EPS 76 BATTLE OF THE DEAD
The tension continued to crawl the faces of Alisher and the others. A monster the size of a six-meter-long Acacia tree trunk emerged from within the sand with its mouth open. It then devours the body of its victim who has been paralyzed by its electric shock, after which it re-enters the sand at super speed. What a terrible creature!
“Alisher! Take grandfather and all the guards all over the rocks. I'll catch them!” shouting Pranaja.
“Pranaja wait..!” shouted Alisher.
But the body of his best friend had gone far. Apparently his ears caught the movement of two more monsters from the right. The sharpness of his vision penetrated the depths of the sand so that he could see the direction of the movement of the two monsters. His body was silent, floating in the air. Then he directed his grenade throwing weapon to the place where the two monsters were thought to appear.
At the right distance he fired his weapon. The banana heart-shaped grenade shot out rapidly in the air towards the bodies of those monsters. But suddenly there was a flash of high-power electric light coming out of the sand. Then hit the grenade in the air.
“Blar!”
The grenade exploded in the air before it reached its target. The flakes flew everywhere. The explosive force pushed Pranaja's body thrown backwards, then fell into the sand hard.
“Bug!”
His body rolled on the sand several times.
Ughhhh!
Pranaja felt his breathing become congested for a while. As he stood up he saw blood flowing from his right leg. Apparently there were four grenade fragments. Not yet able to balance his horses, suddenly a second flash of electric light struck him. Pranaja thought quickly, directly matek ajian Lembu Sekilan. There was an invisible veil protecting his body. In a moment the electric light would sting his body.
“Heyaa!”
Suddenly there was a tall, strapping figure that jumped up and landed in front of him. Alisher came by swinging his sword. That flash of high-power electric light was instantly absorbed into the sword metal made of pure platinum. Making the sword give off a purple light.
“Heyaa!”
Alisher shouted once more. His voice blared through space. His body leaped high the sambail raised his sword with both hands. As soon as the death monster appeared from within the sand, he immediately greeted it with his purple sword.
“Slap!”
His sword split open the mouth of the monster. His purple light continued to creep through the monster's body until its tail. Then it fell back into the sand.
“Bum! Bum!”
One of the Gobi Desert Death Worms died into two parts with a blackened body. Seeing his friend dead, the other monster immediately went back into the sand. Disappeared without a trace.
“Arrggh!”
Alisher's screams split the space. It was as if celebrating a victory or simply releasing its tension. His eyes stared at the horizon.
“Tap! Taps! Tap!”
There were several footsteps of the guards running towards them. They swiftly stood around the bodies of Alisher and Pranaja. The young man secretly channeled the power of Tirtanala, treating his injured leg, so that it returned to its original state.
“How are you doing sir?” ask Adam.
“I'm fine,” replied Pranaja.
Alisher turned his body. Looked at Pranaja's face with curiosity. Checked his best friend's body from the tip of the hair to the tip of the foot. Unanimous. There is no single wound. It was clear that he saw blood flowing from Pranaja's legs. Ah, it feels like there's a lot that his new best friend is hiding.
“Great you Alisher,” flatter Pranaja.
Alsher did not answer. He simply passed from before Pranaja and walked quickly towards his grandfather.
“Grandfather is okay?”
Grandpa Zyed smiled proudly looking at Alisher.
“I'm fine.”
Then the handsome young man sat down beside his grandfather.
Alisher. But his gaze was clearly watching Pranaja's movements. Grandfather Zyed understood his granddaughter's unease.
“I know what's bothering you,” said grandfather. “It happened because from the beginning you underestimated his ability. Don't judge someone from the outside alone Alisher.”
“But it's overrated. Grandfather did not see his body flying and floating in the air. Then fired his grenade launcher.”
Grandpa Zyed nodded his head.
“You're right. Firing a grenade throwing weapon while floating in the air certainly requires a very large force. But Pranaja does it so easily.”
“There are many things that he hid from us cake.”
“Then what's the problem? Do you think he should show all his abilities in front of us? In fact we will be considered excessive Alisher.”
Alisher looked at his grandfather's face deeply.
“Be ordinary Alisher. Don't be so prejudiced. Because grandfather trusts him, just like I believe you.”
Alisher nodded his head.
“One time he will show who he is at the time we really need him,” grandfather message again.
Alisher walked lightly over to Pranaja.
“You okay brother?”
Pranaja smile.
“I am fine. But now we have a new job.”
“What is it?”
“I'll check the monster's carcass. To ensure its habitat and ecosystem.”
Alisher nodded his head.
“OK. And I will take care of my men who were victims of the monster violence earlier.”

Night approaching. But they have not yet moved from that place. They were still sheltering over a bed of rocks, which spread over fifty square meters. Pranja catches there is still a lot of movement from the monsters. Even more the afternoon is growing. They were still in the sand and rattled them. Waiting for the right time to attack.
“They are intelligent animals Alisher. In addition to her extreme sting, they also attacked with her voice. With high resonance pierced the ears and broke the defensive concentration of his enemy. Then ambush quickly,” said Pranaja.
“Do I have to ask my bodyguards to cover their ears?”
“It is better.”
Alisher stood up and ordered Adam and his companions to cover their hearing with a cloth. Grandpa Zyed did too. They're gonna face a life-and-death battle tonight.
Pranaja made several bonfires that encircled their sanctuary. Animals usually have a fear of fire. Afterwards, aided by Alisher and his men, they dug a trench of protection, then filled with wood and twigs of flammable dry acacia trees.
By midnight, the movement of the monsters began to be seen. There were several sand dunes walking around them alternately. Pranaja estimated that there were about twenty monsters preparing to attack them at just the right moment.
“Kiyeek!’
There was a cry from the monster from far away. Then the movement of the sand dune seemed to turn around. Like a race, the sand dunes moved together at high speed towards the expanse of rock where they stood.
“See sir! The monsters moved quickly here!” scream Adam.
Dozens of sand dunes within a hundred meters moved swiftly towards them. Form straight and long lines to attack together. If a single monster was so troublesome, what if dozens of monsters attacked together? And Pranaja is ready to unleash all his strength.
