ADJOINING REALM
END OF KI AXAR

After receiving greetings from the real enemy, Darto and Jaka were actually lying limp on the ground at that time. They even closed their eyes, even though the rain was pouring all over their bodies.

Seeing this, Maung and Komang immediately understood, they understood how tired the two young men in front of him were, considering the long fight they had done without a break. From the moment they entered the mouth of the cave, then against Ki Gandar, until they just got a surprise from their new opponent.

Seeing the two young men falling asleep, Maung and Komang immediately curled up beside the bodies of Darto and Jaka, they shared the warmth that their bodies had, he said, so that his two human friends do not shiver in the cold.

For quite a long time the four friends fell asleep in the place, they did not care about the irregularities around them, because they felt if there was no danger that could threaten them again.

Sure enough, even until Darto had awoken from his sleep, they did not encounter a single creature that dared to disturb them. All the creatures who live on the bottom of the iron, already know if their leader has lost with two humans who come to him.

Not a single creature dared to show their noses to Darto and Jaka, they consider Darto and Jaka as superhuman mandra use, and they are, until instantly they have fear of anyone who has managed to subdue the leader.

When Darto's consciousness had fully recovered, he hurried to wake Jaka and his two friends. They rushed to continue the journey without eating anything, because the provisions that Darto and Jaka brought were completely eaten without waste.

"Later if we've come out of the bottom of the iron, I will find fruit that can be eaten by humans, Dar," said Maung when he let Darto sit on his back.

"Is the fruit here delicious?" sahut Darto brief.

"Almost the same as the fruit in the human world, only the shape is sometimes different" Maung replied.

"Alright ... later please find a lot," pinta Darto shamelessly, "Maung ... you know where the place of the betta?" keep Darto back.

"You can say you know, you can't, Dar, either" Maung replied with a serious face.

"You mean?" ask Darto back.

"It's a myth even for my countrymen, Dar. The place is clear, but no one has ever made it there, unless that person has been allowed to enter by the owner of the place" Maung tried to explain.

"So I have to get permission from him first?" ask Darto back.

"Maybe yes, maybe not, Dar. But if judging from how much anger he had earlier, maybe you can meet without asking permission first" Maung said without further ado.

"Yasudah .. now we go first to Ki Gandar's village. If we can be fast," asked Darto after he felt understood by Maung's remarks discussing the location of his last opponent's house.

Hearing that, Maung immediately ran to align her footsteps with the steps of Maung who had walked first with Jaka. When he got near Maung, he immediately invited his friend to run towards the village.

Komang and Maung immediately ran as hard as they could, until it took them only a few minutes to get to the front of the village where they had met Arya.

But when the four of them arrived, the atmosphere of the village was really depressed quiet, there was no sound of animals or living things in it. Everything was seemingly silent with a gripping aura that emanated so clearly.

"Arya ..." cried Darto as he knocked on the door of Arya's house.

Shortly after Darto knocked on the door, Arya opened the door a little, then she peeked through a thin slit while whispering softly, "Who are you?"

Hearing the question, Darto immediately put on a look of surprise and said, "What's wrong? Why do you look so scared, Arya?"

"Who are you?" arya asked for a second time, she did not ponder the question from her interlocutor, because she also had not gotten an answer from the person in front of her.

"Please come in" Arya replied as she opened the door of her house wide enough.

Seeing that the door was open, Darto and three friends immediately entered the house. After everything entered, Arya looked at the surrounding conditions by just removing her head. He swept his gaze in all directions, then inched in and shut the door tightly after feeling the safe atmosphere in control.

"What's wrong? Why are you acting like that?" asked Darto a little worried.he felt a little anxious after seeing the movements that Arya just showed.

"He's raging, Dar," Arya replied with quivering lips.

"He who? That red devil?" ask Darto straight to the point.

"Sstttt" Arya sizzled with the index finger attached to her lips, she was afraid because Darto called the name so loudly, "Don't be hard, Dar, we will be found out" he said.

"You take it easy, we're here to help you catch Ki Gandar. Do you want to stay here or follow him?" sahut Darto with a serious face.

"We will follow him wherever he goes, Dar, for sure" Arya replied, changing her expression. He gradually looked relieved after hearing the offer from his interlocutor.

Hearing Arya agree, Darto immediately asked arya to gather all the villagers in front of his house. At first Arya rejected Darto's request, because he was afraid that the devil would come and eat them because the leader who guaranteed their safety they were no longer there, but Darto and Jaka finally managed to persuade him, after they gave a promise to do their best if the devil came to this place suddenly.

Not long after getting persuasion from Darto and Jaka, Arya went running around the village and returned to his home with hundreds of residents. They actually have the same number, with the number that Darto and Jaka had seen at the time of taking the exam first.

When everyone had gathered, one by one people approached Jaka. They queue for their turn to be released from the shackles that bind their feet. Their legs are bound by one red shackle, and the shackles are connected from one person and the other.

Totally different from the shackles that bind Ki Axle. The shackles that bound Ki Gandar looked like chains that tied beasts and guard dogs around his neck, but the chains that bound the residents really looked like chains that tied hundreds of slaves together at once.

Jaka was really painstaking in taking care of them one by one in the silence, until finally there was only one person left who had the most end of the tie, when it was only Jaka opened his voice while breaking the last chain, "Now you can go home. Sorry if we're late."

Hearing Jaka's words, hundreds of residents immediately stared at each other. They whispered and muttered to each other, because they were confused by the meaning of Jaka's words.

When everything is confused. One of the residents who got the first rations apart from the shackles, began to show changes to his body. His appearance began to thin and continued to thin until it became transparent, then he disappeared perfectly without leaving a trace at all.

When the first person is completely lost, one by one the other citizens feel the same way. Their bodies became translucent almost simultaneously and then disappeared like they never existed in the world.

Seeing all the souls of the citizens had gone to where they should be, Darto, Jaka, Maung and Komang immediately smiled while staring at the empty air.

Their hearts were very relieved and also very happy, because they had returned to solve a thing that had been raging for thousands of years.

After quite a long time of pride, the four of them finally continued their journey back to immediately get out of the bottom. They have to hurry, considering that every second wasted will be very valuable when compared to the time that runs on the human world.

Today, the village in the middle of the plinth that originally contained hundreds of souls was shackled, turned into a dead village that had absolutely no life. The only thing standing there was a building that looked exactly like the one they had in their lifetime, as well as a memory for anyone who had ever stopped in it.
