The Valley of Demons Vs White Snake II

In a forest, there was the sound of birds.

Aska and Aranya are in their respective positions.

The distance between Aska and Aranya is very far, the view only looks like an ant.

Aranya raised her bow. Aska closed her eyes and let out an opening breath.

After a few taps, Aranya released his arrow, darting fast and straight right towards Aska.

Aska opened her eyes immediately dodging Aranya's arrows. Aska immediately ran while avoiding and dismissing the attack of his arrows.

Araanya released arrows so quickly, until it rained down on Aska from the front. Aska jumped rolling onto a tree to hide from the Aranya arrow attack.

The distance between Aska and Aranya is already half the distance from the Beginning. Now Aska was harder to get close, as it was at a favorable distance for the archers.

Plus the Aranya is very fast in releasing the arrows, only one tap per arrow.

Aska tried to peek, to observe the state of Aranya.

However, not yet Aska showed her one eye from behind the tree, Aranya's arrow had already shot towards her. Aska reflexively pulled back her head.

"What the fuck? Not out yet, it's gone... But seen from anywhere, this woman is great at archery. His eyes were sharp," Aska's mind was astonished.

Aska took a breath and closed her eyes. And Aska ran around Aranya. The plan, Aska little by little to get closer to Aranya.

His direction released his arrows right at Aska before his next move. The attack makes a run and Aska's plan stops.

Directly, Arena shot her arrows in a row. Aska avoided and brushed it off. The attack made Aska walk backwards.

Not strong with Aranya's attack, Aska again ran and jumped into the bushes. But Aranya's arrows still rained down on Aska. Until Aska crawled backwards.

Aranya's arrows were chipped in the ground around Aska. His aura unleashed its final attack, the attack darted and stuck near the Aska bird. It scared Aska half to death.

"Stop... Been already. I give up" cried Aska who was still sitting on the ground and raised her hand.

His direction approached Aska, brandishing her bow.

"And..," said Aranya intimidating.

Aska trembled, afraid that Aranya would release her arrows.

"... And you're the winner" said Aska.

He smiled, then lowered his bow. And immediately approached Aska who was sitting on the ground.

"Here I help," said Aranya smiling part and extending both her hands.

"Ga... I can be alone," declined Aska immediately stood up annoyed, for being defeated.

"That means according to the agreement, now I can follow it?" ask Aranya.

"Jas... Sana get ready," said Aska resisted the frustration.

"Go straight away. I was ready, then" said Aranya.

***

Aska begins her journey with Aranya Drwya.

Aranya learned archery from childhood, trained by her own grandfather. Aranya learned archery because she wanted to become a reliable hunter, and her ability can be recognized by the people of the village and surrounding areas.

His archery ability is arguably very great from most people, plus his sharp eyes and eyesight.

It was far enough Aska and Aranya walked in the depths of the forest. But the atmosphere was so quiet without talking. They both snitch each other.

Aska walked in front, followed by Aranya from behind.

Aranya started the conversation.

"Where are you going now?" ask Aranya.

Aska looked back a little.

"... The Black Crow, "asked Aska.

"What?" aranya was surprised.

"Why?" ask Aska curious to see the reaction of Aranya.

He walked closer to Aska.

"Look yeah... We do not need to go to that place," said Aranya anxious.

"Why indeed?" ask Aska with a cold look.

"In the Black Crow Padepokan many powerful people, even the science of canuragannya high," reply Aranya.

"Continue?" ask Ask.

"We go there only two, it's called looking to die. The same problem people did not think about yesterday, maybe they just bragged about the man's manners from the Black Crow Padepokan, maybe the purpose is to make us take revenge to the wrong place" said Aranya.

Aska stopped walking, then approached Aranya and brought her face closer.

"If you know how to brag, why are you silent? not fighting back," said Aska annoyed with a high tone.

Aska stood up straight and held her forehead. Then back to walking.

Confused to see the reaction of Aska.

"Hey... Why don't you talk? tanya Aranya walked quickly in front of Aska.

"Your destination follows me everywhere and you've agreed with whatever happens on the way. So you do not comment much," said Aska annoyed.

"So your job when you get to the Black Crow Padepokan is just to protect me from behind with your arrows... Understood!" aska said in an annoyed tone.

"...I.. Yes," answered Aranya.

"Good... Let's walk again in the afternoon," said Aska back walking.

***

Afternoon.

Aska arrived at the Black Crow Padepokan.

From the gate Padepokan Black Crow, out a group in swordsman clothes and equipped with weapons.

Aska and Aranya hide behind bushes.

"Who are they?" ask Aska whispered.

"Okay, I don't know either" replied Aranya.

Aska and Aranya wait until the group goes away.

"They're gone... Now what's your plan? It is impossible for us to attack openly, especially there are so many people," said Aranya.

Aska thought out loud, it was also true what Aranya said.

"I don't have a plan" Aska said.

"Huh..," Aranya was confused.

"Let's go in through the front," said Aska immediately left.

"Hey Aska... Is that right? There is no way from there we attack openly," said Aranya chasing Aska.

Aska ignored Aranya's words and continued walking towards the gate of the Black Crow Padepokan.

While walking, Aska wears her mask and Aranya covers her face with a batik scarf.

Arriving at the gate, without a second thought, Aska immediately barged into the Black Crow Padepokan.

Inside the Black Crow Padepokan, Aska saw there were many students who were meditating.

Aska and Aranya walked among the disciples of the meditating church.

They are not aware of the arrival of Aska, because Aska wears the Nawadewata Holding Aura Mask. While Aranya does not have energy energy within, so it cannot be felt the air of its existence. Even the higher-ups in the Hitampun Crow Padepokan were unaware of it.

Aska continued to enter the Black Crow Padepokan. Until we get to the end of the padepokan.

There Aska saw a building that was bigger than the other buildings.

Aska thought, maybe the person who claimed to be one of the legendary swordsmen was in the building.

Aska broke into the building using the Tapak Sakti Movement, until the door was destroyed.

Inside the building were eleven people sitting. Looks like they're having a conversation. One person sat at the deepest and ten others lined up against each other.

Everyone in the building was shocked and immediately turned to Aska and Araanya.

"Who are you? No outsider has ever dared to enter this temple" shouted one of the ten people in the building lined up.

The people in the building are still sitting in their place. As if not surprised by the arrival of Aska.

"I'm looking for a man who has the title of a legendary swordsman in this paddle," said Aska.

The people in the building were silent for a moment and looked at each other.

"What is the need for this great swordsman to find a legendary swordsman?" said an old geezer sitting apart at the very bottom.

The old grandfather called Aska the magic swordsman because he was unable to sense the air of Aska's energy.

"Fight with me" replied Aska.

"Why do you have to fight a meaningless fight? Come here we chat, fellow warriors must support each other," said the old man.

"You oppressed the villagers, even took his things... That's unforgivable. I asked the person who took the goods from the village and he said the man of the legendary swordsman who was in the Black Crow Padepokan... Is that true? So fight with me, if I win, stop bothering the villagers" Aska said.

The old grandfather smiled.

"It's exactly what you said.." said the old man.

Stand up one of the people who sat at the end and walked towards Aska.

"About him... If this master swordsman can defeat him, I will stop taking things from the villagers, even I will return the items we have taken," the old man smiled.

Aska faced very close to one of the people who approached him.

The two stared at each other, making the atmosphere in the room gripping.
