Behind the steady chatter of prince Edwin and Jerry, there was someone who had listened to their conversations from beginning to end. She's smiling sarcastically there.
"Interesting game," he thought.
***
The final match between Jerry and Prince Ken is coming up soon. The crowd has filled the bleachers. Ichiro and jirou represent a tense audience.
This fight is one they can't predict. Both fighters possess extraordinary abilities. The opponents they faced before also lost because they didn't give up. Instead, dead.
"Is it my guess?" prince Ken inner.
After watching jerry's final game, Prince Ken had a lot to think about. Ranging from Jerry's striking aura to the spiritual force that Jerry gave out at the time. Those things made Prince Ken curious.
Prince Ken sees Jerry is ready with his fighting gear. Jerry's self-confidence is clearly seen in his entering the fight arena.
"You may send your message to your opponent before the game starts," said the jury before Jerry and Prince Ken.
Jerry took his foot towards Prince Ken. On the outside, he looks very confident and has no fear. In fact, his heart's been beating like crazy because this might be his last fight.
"You're a pretty good opponent, Jerry," praises prince Ken with a friendly smile as usual.
"Thank you, prince. Prince Ken al-"
"You fool!" said prince Ken with a serious face. Jerry snapped at his words. "You should think before entering a region. If you take the wrong step, you'll get lost in a region full of wild beasts," he continued.
Prince Ken left Jerry speechless. "What's that supposed to mean?" Jerry's inner self-consciousness filled his feelings with anxiety.
Prince Ken smiled with satisfaction at the expression on Jerry's face. - yupz! Prince Ken is a very articulate man. However, that's the cleverness he USES to play his opponent. Of course, Jerry was not the only victim of his long tongue, but his previous opponents as well.
Jerry didn't say anything anymore. The jury told them to take their distance. After that, the match begins.
SPRING!
The sound of a sword being pulled from its sheath would have pierced the ears of the audience. The fighters looked at each other like lions ready to fight over their prey.
In Jerry's mind, something slipped.
"You're right! I never thought that I would enter the realm of the beast."
"I could have died in that region."
"But..."
Prince Ken and Jerry Shouting, attacking, blocking. Their hands were so quick with the sword that the audience closed their eyes. Even repeated body movements can shock the audience.
"...now I am a ferocious beast."
"...that very hungry."
Lingering at each other, the two of them end up distancing themselves. Breath control, muscles relax, and strategy.
Prince Ken, breathing heavily, gave Jerry a hard look. "What are you thinking, idiot?" he thought.
Prince Ken and Jerry returned shouting and waving their swords at their opponent's body.
SRING!
SRING!
SRING!
Prince Ken held back a sword that almost pierced him. "You will never know how powerful the king is," prince Ken whispered.
Prince Ken's words made Jerry suddenly lose focus. Prince Ken wouldn't want to waste his chance either. He flung his jerry sword far off.
Jerry was shocked. "Am I going to die?"
The prince smiled happily at Jerry's sword shooting far off. Now it was easy for him to cut off Jerry's head. Jerry collapsed as prince Ken walked up to him.
"Any last words?" prince Ken said as he drew closer to Jerry. He thought about what he thought before. If what he thinks is true, then Jerry won't die easily today. Based on his observations about Jerry, was he really the reincarnation of geoff?
Geoff is no ordinary leader. He was also a knight who participated in every war that took place at horathomi. His profession was that the head chef was known for his skills with kitchen knives. The criteria made prince Ken believe that Jerry was the reincarnation of geoff.
"Sing sapa gelem nglakoni kebecikan lan uga gelem lelaku, ing tembe bakal tampa kanugrahaning Pangeran," (Anyone who does good, tries hard, and truly will receive a gift from god) Said jerry, raising his head to prince Ken who was standing in front of him.
Prince Ken still smiled even though he didn't know what jerry's words meant. Victory is at hand. Time to get some answers to his questions.
SRING!
Prince Ken pulled a sword from his sheath. Throw a confident look at Jerry. He started swinging the sword, and then...
JLEBBB!
The whole audience stood to see clearly. They open their doors and some faint from witnessing a tragic death. Prince Ken's mouth is bleeding fresh.
"Uh!" Prince Ken held his aching heart.
Bruk!
Jerry approached Prince Ken. He freaked out to see prince Ken dying. Really, he didn't do anything. It all went so fast, he didn't even realize what had happened.
Jerry was ranting about Prince Ken's name to stay awake.
"Akh!" Prince Ken can't utter a word. He felt no more oxygen could enter his lungs, felt extremely claustrophobic.
The blood only came out of prince Ken's mouth. Jerry's getting confused. It was very quiet. Only the sound of prince Ken's breath left.
"Prince, I'm sorry," said jerry down next to prince Ken's body. Prince Ken closed his eyes until his last breath.
Jerry was crying. Her tears began to run down her cheeks. For some reason he felt so sad that he did. The tears on his cheeks were streaming down his cheeks. He put his head on top of prince Ken's body, then wept.
The king and queen stood up and bowed their heads in honor of prince Ken. The audience lowered and prayed for his departure. Prince Ken's knighthood in horathomi cannot be forgotten. Many enemies have fallen because of prince Ken's bravery and agility in the use of the sword. Prince Ken deserves that final tribute.
"Farewell, our knights," murmured ichiro and jirou who also bowed their heads with sadness.
Moments later, jerry lifted his head and wiped the trail of tears on his cheeks. He stood up and walked slowly leaving prince Ken's body. Grief hurt him deeply. Suddenly, however, an unexpected turn of events took place. Jerry looked over at prince Ken.
Suddenly a blinding light came from prince Ken's body. Jerry and everyone there closed their eyes with their hands.
"Wha - what?" wonder jerry was still covering his eyes with his arms.
