Chapter 18 - CHAPTER XVII Illusion or Reality  

The appearance of the fighters in front of Batavia Castle changed things immediately. However, the dozens of VOC soldiers and Pieterzcoon's four personal bodyguards were a threat that should be taken into account.

With dozens of soldiers ready to fire their weapons again, Morteas once again transformed into his furless black wolf form. On the reverse side, the three bodyguards on Pieterzcoon's side began to change as well.

One turned into a white wolf with three eyes and five tails and immediately ran to confront the fighters to the west side. And another one turned into a gray wolf with a body full of prism-shaped holes on its arms, tail, and legs that emitted endless smoke, and after transforming it ran towards the east side.

Then one more Pieterzcoon bodyguards turns into a green wolf with two wings and ears wide like a bat and began to roar into empty air.

"Lily, take princess and Herman away and hide towards the forest. Don't let them touch the princess! "

"Yes, Mr. Dekker "

Immediately Lily carried Anna and ran towards Herman who was just lying on the ground for some reason. Then lay Anna in addition to Herman he began to open his umbrella while puffing hundreds of fire butterfly surround them, and firmly establish a little dome.

"They ... !! Forcas, don't let them escape !! "

Heard that command the gray wolf immediately destroyed hundreds of fire butterfly. However, before the wolf gray can reach them, they disappeared into thin air the hundreds of fire butterflies.

"Now, how about we finish our business here, Honorable Governor General? "

" Of course, let's finish everything here right now, DEKKER !!!"

§

Hearing the sound of crickets screaming, Anna opened her eyes. In front of her, the leaves rustled, then her tears were dripping

"Alive ... I'm still alive!"

Even though she had given up, even though she didn't want to fight anymore. But she felt the cold air on her skin, the sound leaves the mounting friction in the wind. She can confirm that this is life.

Then slowly she lifted her body and noticed a voice other than the rustling of leaves.

"Herman !! Herman !! "

That voice was Ms. Lily, what's he doing in the middle of this dark forest? Anna rubbed her eyes as she crawled slowly towards Lily.

Slowly, with Anna's vision recovering, she began to see a man lying pale in front of Lily. Wait, isn't it Mr. Herman?! Anna has spontaneously felt the rush of worries.

"Mr. Herman ?! Ms. Lily, what happened to Mr. Herman? "

Lily did not answer, while continuing to look at the figure of Herman she bit her lips slightly while squeezing her skirt in the grip of her slender hand. Her face looked restless and seemed to be in pain, but it didn't seem that the wound on her forehead had begun to dry up.

"Again he forced himself, that rudimentary technique!"

" Technique rudimentary? What do you mean, Ms. Lily? "

" Pacta, techniques to bind self-authority in the initial agreement, to use more authority than the given authority, we the seven counts fighter carrying out their respective agreements."

"Agreement?!"

" Yes princess, each of us has our own agreement and receives special powers that we can use against the invaders. And that special power is called 'grace'. Then by pronounce the word 'pacta' authority granted from the agreement will be increased, and unlock the true potential of her "

" The true ... potential? ... "

§

Akno exhaled his breath through the sidelines on his skeletal helmet. In front of him, the governor-general and the green wolf with bat wings roared. The roar of the green wolf could be heard waking up the starless night sky. And immediately, black shadows began to appear from all over Batavia, covering the sky.

"Akno, let me deal with him. There is something I have to solve alone with the governor! You take care of the black one. And Daisy, you take care of the gray one there! "

"Yes, Mr. Dekker ! "

"Yes, father !"

After adjusting the battle formation, the old man pushed the wheelchair forward and Akno turned back. Then huge roots immediately grew to separate them, creating four separate chambers with a wall of roots that towered into the sky.

"Hoi hoi hoi !! What is it, old man? To make a wall that high! Are you afraid of being surrounded? "

"Aren't you an old man too, Pieter? I just want a quiet room where I can talk ... "

"Talk? You think I want to do it? Instead, you talk to me, BETTER YOU TALK IN YOUR GRAVEEEE !!! "

As he stretched his hand forward, darkness spread out from the governor's back.

"You stubborn!!!"

§

"SHOOT ... SHOOOOOT !!!"

Morteas angrily ordered his troops, but not a single bullet could not penetrate Akno's hard white bone armor.

"Sir, we ... we run out of bullets!! "

"USELESS!!"

Gradually shortening the distance, Akno walked while making the ground around him tremble.

"He he, what's wrong, black dog? Running out of bullets ?? Well, then it's my turn now! "

While taking steps, Akno started running like a rugby player trying to break into his opponent formation.

