Chapter 33 - Exorcists
One week has passed since that day, and in this one week, Taufik has gone to the library almost every day.
He read Anything he could read, and he absorbed all the knowledge he could get from books in the library.
science, technology, theory, engineering, and many more, he was like a sponge/spons that absorbs all the knowledge.
One day one Hundred books were impossible for a normal human, but Taufik with his skill "photographic Memory" Could Do it.
------
'This the last book for today'
After he had finished reading the book, he put it back in its place and then prepared to back home.
When he got to the parking lot and was about to get on his bike, he felt something, he felt someone's Gaze on him.
'Someone following me again?'
But He chose to ignore whoever that following him, this was not the first time in this one week, that he felt someone was following him.
He just ignored it because whenever he chose to ignore it, and then go straight home, that "person" would disappear too.
So he rode his bike, activated the engine, then went on his way.
However, although he has been quite far from the library, he still feels that gaze.
'What does this guy want?'
When he already getting close to his house but that 'person' is still following him, he finally decides to face that person himself.
so instead of going to his home, he comes to somewhere a Desolate place that he knows.
------
When they saw their target stopped, the two people that have been following Taufik also stopped.
"Gilang, the target has stopped, what do we have to do now, are we gonna face him now, Or do we have to wait for longer, again?"
"No, we take him down now, the higher-ups have given their order, If we delay any longer, we might be punished, so we gonna take him down now"
"But we do not know the target capability is, in these few days when we watch him he just comes to the library to read the book, if the thing he does can be considered as reading, and directly returns the his home"
Gilang then looked at his friend 'Chandra', what Chandra said was indeed true, these few days that they had been watching Taufik he only did that, nothing more, but the higher-ups had given their order, that we have to get rid of the person who has interfered with their business and maybe has stole their technique.
"But we still have to do it"
"..."
"Prepare your weapon, although we don't what his capabilities are we can't take him lightly, after all, he was the person who took down all the 'inferior demons' inside the forest"
Chandra hesitated for a few moments but still took out his weapon, two karambit.
Gilang too took his weapon out, a short sword.
"Are you ready, Chandra? You were the fastest person among us interns, so you were the key to this attack"
"But he is still human, can we do this"
"...we can, just think of him as an 'inferior demon', you just need to do your job and I will be the one who Finnish him"
"Oka-"
Chandra can't Finnish what he wants to say, because the one who is Supposed to be their target, bud in the conversation.
"Hey, how long you will make me wait, I need to go home quickly, you guys have been chatting like 30 minutes or so, I'm tired of this shit, just come!!"
"!!!" x2
-----
From the very start of their conversation, Taufik heard everything they said with his Enhanced sense.
But it's getting dark, and he's tired of waiting.
"Hey, how long you will make me wait, I need to go home quickly, you guys have been chatting like 30 minutes or so, I'm tired of this shit, just come!!"
But they still didn't get out.
"Fuck, you get out or I will make you guys out myself!!"
Only after he said that he saw two people come out from behind the bush, holding a weapon.
"Who are you? why are you following me?"
The two of them looked at each other, and then the one who holding a short sword nodded his head.
"We from the Exorcist Association Indonesia Branch"
'Exorcists?'
"What you do inside the forest these few months, has angered our higher-ups, so they ask us to get rid of you"
Gilang adds a few words.
"You kill something that Supposed can't kill, so our higher-ups Suspect you have stolen our secret technique, our holy technique"
-----
Human is a special life form because they have a unique Core, and every human has that core.
They are unique because the human core is compatible with any energy, they can absorb MANA of the world, Holy Power, even demonic energy, they can absorb all of that.
MANA is formless Energy but easy to control, that's why MANA can make any shape like fire, earth, wind, water, and any other spell because it's easier to control MANA.
holy power is different, although holy power is also formless energy, holy power is hard to control, so the only option is to use it raw or infuse it into an object, so the object can contain the Holy power.
And then demonic energy, in this world that is full of Contaminated MANA, To get demonic energy is as easy as walking, and also easy to control, but demonic energy is very corrosive so only a few insane people who want instant power will use this energy.
And what the Exorcists have is Holy power.
The Exorcist Association suspects Taufik because the way he uses his power is the same as when they use their technique, infusing the holy power into their weapon to fight the inferior demons.
And this technique is a secret technique that only the Exorcist knows, so When someone who is not an Exorcist uses the same technique, they will think that person may have stolen their technique or Someone may have told him about it, but whatever the cause is, they can't let it go.
------
"Stole your technique? what technique?"
Taufik asks in confusion, But the two people don't want to hear his reason at all.
"There is no Thief who will claim himself as a Thief, Thief"
*Swosh* Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Chandra then disappeared from his place, then appeared again in Taufik's back ready to attack him with his Karambit.
But Taufik who has an Enhanced sense can see all of his moves.
'Fast, but not as fast as me'
Using his left hand He then took out his katana from his inventory, then defended himself with it without pulling the katana from the scabbard.
Chandra Karambit Hit the scabbard.
"Plaackk"
Seeing his attack failed, Chandra used his left hand to attack again, this time his target was Taufik's armpits area.
But all of his moves, have been known by Taufik.
with his right hand, he draws his katana from the scabbard, and before Chandra's attack can reach him, He twists his body, then slashes his katana to block the Advanced Attack from Chandra.
*Desinggg*
Gilang who is staying behind, looks at the opening that his friend has made and joins the battle, he charges toward Taufik at full speed, with the intent to stab Him with his short sword.
But Taufik who sensed him, Activated his Aegis shield, so before the attack could reach him, the attack had already stopped.
After seeing their attack didn't succeed, They tried to Widen their distance from Taufik, but Taufik didn't allow it, he slashed at Chandra who was close To him.
*Slashh*
Chandra who can't get too far from Taufik and can't match Taufik's speed, gets hit by Taufik's attack.
*aghhhh*
Gilang who Saw his friend injured once again charged at Taufik, hoping Chandra's wound would quickly heal with the help of his Holy power.
But Gilang it's just too weak for Taufik.
And Taufik who wants to go home quickly, uses his technique.
'SwordMagic - Earth Form : Gravity 10 fold'
Chandra who felt the sudden pressure, couldn't hold it, then fell to the ground.
*Ughhh*
Gilang tried to get up, but the pressure was just too much for him, but he still tried to get up with the help of Holy energy but still useless, he couldn't move at all.
Looking at Gilang who can't move anymore, he gets close to Chandra and wants to kill him first then kill Gilangl next.
Taufik who didn't want to waste time any longer, wanted to get rid of Chandra as soon as possible.
But his attack stopped at One inch above chandra's heart when he heard Gilang's Voice.
"S-stop!!! Please s-stop! D-don't kill him, he was the only family I had after losing my parents, PLEASE DON'T KILL HIM!!!"
Taufik just looks at him, like looking at some crazy person.
"... And why do I have to care about that, you want to kill me first, so why I can't kill you too, where's the logic?"
"..."
