SAVIOR
Crocodile Demon

In addition to owning several ships and boats, he was also a respected person in the harbor.

"pesilat, you come at a less precise time if you want to cross the river.." said the Grandfather when he knew what Gus Mukhlas meant to Mallorca, “You see the traders when heading here, right? Everyone wants to cross but can't."

"What's really going on? Maybe I can help." Ask Gus Mukhlas.

"Oh, actually this is because a week ago suddenly a demon appeared in these waters." replied the Grandfather was lethargic.

Asrul raised his eyebrows, he was certainly a little shocked at hearing the word demon. Gus Mukhlas realized the reaction of his student, "Asrul, no need to worry, the Demon in question is not like in fairy tales." Gus Mukhlas said as he patted Asrul on the shoulder.

Asrul smiled faintly, in his previous life he had traveled to many places of course he understood the meaning of Gus Mukhlas.

If the demon in fairy tales is an animal or plant that can be transformed into a human and has high magic, the demon in the real world is a little different.

A demon is a creature that has lived for a long time and has absorbed natural energy. Their bodies will undergo changes, usually becoming larger or having higher intelligence and often having supernatural abilities such as spitting fire or hardening their bodies like steel.

From the experience of his past life, Asrul knows that demons are at least divided into two types, first is a beast that is a creature that has not fully become a demon but has power far above ordinary wild creatures.

When the creatures became demons, they would have something in their bodies that was referred to as the Demon Gem. The stronger and older the demon, the bigger the Demon Gems within its body.

Even the weakest demon as long as it had the Demon Gems within its body would have strength that would compensate for a renowned fighter.

Usually Demon hunted because their body parts become a good material to make equipment and heirlooms, as well as Demon Gems in addition to being used to make heirlooms can also help increase energy in a person such as magic drugs.

The problem was that not everyone was able to use the Demon Gems to increase the power within without any side effects. If not careful, the human who absorbed the power of the Demon Gem for inner power, his body parts could change form and make him look like no longer human.

In his previous life thanks to hunting down many demons and absorbing their Demon Gems with the Book of Al Hikmah, Asrul was able to have a strong inner power in a short time.

"This light is in the form of a white crocodile and has sunk several ships. We've asked the local government to take care of it but there hasn't been a response." Grandpa told me everything.

Gus Mukhlas pondered after hearing the story. Asrul understood the reason Gus Mukhlas reacted so.

Basically, the city of Siguntang Hill is one of the least populated areas compared to other cities on Andalas Island. In addition, the demons usually live in a certain place, in the city of Siguntang Hill usually the stealth can be found in the Sabana Forest and Wild Animal Hill.

If this is the city of Gandus then this incident is not too surprising because there are so many stealth numbers that the martial world there are able to maintain stealth and make stealth as their fighting force.

The only reason the city of Gandus, so powerful, could not yet rule the entire island of Andalas, was because they were preoccupied with endless stealth problems.

"It is impossible for a demon to appear suddenly for no reason." murmured Gus Mukhlas quietly.

Asrul agrees with Gus Mukhlas, but on the other hand there should be no group in the city of Gandus who is able to control the demon and they release it in this river also do not benefit unless there is someone they want to hinder.

Gus Mukhlas finally decided to check directly on this crocodile demon, "Uncle, I want to buy a small boat to check these waters."

When Gus Mukhlas took out the gold coins, the grandfather refused the money.

"File, you want to help us and just checking out the creature means taking a big risk. I don't dare accept your money."

Gus Mukhlas nodded slowly, he was glad that at least this grandfather had a good understanding so it was not in vain if Gus Mukhlas helped them.

"Teacher, let me help you." Asrul was excited but of course Gus Mukhlas rejected the idea.

"Asrul, Master will go alone.." Gus Mukhlas gently stroked Asrul's head.

Suppose that this tangible creature is indeed a demon, not necessarily Gus Mukhlas can face him in the middle of the river but Gus Mukhlas sure still want to escape if the situation is dangerous it will only be difficult for him if Asrul comes with him.

The harbor became crowded when word of Gus Mukhlas going to sail to find stealth crocodiles spread. The traders became enthusiastic when they found out that Gus Mukhlas was a famous fighter.

"Father turban from Mount Siguntang, I never thought I could see it in this place!"

"I have long heard of Imam Gus Mukhlas, he is so young yet so talented."

"Look at his bravery, he's a real fighter."

Asrul's ears became a little itchy as all these merchants praised his teacher but he understood the reason they all said so in hoping that Gus Mukhlas could solve their problems.

Gus Mukhlas boarded a small boat and began rowing. Asrul along with everyone else looked at him with all sorts of feelings, Asrul felt quite worried.

"I'm sure Master has the ability to deal with demons but water creatures like this are difficult to deal with in his place of power..." Asrul could only hope that everything would be fine.

Gus Mukhlas kept rowing, he had crossed half the river but nothing happened. Gus Mukhlas stopped his boat in the middle of the river and began to look around with a sword in hand. Gus Mukhlas waited for a while but nothing happened.

"Is it possible that the demon is gone?"

"It could be, this river is so long, there's no reason she keeps living around here." Some people began to discuss when they saw the river before them so calm. Asrul could hear there were ship owners who intended to start crossing passengers.

"Thankfully not ad-..." Asrul just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief when suddenly the river in front of him shook violently and caused waves.

Many people became hysterical and moved away from the riverbank but Asrul remained standing in his place. Asrul's view was glued to Gus Mukhlas' boat.
