Taking a long sigh, the bat-winged green wolf floated by flapping its wings constantly in front of Ron who also seemed to be swamped by the breeze.
The night was cold, and the sky showed no stars. However, the darkness of the sky was not due to overcast weather or just being cloudy. That night, the night sky above Batavia Castle was so dark that it was tightly covered by hundreds of bat monsters who gathered from all over Batavia at the call of the green wolf.
Ron was silent for a moment, then began to take a deep breath and suddenly he screamed as loud as he could.
" RAAAAAARRRRR !!!!"
" ... ??? What the heck are you trying to do by screaming like that, brat !? Are you kidding? "
"Aaa ~ !!"
Hearing that response from the green wolf made Ron very annoyed and immediately showed two eyebrows that swooped down the middle of his face.
"I'm serious!! I was just being kind, you know !! I was just trying to drive you out before you fell from the sky, why don't you understand! "
"Hah? falling from the sky, what is this boy talking about? "
"Hmph !! Then don't be sorry! "
The wolf paused for a moment at Ron's threat, which pointed his finger in annoyance. It's not that he doesn't recognize the strength of the Pitung fighters that he has observed from the sky, about how each one of them has extraordinary unique powers. However, while observing Ron the Boy closely and his hundreds of troops floating around the sky, laughter was released.
"WHA HA HA HA HA HA HA, HEI YOU ALL HEAR WHAT THIS BOY SAYING! HE SAYS 'DON'T REGRET IT', YOU HEAR THAT! ~ "
" BUAHH HA HA HA HA HA HAH"
The sky, which had been dark and silent, was suddenly filled with ridicule and sarcasm. The sound of hundreds of bat monsters was thick around Ron, but Ron ignored it and only sharpened his eyebrows with puffed cheeks. At once there was an even sharper sound screeching in the sky. Deafening and breaking the darkness of the night sky filled with monsters. A line of thin clouds rose straight from the trajectory of the sound source.
It was then that the green wolf immediately realized that the little boy who had been floating silently in front of him was gone. Soon squeak was repeated many times in conjunction with the monsters that began to fall one by one.
"What happened?! Did that kid do this? "
The question was immediately answered with a voice coming from behind him.
" 'The one who blows the wind', that's the name of my gift, uncle monster."
" ... !!"
Immediately the wolf turned around, but the figure of the owner of the voice had disappeared leaving a straight white cloud.
In his panic, the wolf tried to catch the boy's figure with his two eyes. However, because of its speed racing, even to catch with his eyes just hard for the wolf. Then, remembering that his opponent was a boy, the wolf immediately thought of inciting him and immediately shouted.
"BOYS, IF DARE TO SHOW YOURSELF AGAINST ME !! LET US FIGHT A FAIR FIGHT !! "
§
Dane, the true form behind the green wolf with bat wings. During the early days of his career, he started by following the VOC merchant ship and sailed to Batavia as a mercenary assasins. Soldiers who shouldn't be on a merchant ship.
In carrying out his job he succeeded in eliminating many of the top brass on merchant ships against the VOC who was his trading rivals. By sneaking all his assassination missions he completed various kinds of deadly poisons which he made himself from materials provided by the VOC.
Since then his career has continued to rise and his name in the VOC trade union is increasingly known. Until one day the governor-general heard him and appointed him as one of his personal bodyguards.
Actually, for Dane, the position was not something that was lucrative and neither was money. But one thing that attracted him to the governor-general's offer was a challenge.
His ability to mix poison has long been a source of pride for him. Which even among his comrades, his name could smell good because of his abilities. However, as long as he carried out his career as an assassin with a poison that could not be detected by medical science from any country, a small pebble appeared in his heart. That pebble is a form of dissatisfaction, something sticks up in his heart. Even though he has carried out his career brilliantly and his name has also been increasingly recognized among him. But that something has remained stuck over the years.
Then the governor-general gave him a challenge.
