Our Action Brothers
Black stone

"Hey handsome ain't I so beautiful, why don't you touch me."

A subtle whisper rang out around the tree, instantly all turned alert.

"Devil. Don't expect you'll be able to put the pieces of your soul back together again, if you dare interfere with our journey."

Sayuri's voice sounded a little strange in the ears of her companions.

"You are able to master our language little girl. Ha ha ha."

A soft sound was heard again with a terrible laugh.

"What did you say, miss fish."

Arnius looked at Sayuri in astonishment as well as the others.

"She is a female demon capable of possessing every object in this place, certainly the white of the young master."

Sayuri answered slowly.

"Ten your ears and your eyes, the devil is there."

Sayuri threw a water knife at one of the branches of the white stone tree.

"Burn the demon spirit with eternal flame, he won't be able to return to look for a new body if master has already discovered its existence."

Sayuri said again and attacked some rocks around them. Everyone followed Sayuri's directions, concentrating on sharpening every Indra in their bodies. Shortly afterwards, several explosions were heard around where they were standing.

"Daeji .. Keep protecting the entourage, I know where it is. I can feel it."

Arnius who was already moving quickly jumped to and fro while launching his attack, slightly shouting and nodding back by Eiji.

After several jumps, Arnius stood beside Naoki and drew his sword on the white stone beside him.

The stone that was pierced by Arnius' sword, now began to emit a pitch-black liquid and followed by a stinging stench. The fire began to spread from Arnius' hand to the tip of his sword. A huge bang was heard along with the white stone breaking in front of Arnius to pieces.

Eiji along with Kin Raiden and Genta had moved quickly, taking all his comrades away from the place was no exception Naoki who stood closest to Arnius. They moved as quickly as possible, to bring all of his comrades away to avoid the explosive effects of Arnius' attack.

Not yet had they adjusted his gaze from the dust due to the explosion, Arnius' body had moved again. He thrust his sword into a large rock.

"I'm a master, don't kill me. I'm not gonna bother you, like what the demon lady did."

A man's voice rang out from the rock in front of Arnius. The stone before Arnius had now turned into an old man sitting in front of the handsome man.

"Is a demon like yourself to be trusted?"

Arnius' arm had started to let out flames.

"Sir, I can feel the ability that all of you have. I don't dare, I just want to live a peaceful life in this place. This is where we demons as well as some divine beasts do not want to be found. What made you come to this place?"

"We followed the group who had already arrived at this place. Did you know that?"

"There was one group that landed on the west side of this island, most of them had a dark aura almost like us demons. But please remember sir, we demons are not always as evil as you mean. Some of us just want to live in peace. We won't hurt if we're not bullied."

"Where did the party go?"

"They walk towards the next gate, there."

"What can you say I can believe?"

"Master, I believe you are a good human being. While the party, I doubt it. Whatever they want to do in this place, it will definitely have a bad impact. So I believe master will foil their plans. Follow the black stone, he will lead you to the next gate. But I doubt if you will be able to find a demon who can help you at the next gate."

"Thank you for your help."

The demon grandfather again turned into a boulder, after finishing his conversation with Arnius.

They walked back, following a few black stones that were stuck among the many white stones in the place.

"We have to rest, my body is already very tired. It's gonna be night soon, we need to stop and find a place to rest."

Zora's weak and choked voice indicates that she is completely exhausted.

"I'm going to check if this place is really safe."

Kin Raiden was watching around the place.

Zora is already sprawled on a rock that has a flat and smooth surface, as well as others. They look for each other's places, but still not far from each other. Keiko took out some of their supplies and offered them.

"Close to the fireplace, the night will feel even colder in this place."

Said the finished Genta making a fireplace.

Naoki, Haruka, Zen, Zora and Wu Ling docked near the fireplace and returned to find their comfortable positions.

"Rest, we'll take turns watching."

Said Arnius who was sitting on a fairly large rock.

"Don't get out of the place I've marked with twigs, my seal will help you guys keep watch."

Wu Ling said as he yawned a few times.

"I will strengthen it, so that the cold air will not penetrate into this place."

Eiji's index finger emitted a white glow, and now they were exactly like inside a coconut shell.

"Sleep."

Eiji rubbed the white hair of Keiko who was already sleeping on her lap.

"Little master Ji Ji, can I take your place this time. I'm willing to have both of my legs become the headstool of my empress all night."

Genta sat down beside Eiji.

"You want to be an ice sculpture in the morning?"

Eiji gave a small smile, while Genta sighed and scratched his head.

"How hard it is to get his heart."

Genta muttered softly and then stepped foot away from Eiji, looking for his own comfortable place.

All were already asleep in their sleep, except for the four men who were still sitting on the rock and formed the four corners of the wind, surrounding their resting place.

Sayuri, who was sitting on the edge of the fireplace, was seen several times inserting firewood to keep the fire burning.

"Miss, I know you understand what I'm saying. I can't talk like you. Please convince the young masters to rest for a while, they will face even more difficult things tomorrow after reaching the next gate. I'm the black stone you're following, I can guarantee your safety right now."

A subtle whisper was heard by Sayuri.

"Young master, the black stone says he can guarantee our safety tonight. You must rest, tomorrow is a tiring day for you."

Sayuri looked at Arnius, Genta, Kin as well as Eiji who were sitting in the four different directions.

"Yes, we'll rest. Now you go to sleep."

Arnius answered and smiled slightly at Sayuri.

"Now that smile of yours really does seem to seduce the great sir."

Genta smiled widely and began to stretch his body.
