2 knife man, monster kid and glutton spiri (2/2)

The spirit was thrown into a rock and started to build up rage as it realized who his attacker was. It was Daren in his monster form, a black massive creature who looked like a combination of a man and a lion walking on two legs. The spirit was familiar with his opponent, they had engaged in battle many times in the past. The monster lion could harm him but never completely kill him. But something was different. The part of the body that was attacked by Daren was burning. This wasn't just pain, it was divine energy.

Confused by how Daren managed to hurt him, the spirit gave another look and noticed something silver on Daren's hands. His hand were covered in metallic silver claws in a perfect shape to fit exactly into his body.

”It worked! I can kill him!”

”As long as you are ok with killing something that looks like you own wife that is.”

”What the!!? Who said that??”

”...It's me Daren, your dead grandma! I'm haunting you for all the times you rejected my homemade cook. Who do you think it is idiot??”

”Marceus?? How are you speaking to me right now?”

”I can speak inside the mind of anyone who wears me. By the way you are about to get punched.”

”I'm about to what?”

And as he said that the huge lion creature was smacked by the spirit in the stomach and collided with a nearby tree.

”Whoa... He attacked in the same spot... Guess he is a vengeful spirit ha ha.”

Daren stoop up from his fall and started to charge towards the spirit.

”Take this seriously!”

”Why? Didn't you say that you always beat this guy? Just do what you always do.”

”That's because he knows i can't kill him so he never took me seriously. Now that i can he will be coming at me with everything he has.”

”Eh... Don't worry, even if he kills you i will survive and tell your story.”

”Please stop talking!!”

The monster lion and the big mouthed spirit started exchanging blows with each other. Every once in a while the spirit would try to eat the still sleeping child but Daren was always fast enough to protect him.

”Daren i know this isn't a good time but i need to tell you something.”

”Now?? You need to use the toilet or something? I'm fighting for my life over here!”

The spirit grabbed Daren by the leg and started to slam him on the ground repeatedly.

”It's just that i still can't see the spirit no matter how hard i try, so i just wanted you to know that you kinda look like you're dancing with yourself right now ha ha.”

Daren was about to be slammed into the ground another time bu managed to bury his claws into the earth and forced himself to be freed from his opponent.

”Aaaah!! Get me off!! Get me off the ground! It's dirty!!”

”You promise to shut up?”

”Yes!! Now please get me off the ground!! I can't breath!!”

The spirit charged towards Daren with immense speed. It's mouth more open than ever before.

”It's trying to eats us.”

”With my speed he will never catch us.”

”No it's ok! Let him eat us!”

”have you lost your mind?”

”Trust me!”

The spirit moved like a bullet towards the duo in a attempt to bite Daren's head off. The two collided and Daren was pushed backward by the impact, with the spirit's teeth covering his entire head. Then all of sudden, the spirit begun to burn with the same pain as before, only this time his whole body was affected by the energy. He screamed in pain and anguish trying to understand what happened. Daren's claws were still buried when he went for the bite so the silver claws shouldn't have touched him. But on a close look he realized that the silver claws were gone and that now Daren had a silver lion-shaped helmet with a massive horn on top of his eyes.

The spirit had been stabbed by that horn, at that speed and in a very deep place. Survival was impossible. He tried to reach for the sleeping kid one last time, but his shape disappeared before he could touch him.

Daren and Marceus stood close by victorious as their opponent vanishes.

”What happened? Did we win?”

”The spirit is gone...”

Daren breathed a huge sigh of relief as he realized his long battle against the killer of his loved one was finally gone.

”You can get off my head now...”

”You sure? If we stay like this forever you won't have to worry about people being scared of your ugly face anymore ha ha!”

Daren grabbed Marceus in his helmet shape and threw him in a nearby lake where he got attacked by an angry looking crocodile that was sleeping.

”Thanks for the help by the way.”

Said Daren as he watched Marceus fight for his life against his new mortal enemy.
