Arthur faintly smelled a foul smell.
Carrion smell.
But the smell did not come from the girl who was walking leisurely in front of him. Since being able to control his transformation, all of Arthur's five senses feel more sensitive.
R1 looks the same. She looks even more beautiful according to Arthur. Her long hair was stroked and the wind blowing her hair fluttered a little making her even more beautiful. Surprisingly, the smell of R1 was foreign to Arthur. There is a fragrant aroma but mixed with fishy smell.
Before Arthur steps closer to R1, Hazel's hand is stretched out to prevent him. He looked at Hazel confused.
"You look healthy R3." R1 said softly. "I miss you" she said with a flirtatious smile.
Arthur looked at R1 closely. Something about R1 has changed. He didn't know what it was that changed but his instincts said there was something terrible behind a face full of smiles that looked fixedly at him.
"R1. you..."
"Yes? Wh why? You don't miss me? Ah... You make me hurt."
For some reason, the words R1 in a flirtatious tone no longer have the same charm for Arthur as they used to when they were together in compound.
"You're the one who changed...."
"Waaaaah you are very attentive deh..hihihihik..." The girl giggled flirtatiously, her hands covering her mouth and the other hand wagging her hair.
Arthur was feeling uncomfortable.
"Daemon lowly like you, what are you doing here?" Aunt Yesha interrupted.
A daemon?
"R1? You..... You chose to be a daemon?"
"Hihihihihik...." The girl giggled amusedly, her voice laughing flirtatiously but horribly.
"Ooh...R3, you shouldn't have run away. Turning into a daemon was the best decision. And only the chosen ones can become daemons" he said calmly as he shook his hair again.
"He turned you?"
"Who?"
"That's chasing me. Head of compound."
"Derrick? HAHAHHA....He wanted to change me but he failed. So here's Arthur to make a daemon need power. And Derrick doesn't have it. Ughhhh......
"Enough the bases." Aunt Yesha came forward and pulled Arthur behind her. Uncle Hugh is also advancing."You..follow with us and explain what this compound is if we don't want it removed."
Eh...wait a minute..remove? Arthur's shocked. He did not know why Aunt Yesha was so cruel. However, it was R1 who taught Arthur various things in order to stay safe in compound.
R1 looked at Aunt Yesha with a mocking look. He approached Aunt Yesha while her hand made a waving gesture in front of Aunt Yesha. When he realized that Aunt Yesha could not see, he laughed
"Hahhahaa....hihihihi, a blind man like you wants to eliminate me? Hahahaha there are no bigger jokes...."
BUUGGH'S...
Not yet finished the girl spoke, she had already floated high up to then slammed onto the ground. The girl groaned in pain. Arthur could not see it.
He leaps and pulls R1 dodging Aunt Yesha's next attack.
"Boy....What are you doing?" Khaleed looked surprised.
"Ehmm.wait. He's my friend, our purpose here is to find out the use of compound as well as to save other children like Arthur before."
"Arthur, he's not your friend. He became a daemon. It used to be a human being wherever he betrayed you." Aunt Yesha looked irritated and impatient to make Arthur nervous.
"Eh.eh right but we have to forgive..."
"YOU'RE CRAZY, HUH?" Aunt Yesha almost exploded.
R1 saw the opportunity. After all, from the time he woke up when he was still a human, he was not a fool. He is quick to learn about the situation around him
"Aaah R3 I'm takyuuuut...why are these friends you brought so fierce?"
Without waiting any longer while giggling once again the girl jumped onto the top of the guard building.
"HEW...Old grandma! You can attack me easily. But our daemons don't fool you!"
He laughed again until he stooped. Arthur doesn't see what's funny.
R1 stands up straight. This time his face was serious. And he grinned scary. He raised his hand.
"You think we're so stupid? With the R3 running, you think we'll just shut up? Derrick's right. R3 is back. That's what he said and he's right."
The girl flicked her hand.
Blaa.blaaak..blaaq.....
The sound of doors opening.
And the stinging stench of stench was making Arthur feel nauseous.
