ADJOINING REALM
EXPERIENCE

Darto kept trying at all costs, he shot every corner of the centipede that was chasing him. Unfortunately, the shell that enveloped his body was really very hard beyond Darto's expectations. Every arrow that touched the shell just slipped and changed direction, and every arrow that went straight only bounced when it touched his body.

Darto was so tired of continuing to change direction without pause. Banging after thump was heard in all directions where Darto had moved. In one second could be heard five booms from five different places, what a battle that could not be embraced using reason. They move at an invisible speed, without rest and without pause.

Darto's breathing began to wail, he began to run out of oxygen because he continued to move at an incredible speed, he was eager to stop even just one second to sigh, he just wanted to sigh, but his opponent never gave him a chance at all.

The centipede figure still continues to pursue wherever Darto moved. He had no face, so Darto couldn't figure it out at all. Darto did not know whether his opponent was exhausted, or still full of energy, because his opponent had absolutely no expression in his head.

The Darto movement began to slow down, he was already bathed in sweat that filled all sides of his face. His clothes were drenched with eyes that began to lose focus when staring at his opponent.

In a sense of indecision, he came up with an idea that might land a fatal attack on his opponent. Darto quit his escape, he was in the middle of a sudden pursuit, until the figure of a centipede drove at high speed, passing Darto because the rapid movement of him could not be stopped like Darto moved.

The centipede laughed seeing Darto stop, he approached with a slow and careful step. He still remained vigilant despite seeing Darto exhausted, because he was not as stupid as all the opponents Darto had fought. He continued to chuckle while creeping slowly, in his movement he always put up a standby position because he saw Darto who did nothing. Precisely because Darto did nothing, the centipede knew that Darto was planning something.

"You tired of humans? You actually defeated my best friend with just that power?" Said the centipede as it continued to approach.

Darto did not answer, he just kept sighing while closing his eyes, he ignored whatever the centipede said, and focused on recovering his breath. After his breathing stabilized enough, Darto opened his eyes again saying "You're scared, right? Why not just go forward? What can you do if you keep turning like that?"

"I know you keep something, it's impossible for people who run suddenly to stop if they don't have a plan" replied the centipede as he continued to slowly crawl around the body of Darto who stood in the middle.

"Many reasons!" Shouted Darto while stomping his feet.

Seeing Darto like he wanted to go forward, the centipede figure retreated three steps. He panicked thinking that Darto was going to attack and that Darto was bluffing.

"Ha ha ha ha ha! You insulted my power, but you're afraid to accept my attack?" Ejek Darto, while still awake, after seeing the centipede jumping back.

"Indeed. Cowardly parents like you should come with your children and nurture them in hell" continued Darto smiling haughtily.

Darto was satisfied to see the movements of his opponent began to be read. When the centipede struck with one of the whiskers or antennae on his head, Darto swiftly caught the whistle fluttered by the centipede, using his left hand.

"Because of you!" Shouted Darto while creating a sword in his right hand. Darto immediately slashed the centipede antenna without a second thought, and at that time also a whisker on the head of the centipede broke off, leaving only half of the base.

The centipede that lost half the antennae on its head screamed with a strange sound, the sound was so loud that Darto's eardrum suddenly buzzed. He squirmed in pain on the ground as he continued to move away from where Darto was standing.

Darto wasted no chance at all, seeing his opponent lose focus, he immediately moved to the front of the centipede and held one intact antenna in his head. Darto immediately slashed without warning, and finally the centipede lost two objects that continued to block the rate of arrows targeting his head.

The figure of the centipede shouted again, he was in great pain after a small part of his body separated from his main body. He ran away from Darto so quickly with fear lodged in his heart.

Seeing the centipede running away from him, Darto instantly created an arrow back. Darto stared straight at his opponent, holding his breath and not blinking at all. Darto really focused on directing the tip of the arrow, right towards the head of the centipede that was running away by moving backwards.

When Darto felt confident that his arrow would hit the centipede's head, he immediately released the arrow from his grasp. The arrow sped at a very fast speed, carrying the result of the battle as well as a hope. Darto looked closely at the rate of the arrows he released, even though it was very fast, but his eyes could still follow the movement of the weapon.

Time feels like it's being pressed slow. Everything seemed to move very slowly before his eyes. Darto was really focused, he could see all the events that were running in front of his eyes slowly. Until he felt like he was standing in a world that had a much different time lag.

Unfortunately, when the arrow that Darto released almost touched the head of the centipede. The centipede reached first into the hole that he had used before. He entered the ground so quickly, that the arrow that Darto came off shot through the tree located above the hole.

Darto was really disappointed not to have managed to kill such a troublesome opponent. He even immediately ran towards the hole where his opponent was hiding while continuing to shoot arrows in succession. But there was no result that Darto got. The centipede he was fighting had already entered into the hole. No matter how many times it is tried, the arrow will never be able to follow the path of the hole winding in the ground.

Darto immediately fell limp at that time, he sat on the ground while continuing to shout one word that he repeated many times in front of the hole. In disappointment, he dripped a clear grain from his eyes as he said "GET OUT YOU BASTARD! A COWARD!"

Today, Darto learned an amazing lesson. He felt a little grateful to be able to defeat a snake that was on par with a centipede because his opponent was off guard. But he could not avoid anything that would happen in the future. Currently Darto get a clear picture, about how strong the opponent he will face in the future. If he saw the strength of his accomplices alone was this strong, then how strong was the creature that led them?
