HHHA !! ... HHHHHA !!! .... HHHHHHHA...
The heavy breath repeated through Pieterzcoon's mouth as he walked raggedly towards his horse by the river.
"Pieter ..., where are you going? Your castle is still here, we won't do anything to you! "
"HHH !! .... HHHH !!! ..... SHUT UP !!! ..... DEKKER, THIS IS ALL BECAUSE OF YOU, BADBUCKER !! "
The five combatants stopped beside Dekker while looking at the governor general's tattered figure.
"Pieter ...."
Dekker stopped while his face was grim, his voice could no longer be heard by the governor's heart. It was like petrifying the governor's heart, which was filled with the ambition to conquer it, could not hear the voice of Dekker anymore.
While continuing to stagger Pieterzcoon continued to walk on the riverbank across from the six Pitung fighters. The aim was the horse, the horse calmly standing on the bank of the river whose water had turned black, while still sipping it.
The horse continued to sip the dark red water as Pieterzcoon continued to approach and that didn't bother Pieter at all. Even to Pieter beside him, without thinking Pieterzcoon immediately rode on him and pulled his saddle to quickly escape from that place. And suddenly it shocked the horse ...
"HIIIEEE ... !!!"
The horse's head was pulled, and that made the horse stand straight.
"Hah? let's go, horse, move your ... "
"Damn ...,"
The horse turned its face to the rider.
Then with a snap, he knocked the rider off his back and turned to face him.
"DON'T DISTURB ANYONE WHO IS ENJOYING HIS DRINK, IDIOT !!!"
Shouted the horse.
Pieterzcoon's face twitched stiffly, his eyes incessantly wide between his messy hairstyles. Not a word could come out of Pieterzcoon's mouth after seeing the horse screaming cursing at him.
Then the horse walked over to Pieterzcoon slowly and lowered his gaze until it was equal to Pieter's and was about to do something, however ...
"STOP !!!! WHO ARE YOU, ... DEVIL? "
Suddenly a cry of wonder doubt Dekker was stopped and makes he turned his face to the other side of the river.
The five fighters were seen in a state of alert, but they were still holding back because the grandfather in the wheelchair stretched out one arm to stop the other.
The tip of the horse's lips grinned, then without taking his eyes off the fighters the horse yelled at someone.
"HOI ... MEPHISTO, DON'T JUST SLEEP THERE !!!! ITS YOUR DUTY TO DEAL WITH THEM, HUMANS ... "
" Mephisto ? !! "
Hearing that name immediately reminded Dekker of an incident, a tragic incident that had claimed the life of his best friend.
But the atmosphere didn't let him think for long, a corpse suddenly moved and immediately became the new focus of attention.
"Ugh !! ... Akhh !! "
The corpse moved while letting out a slightly pained voice. The corpse of the soldier who had a hole right in the heart for being a shield for the youngest son of Pieterzcoon, when his father fired the first bullet of that night.
The soldier that Anna had released from her agreement with the devil who could turn her into a bat monster covered with ice on her skin.
Schluzt, that's the soldier's name. But somehow he who should have lost his life instead stood on his two feet as if nothing had happened.
"Ehmm ..., ahh how noisy you are"
"QUICKLY EXPLAIN TO THEM, MEPHISTO !!"
Prok ... Prok ... Prok ...
Schluzt walked over to the horse and the governor-general who could only be silent in a face full of confusion.
"Er ... I see ... my name is Mephistopheles, and that chatty horse over there is my partner Barbatos, nice to meet you all"
The man who used to be called Schluzt admitted that he was a Mephistopheles. As a bitter memory assaulted Dekker, it made his face turn bitter, and became even more alert and angry at that man's figure.
"You ...! You, Mephistopheles ... I remember you clearly! I ... won't forget what you did !! "
With a heavy sigh and a rage clearly visible on his face, Dekker tried to say that even though it was too hard for him to say.
However, Mephisto only replied with a brief glance then ignored it while walking towards the governor.
"Good evening Pieter, the governor-general of the VOC who succeeded in conquering the trading city of Jayakarta and remodeling it into the magnificent Batavia. Then ... do you remember it all because of who? "
The dread of his eyes never stopped, but because he felt the pressure of fear, the governor immediately replied.
"Yes yes, I remember! Nothing but all because of the strength you gave, O Mephisto the great. The covenant demon, Mephistopheles, all because of you! "
"Hmm ... good, ... then? ... then?? ..."
