Titan's Throne

Chapter 36- Treatment!

Chapter 36

Treatment!

...

Shit! The creatures are here!

Indeed. The dreadful ghost like creatures had returned for another round of their attacks on the white haired boy. Except this time, the white haired boy was not alone, Bastian was with him.

Bastian had been thinking about quite a few things while practicing with his Soul Force. For example, would he be able to fend off the creatures? Would they even attack him? Would they show up if the barrier was brought down?

At this point, Bastian was a few meters away from the white haired boy and he chose to remain there. The intimidating appearance of the creatures was a bit too stimulating for the scholar.

OK. This is scary.

Looking from the barrier, had given Bastian a sense of security. So even though he was intimidated by the creatures, he was still able to stand being close to them. But at that moment, the barrier had disappeared.

Bastian tried to soothe himself using logic.

I destroyed the barrier, and the creatures couldn't pass the barrier. So logically speaking they can't harm me...right?

All of Bastian's efforts to calm himself down were fruitless. Despite his somewhat strong mental fortitude, both Sebastian Tirius and Bastian Smith had one thing in common. Fear of ghosts.

The translucent appearance these creatures gave one, the impression that they were spirits. Their eerie red eyes had a penetrating effect, making one feel as if he could not hide anything.

Nope I can't do this. No way!

Bastian immediately started to run away the moment he lost his cool. At this instant, the white haired boy had woken up as well. He saw the creatures and started running like the madman he was. Unfortunately for Bastian, the white haired boy was headed straight for him.

Bastian tried to twist and turn but the white haired boy would only follow, and the swarm of creatures would follow suite as well.

The creatures were able to fly, so they were much faster than the duo, and were able to easily catch up. One of the creatures caught up with the white haired boy and entered him, causing the boy to scream in agony and trip.

Bastian looked back in pity, but he was far too afraid to do anything about it. At that point, Bastian noticed something. The creatures only attacked the white haired boy. They never went for him.

It's almost as if they can't see me, or maybe they can't?

Bastian moved closer and closer to the screaming boy, each step heavier and more unsteady than the last. And yet, with each step nothing changed. The creatures did not notice him and kept on charging straight into the white haired boy.

After some internal debating, Bastian gritted his teeth and shouted, running straight toward the white haired boy. He changed the shape of his Soul Force into that of a large sword, and chopped at the swarm of creatures.

To his pleasant surprise, any creature that was touched by the sword was disintegrated into nothing.

I can kill them! I can kill them! Haha excellent!

It is said that in battle, fear can motivate one to fight at their best just as well as courage could, and in this particular case, such was the occasion.

Bastian yelled like a madman, in a way not so different from his white haired companion. He charged straight into the swarm and started waving the giant sword about.
