PARHTA: The Legend of Neosantower
10. Mayaras

Partha felt a chill envelop her. He shivered as the air increasingly pierced the skin.

"Yeah! Quickly wake up dong, where I can-can run out because of you"

A shrill voice entered Partha's sense of hearing. The man also opened his eyes.

For a long time he was silent as a person because he thought about why he could be like this.

"But finally!" voice shouted with relief.

Partha turned her head and found a long red-haired woman who was unraveling. His eyes were matching in color and seemed to be burning with emotion.

The man sat himself down and leaned against the tree trunk. He looked at the woman who was treating him with her face bent.

"I'm not asking you to do that, Miss" said the cynical Partha. While the girl was wide-eyed, she thought that this man did not know himself.

"Hey I helped you because I wanted to ask for some of the items that the devil dropped, huh!" he said in a crisp voice.

Partha snorted, her body still limp and unwilling to argue.

"Oh yes. Uta, where's Uta?"

"Your care is asleep." point the girl right to Partha's right.

"You didn't feed him, did you, until he was so limp?"

Partha flinched, instead of Uta suffocating from sharing her mana? But come to think of it maybe anyway, as he remembered he had never fed Uta.

"Basic evil!" poke the girl while squinting. But even so, he continued to treat.

Once again Partha threw a cynical look.

"Shut up! Who the hell are you anyway? Suddenly came and got angry" said Partha who was disturbed by the attitude of the Girl beside her.

The girl is grieving.

"Nyeh! Don't call me a bringel! I'm Dara!"

"Become?" partha who felt de javu, it seemed like she was no stranger to the name Dara. Oh yea! That's a trademark that often passes in TV ads.

"Yes, what's your name?"

"Cheap!" ledek Partha and immediately rewarded a hard pinch on his stomach.

"Awww shitun! It still hurts!" screech the man while trying to release Dara's pinch.

Dara laughed mockingly. "Who's telling you to suck?" he said then let go of Partha who was moaning in pain.

The pain is still imprinted, maybe the skin turned blue? If she did, Partha would never have forgiven a girl she hadn't even known in 5 minutes.

Long story short, Dara returned to focus on healing Partha who was injured quite badly until her HP was dying, while the man was asked to rest just so that his energy quickly recovered and they could get out of the forest.

Soon enough, they finally decided to return to Ki Sadam's village.

Partha held Uta in her arms along the way, she stroked her fur lovingly while looking at her pity.

"I'm sorry to trouble you" she whispered softly.

Grusks. Grusks.

Partha and Dara instantly fell silent when they heard the sound of a nearby bush. His eyes looked to the right and left, figuring out who was there.

Dara immediately pulled Partha to hide behind the trunk. But alas, something behind the bush first found them.

A pitch-black haired man came out from the bush with a messy makeup. He also wears a purple peacock mask. Yep, he's Purple.

"You're player?" ask Dara who is trying to cover up her nervousness. Purple also cleared her throat when she found a beautiful woman in front of her.

"Hm. Yes" replied the man.

Partha's eyebrows swooped down, it seemed like she was no stranger. Who yeah?

Uh! The man was similar to the player who chased him yesterday. Is he dangerous too?

Before Purple realized her presence, Partha immediately covered her face with bangs dangling forward. It doesn't matter if he looks like a jamet.

"You?" call Purple to Partha.

Partha puffed up nervously.

"Eh-yes?" askalanya.

Purple's eyes also squinted, trying to examine Partha from top to bottom. It seems he remembered something.

While on the other hand Partha is already heart gymnastics for fear of insindent pursuit. Moreover, he was with Dara, what if the girl was even taken hostage?

Without a second thought, Partha immediately ran away leaving Purple alone. He pulled Dara's arm to go with him.

"Oi wait!"

As Purple chased after them, the man with the brute personality clasped tightly onto the kerambit in his hand.

Partha's heart was pounding, especially when Purple managed to intercept her. The man had a silent movement, very different from his brutal personality.

"Run fast!" tell Partha to Dara while passing Uta.

Dara who was confused and panicked just obeyed what she said. Purple let him go because what he was after was Patha.

"WHERE'S THE SON!?" sniffed the masked man.