"... eegh, ..."
Panic was clearly seen once again on Pieter's face, who had difficulty answering. Obviously, he didn't understand what the devil meant.
"Er ..., isn't there anything else you have to say, Pieter ?!"
"... uh ..., yes ... why the sudden agreement doesn't work, O Mephisto the great? Didn't I make the sacrifice I deserved? "
"Then?"
"Why did the power you gave me disappear all of a sudden?"
"Why...? Can I not take what is mine whenever I want? "
Hearing that answer was like being electrocuted, Pieter's face paused for a moment. Then, he started to insist.
"What do you mean, you devil? Didn't I already give the offering? Didn't I give my son's life? What's taking yours whenever you want, huh? Isn't that cheating? "
"... hoo, is that so? You don't accept it. Okay, let me straighten your thoughts first "
As he approached the devil's broad smile was clearly reflected in front of Pieterzcoon.
"...?"
"First, I order you to sacrifice what you love. However, you sacrificed your youngest son even though even a little of your love for him was never exist ...
Second, the words that I expected to leave your mouth shouldn't be a complaint like this. However, what you should say is' Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Devils, so please take my worthless life as payment '...
And third, do you really want to complain that we cheated? Don't you know that the devil always cheats? Hihi ... hihihihi ... hihihihihihihihihihihihi .... "
" Bwahhaa hahaha haa haahhaha !!!"
The laughter of the two demons kept repeating, with Pieterzcooon who was silent in front of him who was unable to say anything. Realizing his helpless position, Pieter immediately made up his mind. He had to run from here, run away as far as somewhere. Keep running to at least survive.
However, just as he was about to turn around.
No !!
"Where are you going, bastard? You want to leave without paying, huh? "
The sole of the horse's shoe stepped on the cloth of his shirt, making him unable to escape from his place. Then, at once the horse's mouth opened wide and bit off its entire head to its neck. Leaving a stump with blood still gushing like a garden shower.
"NO, PIETER !!!"
Dekker shouted uncontrollably from his mouth but knowing his opponent was the devil he decided not to stay silent while swallowing the pain.
Krcchh !! Krchhh !! Krcchh !!
Repeatedly the horse's mouth chewed on it while continuing to let fresh blood flow out of its mouth without drinking it.
"Barbatos ~!"
"What? You're taking too long to take his life, if I don't take it he will surely obscure? "
"Ah, whatever, there is still one other agenda that we have to do"
While turning around the demon Mephistopheles walked towards the bridge. There lies the corpse of a young, blonde-haired man, the youngest son of the deceased governor-general Pieterzcoon.
"What are you going to do, devil?"
"Erm ..., what I want to do ... what am I going to do?"
The devil answered by repeating his words like someone who does not understand the question. Then he continued ...
"Have you ever heard of 'dragon serpent'?"
The demon was still walking slowly towards Meleonarch's corpse while turning to face the fighters and continuing his explanation.
"A mystical creature that has a giant, ferocious and greedy body, and is said to ... be able to encircle the world, De Jormungand!"
The grandfather's eyes immediately began to grow, but still helpless and could only listen in silence.
"Greek mythology says he was born in hell and was the son of the cunning god Loki, but that's not entirely true! Let me show you something interesting ... "
After saying those words Mephisto turned around and walked while jumping up and down with joy.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO, DEVIL !! STOP IT NOW !! "
Blaaaarrrrhhh !!!
Immediately stopped the footsteps of the fighters who were about to run stopped Mephisto's action. Immediately intercepted by the horse which suddenly jumped and blocked them.
"Hehe, from this point on you can't pass!!"
A sour face holding back despair was etched on the faces of the fighters, but what they faced was the devil. The spirit that has died, the dweller of the devil's hell.
Then, Mephisto continued his explanation while standing before the corpse of Meleonacrh who was lying limply and lifeless.
"Envy, Anger, Ambition, Revenge, Greed, the soul of this young man is so thick with negative emotions. Makes it suitable for the birth of a new dragon serpent! "
Back to his feet, Mephisto turned around before continuing his words.
"And for the last addition, the heart of a sinner ! "
While stretching out his hand, a fresh heart immediately flew into Meleonarch's palm. The fresh heart with its four artillery pieces belonged to none other than the black wolf Morteas.
