ADJOINING REALM
PRELIMINARY AMBUSH

"Norh ...." Darto groaned a little while holding the nape of his neck. He slowly opened his eyes, and saw Maung and Komang talking beside him, "What happened?" with a confused face.

"Sorry, Dar. I made you faint" said Maung as he approached Darto. He tried to help Darto sit down, and leaned against a tree behind Darto's body.

"No, Maung .. I should say thank you. If it wasn't for you, maybe Jaka and I would have been a pile of buildings there" Darto refused, turning his head to Jaka. He looked at Jaka who was still drowning on the ground.

"What's your next plan, Dar? Our enemies are really a lot this time," Komang said.

"True you said, Komang. I had already sensed a great number of enemies before I reached the village. But I really still too easily darkened his eyes by the enemy," complained Darto, "We should rest one night here, so that tomorrow my energy and Jaka are really fit," continued again.

"Alright if that is what you want, Dar," said Maung who had listened earlier.

After that conversation, there was no longer a long conversation between them. Jaka was also depressed after waking up from his stupor, he seemed still not received with a pile of skulls and bones that were misused in the place of his enemy.

But no matter how angry Jaka is, he also knows if he will die immediately, if he attacks blindly. Only a fool could not feel the presence of the thousands of enemies guarding the huge building there, the energy of each of the guards living in the small house around him could even be felt from the moment they were still very far away from the place.

For quite a while the four of them were silent in confusion. They did not know what to do, because their enemies clearly won the amount and also felt strong if felt from his energy.

Time after time continued to pass, the four of them actually spent time resting. When the night was late they slept in a tight-knit position, with Darto and Jaka snuggling right between Maung and Komang.

They were really fast asleep, even though their hearts and minds were far from comfortable. They are still a little confused, with what they will do tomorrow.

However, even though there was no bright spot from the dead end they encountered, time did not bother about it at all. The night continued to be late, until dawn again greeted at that time.

"Sastro! The wajana!" shouted Darto broke the reverie of three friends. He shouted for a moment after opening his eyes, and instantly startled his three friends who had woken up first.

Darto shouted quite loudly. His voice even bounced from place to place, but there was no answer nor the presence of two friends whose names he had just called .

"Free, Dar. We are in a hidden world. Although they heard, they would be confused by the origin of the voice of the person calling," Maung tried to explain.

"True, yes ... we just came here took a long time," said Darto, "If there were them, surely everything could be easier," continued Darto as he looked up.

"Kang .. there are them or there is none, the enemy remains in the thousands. So let's just finish it as usual" Jaka said. He tried to comfort Darto even though he was also a little scared.

"Yes, Dar. Me and Maung are not weak either" Komang continued. He also tried to entertain Darto who was having dead-end thoughts.

"Allah ... Let's just destroy the place. My energy has really recovered" said Darto after a long breath. His gaze changed drastically, what emanated on his face was an expression that fully exuded a confident attitude.

Heard the speech and saw the expression on Darto's face that was so ready. Maung, Komang and Jaka immediately let out a long sigh. They gradually exhaled slowly, then joined to put a steady face on the front side of their heads.

Heard that saying. The eyes of Jaka, Komang and Maung instantly became pointy. They were very sure, just because they heard the words that came out of their friend's lips.

"I will come back alive" said Jaka without budging.

"Me too" said Maung and Komang simultaneously.

"Well .. let's destroy the savage creatures!" shouted Darto while gripping Maung's fur. He was ready, because he knew that Maung would run after he said the word.

Hearing Darto's words, Jaka immediately held tightly to Komang's feathers, and after that they all shot back, towards the bone village they had met.

It took them only a few minutes to get back to their destination, before Darto and Jaka finally got off the backs of their friends.

"Jaka .. try to put energy on top of the middle house" said Darto while creating his flagship arrow.

"Okay, Kang," said Jaka briefly and then sat down cross-legged.

As usual, Jaka instantly made a fireball that continued to solidify as he sat cross-legged. He continued to gather the energy that kept coming out from his palm, until the ball in front of his face started to look solid after quite a while.

"Now, Kang," said Jaka still with a cross-legged sitting position. He did not need to stand up just to move his energy, just by the slap of his hand it had already moved to where his friend wanted it.

Heard Jaka say the word. Darto immediately pulled and released arrows in a short time. He shot the energy ball that Jaka had moved, onto the house he wanted.

After Darto's arrow shot so fast, an explosion formed from the friction of two energies instantly echoed. The explosion had quite a great impact, as the ten bone houses that were in the vicinity disappeared with just one strike.

"Success .. If only like this, maybe we can still. We must live until we meet their leader" said Darto with a corner of his lips slightly floating. He was completely hesitant before attacking, yet this time he felt a different sensation.

Hearing that, Jaka, Maung and Komang also directly raised the corner of their lips. A feeling of fear began to be knocked out of their chests, even though they had just managed to get rid of the ten bone houses that were closest to them.

Yes ... it's only ten houses of bones. There were still many houses made of bones throughout the eyes, even the number was still hundreds of times, of the amount they had destroyed.

"Java ... Let's go berserk up ahead" said Darto when the tip of his lips still curled. He did not want to waste any momentum, as their opponents were still busy hiding inside their respective homes.

Hearing Darto's call. It's not just Jaka who nodded. Maung and Komang also looked up and ran right behind Darto and Jaka. The four men advanced with floating smiles, with their ready-to-die guts lodged within their chests.
