Landria: The King of the Criminals
Chapter 40. Betting Again.

As a former soldier of course Ragil found out about the Witch's Special Prison. Where all the witches can be drained of their energy with Valkirie's technology. The captives were unable to kill themselves because their bodies were limp and every day they were fitted with exhaust devices on their heads, hands and feet. In the prison of witches, life is hell.

"I Know, I know what the Witch's Special Prison is." Whisper Ragil to Sarr. "But Arch doesn't know that I can kill myself even when I'm disabled. Which means he won't get anything from me. It's just that the loss on our side will be so great."

Ragil took three steps forward to approach the Arch.

"I don't understand what you mean." Ragil spoke loudly to his opponent. "What I don't want to know is why you and Sarr are in conflict when you're still in one camp."

"Maha., uh.,. " Arch laughs. "We serve a different general. Assassin No 1 only carried out the task of assault and kidnapping led by General Etuell while General Bald's job was to maximize energy resources."

"already.,. No need to talk about unnecessary." Dupp's approaching Arch. "Now we fight or you give me your skill to make a Duplicate."

"Ancient Arrays are of many types. Which array do you want?"

"Critical Absoulut Array of course." Dupp's leaving his waist. "Don't ask me where I know from, the Absolute Critical Skill you used on Vhestee had overwhelmed King Argag, Hammard. Though the level of Vhestee is lower than King Argag, but it can make the King have deep wounds." (*)

(The event can be seen in Landria 1, Chapter 26, Absolute Critical.)

"It's true." Hammerdat supported Dupp. "That's why my father would like to invite you as the Guest of Honor. That's why I came specifically to see you."

"Just to master the Ancient Array must have the Light Element."

"Huh!! I'm Vacuum Dupp The Duplicator then all the Elements I can make Duplicat. Including the Dark Elements of the Dark King."

"All right then..." Answer Ragil.

"What is good?. Are you just gonna give up. Don't do anything stupid and then regret it later." Snap Sarr.

Ragil continued his words without heeding Sarr's warning. "I'll do it my way by betting."

"bet?" Arch tried to digest his opponent's intentions.

"If you don't agree then we can fight it out to the last point of blood. Believe me, even if we lose you will definitely not get me alive. But you can take my body to your father. Which means you won't get anything.."

"So if you lose a bet then you'll do what we all want?" Arch hunt.

"Just to release the Key Seal has to go to Aramaa Land, or you can take me to your father."

"No problem." Dupp. "Bet what do you want? Is with the fight like your custom. Duel.?"

"Can too. But you're not the one who fought Mr. Dupp. Because your power is too great it means unbalanced." Ragil made the requirements.

"good. Then let Arch fight but his opponents must not be Funuell, Paniell and Arbakir." Dupp also filed a condition. "If you have an objection then we have one too."

Ragil thought for a moment, who will be the opponent for Arch. Even Dawave and Sarr could not defeat him.

"good. Let's talk about the conditions of the terms, i.e., I'll approve your three requests. Guests to the kingdom of Argag, Grants the Critical Absoulut Array and gives my body to be taken to the Witch Prison but after my meeting with Queen Valkirie. For that I also filed Three conditions requirement if we win the game."

"I don't agree." Sarr advanced in front of the Arch. "Hiwa Ragil belongs to Queen Valkirie. Do you want to oppose the Queen."

"For this matter let General Bald confirm to Queen Valkirie." Resolute Arch. "If indeed the Queen has a plan for Ragil's life then I believe General Bald will do the Queen's order."

"Say your three terms." Dupp is impatient.

"I don't agree." Funuell. "This is besides Me, my father and Arbakir no one can stand against you. This is not fair. You should at least allow two against one."

"Swive Funuell. The one who will be fighting against the Arch is the King of Villains, the Disciple of the Dark King." Ragil.

"Wait for Ragil." Dupp cut. "If what you're saying is that the King of Criminals is the same person as the person at the Black Market Arena in Ulgar then I disagree. I've detected that the black-robed man is not human. Maybe he's an immortal being one of the Dark Lord's subordinates. Since he was not human then he was unable to get involved in this fight. He has absolutely no stamina. This fight is a fight between living beings."

