Kieeekkk! Kieeekkk!
The voices of the Kaluengs who are still about half left still leave horror, their sharp teeth and sharp claws make anyone who looks at them tremble. However, the Swordsmen persisted and tried their best to face the Kaluengs, however, there were also a few among them who left the battlefield for fear of death. They prefer to save themselves.
Kaja kept urging the Kaluengs, Kalueng didn't move, when they started to attack Kaja. Kaja had already landed his long sword.
Bugs! Blaam!
Kalueng seemed to be bouncing here and there. Kaja approached Bagas who was also busy swinging his magic wand, Bagas' movement was also directed, and immediately kicked the Kalueng.
"Bagas, I need your help," Bagas turned his back on Bagas while waving his sword, Kalueng also bounced.
"What's that?" Bagas began to subside his attacks, no Kalueng had approached yet.
"Protect Jiro until he gets close to the Witch who controls the Kaluengs."
"Then, how about this many Kalueng?"
"Leave it to me. Just do it when I give you the cue," Kaja crossed his two swords.
Bagas didn't know what Kaja was planning, but he seemed to have to follow his words because the Keluengs were controlled by a magician named Sarkus at the far end, in front of the hill who kept smiling horribly while moving his wand.
Kaja jumped into the middle of the battle. Kaja closed his eyes for a moment, he tried to feel all the movements of the Kelueng. It's like curing someone's illness and identifying it, Kaja spreads his energy aura throughout the battle. This thin energy detects which direction the Kaluengs are moving, thousands of Kaluengs. Kaja got all the positions of the Kelueng.
In the corner of the white room, Kaja stared at Groot.
'Groot, lend me your power." And, Groot smiled at him through his mouth that was unraveling with Wood fibers.
Wuussh! Wuusshh! Kratak!
The wind howled suddenly, and cracks in the ground suddenly appeared. Roots out of nowhere appeared and poked upward the size of an adult's arm, some were small, and some were bigger too.
Kaja plunged his left sword into the ground, and a torrent of dust exploded around him.
Boom!
Roots sprang up all over the place in the battle. Many Swordsmen wondered where the roots came from, did any of them have the power of mastering the power of wood?
The fibrous roots kept popping up, poking up, catching the Kalueng. Trapped Kalueng's body, legs, and head and trapped them. Kaja continued to concentrate on uniting her power with Groot and felt every presence of the Kaluengs.
Sarkus on the other end saw this, he was shocked. What kind of power is that? Sarkus just realized, that among the Swordsmen there were those who possessed such strong energy, at least it could be said to be equivalent to the division head. Yes, the Division Head he always followed.
Sarkus understands very well, that there are 7 Divisions, and each division has a chairman. And, he was the right-hand man of one of the Divisions. The person who possessed this power at least wasn't weaker than one of the division chiefs he always accompanied.
It's good to see that so many tendrils of roots have ensnared the Kaluengs. Bagas immediately understood, this is the cue. He flew and jumped at Jiro.
"Jiro, this is your chance!"
Jiro immediately realized the situation, he nodded and immediately shot toward Sarkus. Jiro easily sped away, even though there were one or two Kalueng who still managed to escape the trap of Kaja's move, but Jiro was also able to overcome it and hit Kalueng who was still blocking him.
In fact, not all Kalueng were caught by Kaja's roots, many escaped because there were thousands of them so Kaja could not ensnare them all. That's why Bagas was asked to protect Bagas to reach the wizard Sarkus.
Bagas was next to Jiro who was darting, the Kaluengs who tried to block the dozens of them were pushed with Bagas' sticks, the Keluengs were bouncing here and there, and they continued to fly flying while hitting the Kaluengs who were blocking them.
Jiro focused on fully attacking Sarkus and Bagas protecting him from the Kaluengs who were about to attack Jiro. They lunged between the roots that also appeared around them, the vine roots helped them and grabbed the Keluengs, Bagas swerved between the roots that trapped Kalueng and hit Kalueng who were still flying around them.
"I leave that bastard to you Jiro!"
Jiro nodded. Jiro darted back, Sarkus sensed that the young man was getting closer to him. Jiro flew towards Sarkus, their eyes met, Jiro's eyes were full of gloom.
Sarkus cupped his hands on his wand together, the remaining Kalueng immediately aimed at him and blocked Jiro quickly, and sped off. It's good to know that, that's his job. He also increased the size of his wand and slashed his wand rapidly, the energy was so great that it swept through the dozens of Kaluengs and hit them. But for that, Bagas expended a lot of energy so it was quite a drain.
Jiro didn't waste that opportunity, he got closer to Sarkus, maybe only 10 meters away. There are two Kalueng left. Jiro immediately threw his water punch and swerved to hit the remaining two Kalueng. He spun in the air and immediately saw Sarkus, their eyes met. Jiro swung once again the fire attack now mingled with the immense power of his water.
Brusshhh!
Fire and water rolled, and although the fire was smaller the fusion of the two elements twisted and twisted creating huge waves. Sarkus blocked it with his wand and there was a loud crash.
Klang!
Sarkus bounced back and hit a rock cliff, while his wand cracked and shattered. The diamond shard in the middle of the stick shot up. Jiro caught the red sparkling diamond with the power of his water to keep it from falling. The water scroll was created like water and became the base for the diamond and brought it closer to Jiro. Jiro was holding the red diamond.
wush!
Is everything over? It was as if the battle had become silent and as if it was lonely. The Swordsmen looked very tired and finally, their bodies melted, some sat down and some immediately recovered their strength. Kaja released his energy, and the vines of roots that soared into the sky instantly faded away like dust that was blown away by the wind.
Even the Kaluengs who were snared by Jiro seemed to have no power, they seemed weak and there was no strength left.
Kaja was exhausted, he immediately recovered himself by sitting down for a while and removing two of his swords.
Is it over? Kaja put both hands on his chest and tried to recover the energy that was pretty much drained.
Near the evidence there, Jiro and Bagas fell to the ground and looked at Sarkus who was bowed and there were marks of impact on the stone wall.
"Is it over?" It's like mumbling.
"I don't know," Jiro answered flatly while looking at Sarkus who had not moved.
Jiro stepped slowly towards Sarkus, all the swordsmen were now looking at Jiro who was approaching Sarkus. There are those among them who know who Sarkus is, a person who is good at manipulating energy, although he is not a great fighter he is famous as a soul controller and mental destroyer. Rumors circulating, that he is a member of Black Secret, and even then only rumors.
"He…. he…. hee…."
Sarkus' figure chuckled, despite the blood dripping from his lips. He hadn't raised his head yet, but he was chuckling once more.
Jiro immediately stopped his steps and immediately retreated quickly, He knew very well how dangerous the Sarkus had been after all this time.
"Back off!" Jiro shouted and flew backward with a thud.
Before the swordsmen were astonished, the rock behind Sarkus opened a secret door, the stone crevice opened and the large tunnel behind it opened just like a gate that had been covered with stone doors.
Drrrtttt! Behind Sarkus was a terrifying sight.
All eyes couldn't take their eyes off of what they saw behind Sarkus who was still giggling.