" Conquer the world with your talents, make the world acknowledge your skills !! Starting from Batavia, be my bodyguard and you can poison the entire population of Batavia to your heart's content !! "
Dane paused for a moment to hear the governor's offer. That something, something lumpy like a pebble in his heart, which even he didn't know what it was. Immediately, the governor-general said that his pride as the best poison dispenser had never been recognized by the world for how deadly the poison mixture was.
Immediately Dane accepted the governor's invitation, as the governor's personal bodyguard and as the mixture of the most deadly poison in Batavia.

Dane was planning something, facing the boy who was able to move freely like a bullet. Dane prepared his deadly plan.
Remitterende rotkoorsten (deadly fever), roode loop (bloody bowel movements), febre ardentes, malignae et putridae (severe, nasty, and foul fever ), and mort de chien ( sudden death). Various names of diseases emerged among indigenous life in Batavia. But, nobody knows if it is the work of a concoction of Dane who ordered the troops to poison the food of the population on the eve of the day when the curfew takes effect.
And this time he plans to use one of his most deadly poisons ' mort de chien' or in a language the inlanders understand as 'sudden death'. Is a poison that will attack the nervous system and immediately order the brain to stop all body performance. The poison was in the form of a clear green liquid which he could smear on his long nails in the form of a monster. For that, all he needed was one stroke.
Just one scratch, but to be able to give that one stroke to the boy who was moving as fast as a shot bullet was not trivial. So Dane immediately prepared his plan.
First, he deliberately provoked the boy by challenging him one on one. But of course for Dane the boy who had shot as fast as a bullet could not be the same as a kid in general who would immediately be consumed by the provocation.
And just as Dane expected, the bullet boy Ron ignored him and continued to dash to finish off hundreds of monsters that floated to fill the sky. Then Dane prepared the next step.
And second, while continued to provoke him he makes the poison in liquid form that he had prepared in a capsule that will burst to wet the target skin when thrown. This special poison he mix to kill humans and will work differently on monster skins like himself. So he thought if he couldn't make the boy stop then all he had to do was make the boy touch the poison by himself.
Instantly shaped poison capsule that soon he shot spread about the soldiers and make their skin greenish. Some of the soldiers were shocked and some did not have time to realize it because they were too busy facing the boy's attack.
And immediately the boy stopped. A smirk immediately appeared on Dane's face. The face that accentuates its mouth and dozens of teeth. Seeing the boy gasping for breath, immediately Dane announced his victory.
"YOU TOUCH IT, IT IS MY GREATEST WORK ' MORT DE CHIEN ' DEADLY POISON THAT ONLY CAN KILL YOU WITH A MERE TOUCH IN A FEW SECONDS !! HWA HA HA HA HA HA !!"
"Hah?! What are you talking about, poison? "
Ron's shortness of breath began to stabilize again while still hovering in the air.
" ... !! No way, why isn't the poison working? haven't you touched them? "
Tilted his head Ron slowly approached.
" Touch? Oh, you mean the bat monsters? Of course, I didn't touch it. You don't know! In order to fly as fast as that bullet, I have to create empty air pressure around me so that my body doesn't get crushed by the wind! Also flying fast during that time is really tiring making my breath falter! "
"What?!"
"Yes, empty air pressure that surrounds me! In other words, it was the collision of air that hit them and knocked them down helplessly! But don't worry uncle, I have predicted the place where they fell so they won't die after falling. "
"I really don't understand ... "
Instantly Dane's body felt weak and her balance began to break away from his body.
"Oh yeah, I actually moved faster than you can see, and some of the ones that fell were actually those that I hit long ago. and that includes you. So sleep soundly in the river, okay! "
While watching the boy wave he saw hundreds of his soldiers also lost their balance and fell with him.
That night under the yellow moon that illuminates the night, the great river that limits the Castle of Batavia and Batavia City turns green while filled with the bodies of soldiers VOC and the reflection of the moonlight.
