The atmosphere of the Outcast land in the morning looks like the afternoon, the sun never ever shows its form, only the glow of light covered with fog produces orange color that can be felt by the inhabitants of the Outcast land.
Although the atmosphere seems gripping, it does not mean there is no life in it. Like a garden, birdsong often color the atmosphere in the morning. As Ririn felt while standing in front of the mouth of the cave, looking at the forest that was in front of the mouth of the Ogre Cave.
"You're worried about the kid?" There was a sound of voices and small steps from the direction in the cave that approached him.
"Humm ...." Ririn turned around to pay attention within the cave and looked at the source of the voice. "Oh Myobu's grandmother." Ririn smiled as she crossed her hands holding the cloth that covered both of her shoulders.
"After the boy's departure, every morning you go to this place." Standing next to Ririn while offering a cup of warm drink, Myobu's grandmother asked, "Are you waiting for the child?"
"Nearly a week he left, somehow in his current state," said Ririn, looking at Donpa as he stared at the direction where Donpa had said his farewell last time.
"I understand." As if looking understanding to Ririn's concern, Myobu's grandmother smiled as she said, "He's a strong man, sooner or later he will soon find a way to release Meldanova's magic."
In response to Myobu's grandmother's remark, Ririn said, "I hope so too."
"May you be fine, Donpa." muttered Ririn, gazing at the sky of the orange-colored Outcast ground.
"Myobu Granny ...!" From a distance inside the forest, there was the sound of a woman shouting for Myobu's grandmother.
A girl ran from behind the forest. "Waaa ... Lupus ...!!" Shouted Myobu's grandmother welcoming Lupus who had returned from the altar of Novajan.
"Wahaha ..., I finally made it to me ...!!" Shouted Lupus as she ran towards Myobu's grandmother and hugged her tightly.
Novajan Altar is a place of worship of Vampires to the god Novajan. Lupus meditates on the Altar and presents his blood to Lord Novajan, one of the Old Deus races in the upper world.
The terms and conditions for inviting the presence of the god Novajan are the pure blood descendants of the strongest Vampire elders or Vampires who became leaders in that race. Lupus is a pure-blooded vampire, using his blood as an offering to the god Novajan. The vampire's pure blood was placed in the golden cup that was on the Altar, right in the middle of the ritual place.
Vampires who had pure descendants had to meditate sacrificing a number of mana large enough to summon the Novajan God. Lupus failed many times because he ran out of mana when calling the god Novajan until finally he continued to practice and try to be able to meet the god Novajan.
The success of Lupus summoning the god Novajan made him gain the true power of Vampires given glory by Old Deus.
"At that moment, my body shook nek." Lupus explained the incident. "The god is coming, but I can't see his form, I can only hear his voice. At that moment he asked about me, and about us Vampires, and then he asked me my purpose and my request, I just said, give me the glory to be able to defend the last race in this land."
"What does the god give?" ask Grandma Myobu.
"I don't know what the god is doing, it's just that I feel a lot of energy coming into my body and it's hot, so I lose consciousness for a moment." Trying to explain in detail, Lupus showed the change in form to Myobu's grandmother. "See this grandma ...."
Instantly a pair of wings came out from Lupus' hip, looking like bat wings that stretched for three meters. "I can fly granny ...!!!" said Lupus then floated as if it seemed to have fused with the wind without having to flap its two wings.
Myobu's grandmother was surprised to see a different form of Lupus, then said, "You don't look like a Vampire, but you look like a Devil."
Ririn who saw the form of Lupus seemed to be on standby removing the cloth he was holding.
From what Myobu's grandmother saw, Lupus appeared to have a pair of sheep-like horns pointing back, and his skin looked like lizard skin on his arms to his fingertips, black skin with long nails, as well as groin to toe, and a tail with a pointed black tip, long wagging behind it.
Lupus, who had no idea of her form, asked, "What did grandma say? This is a form of the gift of the god Novajan to defeat Meldanova."
"That's right," said Ririn on standby if Lupus attacked.
Lupus's voice resounded, like it had 3 sounds fused together. Hearing Ririn's remark, Lupus glanced at Ririn. "You .... Why?"
Lupus's face appears to have two small eyes under his big eyes, with a black line that connects from his eye to his neck.
Lupus looked like he was not wearing clothes, he flew close to Ririn. "You want to attack me?" asked Lupus who saw Ririn on standby.
The tail of lupus is pointed and sharp, leading to Ririn's stomach from the bottom. Ririn's gaze, staring at Lupus's face, was unaware until the attack arrived.
Switch to Donpa who wants to rest in one of the rooms in the Ensnare tree.
"Yes .., I think it's enough to get here, tomorrow I'll continue reading the books in the library," said Donpa went up from the bench by the window and approached his bed while removing some weapons that were still on his waist and thighs, then he put them on the table next to his bed.
The flashback of that memory still recalls, the hatred towards the Melkuera border troops. As if the memory continues to be fertilized to become a deep revenge. Mumbling, "I will not die until I have lost those people, I will never forgive what you have done to me and my friends."
Slowly Donpa's consciousness was gone bringing such great hatred into his sleep.
He dreamed as if someone called his name. "Donpah ... Pwd ... Donnts ...." The voice seemed to be getting closer to his ears. "Donpah ...."
Feeling familiar with the voice that calls his name. "Ru-Rumiaa ...!" Looking to the right and to the left, Donpa looked for the source of the sound. "Are you that? Pasha ...!!" Shouted Donpa calling Rumia.
From what he saw, he was in the middle of a white, vast vacuum.
"Donpah ... Pwd ... Donnts ...." The voice still resounded in the void space where Donpa stood.
"Where are you ...? Pasha ...!" Shouted Donpa glancing left and right looking for Rumia's whereabouts.
"Don-rs ...." There was a voice so close to his right ear.
"Ru- ..," said Donpa who was restrained as he turned to the right side to see Meldanova whispering in his ear. "You ...!!"
"Haha ..., are you surprised?" Joking Meldanova to Donpa laughing.
"What are you doing?" tanya Donpa looked alert then stepped back to keep her distance from Meldanova.
"Hm ...." Seeing Donpa's expression keeping her distance, Meldanova asked, "Is there something wrong with me?"
"Ti-nothing, haha ...." Stammered Donpa replied and laughed forcefully.
Noticing the awkwardness with Donpa, Meldanova tried to melt the mood by asking, "How are you doing now? Are you all right?"
"Yes .., pretty good," replied Donpa as he looked at his palm.
"How's your practice? You can control where?" meldanova asked as she stepped around Donpa and watched him.
"Yes .., I think I've quite grasped the concept of which," Donpa replied as he watched Meldanova walk around.
"Wooaaa ..., really ...?" Stopped for a moment and looked at Donpa, as if looking amazed. "Can you show me how you control mana?"
"It can, but before that," asked Donpa.
"Before that?" Repeating Donpa's words, Meltanova seemed to tilt her head as if she seemed confused by Donpa's question.
"Why are you so kind and caring for me?" Staring sharply, Donpa asked Meltanova.
Donpa questions the truth behind Meldanova's kindness as to why she helped and cared for him. One thing Donpa believes, there is no purpose if it has a purpose.
The atmosphere began to tense as Donpa's question was spoken.
He bowed with a smile, Meldanova said. "Hooo ...."