"Receive our welcome.......LET'S HERE'S MY CREATIONUUUUUUU!" The girl shouted cheerfully as her hands moved like chorus conductors.
"ZOMBIES!"
"Our alcom's not working!"
Uncle Hugh and Khaleed shouted at the same time.
From the doors that opened, Arthur saw people who were not in need of his form, their faces bleeding, there were eyes dislodged and hanging, there was a way of jumping up and down because his legs were one. And that stench was apparently coming from them.
Arthur dumbfounded.
He saw the clothes they were wearing. The same jumpsuit clothes he used to wear. Some of them were children with white jumpsuits that he saw on his last night at the compound.
Her tears are flowing. He stood in his place. Hazel jumped up and stood in front of him.
Their numbers are many.
And all of them ran violently charging towards them.
****
Hazel pulled the sword from her back. Uncle Hugh pulls Arthur. Makes Arthur flinch and sober. Suddenly he stood in the middle while the others stood around him. A fortress of protection for him.
Arthur saw R1 still standing on the roof of the guard building while still giggling and dancing. Then he saw some more shadows moving quickly and jumping onto the roofs of other buildings.
The other guard.
Daemons.
Khaleed reached into his pocket. He pulled out a folded thing.
Click...cek ...lik....
With a jolt it opened from its fold and became an object that was shaped like a crescent moon but angled in the middle.
A boomerang.
Arthur saw it when he read human history. If not, it came from Australia.
The zombies are getting closer.
"Haloooo...ga champion again right now...hikhihik......" R1 shouted cheerfully.
"How bright? Join us in. I'll help you get rid of this zombie army? Wantsome? Wantsome? Hikhihik..hikhikihihi.." he continued, he continued.
Aunt Yesha was silent. Only the corner of his right lip lifted slightly.
"What a stupid low class daemon" he said.
"The new daemon has never met us. This may be his first meeting with TLC."
"First and last!" hisses Aunt Yesha.
And without cue. Uncle Hugh raised his hand. Arthur looked at him.
From Uncle Hugh's hand, Arthur saw flashes of bluish light. The light glittered until it was far high above before spreading out like an umbrella. Plunge into the zombies that are running around with a violent towards them. Their hands were all raised.
The lightning strike hit all the zombies. Stopping their steps and making them convulsions.
Khaleed threw his boomerang. He threw the boomerang casually as if he were playing. His wrist gave a slight jolt making the boomerang move in a round shape.
The circle of rotation formed by the boomerang is getting bigger and bigger. Keep spinning between zombies at the same height that is in the head, slashing zombies - zombies are merciless. No blood came out but the zombie that had been slashed on its head immediately lay down.
"Flash news for zombies, boy." Khaleed turned around and grimaced. Then without looking back he made a jerking and pulling motion with his hands."You have to break their brains."
The boomerang darted back into Khaleed's hands and left a zombie-like havoc lying with its head cut off along its path back.
"Oh.yeah right. Rich are you not? Why try to get out of the lightning like a mountain only for zombies this much! Bweee...!" retorting Khaleed while sticking out his tongue, Uncle Hugh simply replied with a chuckle.
"Sigh ....boys will be boys" sighs Aunt Yesha, while Hazel just smiles grimacingly.
"TIDAAAAKKKKIS......Nooooo.....GRDRR.....WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOINGAAAANNNN?!?!?!"
R1 stop dancing. His face looks terrible. Twitchy. The corners of his lips were getting pulled upwards and his mouth started to let out fangs that were getting longer and longer.
"HOW DARE YOU! KREAAAASIKUUUUH! MY WORKUUUUH!"
"R1 what do you mean? your creation? What have you done...."
Not yet done Arthur spoke, Aunt Yesha had interrupted.
"I mean he's the one who made them all zombies. Come on Arthur don't goblog, ah! HE'S NOT HUMAN!"
Aunt Yesha seemed very upset. Maybe for him Arthur was slow.
"Yesha. Arthur only knew this world hadn't been a month. And from it comes. Isn't it good, if he's still this cute and good?" Uncle Hugh said patiently, making Aunt Yesha just spread her shoulders slightly.