Partha threw a confused look. "Who's Son?" tanyanya thought that the Son was someone's name.

Purple aka Sony growling. He jumped with a kerambit ready to tear Partha's body.

"Then why did you run, huh?"

"I'm just reflexing" elak Partha while continuing to withstand Purple's attack.

Purple grieved, "Yes reflex for what!?". He swung his left and right side.

"Negas mulu nadjong! His name is reflex!" now it's Partha's turn to be loud. The man kicked Purple's stomach until it bounced.

"Stune!" partha exclaimed as she shot an arrow and ran away.

"Damn you!" the masked man growled because his movements were restrained. When Partha's skill was lost, he immediately ran after.

Partha's breathing grew increasingly hunting when she saw Purple coming back with a speed that was able to match her.

Everything that blocked the path continued Partha lunge. Starting from twigs, leaves, shrubs and even the trunks of trees that cross Partha jump.

While behind Purple tried to indicate Partha's ID, but she was outside the interaction zone so she could not see the player's profile. He must be closer!

Damnit. Partha saw no more trees in front, and it was true that a chasm was waiting for her there.

[Jump up Sir! I will guarantee your safety ]

Partha was flabbergasted to hear the sound of the system.

"In front of the abyss!" he said annoyedly but kept running straight ahead.

[Below there are vines that can hold you ]

Ah well, for the umpteenth time Partha obeyed what the system said. So far, his words have always been right.

"Can't run you-"

Purple's face changed drastically.he stared in disbelief at Partha who was recklessly jumping into the abyss.

"Bye! Hye!" partha exclaimed half mockingly and then free-fall.

***

Dara held Uta who was still sleeping tightly. Ah shit, because of the panic he ran without direction. And he could also run away from the man while carrying his pet.

Faintly Dara heard something. The longer the closer. It sounded like something was falling from above. Dara looked at him.

"YYYYYYYYYY!"

BRUK!

Dara fell because almost hit by someone who fell from the sky.

"Please woi don't diem bae!" partha exclaimed with her home language that suddenly came out. It is suspended between the creeping plant and the twig with the body upside down.

"WHAT'S THERE KOCAK!?"

***

"Kang Partha!"

A voice came from the front. The blue-sliced man sharpened his eyes, seeing who was coming. They are the village youths.

"Are you okay?" said the young man with his distinctive Sundanese accent.

Partha nodded and turned to Dara. "Maybe yes. Fortunately there was him" he said with a flat face.

"Ah yes, how is Galuh?" asked Partha who remembered her new friend. As he remembered earlier Galuh looked weak without energy, he was worried that the young man was for nothing.

The man in front of him looked down. "Galuh is still shaken because of the death of his future wife." he said softly.

"Wife candidate?" partha was confused. There was only one victim who died, a girl who was eaten by the devil.

The young man nodded, "Yes.. Galuh's future wife is Ki Sadam's grandson".

Partha's breath was choked. How come? What did he say to Ki Sadam?

Partha and Dara finally reached the village before afternoon arrived with some young men who returned to follow them. Uta who had fallen asleep was back on Partha's head.

Upon entering the gate, the man was immediately faced with an embrace from Ki Sadam.

"Thank God you're safe, son, "ki Sadam raised his teary head.

Partha smiled with trembling lips, she hugged Sadam back tightly.

"Sorry.. I failed to save your grandson... " Said the man who shed tears. A sense of regret perched on his chest that could not keep his promise.

Ki Sadam patted Partha's shoulder, "What's wrong. You managed to save us. Everything that happens is an undeniable destiny".

Hearing that Partha further buried her head in Ki Sadam. No matter what Dara looked at him strangely.

[ Level Up! 7 ]

A notification also appeared. Thanks to slaughtering the Devils there and completing the quest, Partha gained a lot of Exp and good items. He also got 1000 points.

"Thank you for this, Ki. And sorry the cleaver got busted"

Partha handed Ki Sadam's machete which he had previously used. But alas, the end of the cleaver was broken because it hit.

Ki Sadam looked at Partha. "What's wrong, you just keep it as a memory" he said with a smile.

Partha accepted it.

"Thank you Ki... "
