According to Damar, the path they will pass is in the area of Mount Merapi. Pandji drove the black barion at Damar's direction with a serious face. The casted magic spell was able to bring her body as well as Mika to switch dimensions upon entering the magical gate which was basically everywhere although it could not be detected by normal eyes.

Entering the pine forest fringe region on the mountain slope, which is the border between the human world and the world of darkness where the demon kingdom, Pandji breathed more heavily. He had not never wandered into other realms, but the place he was going to was completely different, both his aura and pressure.

The first time Pandji discovered when he began to cross the next realm was a path that gave off black light, clouding the originally bright view to become more gloomy.

Pandji turned left and right, and back to make sure the path he was walking was right even though what appeared in his eyes was only darkness.

"Mika, do you think the road to the world of death is like this?" Pandji asked in a murmur. A little lucky to have a friend he talked to from the human race.

"The road of death is not dark, but full of light!" mika whispered answered Pandji's question. The path was indeed gripping, but deep inside Mika said that she was not afraid. He had gone through a darkest time that was far worse than he felt now.

Pandji felt his body warmer as he crossed the path. A strange and shuddering sensation began to be felt when the end of the road revealed a large hallway that was completely dark without light.

"Are we going to get sucked in that black energy vortex, Damar?"

"First off, we're going to follow the dark wind stream into the black forest." Damar Jati closed his eyes and cast a dark magic spell to fortify himself and Pandji from the pressure that might be very painful when the track occurs later.

Pandji still once again looked back to see the path he had just passed, unfortunately the gloomy path had disappeared somewhere. The new Pandji wanted to complain about it to Damar Jati but was stopped because the walls of the passage were strangely moving and released enormous energy which pulled Pandji and Mika and his barion into the vortex with great ease.

Mika's small squeals and stifled growls from the barion made Pandji open his eyes wide. They spun as fast as being in a giant milling machine without being able to see anything, just moments before crashing down in another dark place filled with a grove of black-colored trees.

Pandji and Mika squinted their eyes, they fell on the hard plains scented like rusty iron. Try to align the view with the darkness around it. Not only the eyes, they also began to regulate their breath and energy to withstand the pitch-black aura that came out from within the forest.

Pandji ignored the pain all over his body, he focused more on Mika who was still stupefied.

“How are you doing?" tanya Pandji is like a whisper.

"Alright, just need to adjust for a moment!" Mika closed her eyes, pumping mana so that both eyes could function properly.

The cold air froze the bones, but occasionally it was much hotter than the normal temperature of the city of Yogya. “Very strange weather, can suddenly hurt if this keeps the situation! Are you okay, buddy?”

Barion Pandji roars low, looking down to lick Pandji's hand which holds his muzzle. Tell him he has no problem being in the black forest.

"My eyes function better here" Mika murmured softly.

"Of course, that eye will rise in strength where its energy comes from." Damar Jati lightly answered Mika's confusion.

"God! So …." Mika was stunned to realize that inside her body was also flowing energy from the world of darkness. That was why he felt familiar with strange things beyond his reach, his little heart always said that he had passed through or lived in the same world as Damar Jati.

"Part of your energy belongs to my wife, Asih Jati. He is familiar with the darkness, because I have indeed come from here, and my dark energy is sucked up a lot," Damar Jati explained briefly. Answering all the questions Mika did not throw out.

“All right now I understand, but does that mean that I'm part of the demon of darkness?"

"Not really! Man always has a choice in his life, actually black and white is always in us," said Pandji origin. The Romo Guru's words he heard lazily seemed fitting to answer Mika's question about who she was.

"I think when Mas Pandji yawns when he hears the fairy tale of Father Guru, he evaporates all his tips. I guess I was wrong!" Damar Jati chuckled, she heard that sentence a thousand times while accompanying Father Master. The magic words that changed Damar became a little wiser in living his life as an heirloom spirit.

Pandji raised both eyebrows to see Damar Jati manifest in front of him, "Why did you appear, Damar? Aren't you a fugitive here?"

"This place is safe and far from the demon kingdom, this is where I hid before Mpu Sapta was found. I will hunt and find food for Mas Pandji and Mika!" Damar Jati nodded with a slight bow, waiting for Pandji to give his approval.

"So this is what we call a black forest? Well, maybe I'll meditate while I wait for you to come back!" Pandji follows Damar's steps leading him to a large tree with a unique shape as there is a tree house hidden on it.

"Sendiko Mas Pandji, I say goodbye! I borrowed the black sports car!" The aura of Damar Jati and Barion Pandji disappeared shortly after his sentence was spoken, leaving two people who were stunned to observe the entire forest from the top of the tree.

"All the eyes of these forest dwellers are blood red, just like your eyes are now, Mika!"

Mika nodded in agreement, her eyes becoming very wary of seeing the slightest prowess around. "They're also on the lookout, but this place is shrouded in the dark shield of Damar Jati. They did not dare to approach!"

"I'll meditate now, if the food is there wake me up!" Pandji thought briefly, what would Damar Jati bring for him?! Silumankah meat or tubers from strange trees in the forest?