Ragil was quite aghast to hear the words of Dupp. Because at that time the doll used was from Kirk, Avatar. The Dark King. By using Skill Switch Body (*). How Dupp found out.

(Visibly seen in Landria 1 Chapter 32, Battle of the Dark King)

"Then I will fight with the Arch myself" Ragil assured. "But since I wanted to speak specifically with Arch then the fight had to be in a closed room."

"closed Room? No problem." Dup assured.

His hand Dupp made a small movement. A white light emerged from the middle-aged Man's hands. The light rapidly grew.

A room is created but only Dupp, Arch and Ragil are in this Dimensional room.

"Since when have you duplicated this Dimension Space." Ragil did not expect the ability of the Dewi Kumala Skill to be duplicated by Dupp.

"You remember the fight between the Dark Lord and the Arch? After that you had the Goddess create Dimension Space to see the illusion made by the Goddess where the Arch devious way to kill the Goddess? At that time I can change shape in the crowd and take the time to go up to the arena and touch the Goddess who is still activating the Dimension Room.*"

(The story can be seen in Landria 1 Chapter 32, The Battle of the Dark King.)

The ability of Vacuum Dup is to make duplicates by touching the body of the person doing the magic.

"Hows it? Are you able to speak privately with Arch here and also have a fight in this place?"

"good. You can come out now 'cause I'm gonna talk to Arch."

"I'll give you 10 minutes and then I'll bring Naery Sarr into this place as a witness on your part, as well as a witness from the Arch. for this fight." Dupp stepped out of the Dimensional Room."

"Don't. You'd better put Arbakir as a witness."

"Good." Dupp then disappeared from behind the room divider.

"Why Dupp? why do you hate me so much now when we used to be friends." What Ragil meant was when they were together on Treasure Island.

"There is no point in talking about the past. I'm a Military spy and will do anything for the job I'm assigned."

"Is that really Arch? You're the one who always excited me. You're the one who always helped me when I was bullied. You also endured all the suffering and almost died from the grudges of those bullies' parents. Is that part of your mission Arch.?"

"Enough. Stop the. I will not answer the past. Everything I do for the sake of mission period.

A castle where a nobleman lived, there was a sound of screaming. The residents of Puri panicked running around each other erratically.

From the top of the roof there were some people twisting a piece of rope with ballast at both ends. The rope was turned like a propeller then thrown towards the residents of Puri who ran. When the rope given by the ballast hit their bodies running, then immediately wrapped around the body to the feet make them fall and can not run anymore.

That's how the residents of Puri were paralyzed.

Above from the Castle was a magic ship with a flag drawing two cross-copy axes. It was the emblem of the Treasure Island Hijacker.

These hijackers were currently robbing at the place where a noble lived. That's why the residents ran around screaming.

The occupants who did not run out were the witches who were ready for the fight. So the witches of the Hijackers fight the Puri witches.

The leader of the hijackers was Dev Ravalard. The father of Dev Ragilard, often called Ragil.

Ravalard is an S-level magician with his magic weapons two long axes along his body. Its flat eyes are also as big as two human heads.

Ravalard has an air element so that every single wind can split steel. If the impact is dropped to the earth then the land is split. Not to mention its telekinetic ability that can fly both axes.

Some of his opponents inside the Castle were rendered helpless against him.

In the kitchen there was an old man and a child hiding while peering from the gap behind the wall. The old man whispered to his son.

"As our spies say, the Dev Ravalard hijacker will attack this castle."

"Is that Measles user's uncle named Ravalard?" The boy watched the man called the head of the hijacker.

"real Arch. This is the time for you to act. According to the information Ravalard never fought a child or an old woman, so you should not be afraid to face him because he will not hurt you. He also likes to accommodate talented children like you." Said the old man.

"Good Dad. I'm going out now." The boy called Arch was about to get out of the kitchen.

"Don't forget your target is Dewi Kumala who is currently on Treasure Island." The old man named Bald reminded.

"I understand."
