ADJOINING REALM

"What are we dealing with this time, Jak?" tanya Darto while ruffling rough Jaka's hair.

"Mirror, Kang!" jaka replied enthusiastically.

After saying the word, Jaka tells every incident he experienced, from when he sucked the power of the shadow, until he managed to suck the power of the mirror after fighting thousands of shadows.

All of Jaka's friends immediately put on a relieved expression on their faces. Especially Darto, he immediately embraced Jaka's shoulder as he said, "Right, right? You're actually great, Jak. As long as it's not rash."

Jaka immediately smiled widely, he was like a puberty man, who always soared when he heard a compliment.

Seeing Jaka's happy face, all his friends were completely blown away, they mocked and imitated Jaka's expression as he stepped out of room number five.

Without feeling their footsteps had reached the door of their destination, this time Darto and five friends were standing right in front of door number four.

Before opening it, Darto turned his head to the throne, from where he stood he could only see a large chair made of bone, but not for the owner.

"Not yet, Dar... I know you want to get to that place quickly. But if the Brahmins are right, we can face five creatures at once if we go straight there" Maung said after seeing Darto staring at the throne seat.

"Yes, Maung... Hopefully this place is not a hassle" replied Darto while staring at Maung.

A moment later Darto turned his gaze, he looked back at the door, while turning the handle he had held.

The back door opened, and the view from the front door was very different from the 19 doors that Darto and his friend had entered.

From the front of the door, it was clear that a small, weathered hut was standing on its side in the room.

It was the only building Darto and his five friends could see, no other objects, nor any other buildings.

Not even the ground alone existed, the hut in front of the room actually looked like it was floating in midair.

Darto even hesitated to step in, because he did not see a floor that could be used as a foothold when stepping into the hut.

In addition to the rickety hut, everything that appears in the place is only white, exactly the same as the place where Darto got the legacy of energy in the prayer beads belonging to Eyang Darma.

But Darto who had no choice at that time ventured to insert one of his legs.

He tried to ascertain whether his feet could tread or not, and fortunately his feet felt like they were touching something, even if it was invisible.

"We can walk here" said Darto as he stepped forward and then slightly jumped.

The five friends immediately nodded, they followed Darto without hesitation, and entered room number four in turn.

The same thing happened again like door number five. The door that had just been passed, had suddenly closed very tightly.

The sound of the door sounded like a slam, which indicates if the owner of the room was waiting and did not like the arrival of the six strangers.

The six men turned their heads back, they stared at the door after hearing a loud noise, and they again found that the door they had originally used had disappeared.

"Mirror again? Let me take care of it then," said Jaka trying to give input.

"Remember, Jak... Do not be rash," reject Darto while holding Jaka's body that wants to step forward.

Darto was really alert at that time, he still felt a little disturbed, with a display in the room.

"Let me go first, Dar," said Sastro.

Darto nodded immediately, allowing Sastro to lead the way while spreading energy throughout his body.

Darto strongly believes in the ability of Sastro who can withstand every attack, given the combined attack he had launched with Jaka, Sastro can withstand with just a little bit of his micro energy.

Step by step Sastro continued to stay away, he had no problems on the way, until everyone immediately felt safe afterwards.

Seeing that Sastro was doing well until in front of the hut, his five friends rushed to follow Sastro every step.

When viewed from afar, the remaining five men actually looked like they were hovering, they were like walking in the air, and not using any footing at all.

When Sastro's five friends almost got to where he stood, the four men experienced one very surprising thing.

Darto, Jaka, Wajana and Komang suddenly fell, the four of them fell from a height and were constantly in freefall until their bodies could no longer be seen from where Sastro and Maung were confused.

Just when they fell, Darto who already knew that it was a trap, he had shouted to Maung and Sastro who were fine up there.

With all his might, Darto said a sentence on the sidelines of his three friends who were screaming in surprise.

At that time Darto said, "Maung! The sastro! You guys can do it! Let us take care of the enemy downstairs if there is one!"

Sastro and Maung did not reply, they just nodded while chuckling, then stepped back to the front door of the hut.

"You sure they're okay? Do we need one of us to catch up with them?" Sastro said a little worriedly, he asked Maung, just before his hand opened the door.

"Who do you think you're worried about, Sas?" maung replied mockingly, he approached towards the door, and preceded Sastro to open the door.

Right after the door opened, Maung again said, "There they must be worried about us, Sas."

Sastro again chuckled after hearing Maung's second utterance, he instantly recalled all the fights that had not been long ago.

Of the four friends who fell, two of them could even finish the room with their own strength, while he and Maung so far could only be considered reinforcements.

"Yes too... Now it seems like it's our turn," Sastro replied still chuckling.

Sastro began to envelop his entire body with green-colored energy. Not only his own body that he protected, without Maung realizing, his body was perfectly wrapped in Sastro's energy in the blink of an eye.

After he finished dividing the energy with Maung, Sastro even continued to spread his energy, until his protection was able to reach to the place where his four friends were falling down there.

"This is Sastro's energy! Kang!" yelled Jaka while observing his entire body.

Darto immediately smiled after seeing what was happening to him and the three friends beside him. He slightly laughed as he said, "Sastro is really great! Thanks to this, at least our bodies will not be destroyed down there. Get ready.we're close."

Darto and his three friends began to see objects below them. After quite a long fall, the first sight they could see was the tip of a fairly shady tree waiting under their feet.

While Maung and Sastro had already opened the door of the hut, they hurriedly stepped inside without a second thought.

After entering, the two men witnessed a scene that was compared to turning around with the previous one.

When viewed from the outside, the hut looked like it was floating above the sky. But when entering the hut, emblazoned is a large root that meets each side of the hut wall.

The size is also inversely proportional. The size of the space inside the hut was vast, even enough if it was used by hundreds of people at once.

Not only that, the bamboo hut wall that looks rickety from the outside, now turned into a soil wall with thousands of holes lined between the root slits.

Seeing the strangeness, Maung Langaung opened his voice and said, "Sastro, it looks like we're going to fight a disgusting enemy again."

Hearing those words, Sastro immediately burst open, then said, "You're afraid?"

Just as Sastro closed his mouth, there was a gurgling sound that filled every corner of the room.

The sound of thousands of small footsteps could be heard so clearly from within the hundreds of gaping holes between the roots, they seemed to approach and continue to approach every second.

Hearing the boisterous voice, Maung began to change his form into a tiger, then he turned towards Sastro.

Maung actually smiled at his interlocutor, he showed off his row of sharp teeth as he said, "Fear? It's a whiny feeling that our enemies should feel."

Seriate....