Then Uncle Hugh grabbed something from his bag. A pen threaded all over it and gave it to Arthur.
"The real fight will begin. Use it to take care of yourself."
"Haaa?" surprised by Arthur too. How could a pen possibly keep itself.
"Oh. yes.sorry..sorry...sorry..".sorry." Uncle Hugh laughed as he patted his forehead. Then he took the pen from Arthur. Pushed the button. And instead of removing the tip that makes writing that gives off ink, once pressed the pen makes a sound.
Klaaak.klaak.
"Pure silver" he proudly said and handed it to Arthur.
The pen had already turned into a half-meter-long peg. Both ends are pointed and sharp. The middle is threaded which makes it not slippery when grasped by Arthur, the same thread as when still berbernuk pen.
Arthur made a swinging motion with the peg, and from the tip a flash of red light shot right towards Khaleed, fortunately Khaeed swiftly shifted slightly, the beam shot out and struck the body of the zombie that was already lying on the ground and gave rise to a hissing sound, then burning what was left of the zombie.
"Woaaa ...woii ..beware.awww good by Khaleed ni, Boss. Tough, tough, deft and strong." He said with a wry laugh but his eyes seemed to look at Arthur in awe.
"Arthur! Waw! Your energy level is incredible. Not everyone can shoot their energy. Especially the first time.....ACCIDENTAL PULAK!"Uncle Hugh looks so excited."I will train you myself, you will be a great warrior of light!"
"Hey.hey..by the way about energy, I am famous for god-class level energy. So to train Arthur let me."
"You're not a teacher anywhere, Khaleed!"
"I'm a recruiter and a bright fighter coach!"
"But Arthur had to study anywhere first."
"It doesn't mean he can't be a warrior of light right away."
"YOU WANT NYEROCOS TO CONTINUE UNTIL YOU KNOW WHAT?" Aunt Yesha's face was already purplish red a little more stimulation seemed to be about to explode like a volcano ready to spew its lava.
Uncle Hugh and Khaleed smiled wryly. Hazel only grimaces while Arthur is just dumb-eyed, gawking not knowing what they are fighting over.
"If it wasn't my husband and my friends I'd have thrown you to the moon! Hazel Alkom is working?"
Hazel shakes.
"LOOK! As long as you guys scramble like Kindergartens for candy. Look at those daemons."
Arthur only realized the daemons and R1 had jumped down from the roof of the building and their number had tripled.
Hihihihihik....
Laughing sound R1 reverberating.
"You'll regret coming here...In a moment, my creator will also come and bring more reinforcements.... Hihihihikis....HAHAHAHAHA!"
And the girl began to transform her voice into a hoarse and large. His hands are elongated with black taper nails. The clothes he was wearing were torn along with his growing body. The daemons behind him also began to change.
Towering nearly two meters high, R1 appears the smallest among daemons. The other daemons behind him were much larger. Their shapes are also different. There are horns on the head there are on the shoulders, there are also large horns there are small. There is a long tail there is a short one.
R1 has two horns on its head, but is small and blunt just like a lump of boils. He stepped confidently and calmly approaching them. The daemon behind him started running and moving around them.
Surround them from all directions.
"How's R3? Not change your mind? Come join us. If you join us, your friends we'll let go." This time he spoke seriously. No more that horrible giggle.
"Meeeeh......"Khaleed sneered at him, "Just like this? He doesn't know us yet."
"Don't fool Arthur." Uncle Hugh interrupted when he saw that Arthur looked doubtful."Once you become a daemon, you're the one who won't let us go."
"Watch me, boy!" Khaleed threw his boomer again.
The boomerang was circling once again. But the daemons were much more agile than the zombies. They jumped left, right and up avoiding the boomerang.
Khaleed laughed then raised and clenched his hands, jerking his hands. The boomerang was still spinning but this time in addition to spinning, it also fired laser beams like those coming out of the peg that Arthur held but the yellow color sparkled and the light emitted was many and fast.
