ADJOINING REALM
SURPRISE

Tonight felt so long gone, Darto and Jaka really hard to close their eyes. They still continued to think of such a terrible fight, that their eyes seemed reluctant to be closed.

After a morning of greeting, the King again gathered all the remaining men in the middle of the field. The pile of corpses was no longer there, the soldiers of the kingdom last night worked to lift the bodies one by one before finally burning them.

This morning the King again opened his voice loudly in front of the rest of the crowd. In a loud voice he said, "Choose your weapons in the arsenal! We cut off the head of the arrogant rebel across there!"

All the men immediately cheered, they scattering towards the weapons storage room, then came out with the equipment they had chosen inside the armory.

Darto and Jaka did not vote for weapons, they just stood by the King's side. The King did not tell them to use the weapons in the warehouse, as the King felt that the two candidates beside him no longer needed them.

After all the men came out, the King took Darto, Jaka, Brahma and Ayandra to the side of the kingdom. The king told the four young men to choose the horse in the stable. And not long after that the King returned to the crowd with four men riding horses.

Darto and Jaka actually can not wear a horse, but the main body owner is so shrewd, even their bodies seem to move themselves, when directing the horse they ride.

Five horsemen had stopped, to invite all the remaining soldiers from the competition. They follow the horse's steps on foot.

Towards the long day, the time needed to arrive at a village that looks so prosperous. The village looks much more advanced, from the village inhabited by the owners of the bodies of Darto and Jaka. There was even a market where people exchanged things, and the clothes they wore were almost completely different styles.

Everyone welcomed the King's arrival with a smile and open arms, without them knowing that the King's arrival was only to seize the territory.

While all the soldiers rested in the village, they stopped to recover their strength, because the day was already plastered that night.

After the morning greet again, they regroup, and again walk towards a building like a palace that stands majestically in the middle of the village.

The king stopped all the steps of his soldiers in front of the gate, the King only invited four horsemen to enter the palace.

Not long after the King entered, there appeared a handsome man wearing a smiling blangkon from inside the building. He walked out casually and said, "Well. Until the leader of the next region would pay a visit to this simple house."

"Cuih .. can-can you relax so? And I came here to ask you to submit under my power" said the king. He spat from above the horse, shortly after seeing the man in front of him so casually welcoming his arrival.

"Oh .. Now you have two strong men, you deserve to act" said the man wearing the blangkon. He continued to watch over Darto and Jaka who were still riding horses at the King's side.

Darto and Jaka immediately swallowed a million questions in his heart, might that person know about their strength? Or has he heard from one of the contestants who became a spy?

But the question was never answered, all they knew was that the man wearing the blangkon looked extremely strong. The aura he has is even equivalent or maybe more abundant than Jaka, Darto and the King.

The blangkon man was really strong, from the look of his eyes alone could already exert such an intimidating pressure. The strength of his beyond reason, without them knowing that lodged in the body of the man with a horn was someone who pulled Darto and Jaka to this past world.

The king was furious at the man's taunts, but he suppressed his emotions and told Brahma and Ayandra to attack the man simultaneously.

The king immediately rounded his eyes, he told Darto and Jaka to work together, while he ran to the back to meet the soldiers who were still waiting for the decision for the next order.

The king spurred his horse as fast as he could while yelling at the man wearing the blangkon, "If I can't get rid of the King, I can just get rid of his people! There is no King! If there are no followers!"

The man wearing a blangkon did not flinch at the threat of the King, he smiled as he continued to dismiss the attack bertili that Darto and Jaka threw. He already knew exactly what the king would do, precisely the incident he wanted to show to Darto and Jaka.

"Hey young man .. do you agree that your King killed all the people who gave you your beds last night?" asked the man who hung up on Darto and Jaka who were besieging him.

"What does grandfather mean?" jaka asked as he continued to slash his fire spear. Jaka's attack was completely countered, without much effort from his opponent.

"Then your king. Look at yourself with your eyes" replied the man as he caught the arrow that Darto had taken off.

The man did not give any attacks at all, he continued to defend with an extremely extraordinary ability. The fight lasted quite a long time at that time, but there was no result at all even though Darto and Jaka continued to combine their double attack after attack.

Darto and Jaka, who had no choice but to win, decided to stop the attack and listen to his opponent's orders.

"Why don't you attack us, cake?" asked Darto while removing the arrow in his hand, after he felt all the effort he did was in vain. After seeing that his opponent did not give a reply to the attack at all, Darto assumed that his opponent could be invited to speak.

"It's not me, but it's your actions that will determine whether you will come home or die here, all your actions determine your graduation" said the man, staring at Jaka and Darto in turn, then he disappeared like a puff of smoke and no sound from it was heard.

Darto and Jaka were really surprised, they immediately looked at each other while trying to swallow even though they were stuck in the throat. They did not expect that there would be one person who knew about their existence, even that person could tell if they were doing the test.

"He's the owner of the shack, Jak. Surely it is him, no one else knows about our truth" Darto said shortly after being stunned, while Jaka could only nod and try to accept the assumption from Darto.

After that, Darto and Jaka returned to riding his horse, they returned to the village, but what happened was really beyond their expectations.

All the soldiers had finished tying up every citizen they met. Residents were gathered in one large enough place, they were forced to crouch with their hands tied behind their backs.

From women, men, young, old and even children were all gathered in the same place, and waiting for a further decision to be uttered from the mouth of the haughty King who was sitting on his horse.

Some babies and adults cry in fear, many are also mixing up confused faces, and some do not know what to express. The citizens who numbered in the hundreds really swallowed a million questions, about what they would receive afterwards.

They can only resign, waiting for one incident that will determine the results of the test from Darto and Jaka.
