THE DIMENSION GUARD
cooperation

Inside the research laboratory of Elementor three university, the Dimension club.

The night is now getting late still makes one person awake, preoccupied by the objects of his own creation to complete the project as he wants.

Hands that did not stop to assemble each component, one after another attached, the rotating screwdriver locked the bolt and took the lock of another object.

There was no one else around, the other students had already left to return home or return to the dormitory. Only he himself pours out all the hard work for one purpose over self-interest.

But in a locked place, the sound of footsteps approached past the shadow from the dark side of the room. The figure with the skull mask shows itself.

Setsu realized and stopped turning the screwdriver which was still held tightly by the hand. Flipping the gaze to be directed backwards, looking at where the creature was standing.

"You're doing everything really well, Setsu, what is this saying is that, when humans have a purpose, they will do everything possible." The figure sounded familiar.

"You know Craneo, if I do it half-heartedly, my goal will never be achieved." Reply setsu.

"That's absolutely right."

"And you should realize, the one person who may be the biggest obstacle to my plan is not an indiscriminate being, he is an impossible opponent to defeat, a real monster of a human." Setsu clearly described how the figure of the Soldier.

The sound of an uncomfortable laughter being heard began to echo throughout the room, from the look of the eyes themselves showing a strong gaze full of hostility.

"Askar..." Said by him one name with a loud tone.

Smile Setsu and say...."He's the one, without careful preparation, I couldn't even touch his own body if I had to fight."

"I still vividly remember his power that was capable of destroying the predatory forces in my control."Angrily Craneo remembered Soldier.

"That's only 30% of his real power."

"I know, if it wasn't for his presence back then, the Mataram clan would have already vanished from this world."

"You're overconfident, Craneo, the Mataram clan survived for centuries, generations, carrying the name of the kingdom up until now, they won't just be wiped out." Setsu was clearly humbling the masked creature.

Craneo seemed to dislike Setsu's words, he walked over with a pitch-black aura like mist from above his head.

"Actually you're on whose side Setsu is on."

"I'm not on anyone's side, the two of us are just working together, you want to defeat the Soldiers and eliminate the Mataram clan, he said, whereas I want to open the Astral Dimension and bring back Zifa's soul to this world." Answer Setsu as you should.

Craneo's steps stopped after hearing Setsu's words, he then laughed to himself while unmasking the skull that covered the face.

"Yes I know, you're the one who's willing to sacrifice your own friends, you're just like us." Craneo laughed again.

"Don't equate me with you, I don't sacrifice my friends, I just give you help so you get a chance, while being able to or not, that's your business."

"Does that mean you're just playing me."

"Not really, because with the tools I'm working on this will make all beings lose their energy." Quite casually Setsu replied.

"What is the soldier ?."

"It should be so, since I've already tried with an Unknown level predator, they died out of energy in 10 minutes."

"Oh, you are indeed a genius Setsu."

"There's no need for you to praise me, I don't need to, as long as you help me create an opportunity while opening the astral dimensional gate, that's enough, then, let's forget about this cooperation." Setsu gave an addition firmly.

"I see, don't worry Setsu."

"Then you go, don't bother me, it'll be finished in two days, and our goal begins." Reply setsu who does not like the presence of Cronus.

"Then I'll go."

Cronus steps, turns to enter the shadow and disappears from the room.

*******

The soldier sat quietly on a park bench, in a daydream he thought of everything he had just known.

Soldiers have read two scrolls that became the archives of ancient royal history of the Mataram clan. Everything becomes clearer, where Setsu's goal with the Dimensional Cube is to reopen the three-dimensional connecting path.

This is definitely not a simple matter, because by connecting the three dimensions directly, it will repeat the great calamity like in the days of the kingdom.

"Surya is consumed by darkness.... Solar eclipse, when the third boundary of the dimension is very weak and clearly Setsu is eyeing time as in the archive." Murmured Soldier alone.

Notabenya, Surya or Sun is the greatest source of natural power that gives the world and the energy paradise system to remain stable.

But when that energy is blocked by the moon and an eclipse begins to form. The energy that was heading towards the world became weak and even disappeared, the dimensional border would be vulnerable to being destroyed.

As all the daydreams got further away, an astral creature summoning circle formed on its own, and a cat leapt out.

"Omen, why are you out...." Soldier Saying.

Omen was one of the great astral beings from the Astral Dimension who became his partner, with such great power, it was quite easy for Omen to open the door to exit without waiting to be summoned.

"Sir, I want to talk about Setsu." Omen.

"What is that..."

Everything the Soldiers saw and did, Omen knew, because their souls were connected, as well as in the course of his life during this time, along with Setsu or Zifa.

"I think Setsu's goal is to bring back the extraction of Zifa's soul from the Astral dimension." Said Omen speculating about Setsu.

"If it was Setsu doing, then the ruler of the astral dimension would be furious." The soldiers know the consequences of them.

"But I myself am quite familiar with Setsu, he doesn't care for any problems as long as Zifa can return." Omen who know them from the memory of the Soldiers, certainly not wrong.

"I know Omen."

"So what do we need to stop it."

"Somewhere, I feel like I want to destroy Setsu's life a second time, it's so hard." Soldier's reply grew increasingly limp.

Soldiers know about the extraction of souls by astral beings for the users of their powers. When the two beings share a body, their souls will also be divided.

And when that user is killed, half of the soul that has consciousness will vanish, and the rest of the soul that has been inherent in the astral being is brought back to the astral dimension.

Setsu wants to bring the rest of Zifa's soul and awaken her soul in a new body, she will go against the laws of fate, and make the lord of the astral dimension angry.

"Askar..... " A voice calls.

The soldier turned his head and saw Nura walking closer towards him...."What's the matter Miss Nura."

"No, I just want to talk to you." Reply Nura.

"What is miss."

"I thought you looked frustrated after reading the scroll, so I thought you needed a chat buddy." Answer with a smile.

"It's actually unnecessary, because I already have a talking partner." Soldier Reply.

"Nura was embarrassed for the Soldier's reply..."Who ?."

"He's..." Point Soldiers at the cat in front of him.

"Why is there a cat here, I don't remember having a pet here." Nura said confusedly.

And Omen answered.... "Miss, sorry but I'm not a pet."

Increasingly surprised Nura heard Omen's voice...."Soldier, since when is there a cat that can talk."

"He's not just any cat, he's an astral creature I'm in a relationship with." Answer Soldier.
