There is no end to attacking their four snipes. They were out of breath. But there is no end to the depletion of the number of their opponents.
Only now do they know that when they kill one there are two in exchange for snipe. So they can do nothing but think of a way to defeat their opponent.
Losa could already feel the weakness of her body. Of the four of them, she was the most targeted. Raven, Itima, and Giant can't help her because they are also being attacked by squirrels.
"This is just a trap of Gurodo! He is deceiving us, these are not our real enemies! " Raven suddenly shouted at Losa, Itima, and Giant at the same time.
The three stopped fighting and went to Raven's place.
"What do you mean?" Losa asked as she approached the man.
The squirrels stopped to start. It also seems to feel like their next plan.
Raven rolled his eyes around. A strong wind was blowing in their place. He immediately made his comrades lie down. He can't be wrong. That was one of Gurodo's powers.
"Just stay on your knees. . . Gurodo is already taking a step. He seems to know that we already know that he is just deceiving us, " he said.
Itima acted. She stood up and spread her wings. She will not let Gurodo succeed. She would do everything she knew about Gurodo, just to get the diamond so they could go to the other forest — where Mother Tree was leading.
"Itima, what are you going to do?" Losa asked her.
She turned to the dear princess and fluttered her wings loudly. The wind seems to be calling to create a big, strong whirlwind.
The wind blew hard until it gradually became stronger. The leaves of the trees danced. A large and powerful whirlwind swept away Gurodo's servants.
Meanwhile, Losa and Raven are holding both of Giant's hands while lying down so that they will not be blown away by the wind.
Itima's eyes glazed over with annoyance as she stared at the squirrels that were getting into her whirlwind. They are inexhaustible. The number increases even more.
Then a loud laugh stopped her from whining. The wind seemed to be scared by that laugh so the air just disappeared.
"Lie down, Itima! Gurodo is just playing with us! " Raven shouted at the female creature.
She lay down at the same time as a strong wind blew.
Another laugh followed. Gurodo seems to be playing with them all. He is not fair to fight. It will not be easy for them to get a diamond key here. They will take a long time to fight, that is not possible. . . they should beat him immediately as soon as possible.
A large snipe appeared to them in the air. Their eyes all widened when they saw Gurodo's true form.
His back wings are very large while the nails on his hand are sharp. The foot is a foot of the snipe, his whole body is hairy but the face is not. Another very handsome of it while possessing a yellow with black eyes.
"Daring! Who are you to enter my home ?! " his eyes glazed over at them.
Itima stood up. "We are here to get the diamond key so we can get to Avandro's kingdom!"
He smiled when he heard what Itima said. But his eyes are on Losa.
"I will give it to you if you also give me what I want," he said with a big grin.
Losa and Raven stood up when Giant released them.
"What do you mean?" Raven asked.
He waved his hands and showed them the diamond key that they wanted to get.
"This diamond is yours if you give me Raven Girl," he whispered.
Raven immediately moved and he held Losa's hand tightly. Itima stood in front to protect the dear princess. The same goes with Giant in the back.
Raven shook his head. "We will not give you the Raven Girl, Gurodo. Not even one of us is here. "
"In that case, it is clear. . . make it hard for you to get the diamond! " his angry cry, once he waved his hand and strong wind hit them.
The four of them were hit because they could not immediately escape due to that sudden attack by Gurodo.
The four of them crawled on the grass. Itima was dizzy when Gurodo's wind hit her with the weakening of a creature like her. Raven did the same, he also felt dizzy even though Giant could not stand the force of the wind that hit him.
The wind hit them hard so that they could feel such dizziness. Not only that, Gurodo had a sleeping bag in the air so that they would lose consciousness.
"You can't leave me alone," he said as he approached Losa who was unconscious.
Raven wanted to stand up to protect Losa but he couldn't. His whole body was weakening and he wanted to turn a blind eye.
His dark eyes just chased after Losa as Gurodo carried her flying above the forest.
LOSA felt as if something hard had struck her head when she awoke from a long sleep. The surroundings are very noisy — the sounds of squirrels.
What she remembers is that Gurodo attacked them, and they weakened and lost consciousness.
She opened her eyes and looked around. And she was so shocked when she was alone in the nest of a squirrel and surrounded by them, while the handsome half-squirrel creature Gurodo was staring at her! Then they were defeated and she was taken to his hiding place.
"You are awake, dear princess. I enjoyed watching while you're sleeping," he said while smiling.
Suddenly he stood up and released his power. He heard it laugh out loud. She seemed to be insulted by the way he laughed.
"Don't fight me anymore. Just follow me and everything will be fine," Gurudo laughed as he approached her.
"Why don't you just give us the diamond key? We need that key so we can talk to Avandro, we need his help! " she pleaded.
Gurudo shook his head. "No! You have to work hard to get that from me. I am the guardian of that key, and I cannot just give it to you just like that, " he replied seriously.
"The Blackerous kingdom is in danger! At any moment, the servants of Lobonia will rush. . . our kingdom will be destroyed, and the creatures that are in it will be in danger. Have mercy, Gurodo. . . "
Losa did not know where the tears flowed from her eyes. It just came out voluntarily while she was speaking. She could feel the weight of her chest as if she had long loved the Blackerous kingdom and the creatures that lived there.
Gurodo averted his eyes from her.
He stepped away from her.
Without a word, he left her there and locked her in a cage.
Losa tried to destroy it with her power but it did not break down.
"Gurodo! Let me go! " she shouted over and over but no one heard her shout.
Losa just sat in the nest and watched the squirrels there while also staring at her. She smiled bitterly. She had to think of a way to escape from this trap before Gurodo returned.
