Genesis: The Lucky Blacksmith
Suspicious

Shortly after the first round of fighting ended, the two guilds who were going to compete next were preparing. However, Riko decided not to watch the second fight. Besides because the guild that will compete in the second round is not in the top rank, also because Riko has another agenda.

The young man sneaked among his friends who were busy watching the preparation of the second round match. The guide appears behind the hovering stands and brings Riko down with a kind of flattened disk that can fly. It seems that Mona and the others have not realized Riko's departure amid the frenzy.

After reaching the bottom, Riko was taken by the guide away from the arena of the match to the asylum house not far from there. The large building was also where players rested after a match.

At first Riko was going to see Gamaliel. Just to congratulate and review the weapons made by the swordsman. However, in the middle of the journey through the forest before reaching the asylum, Riko saw the person: Rangga.

He walked alone towards the battle arena with a suspicious gesture. Riko's wild instincts work. Somehow he felt like Rangga was going to do something bad. The young man hastily told his driver that he would go to the asylum himself.

“Excuse me. I don't need to be delivered. The house looks out in front, right. You must be busy. It's okay I walk alone,” Riko said to the driver.

The guide in the black suit looked doubtful. Several times he turned to the asylum house and the stands of spectators he had to watch.

“Seriously, it's okay. Just stay close too. Safe. The match will start too. You have to ngawasin tribune, right,” persuade Riko half force.

The driver finally relented. “Then, I will take you here. Please go straight to the asylum home and not wander elsewhere. It will be very dangerous if you get lost in the middle of the forest and accidentally enter the arena of fighting,” said the guide solemnly.

“Siap. Safe!” tukas Riko reassured.

“I'm sorry,” said the guide then resigned.

Riko watched the guide's man leave until his back was out of sight. As soon as the figure of the guide disappeared, Riko immediately turned his steps and then along the path where he had seen Rangga passing in a hurry.

Fortunately the forest was not too dense so the traces of Rangga can still be traced by Riko. Especially because Rangga does not walk on the path that many people pass, so the traces of his steps are clearly visible on the ground.

That question was finally answered. After being close enough to the fighting arena, Rangga stopped and hid behind the trees. The frenetic sound of the fight was clearly heard from that place. Riko went to hide behind a tree not far from Rangga. As much as possible he refrained from directly attacking the human figure he hated the most in order to find out what other scheming Rangga was doing.

His waiting has also yielded results. From behind his hiding, Rangga began to bring out typical assassin skills that gave off a pitch-black aura. The next second, the shadow under Rangga's feet suddenly extended like the tendrils of plants that propagated very quickly.

Sontak Riko looked at it. The skill that Rangga used was an ability that should only be possessed by irregulars from the assassin class. As far as Riko was concerned, the skill was owned by Tomi, the vice-chairman of the Silverdeath guild who had kidnapped her some time ago. But what is this? Why suddenly Rangga can also do this?

Amidst the shock, Riko also witnessed how Rangga played some of the guild members who were fighting. They were made to attack their fellow comrades until it was destroyed horribly. It was at that point that Riko realized that currently Rangga was helping one of the parties to win in a fraudulent manner. Riko's anger was unstoppable again. Rangga's crimes have been completely outside the limits of his patience all along. The young man then came out of hiding while calling his flagship axe that he had just repaired: Noctorious Axe. The golden axe glistened beautifully in the grasp of Riko who was running towards Rangga.

The sudden attack surprised Rangga. His active Shadow Chaser skill was instantly cut off while he tried to dodge Riko's axe slash at the very last second. He managed to avoid fatal injuries, but his right arm was hit by a scratch. Riko's golden axe managed to drip the blood of his enemy.

“Lo!” rangga growled with mixed expressions: shocked, angry and confused. “How can you find me, even though I again use the Hiding skill?” continued the young man as he stood up from where he fell on the ground.

Riko did not heed the question because the focus now was only on hurting Rangga. Without answering the question, Riko again stormed Rangga while unsheathing his axe. Rangga again dodged and then pulled out his own weapon, dual dager jet black for half a meter.

“Do not disturb me if you do not want to die now,” growled Rangga full of wrathful angkara.

Riko did not ignore that and again attacked Rangga with a lot of pressure. It felt like all the grudges he had endured all this time were overflowing just like that. Riko has been patient all this time. He could not help himself at all when he saw his enemy was in sight, fighting with him at the stake of life. Riko had imagined this a hundred times in her head. There was nothing important to him now other than destroying Rangga to the point of being intangible again.

“Damn it!” aspir Rangga who began to be pressed by the figure of Riko who darkened his eyes. “Shadow Chaser!” he continued calling for the skill to control his opponent's body.

The shadow under Rangga's feet re-ignited, this time extending towards Riko's shadow and trying to catch it. Instead of dodging, Riko actually used the time of casting Rangga to attack him. However, the time is really narrow. Rangga's skill managed to capture Riko's shadow. It was only a matter of time until Riko's body could be within his grasp.

On the other hand, Riko also felt her body getting heavier to move. He realized his shadow had been caught by Rangga. Even so, Riko did not give up. He kept trying to fight with his axe which had injured Rangga several times.