Some daemons managed to dodge but some were hit by the beam shot and immediately burned mercilessly.
There were ten large daemons, and they did not dodge at all. But they just deflected the light with their hands. Waving the light casually. There was a hissing sound and smoke coming out of the hands that fended it off but not to the point of burning it further.
"CCHUUUKKUUP HMAAHEEEN. ATTACK THEM." The biggest daemon among them shouted and gave a cue with his hand.
The nine friends jumped together. And quickly darted towards them followed by other daemons that still survived.
This time replace Uncle Hugh in action. Once again he let out a bolt of lightning and struck the daemons, stopping their advance. Make them convulsions again and this time from their bodies begin to let out hissing sounds and smoke. The burning smell began to smell again.
The R1 looking from behind looked riveted. He began to prepare to flee. But somehow, Aunt Yesha guessed it.
Aunt Yesha raised her hand and made a gripping and interesting gesture. R1 fell down and his leg was instantly pulled by an invisible hand and stopped right in front of Aunt Yesha.
Daemons began to drift apart, except for the ten largest daemons, others began to fall to the ground, but Uncle Hugh did not stop his attack, the lightning continued to strike, electrocuting the daemons until they burned.
"Take me off. Forgive akuuuuu...huk.....I'm just a lowly daemon like you said. Arthur help me. I'm sorry.i'm your friend...."
Arthur looked at him with pity. The girl had already returned to her human form, her eyes were tearful. He stepped forward and stretched out his hand and pulled the girl to his feet.
"Aunt Yesha, we need it. He can tell us about the entire contents of this compound."
Aunt Yesha paused for a moment and thought. Then suddenly he screamed loudly making Arthur shocked.
"OUT! You wanna hide until when?"
From behind the door of the guard tower, walking slowly looked a beautiful girl.
The remaining ten daemons jumped behind him.
"GHETTUA....."
The girl raised her hand gesturing for them to shut up.
Suddenly R1 gripped Arthur while jumping to join the ten daemons earlier. Fortunately Hazel was on standby. He slashed his sword into R1's hand until the girl's hand broke off and pulled Arthur towards her.
"GYAAAARGGGH......SAKIIII.....HANDKUUUUUH......HUUUHUUHUUHUU ....... CHAIRMANAAA PLEASE AKUUUH....DESTROY THEM...."
"Stupid girl! Quiet down!" R1 looked surprised to hear his unsuspecting answer.
"Keeetuaaaa...."
"YOU DIDN'T TELL ME WHO CAME THIS BLIND WOMAN AND LIGHTNING MAN!" her pretty face for a moment looked terrible.
"Good! You finally showed up in front of me. There's a debt you have to pay!" Arthur detected Uncle Hugh's voice slightly shaking.
"Hahahaha..why Hugh? It's been a long time. Are we not taught to forgive? Or do you want to deposit someone else to be my zombie army? WKWKWKW....." The girl laughed out loud.
"She's you're Rakhta." Aunt Yesha hissing. His hand was raised and the other hand hit the stick to the ground. Along with the sound of the knocking of the cane, all the daemons in front of him shot up into the air.
Daemons including R1 and the newly arrived girl looked surprised, they tried to move but their bodies were tied.
"Ket..ketttuuuaaa, how is this?"ask R1 in a panic.
"SILENCE! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT. WHY ISN'T YOUR INFOME CLEAR? IF YOU KNEW THEY WERE COMING I WOULDN'T RISK HELPING YOU!"
Cueh .... Khaleed spit."Typical daemons, there is no mutual help between them. Just the profit they think."
Rakhta wriggled and then shouted loudly.
From behind the shadow of the dark buildings popping guard figures, they all held rifles and started firing rifles at them.
Aunt Yesha tapped her staff once more. And the bullets that were directed at them fell down before touching a single end of their hair. But this makes his grip to the daemons detached.
Daemon named Rakhta laughed loudly and immediately turned into a very large bat and immediately flew away leaving his colleagues who were not as fast as he left his laughter alone who reverberated.