Besides the large open gate of Batavia Castle, Morteas, who noticed the huge hole in his chest, could only stare as he spilled blood from his mouth before collapsing.
Plug!
The heart of Mephisto dropped right into the chest of the Meleonarch corpse. Then as the sky became thunderous clouds, the lightning flashed clearly visible on the cloudy clouds.
Then struck ...!
White lightning, like flashes of clouds followed by red lightning, black lightning, then brown lightning, continuously took turns striking Meleonarch's lifeless corpse. Until it caused a thick puff of smoke, covering the corpse of Meleonarch.
Then immediately came from within the thick puff of smoke, the roar of a creature alien to warriors. A roar that thundered softly, but the depth of that roar really pierced the ears of everyone who heard it.
The smoke started to thin, a white dragon was seen curling its neck. The white dragon the size of a young elephant curled up like a snake with four legs. Her eyes were sharply sliced with a bright blue color. While sticking out his tongue his head moved as if looking for something.
Then immediately, a shot of bluish-green black light shot straight from the young dragon's mouth. Straight like a perfect line through the forest as if aiming for something.
"Princess!!"
Soon Dekker realized it, the princess tomorrow. A figure capable of abolishing the devil's covenant. Could it be that the princess could also interfere with the dragon's existence? The possibility exists!
"Herman!"
Akno shouted at his colleague who appeared in the form of a blood clot.
"Yes, I will return to my body !!"
Akno nodded at Herman's notice before the clot vanished, eroded by empty air and at the same time Akno's thick bone armor collapsed from his body.
Without Herman, Akno unable to move the thick and heavy armor alone. But the situation in front of him could not be ignored. That creature is an existence that threatens the continuity of mankind. Immediately Akno ran to attack the horse in front of him with a loud cry.
Simultaneously with the steps that Akno took, the other fighters immediately activated their gifts.
Pito with his floating book immediately attacked Mephisto's consciousness through the waves he shot. Then Daisy and Ron immediately jumped and slid towards the dragon which was continuously shooting the bluish-green black light.
Also, dozens of roots immediately sprouted from the ground.
However, their opponent was the devil.
The wave that Pito fired hit Mephisto's head hard, and it made Mephisto's head jerk as if it had been hit by a projectile. But that wasn't enough, the demon immediately returned to his senses and deftly jumped several meters into the air and caught the legs of the two fighters who were about to attack the dragon.
Immediately Dekker's living roots provided help to the two fighters, but the roots that were spreading rapidly were immediately blown away by Mephisto with one leg which caused a strong wind pressure.
"You guys, I WILL NOT LET YOU DISTURB THE DRAGONS !!"
Shouts Mephistopheles pitched simultaneously with tossed the combatants that he caught his foot in the direction of the castle.
WOOSH !!
Then right after he threw the two fighters, while he was floating in the air he crossed his arms forming a symbol with his fingers.
The symbol he forms bends his little finger and middle finger, together with the thumb pressing down on them. Leave the other two fingers open straight out.
On the other hand, Akno, who was about to fly his fist, was immediately hit by the horse's foreleg. But it didn't end there. With the body of a horse, the demon Barbatos beat Akno up with his two legs, and with the last beat, he threw Akno into the thick walls of Batavia Castle.
Brugh !!
Akno's eyes were still open, his enthusiasm was still not lost. But soon he realized that the other four fighters had been paralyzed on the same wall. They clung without being able to move the slightest as if pushed by an invisible pressure.
"Akno, ... get out of the way!"
With great difficulty, Dekker told Akno who immediately responded. However it was too late, soon the same pressure pressed Akno against the wall with multiple strengths, rendering him immobile even though he had more power than the other six fighters.
§
On the side of the forest, Herman, whose consciousness has returned to his body. He opened his eyes immediately, but his eyes were still hazy.
The sound of streaking light could still be heard in his ears, like a hurricane rushing by.
Then slowly his vision began to return to normal, and at that time he realized that his current place was actually still not too far from the location of the battle with the two demons.
"Ms. Lily !! Aaah no, Ms. Lily !! "
The pieces of the trees still left the embers inside the wood along with the bluish-green black light that continued to be shot. Then, just as he turned his gaze to the target of the shot, with Anna's worried cry, Herman's expression suddenly changed. Hurriedly he got up to the figure of the woman he loved.
"Lily !!"
