The mother and daughter froze with deathly pale faces.
"N-no!" The aunt hugged her daughter while crying. "I will definitely repay my debt but I will not hand my daughter over to you." Tears fell from his eyes as if it was a very heavy rain but the man didn't care. He Pulled the girl from her mother's arms, he said "I'm sick of hearing all your excuses. I've given you a lot of time and today is the last day!"
"No! Let go of my daughter!!"
"Mother!"
Using all her strength, the mother tried to defend her daughter but the man threw her against the wall mercilessly.
"Mother!!!!" shouted the girl hysterically
Niin spontaneously stood up and ran after the aunt but because she couldn't hold the aunt, Niin was dragged and finally hit the wall, at the same time Naara who was drinking suddenly spit out the water he wanted to gulp, seemed as if he had just received a hard hit on his back.
Not paying attention to herself, Niin, who fell to the floor shortly after hitting the wall. immediately help the aunt to stand up
"Hah. Just annoying!" The fierce man began to drag the girl out by force and the situation became dramatic when the mother with her frail body tried to free her daughter from the lecherous man's grip. There was a tug-of-war between the two of them. Niin also helped. She took the bowl and hit the man's head from behind but the shocking thing happened, the man's head was not injured at all, not even a scratch. As a result, Niin got a sharp glances from the man's eyes and a second later she was thrown against the wall like a helpless cat and at the same time Naara again showed the attitude of someone who had just been hit on his back.
Niin knelt down and fell to the ground, she felt an intense pain run down her spine. Grinning in pain, her ears were still listening to all the commotion.
"Let her go!!" Screams mixed with tears were suffocating.
"Get out of the way you old woman! After she serves me tonight, I will return her to you and I consider all your debts paid off."
"Mother!!!"
"Alma!!"
Niin's hands clenched into fists, she felt like she really wanted to hit the man's face. With a trembling body she tried to stand up and then intended to return to help free the girl named Alma but suddenly someone hook the back of her shirt so she jerked back slightly.
"Ma-Master…? I–"
"Don't interfere. Let's go!" Naara turned his foot towards the exit and Naara's behavior made Niin scream in annoyance. She says that Naara is a heartless person, she likens Naara's heart to a heartless stone, she also questions Naara's humanity, but all that doesn't make Naara move to help, he wants to go anyway.
On the other hand, the fierce man was silent for a moment watching the two of them.
Niin's eyes stared intently at Naara and his teeth chattered. In annoyance he said, "Stop or—" He was cut short when Naara turned his head and showing terrible eyes. the same eyes that Niin saw yesterday.

*Yesterday
After finding Naarabo, Niin returned to meet Naara who was waiting for her angrily. Naara's skin looked like boiled shrimp that was still hot, where a thin steam could be seen escaping from it while his white eyes looked as sharp as a sword that had just been sharpened.
Seeing that, Niin gulped. As he was still contemplating what was to come, his eyes widened as a sword was tossed and shot an inch from above her head then stuck into a tree trunk not far behind her.
A cracking sound infiltrated from the tree sounded right after the sword was stuck. With a stiff head she turned and at the same time an explosion occurred, half of the tree shattered into pieces and bounced in all directions.
After the effects of the explosion subsided, she who was covering her face between the folds of her hands was startled by the scene in front of her.
"Think of the first part as your body and the crushed part as your head. If you lose it again or threaten me with the doll, you will suffer the same fate as the tree," Naara warned.

Currently.
Without being able to say a word, Niin can only be silent. the look in her once fiery eyes slowly dimming. She turned his back on Naara.
"Then we split up here since I can't leave them." she said, looking down sadly at her feet.
"Hoh. What can you do?" Naara sarcastically.
For a moment Niin's gaze seemed to be getting sadder but finally she lifted her head and replaced her sad look with a determined look after that she said, "I don't know but I don't want to be silent. Maybe you have never felt the pain of losing the one you love, so you don't care."
Immediately Naara felt a part of his heart had been slapped. A glimpse of a boy and a woman being seriously injured flashed across his mind, unconsciously he was lost in thought until he didn't hear the commotion of the four people in the room.
... maybe you have never felt the pain of losing the one you love.
Niin's words echoed in his head. "Tch, annoying girl. Why... why ... remember again ?" He lowered his head, his face showing a faint sadness.
PRAANG!
The sound of a plate breaking interrupted his thoughts.
"If I look around, it turns out that you are beautiful too, how about you come too, will you?" said the man, strangled Niin lifted the girl's body as high as possible
"T-Tsk!" Niin clenched her fists. "I-I...too good for a lowly class like you!!!" One hard hit landed in the man's eyes.
"Argh... damn girl!" Furious, the bastard threw Niin with all his might.
When thrown, Niin could only close her eyes, preparing to accept the excruciating pain she would receive when she hit the wall but instead of crashing into the wall, she ended up in someone's arms.
"Master?"
"Hah. Don't get me wrong, I did it because of Naarabo," said Naara while lowering Niin from his arms.
Even though Naara said that, Niin was still happy and grateful to have been helped.
"You'd better stay out of it. Take your girl and get out of here!"
"Yo-your girl ...." Instantly Niin's face turned red.
