Landria: The King of the Criminals
Chapter 42. Childhood: Arch, Ragil and Goddess

"Ragil, are you okay."

"It's okay." The answer is even though his head is bleeding.

"Your head is bleeding. Let's go to the nun Dewi Kumala to take care of your head." Arch urges.

"I'm fine. Just leave me alone."

"No. You need to come with me to take care of your head."

"You don't have to care about me. I'm used to it myself."

Finally Ragil half-heartedly wanted to be invited by Arch. His body in the pelvis crossed the rocky area.

Although the teenagers' second steps were slow, they slowly began to leave the beach entering the rocky area.

Ragil and Arch do not realize that the three mischievous children are hiding behind a large rock waiting for their arrival.

The three children who are still the same age are not happy about the intervention of Arch. They are actually daunted by a child who has a special element like Arch. A rare element. Lightning Element.

These brats will make a sudden attack so that the possibility is higher.

"A voice like a whisper was heard in Arch's ear. "Awas. The three of them are hiding behind a rock."

Arch looked around looking for the owner of the voice. But there was no visible trunk of his nose. This Lightning youth thought that it was just a gust of wind that resembled a whispering voice. So he took Ragil back to the village.

Then the whisper came again, but this time it was heard in Ragil's ear. So this wounded child stopped his steps. Of course this made Arch to stop his steps.

Ragil has known the magic abilities of the clown from his father, although never witnessed directly but in his memory the words of his father always remembered him.

"Revelation..." His shouting.

It is true that the sound of the whisper is the voice of the clown. As we know the ability of clowns is to talk long distances and hear long distances. He can even hear the sound of a heartbeat even over long distances.

"The bullies are here." Ragil turned his body.

Arch who heard Ragil's cry was about to turn around to face the attacker from behind.

But it's too late. Fire magic began to lock the two herds up from behind Arch and Ragil.

Not only that, the stones began to fly attacking these two children.

Ragil fell to the ground. The clothes on his back were on fire and his skin was exposed to the heat of the fire. Her hair was also starting to burn. The burns are making this child in pain. But he did not scream, even impressed to endure the pain.

Arch put up a body to protect his friend. His electric hand hit every stone that came. His clothes were already on fire but his body was immune to fire.

Without a doubt, Arch went straight to the three attackers.

A violent burst of water struck Arch making himself unable to get close to his opponents. Even to take one step forward was also very difficult. The thrust of this water spray was extremely strong. He tried to hold his body to stay standing, not to be thrown backwards.

Because water is a conductor of electricity, it makes high-voltage electricity to fend off the water spray.

That electrical power quickly spread through the water and stung directly onto the owner of the water magic. Spontaneous high electrical voltage makes the glasses electrocuted and instantly collapsed. His body is emitting smoke.

The other two friends did not expect that the glasses would fall easily. The fear of the cowardly nature of the child began to creep into their heads.

When there were no bursts of water restricting his movements, Arch immediately charged towards the owner of the fat boy's fire magic. Arch only holds the fat guy's hand while on the electric circuit. Of course the fat guy immediately convulsed and then fell unconscious.

A large rock hit the Arch's head from behind. The pain is not playing. This kid has a strong will. He can't pass out before he beats his bullies.

Arch turned around and glared furiously at the skinny guy. Emotions peak.

Seeing the unfortunate circumstances, the skinny one immediately ran away from the Arch in fear.

"Bas a coward." Shouted Arch irritated.

He took a stone, with the help of a lightning explosion in his throw the stone towards the skinny who was running.

This time it was hard to reach his opponent. The Arch let his enemy escape.

"You okay Ragil?" Arch again raised that weak body.

Ragil's back has a slight burn. He was suffering from the burns.

Since his father never cared about Ragil when complaining about the deeds and mischief of the three children, Ragil had never complained to his father again. All his suffering was kept alone. All the cynical views of the people in the village were never ignored. His only wish was to leave this island of hell.

This time such a great pain did not make Ragil complain. Not even grimacing. He only accepted his destiny as an outcast teenager. He was the only person who had no magic power on the island.

Ragil lets himself in the bopong by Arch. While from afar on the hill the clown with his face painted to laugh again sat looking at the sea.

Arch and Ragil reach the abode of the nun Dewi Kumala. Seeing the condition of these two children made the Goddess rush over their wounds.

Finally the two children were at the Dewi's house all afternoon. They eat together and tell each other stories. Arch became increasingly familiar with the Goddess.

Arch tells that he is a child without parents to make the Goddess pity.

Dewi also told that he was the one who was given the task of Ragil's father to awaken the magic power of Ragil.

Since the beginning of why Arch let Ragil get hurt is the goal to be able to approach the Goddess. Now the strategy has been achieved. Arch could be getting more familiar with the Goddess.

Since that day Arch often came with Ragil to the place of the Goddess. This Lightning Youth now had a reason to approach the Goddess that was to accompany Ragil so that no one else would disturb him.

A few days later, the pirate ship came. The hijackers traveled a lot and returned for a long time. Sometimes week. If many targets can be up to a month.

The parents of the bullies were very angry when they saw their son lying on the bed with the electricity of the Arch.

Once when Arch was about to come to the beach to find Ragil. Unexpectedly his three parents of the bullies were blocking.

Even if Arch had the ability but to deal with the three old men was not a balanced opponent.

It didn't take long to make the Arch battered.

This boy was intentionally left alive just because he was picked up by the Chief of Ploughs. If not, maybe this lightning teen has already lost his life.

When Ragil returned from the beach, he saw Arch was already covered with wounds. Blood is everywhere. Next to his eyes is swollen. His condition is very concerning. If not immediately helped his life will be in danger.

"Report... If you hear me, help me. Arch is battered."

Ragil's screams sound slurred in the ears of the Clown because the distance is quite far. Immediately the clown rushed towards the direction of the voice.

"Didn't you hear when Arch was hit?" Ragil asked when he saw the arrival of the Clown.

The clown just nodded.

Now Ragil and the Clown are carrying the Arch. Slowly Ragil lifted her up. For a moment Arch cried out in pain.

Finally they reached the place of the Goddess.

"What's going on?" The goddess looked worriedly at Arch.

"He was beaten by the parents of the three brats." Ragil put his body on one of the chairs to unwind.

The goddess began to predict the cause of the injuries this Lightning Youth had experienced. Apparently Arch was subjected to severe torture. Broken ribs, There are bruises from heavy objects. Allegedly this is a stone impact. A tear in his stomach was like an incision of a sharp object. Her clothes were also torn and wet full of water. So this incision was a water container that was turned into a sharp weapon. The incision was quite deep but not about his vitals.

There was no trace of fire but his bruised face was seen from the blow of something very hot.

Ravalard, who knew about the incident, remained silent. Even the burns suffered by his son, Ragil, did not care about him, what else is only an outsider.

This son Dev Ravalard felt sad over What Arch experienced, it happened because Arch helped him. So Ragil feels guilty for the incident that his friend experienced.

Goddesses who do have healing abilities can heal Arch through a process of several days.
