximo did not stop running. Moments later, he felt a loud explosion.
Maximo looked at the area of the explosion, and he saw the damage shadow's attack had done to him.
" You can't escape me! " The shadow yelled at Maximo.
" Stay away from me! " Maximo shouted in answer to the shadow.
Shadow attacks Maximo one after another. Maximo just stopped running when he fell.
" You have nothing to lose, Human! " Shadow said to Maximo.
Shadow accumulated red Magic. Maximo could see this clearly.
'Is this the end of me? Maximo asked himself.
Moments later, Maximo felt the heat of his body. His eyes blinded him, and there he saw that red Magic from the shadow was surrounding him.
Maximo felt his body rise, and there he felt severe pain.
"Ahh!"
Maximo cried out because of the pain he was feeling.
He no longer knew what he would do to alleviate the pain he felt because of what shadow was doing to him.
" If you had just given up that body, you wouldn't have felt such pain! " Shadow told her.
Maximo couldn't answer what the shadow told him. She was screaming loudly, her whole body was writhing in pain, and it was as if something was separating from her body.
Shadow laughed out loud. Maximo didn't understand you because only the pain of what shadow was doing was overwhelming him now.
Moments later, shadow stopped laughing. He saw that there was white Magic mixing with his red Magic.
" What's going on? " Shadow asked in astonishment.
Maximo felt relieved of the pain he was feeling. He doesn't know what's going on, but he wishes that the pain he was feeling would go away forever.
Nara Palace, Kingdom Nara
"Concentrate your magic on Maximo!" Remus yelled at his companions.
There were six Healers now standing around Maximo's bed.
Their Armas was exposed, and it was aimed at Maximo. Their Armas release outing magic for Maximo.
" Don't stop until Max calms down! " He added.
They try to calm Maximo down because of what is happening to him.
There is a red color surrounding Maximo's body that they don't know how happened to him.
While the Healers and Maximo were in that position, suddenly a man, Alexander, entered the room.
Alexander's eyes widened when he saw Maximo lifted, and there was red Magic surrounding him.
He quickly approached Remus and asked what was going on.
" What's going on, Remus? " Alexander asked him.
" We don't know, Alexander, but we're doing what we can for Maximo, " Remus replied to Alexander.
Alexander just stared at Maximo. He knew something strange was happening to Maximo right now.
Ever since Maximo defeated Amanda, the high-level Devil they fought, Alexander knew Maximo was hiding something from them. What that is, Alexander needs to know!
" Ahh !! " the Healers and Alexander heard Maximo's very loud cry.
Healers are concerned but should not lose concentration on what they are doing.
" Don't stop! " Remus shouted at them.
They did not stop. They further strengthened their white Magic for Maximo.
When Maximo's loud shout ended, the red Magic surrounding Maximo gradually disappeared.
It is replaced by white Magic coming from the Healers of the Nara Kingdom.
Soon, the red Magic completely disappeared from Maximo's body.
Maximo's body collapsed on the bed.
The Healers felt relieved because of what happened, and they were able to calm down whatever was happening to Maximo.
Alexander approached Maximo's body lying on the bed. He looked at it, and he could see as if nothing had happened.
Alexander still wonders who Maximo really is.
"What's the news with Maximo, Remus?" Alexander asked Remus.
"Nothing yet, Alexander. There is no change in his body because Maximo didn't have a problem at first. It's just a puzzle why he doesn't wake up and what happened earlier," Remus replied to Alexander.
" Keep a close eye on him, Remus. Tell me as soon as he wakes up, " Alexander ordered him.
"I'll do what you said, Alexander," Remus replied to him.
Alexander came out of the room where Maximo was.
They had just arrived from the Kings meeting, and now he was straight to his office to do his job.
The Majars are still in full swing of their rehearsals, with some building the border of the Nara Kingdom to replace what was damaged during the Devils' attack.
Members of the Defense Unit of Kingdom Nara, on the other hand, are busy making bullets of guns and cannons. They also have set traps around the Nara Kingdom so that when the Devils attack, they will know immediately.
Alexander was about to leave the office when suddenly a man entered.
" Maximo has woken up, Alexander! " He brought news to Alexander.
Alexander hurried to Maximo's room.
When he entered, he saw Maximo sitting on the bed.
Maximo looked at Alexander. He immediately approached her and asked how she was.
" I'm fine, Alexander, " Maximo replied to Alexander.
" Don't you feel weird? Nothing hurts you? " Alexander asked her.
Maximo shook his head, " I don't feel weird, Alexander. I'm fine, so I wonder why I'm here, " Maximo replied to him.
Alexander's feeling calmed down, "It's okay then, Max," Alexander said, "Alexander said to him.
" Why? What happened in the battle, Alexander? " Maximo asked, confused about what had happened in the battle.
" You don't remember anything, Max? " Alexander asked in astonishment.
" No, Alexander, I don't remember, " Maximo replied.
" Don't you remember you defeated the high-level devil, Max? " Alexander asked.
Maximo's eyes widened because of what Alexander had said.
" I lost? How did that happen? " Maximo asked him in surprise.
" We don't wine what you did, Max, but you have a rusty sword that defeats the High-level devil, " Alexander replied.
" And my suspicion is, your rusty sword is your Weapon, Max, " Alexander added.
" I have an Armas? How did that happen? " Maximo inevitably wondered because he knew in himself that he had no Magic
" Yes, Max. So when your condition is good, you need to train your Armas; what is the ability of your Armas, " he told me.
" But I don't know how to release the Weapon you say, Alexander, " Maximo told him.
" You just need to release your Mana so you can release your Weapon, " Alexander said.
" But I don't have Magic or Mana! How can I be released if I really have a Weapon? " Maximo asked.
Alexander fell silent. He's right. He doesn't have the ability to release Magic, so how can he release his Armas?
"But when you fought, there was red magic in your body, Max, " Alexander said.
" Maybe you have Magic, but you just don't know, " Maximo added.
" Anyway, how can I unleash the magic I have? " Maximo asked.
Alexander thought about Maximo's question.
If they train Maximo to cast Magic, the process will take a long time, especially and he knows Maximo is from another world.
" When you're good, we're going somewhere so you can unleash your Magic, Max! " Alexander told him.
