The Unusual Highschool Days
Vessels (1)

    Gio regains consciousness from his fainting, and realizes that the situation has completely changed compared to when he climbed up the Ring to stop Ivana. Eric, Vira and King were still lying unconscious. Right next to Eric, a mysterious young man was kneeling down and putting his hand over Eric's heart.Of course, since Gio was only a Sub Esper, he could neither see nor feel Ether energy.

    “Who is he?” gio asked Alfian who was standing not far from him.

    “Gio, have you realized?”

    Gio tried to get up, but he felt his legs ache and throb. In addition, some parts of his body also appeared to have suffered quite severe injuries.

    “Ivana is okay?” gio asked as soon as he recalled the fight he had fought over the Ring.

    “Ivana is okay. which is why napa is precisely lo” replied Alfian.

    “why is Yukiya here?” ask Gio again.

    “the story is long, I will explain. Obviously, now we have to get Eric out of that guy.you might not be able to see it, but there, that guy again enters the black Ether energy into Eric's body. I also don't know what it does. One thing for sure I know is. Eric is in danger” Alfian explained as briefly as possible.

    Yukiya took out a wooden block from behind the Ring and ran as fast as possible to attack the mysterious young man.

    “Yukiya, don't be rash!” Nathanael. But too late, again in one hand in the air, the mysterious young man threw Yukiya until the young man's body hit the barrier.

    “Yukiya!” Ivana who saw Yukiya hurt came straight to her sister. “lo is crazy! If I can't fight him, what else elo!” ivana said when she saw fresh blood flowing from Yukiya's arm that appeared to be hit by some kind of shard. Ivana took off her Hoodie to wipe the wound.

    But, something's weird.

    As soon as Ivana's hoodie swept the blood out, the wound on the yukiya skin was gone. Not only that, Ivana also just realized that the wound that was originally on Yukiya's face was gone, leaving no traces.

    “Yukiya lo...” Ivana is out of words, she can hardly believe what she sees. For the first time, everyone realized that yukiya was no ordinary disciple.

    Gio got up, and approached yukiya despite having to drag his injured leg.

    “Good if so..” said Gio who realized that Yukiya has a regeneration ability that is much higher than normal humans.

    With his Copycat ability, he mimics yukiya's regeneration ability to heal wounds on his body.

    “Because you have let go of ours, then your soul is his pay!” the demonic woman spoke. Eric could feel the chains that bound him to the ground becoming stronger and stronger, and an army of undead were already circling around him, preparing to hurt him at any moment.

    Strangely enough, none of the undead touched Eric. Eric only realized that a translucent golden shield was about three meters in diameter, surrounding him. The undead army was crumbling into the ground once it touched the shield.

    “Eric!”

    Eric heard the voice of the girl calling out to him. Not far from where he was, Vira and Elvira appeared while holding hands. The undead are distracted, now they're after Vira and Elvira.

    Meanwhile, Eric attempts to untie the chains that bind his legs in the same way as he releases the chains at King's feet. He had to move quickly, there was no guarantee that the golden shield would last as long as it did.

    Lilith again attacked Eric.This time, a pair of venomous snakes slid towards her, but again, the creature was instantly destroyed once it touched the protection shield. While Lilith launches a tubered attack, Eric manages to untie the chains that bind her.

    At the same time, the black cloud that had originally come with Lilith, suddenly disappeared. And with the black clouds gone, Lilith and her undead army were turned to the ground and destroyed. The ether pressure that had originally imploded slowly thinned.

    “Eric, this is our chance. Let's go!” vira pulls Eric's arm back towards the open sea.

     Gio's kick hits the mysterious young man.The young man is knocked down, and the flow of Ether entering Eric is cut off. After using his yukiya ability to heal himself, Gio Langusng imitates Janetta's ability to hide her presence in order to approach the mysterious young man.

    Eric and Vira are both awake at the same time. Eric got up and sat down while trying to catch his breath.

    “What is this?” eric asked puzzledly when he realized that there was now an additional enemy in that place, and Gio was fighting against him.

    “How are you doing?” ask janetta. “what happened there? are you okay?”

    “The story is long. There are important things that I should takein.” Eric answered briefly.

     Gio launched his attack against the mysterious young man, but in the middle of the fight, he felt his head spin. He loses his balance and is eventually knocked against the walls of the GOR by the telekinesis abilities of the mysterious young man he faces.

     Eric looked around. Armed with the abilities he borrowed from Daniel, it seems, he has a great opportunity to keep up with the mysterious young man.

    But the mysterious young man just stood still and looked at Eric straight. He did not launch any attacks when Eric stepped closer to him.

    “Who Lo?” asked Eric directly.

    “Didn't I introduce myself to you earlier?”

    The young man opened a helmet that covered his entire head and face.

    Silver hair and that face…

    It was familiar to the Espers who were members of Esperia.it was the exact face with the ghost who had been following Alfian and Elvira where.

    “No way... lo” Alfian out of words.

    After all, in the eyes of an Esper the figure of the young man seemed to be piled with the shadow of a woman with branching horns and eyes with flaming flames.  A demon who now inhabits the body.
