The journey has become more colorful for Kaja, now he has a traveling companion. Kaja and Bagas continue their journey, along the way they always help anyone who needs help, and they are ready to help anyone while heading to the central capital to register as a member of AFLIF.
"Kaja, what is the real purpose of being a member of Aflif," Bagas twisted his wand and his wand turned short and then placed on his back. His wand can indeed change shape according to Bagas's wishes.
"I will defeat Lord Master and lead Aflif."
Kaja spoke casually while still facing forward while continuing to walk. They had just moved quickly by jumping from tree branch to tree branch until they reached a clearing and in front of them was a residential area.
They went down to walk on the ground, already close to the settlement.
Bagas was surprised and stopped for a moment and looked at Kaja who was still walking in front of him. Bagas shook his head, he thought the young man who was his traveling companion was too optimistic. Defeat Lord Master? An ideal that is like turning the world upside down, Bagas thought.
Before they could continue their conversation, suddenly.
"Help! help!"
They looked at each other and ran as fast as they could in the direction of the voice. A 10-year-old little boy ran fast towards them. He kept running and occasionally fell, but soon got back up. However, Kaja and Bagas were immediately shocked to see a figure flying in the sky and chasing the boy.
The flying figure looks like a human at a glance but has wings that are curved like a bat.
The bat figure got closer to the boy, the boy fell again. He looked at the bat that had started to approach from the sky and charged at it swiftly. However, Bagas' stick hit him first.
Bugg!
The batman bounced and swayed in the air. He was startled and his eyes flashed red, angry at the two people who were already standing behind the boy he was chasing.
The bat figure growled while moving its head. He lunged again, and Bagas immediately took control of his wand and spun around, stomping his feet on the ground. Kaja just watched and helped the boy to his feet, "You are safe now."
Bagas flew and greeted batman who was as big as a human. They met the two of them fighting in the air about five meters from the ground. The wings of the brown batman who wore armor covering his chest flew to attack Bagas, his hands which were full of sharp claws also tried to tear Bagas' body.
The attack doesn't hit, Bagas can dodge easily.
Batman lost the figure of Bagas, in fact Bagas was already above him. The batman looked up and the impact of the stick with great force had already hit his armored back.
Batman fell to the ground, the impact was so strong that he was injured.
Bagas fell to the ground, the batman was injured but still standing strong. His eyes reddened again, he was about to attack Bagas again. However, he closed his eyes for a moment like something was up. Then, his wings fluttered and he flew upwards. He then flew away from Bagas and Kaja. It's as if he didn't chase it, he just wondered what kind of creature it was, his attack didn't have too much impact on the bat's figure.
Bagas approached Kaja who had treated the boy's wound on his leg. Kaja treats with a kind of powdered spice that has been made previously. He always kept some external wound medicine in his bag, and during his breaks, he concocted efficacious external medicine.
"Thank you, Big Brothers," The boy was relieved, and his breathing began to return to normal.
"What was that creature actually?" Bagas immediately asked the boy.
The boy also explained that for the past few months, humans like bats have appeared, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing. The creature sometimes attacks humans and takes them flying, either alive or dead. I don't know where the humans took him.
The boy's name is Nata, he is fetching water from a water source near his village. But suddenly, batman appeared and was about to attack him. The creature is known as Kalueng. Several places in the nearby town and several surrounding villages are now haunted by it. However, the appearance of Kalueng cannot be predicted. They appear sometimes once a month and sometimes indefinitely and appear to attack humans.
Nata said that several people who were capable of self-defense had been mobilized, and even Aflif had come. But sometimes, the appearance of the batmen is unpredictable. Kaja and Bagas are getting confused. What kind of creature are Kaluengs they are causing trouble everywhere.
Bagas and Kaja took the boy to the village and returned to his house.
***
A handsome young man with a coil on his head that wraps around his hair. He was seen practicing by the river. The young man had clean skin and a shining face, around the flowing river water he moved his hands, the water in front of him rippled in waves.
The handsome young man named Jiro, the waves of the overflowing water rose up in front of him, towering up and up to a height of 10 meters. Then the water tapers upwards, rolls down the pointed part and suddenly, the young man stomps his hands as if to guide the movement of the water.
The pointy part of the water plunged hard onto the surface of the water, and the crash of the water against the water created a tremendous impact wave of energy.
Brusshhh! And…, the atmosphere is calm again.
Jiro wiped his sweat with a handkerchief wrapped between his belt. Her clothes look neat and full of dazzling dressing. The young man could be said to be a diligent young man from his appearance and perfect charisma. Until, if a woman sees it for the first time, maybe she will be tempted at first sight.
Jiro then sat on the rocks by the river. Self-calming his strength, he had already prepared firewood in front of him and formed a pile of wood as if to start a fire on him.
Jiro's right hand waved slowly towards the wood, suddenly a small flame appeared and crushed the pile of wood he had prepared. The flames grew bigger and Jiro took some of the fish he had caught earlier, the fish had also been stabbed with the wood he had prepared.
Jiro grilled the fish and placed it between the hooks around the blazing fire.
Jiro then thought that his firepower wasn't perfect yet, couldn't make any big moves and energy. However, he had already made progress from all his training so far.
As for the power of the water, he already felt he could master it well.
Yes, Jiro came from the Arahant Nation which was famous for being a clan that had a high place in the martial world. Unfortunately, a Landing Clan or Nation suddenly perished at an event.
The Arahants are famous for their special ability, the Quadra, which is able to control the power of the elements of life. And among the greatest in the Arahant Nation when they are able to master all elements of life and unite them. Those elements are; Fire, Water, Air, and Earth.
The four elements are the essence of life.
Jiro is only able to master two quadra powers, namely Water and Fire. However, his fire control power is still in the development stage. As for the water element, he has mastered it well, although not yet perfect.
Jiro is the only Land of the Land left. Yes, ten years ago, the Arahan Nation was wiped out and everyone knew about it because there was the annihilation of the Arahant Nation by a group of people.
That night, the Arahant Nation perished. And, Jiro is the only survivor.
Jiro clenched his right fist. He thought and was angry, already getting closer to Sarkus, the one person he could find to uncover the death of his entire Nation. He was getting closer to Sarkus who he had been investigating for a very long time. Jiro looked angry in his calm, there was a line on his face that was a sign of agitation.
In a moment, I'll find him. Wait for Sarkus! There was water energy surrounding Jiro's fist. His life is only to take revenge for all his clans that were destroyed, including his parents.