"Dcak. Actually I don't want to interfere either." Naara walked to aunty who was sitting on the floor and gave a helping hand. "But you've made my back hurt, so I changed my mind," he added, pulling the aunt to her feet. Of course, those words greatly confused the man with the earring on his nose.
He didn't remember doing anything to the man who was still hiding his face under the hood of the robe. Meanwhile, Niin who had been stunned from confusion, suddenly became tense as his brain began to understand Naara's intentions. Naarabo, the doll is in the little backpack she wears. He imagined that when she was thrown and hit the wall, Na-Naarabo ... oh gosh ... Naarabo hit the wall and Naara must have felt the pain from the impact
"So what do you want? Hit me?" cynical nosed man whose name is still withheld by the author.
"Of course."
Hearing Naara's answer, he chuckled and praised Naara's courage. While Naara himself smiled sarcastically behind his hood and surprisingly he was already in front of the jerk while throwing a kick that focused on the opponent's stomach. As a result, the bastard bounced off the wall.
Alma, who was confused by the sudden occurrence for a moment, can only be silent. She only realized when the rough man's grip slipped from her hand until the man was finally thrown.
"Alma!" The sound of her mother running towards her woke her up. They hug each other emotionally while Naara walks towards the big hole in the wall. Niin, who was curious about the bastard's condition, chased after him.
"Looks like I overdid it," said Naara while standing on the threshold of the pit.
"Tsk." Slowly the man began to rise and straighten himself. He gave another evil grin. "It turns out that you are not a random person, it is only natural that you have confidence."
"Hmm." Naara smiled sarcastically behind his hood.
With a happy expression on his face, the man said, "This is good. I haven't competed in a long time."
"Hmm." Naara smiled sarcastically behind his hood.
"Let's have fun." The driver emitted quite a frightening aura from his body.
Niin's face looked surprised as he felt an unusual qiwer radiance on the extremely burly man standing three meters in front of him. "Master, be careful. Don't underestimate him," she said.
"You don't have to teach me, just make sure Naarabo is safe."
The two men were now standing opposite each other while Niin, Alma and his mother watched from afar.
"That man is Dangcaw," Alma's mother spoke up.
"Dangcaw...?" Niin looked confused. Alma mother explained that Dangcaw was a member of the Animan group, a group that had been looting their village for three years.
"Animan...?"
"They are a group of criminals led by two people who have special abilities like animals, Dangcaw himself has the ability of a cow and the other is a Dzi, he has the ability of a horse," this time Alma explained. Niin looked still confused but when she wanted to ask again, her attention was focused on Dangcaw who had just attack and started a physical fight with Naara.
"Pray to your god that you are safe," said Dangcaw as he released his fists and kicks.
Hearing that, Naara just smiled sinisterly behind his hood while dodging every punch of his opponent.
"Why master only dodge?" Niin thought, noticing Naara who was only dodging attacks and not putting up any resistance. Besides that...her attention was also turned to the residents who were seen watching Naara and Dangcaw's fight secretly, they were scattered in various places. Some of them are seen hiding behind walls, trees and some peeking out of their windows.
Alma says they all are afraid of Animan. The Animan not only robbed their property but also did not hesitate to rape the girls and kill anyone who opposed them. Alma looked very sad as she spoke.
Naara was dragged back a few meters when Dangcaw managed to pass a kick that hit his stomach.
"You dance like an insect," sarcastically Dang ran and lunged at Naara with a fist aimed at Naara's face but Naara had anticipated it.
Naara dodged by shifting slightly to the left and punched Dang in the stomach. A fierce battle ensued between them. Naara who had just dodged and defended began to attack.
"Show me your true strength," said Dang while hitting and dodging.
"Then I can't."
"Then I'll force you!" Dang increased his attack speed causing Naara to be dragged back slowly.
"Will he be okay?" Alma looked worriedly at Naara.
Niin who heard it reassured Alma that Naara was stronger than Dangcaw and those words made Alma and her mother look startled because they had never seen anyone stronger than Dangcaw and one other Animan leader.
"Stop playing and show me!" Dang urged to continue increasing his speed.
"Okay, I'll use seven to cheer you up." Naara's speed also increased, causing Dang to fall backwards and start having trouble chasing him until he finally opened a gap in Dang's defense and took advantage of it. He grabbed Dang's shirt and slammed him with all his might.
"Ahk" Pain spread on the Dang's bones and blood spurted out of his nose but it wasn't finished yet, a fist hit his chin as soon as he stood up making his body bonce into the air and once again the attack swiftly hit his stomach, making him thrown far away until it hit the pillar of the building
Dang's fell to the ground. All the residents who witnessed this were amazed by the man who was still hiding his face.
"Shit!. With a trembling body, Dang woke up again and glared at Naara but in his heart he wondered who exactly the person he was fighting was. He could feel the man's powerful aura.
While he was deep in thought, he saw Naara turn and walk away from him.
"Where are you going?!!" he shouted stopping Naara's steps.
"This fight is boring, you are no match for me," said Naara without turning his head.
"What do you mean?" Dang clenched his fists, he felt very belittled. "Alright, then I'll show you my true strength."
"...."
Slowly Dang's body let out a thin puff of smoke and at the same time several parts of his body changed shape.
His muscles expanded, while his face slowly lengthened and began to resemble the face of a caw. Two horns began to appear on his head and a tail appeared behind him.
