ADJOINING REALM
DEADLOCKED

Darto, Jaka, Maung and Komang were completely stunned after seeing dozens of corpses floating on the surface of the water. They stood up and approached the water.

"Please pull one body to the edge" Pinta Darto and immediately got a nod of the head.

Not only Maung, Komang who still use human form also went into the water then they pulled two bodies closest from the edge of the lake.

Darto and Jaka completely closed their nostrils after the bodies that Maung and Komang brought had been successfully lifted to the edge.

The body really did smell bad, and even some of his skin immediately peeled off after Darto tried to touch it.

"Kang.. I'm not strong!" said Jaka then inched away, he vomited all his entrails, after looking closely, what kind of corpse Komang carried.

Darto was also not strong, but he held back with all his might to flip the corpse that still has a sleeping position on its stomach on the edge of the lake.

He flipped the corpse with both hands, holding his breath for as long as he could. After Darto managed to flip the body, Darto immediately rushed to tear the clothes that had been weathered on the corpse.

Darto, Jaka, Maung and Komang again jolted after seeing the incident in front of their eyes.

There was one leech attached to the chest of the corpse. He was still attached so tightly, even though the corpse already had no blood at all on its body.

"Be careful, Dar!" maung shouted after seeing Darto want to grab a leech on the chest of the corpse.

"It's okay. It's just an animal" said Darto then pulled a leech on the chest of the corpse without hesitation.

One strange thing happened again, the corpse that had originally decayed and still had an abstract shape, began to melt in front of the four pairs of eyes of the man.

From the skin, flesh, and even bones melted into a black mucus that clumped behind the clothes and lay on the ground. It really happened after Darto took off a leech the size of an adult's fist on his chest.

Unfortunately, it's not just that that that's happening. Leeches in Darto's hands squirm and then bite the back of Darto's hand.

Darto who was surprised immediately flicked his hand, he tried to release the leech, but the animal was very sticky on the back of his hand.

Because he did not want to escape, Jaka finally pulled the animal from the back of Darto's hand. And after the leech was released, one strange thing happened again.

"How come, Kang?" tanya Jaka was astonished after successfully removing the leech in the hands of Darto.

"I don't know either, Jak," replied Darto as he looked at the place that had been bitten by a leech.

The size of the leech actually increased after biting Darto. Its size has now become the size of a human head, even though it only bites in seconds.

But the strange thing is not that, but Darto's back has no scars at all.

"What do these leeches actually eat?" jaka asked while trying to squeeze the leech using both hands and wanted to see its entrails.

Seeing Jaka's actions, three friends who were also curious immediately followed. They looked closely, the process of Jaka breaking the leech in his hand.

Jaka really squeezed the leech with all his might using both hands, he even put the leech on the ground, because the strong grip from it was not enough to injure the pliable beast.

Right after the leech Jaka put on the ground, Jaka immediately stepped on the creature using both feet. Jaka's efforts finally succeeded, the belly of the leech that was bulging immediately broke, but what came out was not blood.

"That's your energy, Dar! He's eating energy!" sergeant Maung after realizing what objects are popping from the belly of the leech.

Darto and Jaka really flinched. Darto immediately looked back at the wisp of mucus created from the melted corpse, then he again felt surprised because the black mucus that was originally piled up began to move towards the lake.

"He multiplies in the human body! That body wasn't just a corpse, maybe it was the host that used to feed these leeches!" darto said with a face that is difficult to explain.

Jaka, Komang and Maung are also very jolted with what they just heard. They all rushed to look towards the lake and then rounded their eyes when they saw that there were already hundreds of corpses floating on the surface of the water.

"Parent... Komang... Can you swim?" ask Darto with a troubled face.

"Please pick up Sastro and Wajana. I'm afraid they are why, our enemies eat energy," continued Darto.

Maung and Komang immediately turned the body into a tiger again, they took a long swing, before finally jumping into the water after running. After swimming far enough, the two tigers then dive, until it is no longer visible from the view of Darto and Jaka.

Darto and Jaka can only wait in agitation, four of his friends are entering the nest with unfavorable conditions, because they can not help at all in the water.

A few minutes passed after Maung and Komang caught up with his two best friends. Corpse after corpse is still floating every second, but his four best friends have not yet revealed the trunk of his nose.

"Jak ... You wait here first," said Darto.

"Where are you going, Kang? Don't tell me Kang Darto wants to go into the lake" replied Jaka.

"I just want to make sure of one thing, Jak," said Darto as he stepped closer to the water.

Jaka no longer answered, he only saw what Darto was doing, after he arrived right by the lake.

Darto put his palm in the water, and he was seen waiting for something in silence.

Darto continued to observe the palms still submerged in the water, he looked so serious before finally raising his palms in haste.

"Kang!" jaka shouted in panic after seeing a pile of leeches attached to the back and palms of Darto.

"Now I'm more worried about their situation, Jak... I just drained a little energy, and they came right away" said Darto, staring at the lake.

"Just believe me, Kang. They are our great friends, so there's no way they'll die from leeches" Jaka said. He continued to help uproot the leeches that began to grow in Darto's hands.

"We just pray, Jak," Darto was a little calm after hearing Jaka's words, he also immediately took the leech in his hand and invited Jaka to stay away from the lake.

Seconds become minutes, minutes are even hours passed. The four friends that Darto and Jaka have really haven't come out of the lake yet.

All that kept appearing was a corpse that was floating more and more every second, even its speed appearing faster compared to just a moment ago.

Darto and Jaka are getting more worried and more worried every second, but they can not do anything with the human body.

In that extremely disturbing taste, a speck of light began to appear from the middle of the lake.

Two tigers swimming began to be seen clearly from a distance, they seemed to bite two bodies in their jaws while swimming.

After approaching, Maung and Komang immediately pulled over and put two bodies on the ground. Darto and Jaka were really very happy, they immediately ran to the direction where Maung and Komang pulled over and then provided assistance.

They put away all the leeches with their hands, on their bodies and the bodies of their two drooping companions. Sastro and Wajana were completely unconscious, they looked exactly the same, as when out of the illusionary world.

"They're running out of energy, Dar. Please help them both, my energy and Komang are also running out" Maung said as he looked at Darto with a lethargic face.

Darto nodded and immediately shared the energy of his two friends, while Jaka just kept quiet and watched because he could not help, considering that his body could drain the energy of anyone touched by him.

Darto's business really immediately got progress, it did not take long to make Sastro and Wajana aware. Even after Sastro and Wajana regained consciousness, Darto again distributed his energy to Maung and Komang who still looked pale.

After all his friends looked better, Darto immediately asked them. Hearing that, four friends immediately explained what they saw in the lake.

What is in the lake?

How do they take care of the creatures that are in the water?

Let's wait for the continuation.