"DAMN !! At this rate let me just do it myself !! "

Then from the ground beneath Morteas came out a huge scythe decorated with a skull with faint black smoke emanating from the two eyeholes of its skull. And quickly he swung the sickle around him and neatly cut the heads of the soldiers beside him without leaving anyone surprised by his actions.

" You think only you can do it, huh, you walking bone!! ... PACTAAAA !!!! "

Black smoke immediately rose from the ground around the corpses of the soldiers, rising up and obscuring the view around the area.

§

Valvaro, with the figure of a white wolf with five tails and three eyes, is Pieterzcoon's best strategist.

With the ability of his third eye to see all the tricks of his enemy. Valvaro still never underestimates circumstances no matter what.

While observing his enemy slowly he watched his enemy in both large and small battles. And in front of him is a little boy dressed in European style with his brown hat standing still while reading a book.

What's that boy doing? Don't he know who he's dealing with? Is he underestimating me? No no no, this must be some kind of trap! I've read the file about the boy, the book in his hand! In the battle file, it was written that he could use illusions by making the pages of the book open by themselves while flying in his hands …, Valvaro thought evaluating the situation as he watched Pito read his book.

But, the books have not hovered at all. Does that mean he hasn't activated the illusion at all? Is that so? Okay then, let's give it a try.

Then the seam of its tail stood upright and from the end of each tail suddenly appeared a burning blue fire from nowhere. Then with his hands stretched forward, the five fireballs shot flying and hit Pito who was still standing still with his book.

Blap!

"AKH !! AAHHHHHHHHH !!!! "

Pito's body immediately burned with blue flames and blistered into a blackish fragility while still burning a little on some sides.

"Woahh, it's burning!"

" ... !!"

That voice! Valvaro immediately turned his gaze to his left. And he saw there the figure of Pito who should have been burning in front of his eyes was standing to open his book while watching his burning figure as if watching a show.

" ... Gheck !!"

Surprised by this, Valvaro immediately jumped to his right to widen the distance between him and the boy.

" What's wrong, uncle? Why are you surprised? "

" No is not possible !! When are you activate your illusion, brat !!! "

" Hmm ..., an illusion? "

Pito tilted his head as if confused by the wolf's words.

"Geh !! Rancid!! Then, PACTA !! "

As he opened his hands wide, he closed his three eyes and slowly they shifted together in the middle, making him a single eye in the middle of his face.

"Eh ?? What?? What do you want to do? "

While wondering like a child who has discovered something new, Pito's face beamed. But Valvaro ignored it and immediately activated his authority. And immediately, the one eye in the middle of Valvaro's face opened wide and threw a thin white air into the air. However ...

"HAAAAHH, HOW CAN IT BE THIS !! HOW CAN YOU STAND THERE REVERSED !!!! "

Valvaro, who had opened his treaty authority, was shocked hysterically when he still saw Pito's figure standing upside down in the empty air beside his right.

"Upside down? I? Isn't it Uncle who is upside down? "

"I'm the one upside-down ?!"

Sweat dripped between his white fur as he watched his feet. But nothing strange, his feet were still standing. His feet were still resting on ...

Suddenly his feet seemed to be pulled away from the ground which continued to leave as if leaving him at a high altitude. The hair rose up and feeling like a strike stung the skin immediately. His gaze was confused, his stomach nauseous, and his tongue clasping for speech. The world in his view, irregular chaotic spin endlessly and cried also be shot out of his mouth. However, suddenly the boy appeared again beside him.

"And do you know, uncle! Actually, my gift does not create the illusion! But more precisely the 'obscures the senses' grace allowed me to change what information my target's five senses would receive. Like the eye, the skin, the nose, the ears, what do you think if I can change the information that organ get?"

As Pito continued to explain his gift, Valvaro's whole body was immediately burned and frozen alternately in the middle of a world that still seemed to be spinning irregularly in his eyes. Then Pito continued his explanation as he kept moving around Valvaro.

"So in short, what you are experiencing now is not an illusion. Heat, cold, pain, nausea, and dizziness were all tangible information that only my five senses could perceive, in other words 'personal reality'! How is it, are you got it? So this is not an illusion but a different reality that you are feeling. So you don't have to be confused because you can't get rid of this illusion, because it's the reality that you feel, understand? "

Hearing all of Pito's explanation, Valvaro's eyes trembled and his pupils grew smaller. Then with bated breath, his scream shot out.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Valvaro, the strategist's white wolf, was lying on the ground with his eyes upside down and his mouth foaming.

Walked closer while closing the book. On the cover of the book is written in English 'The Art of War by Sun Tzu'. Pito fell silent as he looked at the figure of the white wolf lying helplessly in front of him. Then he said before finally turning away.

"So scary~, information is really scary ... "
