Chapter 6: answers and a luming thread
Max squigly and Parasoul were in her car Parasoul wasn't stupid she could tell that he could easily destroy this car and her too but the undead girl's presence is not doing her any favors but she was more focused on the boy.
Parasoul: so I would like to ask what is your name?
Max: max McKnight and that's my real name.
Parasoul: good to know but let ask you who actually are you?
Max: I'm an exorcist.
Squigly: exorcist like people who like lore out demons?
Max: pfft well if you wanna call them that yeah you can say they are demons but they really aren't.
Parasoul: you mean these creatures?
Parasoul grabbed her laptop and showed max squigly and leviathan a picture of lost souls but squigly didn't hear about the news so she was lost on the current situation.
Leviathan: my goodness what are those horrid abominations.
Max: those are lost souls they are created when a human dies and if they are overwhelmed by negative emotions they lose their sanity and become an animal thar devours souls to satisfy there hunger.
Parasoul and squigly were in shock to learn that these creatures are born from humans when they die and become that but something doesn't make sense.
Parasoul: hold on if these things were originally human why did they appear now and that is when you appeared out of thin air.
Max: because I'm not from this world.
Parasoul: what do you mean?
Max just let out a sigh of defeat and just explain it again.
Max: believe this if you want but I'm from another world squigly told me about the skull heart and were I'm from that doesn't exist were I'm from when something via animals or humans dies they become a spirit and those spirit have two forms lost soul which is what those things are and pure soul they are basically guardian spirit and I got dragged here through a portal and who ever brought me here is probably trying to finish me off.
Parasoul had to process this boy which now knows as max said that he is from another world one that the skull heart doesn't exist the thought felt like an impossible dream but the creatures and Max's abilities he no person with special weapons or a powerful parasite can do that so she had no choice but to learn more.
Parasoul: if you are from another world how do you deal with these Lost souls our weapons didn't made a single damage and when you attacked them they were scared.
Max: that's because your weapons can't damage souls or spirits
Parasoul: what does that mean?
Max: your weapons are no enchanted and anything of that nature but lost souls are meta physical so the only way to damage its with special means.
Parasoul: so those blades of yours are special?
Max: yeah They are but what you really need to hurt them.
Max showed his hand and he gathered spiritual energy and his hand was black spiritual energy dancing in his hand.
Parasoul was used to super natural things but is coming from a human being.
Parasoul: so if it's spiritual are saying you are using your own soul as an energy source.
Max: it's more like my soul is my body's light bulb I can turn it on and off when I want and this energy can inhance my body beyond human limits let's say I'm not that strong physically but with an inhanced punch I can easily burst through concrete thoughts my greatest weapons are these
Black arms came from his back startled parasoul but calm down when she realized she isn't in danger.
Parasoul: what are those things.
Max: these are my black arms in can change the shape of these things basically sword claws hammer you name it.
Squigly: but why do you use a blade you if those things can turn into anything you want?
Max: doesn't hurt to have an arsenal up your sleeve.
Parasoul: well at least is good to know that you aren't an enemy.
Max: as long as you don't do anything against me I won't do anything to you.
Parasoul: fair enough but now to the more glaring problem why was one of the medichi doing in that graveyard?
Max: there was two of them and they were there to kill me squigly took the girl and I took on one named Eliza.
Parasoul: the singer? she is with the medichi I did some research on her but bearly anything came up.
Leviathan: that's because of a parasite named sekhmeth it's a skeleton like parasite thar feeds of blood and that woman used it to keep herself young.
Parasoul: I see that would make sense. But what happened?
Max: I was about to kill Eliza she might have lived for a long time but I'm stronger than a normal human so when I was about to cut her head off she grabbed that girl and used her as a meat shield and she got away I couldn't chase after her because of the girl I cut her stomach but luckily before her guts got out I managed to wrap my black arms around her and heal her.
Parasoul: wait you can heal injuries?
Max: yeah that's how squigly here is currently alive I first gave her some of my energy and her soul awoke and when I healed her are which originally had a bone exposed my healing energy jump started her dead cells now her body is work as if she was alive but some of the damage like her purple skin and eyes can't be done because it was there for a long time but on the other hand she now has a crazy good healing factor so even if I hit her instead she would be fine.
Parasoul: but why did had trouble healing cerebella?
Max: like I said with squigly her cells are dead so in a way they are workers with infinite stamina but cerebella has working cells so since she isn't like squigly she her cells aren't quick enough to heal her. Oh and another thing I knew you were coming so I kinda let you caught me.
Parasoul: so that's why you didn't look surprised when we showed up.
Max: well when you can sense souls you don't get surprised much.
Parasoul: I see but can I ask what are you planning to do?
Max: well I need to find a way home obviously but I have nothing and my folks are probably worried about me.
Parasoul: so you just want to go back home?
Max: I have a family there we aren't blood related but we are still family and I also have friends there that saved my life multiple times so yeah I have to go back but if you are thinking that I'm asking the skull heart you are mistaken I will find my own way back besides I highly doubt that thing has the ability of universal travel other wise the whole multiverse would be fighting for it.
That thought gave parasoul chills but she put that aside as for squigly she honestly felt bad for max being trapped in a place were your family isn't around sounds lonely.
Parasoul: what are you gonna do with the girl are you just gonna let her heal and then kick her out?
Max: okay first that a little cruel and second she could be useful to you?
Parasoul: how?
Max: you want to take down the medichi too right so have be an inside man or woman so that you can get information on them and this will be useful help her realize that the medichi are scum.
Parasoul: and if this doesn't work?
Max: well guess we will just send her footage or audio messages so thar she that she hears for herself.
Squigly: this sounds like a farfetched plan but still convincing her is not gonna be easy
Max: yeah what a pain in the ass.
In another part of the city Eliza was walking down an alley she was really suffering a massive blow that still stings and she used cerebella to escape she doesn't care even if the medichi found out they wouldn't care too them cerebella was a tool and Eliza tolerated the girl because she had no choice and she was planning to kill her eventually but that boy ruined everything her two fateful servants were dead and now she is rooming around these nasty alley to stay out of sight and the worst part is that she was running low on blood half of her face showed sekhmeth but she swore to get revenge on him.
Eliza's though were cut off when she was grabbed by the neck and thrown towards a wall she was in pain but her rage keeped her from passing out she looked up to see who had the nerve to treat her like she was a peasant but instead of some Hooligans but she saw 3 knights but one had red on him.
Red knight: tell us woman is max McKnight here?
Eliza was starting to think that these fools were some sort of special until of the medichi but max McKnight is that Name of the boy.
Eliza: If that's the name of the boy im sorry to disappoint you but I don't know were he is?
The knight grabbed Eliza by the throat and was checking her the knight looked at her in a threatening manner.
Red knight: if you don't know you are useless to us.
The knight was about to draw his sword but.
Voice: no bring her to me she could be use full.
Red knight: looks like my lord has plans for you.
The knight threw Eliza who was coughing the lost knights grabbed her of course she struggled but they kicked her in her face.
A red portal cracked open and the knights with Eliza on one of there shoulder walked through the portal and disappeared along with the crack in space only the red knight remained.
Red knight: the dog scouts were killed and this world is weak and only exorcist or spiritual beings can kill those creatures so when I find him I will bring him to our lord the black knight.
