Chapter 2 - Unknown Land

Blok seemed to calm down and told everyone, "We'd better split up." As soon as he said that, Kelly was visibly frustrated, but she said nothing and headed west with Emily. "We'll meet here before dusk," said Bakir. Everyone agreed and went their separate ways: Bakir to the east, Amin to the south, Emily and Kelly to the west, and Blok went north.

So while Blok went on his way, he only thought about what was next. Although he looked calm, all this time Blok was terrified. He knew that someone had to set an example for the others, and that if he stopped now, everyone would be too scared. During Blok's walk, he saw a group of goblins roaming the forest. Blok was careful not to make any big noises so he wouldn't be noticed, but when he looked again, he saw that the goblins had surrounded the little girl. Somehow he managed to gather his courage and started towards them, running and picking up a stick from the floor. At the moment when one of the five goblins started to hit the girl, Blok attacked the goblin. All the other goblins headed towards Blok, who somehow managed to fight off the five of them with just one stick. "Get out of here!" Blok shouted to the girl. "I'll keep them as long as possible."

"Don't kill them, they're just animals," said the girl. These words confused Blok, which is why one of the goblins managed to cut him down. Suddenly Blok started yelling: "What are you talking about? They tried to kill you until a moment ago!" The girl looked at him in confusion and said, "They just wanted some food, so I went to give them some bread and trinkets." This sentence almost mentally killed Blok, who said, "You fool , they eat only MEAT!" The girl stopped in her thoughts and said crying: "Then please forgive me for me, you are in these problems." As if the world had stopped, Blok said: "No, only apologize to the family of these beasts because they won't be on their feet much longer." Blok turned completely serious and focused on the goblins. He hit one so hard that the stick he was using broke in half. He took a sword with which he began to kill them. The girl watched in amazement as Blok slaughtered all five goblins and said in her mind, "He's amazing, I've never seen someone like that without being a knight." Everything was calm. Blok killed all the goblins and said to her, "Shall we, young lady?" At this comment, the girl was very surprised and said, "Oh, sorry, I didn't get to introduce myself. I am Elizabeth Vereiford, princess of the Realm of Reinford." Elizabeth was slightly smaller, with beautiful dark black long hair and bright red eyes. Blok said in confusion, "I'm Blok Saku, an ordinary character who likes swordsmanship."

So after the introduction, Blok and Elizabeth headed back to the place where Blok agreed with the rest of the team. But on the way, Elizabeth noticed some sort of battlefield and said confusedly, "But there shouldn't be any conflict here. Even though we're at war, they shouldn't have come all the way." To which Blok replied confusedly, "First, the war. And secondly, let's check." Elizabeth quickly answers in a race, "I'll explain later." A few moments later, Blok and Elizabeth and Blok reached the place and saw the battlefield completely in ashes. All that was left were the remains of trees and a few skeletons burned to ashes, but somehow still together. In the middle of it all was a skeleton completely intact with a strange looking sword. Although he didn't know what it was, something drew Blok to pick up that sword. As he grabbed it, the sword suddenly awakened and one dragon-like eye opened. "It's Shushu!" Elizabeth shouted, confusing Blok who asked "What?". Elizabeth began to explain, "The Shushui are creatures of darkness, full of evil. Most are in their world, but some are in ours, but sealed in weapons." That surprised Block, but in a good way, so he said, "That's so cool." Elizabeth says confused, "It's not cool, it's scary, how can you not understand that?"

"Who dares touch the great and mighty flame lord, the one and only, bringer of chaos and destruction, RADIANTE!" said Shushu, which frustrated Blok who said in a serious tone, "I'm Blok Saku. I'm the one who took you and whose appearance woke you up." Radiante replied, "Alright then kid, test your luck, try to control my power." With a smile Blok replies, "Then I will be the one to control your power." With a cheerful voice Radiante says, "Look around you, this was one man who couldn't control me, so good luck." A frightened Elizabeth tells Block, "That's no ordinary Shushu. I once read something about a Shushu called Radiante. He's one of 3 special types of Shushu. No one in history has been able to control him. His power once successfully burned off the face of the Earth one of the largest islands in the world (this island is on average twice the size of Greenland, the largest island in our world). And what's worse, they say it's only a small part of its power."

She said that for nothing when Blok had already merged his soul with Radiante's and said, "Then it better not get out of my control." So, all calm, he continued to the agreed place and the still frightened Elizabeth followed him. Finally, at dusk, Blok arrived, followed shortly by Bakir and Amin, who were confused about Elizabeth, but Blok explained it very quickly. At the very end, Emily and Kelly arrived, but they were on some carriages.

"Guys, this is our friend Muniki. He is the leader of a village nearby and he would like to take us to his village on the condition that we help him find a girl." Old Muniki jumped off his horse and said, "Well, that's no problem, there it is." Blok grew serious and prepared to attack, but Elizabeth stopped him and said, "Relax, he's the leader of a small village down the hill. I came to visit him, but you know the reason I didn't come." Muniki looked at Blok, ready to attack, and said, "What's the reason?" To which Blok replied, "Goblins, but that's settled."

And with that introduction, our heroes headed for the village and all was peaceful, until Muniki asked for Radiante, to which Blok replied, "That Shushu and I are already partners." That was not the answer Muniki was expecting. "Well then, that means I'll have to kill you." The carriages stopped and everyone froze in fear, except Blok. "What's going on? I can't move," Amin said, to which Bakir added, "Me neither." It was the powerful aura of Munikia who threw the knife at Blok, who disappeared. He managed to walk completely unnoticed in front of the chariot and pulled Radiante out, whereupon he was confused and said, "What is this? This sword is completely dull and as if it were made of ash." At that, a big laugh came from Munikio, "You fool, don't you know that you need a special activation of the weapon itself with such an elite Shushui?"

Although this annoyed Blok, he just returned the Radiante and said, "Then I'll still use this for now." He pulled out a goblin knife and charged, only to be stopped by a dark figure dressed in black with a straw hat and wielding a katana. "It's not going to work, at least not that easily," Municki said. "Even if I am old, my magic is still very powerful. After all, this is a legendary magic called RONIN."
