THE DIMENSION GUARD
Astral dimension

Setsu sees one opportunity after the Soldiers fall, including the presence of predators that begin to descend from the barrier between the three dimensions.

Jumping high and lifting the compass of nirvana he held, the glowing purple light opened a dimensional circle and connected to another destination.

Soldiers can only see when Setsu breaks through the dimensional gate, where he is currently unable to move after getting a hard hit from a predatory figure that came out.

It was not just any, it was very rare for the Soldier to get one powerful attack to injure his body, the Recovery ability began to heal the Soldier, but quite a number of predators gathered and approached.

And among all the predators that came, there was one presence of creatures with unusual powers, even if it had to be compared to the Unknown level predators, the strength of the creature reached a hundredfold.

"Three thousand years I look forward to today, the world that deserves to be where we live." The thundering sound of one of the strongest predatory creatures made anyone feel fear.

Soldiers could feel the sensation of an unusual aura pressure appearing and enveloping the sky in gray, one footstep shaking the entire Merapi mountain.

But the sight of the huge creature's eyes led to the Soldier, he could also feel the sensation of a familiar aura that for a long time he hadn't encountered.

"Was this a fate, the dimensional guards came to stop my plan again." The creature said loudly.

Without further ado or just a greeting of introduction for the meeting they made, the unknown figure was about to clutch his body. Quickly the Soldier dodged, jumped far back and tried to speed up the recovery of all wounds.

Soldier's eyes stared high up into the sky, the body of the unknown creature was clearly larger than Mount Merapi, imagining how strong the energy radiated to make the entire horizon dark.

Light spots were emanated on the Soldier's forehead, symbols scratches radiating from head to toe, including Soldier's consciousness piled with other memories that had suddenly appeared.

"Memory release: the keeper of dimensions: Davendra."

It is about the origin of the real life of the Soldier, when existence as a dimensional guardian figure is resurrected by a true god.

As if to be an inseparable destiny, when the world will experience a great disaster from the enemies of the universe, he comes as a savior.

A hero who appeared three thousand years ago, saving humanity from mass extinction by predators.

"Azezal, lord of the dimension of Noir, king of predators, dissident of god's destiny and bearer of disaster, did you come back to repeat the same destruction." Said the Soldier with another figure in his soul.

"My goal is to have a world worthy of a whole race of predators, we're tired of living with cannibalism to survive."

"That is a fitting punishment for you, for the world in which you live is destroyed by the deeds of your own people." Soldier Reveal.

The land was arid, hot and barren, without a single tree living in the world in the Noir dimension, they all had no other choice but to kill each other and eat the carcasses of each other.

But there is no effect without cause, hundreds of thousands of years ago, predators were like humans, the green world and advanced civilizations. Until the gluttony of strength and eternal life makes them start destruction.

War, oppression, and all sorts of mischief make their world miserable, including predators wanting to fight the destiny of god.

Punishments were dropped, their civilization was annihilated, including genetic damage that changed the structure of the body and made each descendant like a monster.

These are all punishments that they must accept.

And Azezal was the ruler of an entire race of predators that occupied the Noir dimension, he was waging war to be able to master the mortal dimension of the human race.

"Do you think just because it gets a little bigger it can beat me, even before I beat you with just one hand." Saying Soldier .

"Don't be arrogant...." Azezal angry.

The pounding of the large thorny hand fell down from a height, landing right above the Soldier's head, but came to a halt as the small hand lifted up, the blistering of two collisions of energy between the Soldier and the Azezal made a huge arch under the footing.

The soldier pushed and turned Azezal's body back one step, one stop finger bringing out a huge golden sword the size of Azezal. Swinging his hand and unsheathing the sword to make an attack, Azezal deflected with his hand, trying his hardest to dodge.

*******

Setsu now breaks through the dimensional tunnel.

Setsu's goal is the Astral Dimension. There is very different from the mortal dimension or the noir dimension, because the world of these astral beings has no form, no land or territory that can be touched.

What Setsu sees now is only darkness, not knowing left or right, just seeing a compass that points the direction for Setsu to follow.

A place where some of the souls of the covenants with the astral spirits are stored and become residents in it. Even so, the memories of the souls from their past lives were long gone and their current life was to serve with the Astral Queen.

As long as the footsteps retraced, the Nirvana compass had stopped moving and pointed downwards.

"So here...." Without hesitation, Setsu pulled out a knife and stabbed forward.

The blade pierced through the darkness, cracks after cracks formed and broke until the eye view that originally only saw darkness now turned into a white space as wide as the horizon and particles of light floated around it.

The astral beings.

Until a large golden-yellow spot of light appeared above Setsu's head. Her form turned into a large woman with a vague face filled with colorful light.

"Son of man, what purpose did you come to this astral dimension." Ask the light point.

"I want to pick up Zifa's soul." Setsu said of his purpose.

"A covenant has been established, Zifa gave up some of her soul for us, and she accepted it. But you want to take it back, do you have a fair price." Ask the Astral Queen.

"I'll give up half my soul instead." Reply Setsu.

"It's not enough." The queen refused.

"Then take my whole soul, but let me bring Zifa's soul out of the astral dimension." Setsu tried to bargain.

"Do you think I'm a stupid creature, I'm sure you'll leave after you get the soul you want. Even just by going into the astral dimension is already a crime." The Queen did not want to let Setsu off.

But in that conversation, the world of the astral dimension turned dark, black hands emerged from above the sky and captured the body belonging to the Astral queen.

And an eye opened, it was an astral creature with a pitch-black aura that was trying to fight against the dimensional ruler.
