Although the river was suddenly filled with waves, Gus Mukhlas' boat remained stable and did not move from its initial position as Gus Mukhlas used his inner power to do that.
Suddenly something jumped out of the river, everyone could see a white crocodile that had a length of about four meters.
"this crocodile is a demon!" Asrul's face became serious, he had killed many demons in his previous life so he could recognize them in one look, which made him anxious that the crocodile was a hundred-year-old demon.
As far as Asrul was concerned, Demon was divided into several categories namely Ordinary Demon that had power in less than a hundred circles then followed by a hundred-year-old Demon that had power in at least a hundred circles.
The higher demons were the 500-year-old Demon, the 1,000-year-old Demon, then the Demon King and Queen.
"Teacher has the ability to finish off a hundred-year-old Demon but his wiggle room is so limited that his position is less favorable..." Asrul becomes increasingly anxious and begins to think of ways to deal with the creature.
Gus Mukhlas was in fact undaunted by the demon that tried to drown his boat. Gus Mukhlas poured the power in his sword, making the sword in his hand glow bluish.
The light of Gus Mukhlas' sword was even able to be clearly seen by those in the harbor. Asrul frowned because he recognized the sword technique that Gus Mukhlas used was the Blue Lightning Sword Science, the strongest skill that Gus Mukhlas had.
"The situation is more serious than I thought if Master directly uses the strongest sword technique that drains so much of his inner strength..."
Asrul then approached Grandfather who gave the boat to Gus Mukhlas, "Grandfather, can prepare a large number of spears? Besides I need another boat."
Asrul took out some gold pieces that Gus Mukhlas had given him. "Do it immediately."
The grandfather looked at Asrul in confusion, he did not want to put Asrul in danger but he realized Gus Mukhlas needed help. The grandfather did not receive the money that Asrul gave him but he called his men to prepare Asrul's request.
"Prepare Roro Andalas to sail!" exclaimed Grandpa was loud.
The grandfather workers looked at him in disbelief, later Asrul only found out Roro Andalas was the name of the largest ship owned by the Grandfather.
"I can't let you go alone, me and my people will come with you too." The grandfather patted Asrul on the shoulder.
"Grandfather don't have to worry, I'll make sure you and your people aren't in any danger." Asrul said with a faint smile.
The views of the other ship owners were directed at Asrul and Grandpa, they also looked at Gus Mukhlas who was facing the giant crocodile.
When the crocodile tried to attack the boat, Gus Mukhlas would jump and give the crocodile a slash. It's just that every single slash of Gus Mukhlas did not give a deep wound despite using his profound strength and high-level sword style.
"We will not remain silent either! Prepare ships!"
"Heh, Outsiders are fighting alone where maybe we just watch, prepare the ship!" "If you look around again, this crocodile is not creepy. Prepare ships!"
The merchants looked at each other, they felt they should not stay silent. If those demons were not successfully overcome then their losses would also continue to grow.
"All of you, help them face this demon." A merchant ordered his guards. "You guys, the last week you just ate and slept, it's time to move your body." Another Trader said to his bodyguard.
One by one the merchants ordered their bodyguards to take part in this battle. Some of the bodyguards gulped, not expecting them to be involved while others looked excited, they had been enthusiastic to see Gus Mukhlas face the Demon alone.
"Young man, let's get on my boat. My men have brought the spear you asked for." The ship's grandfather takes Asrul aboard with him.
While on board, Asrul could see about two hundred spears lined up neatly. The quality is not good because this spear is used to catch crocodiles, not self-defense.
Asrul saw that most of Grandpa's crew members had a little martial arts.
"In my youth, the waters here were not safe and there were many pirates. We learned a bit of martial arts to protect our efforts, although we were not able to deal with these low-powered demons but I hope it means something." Said the Grandfather while smiling widely.
"This smile is stronger than I thought..." Gus Mukhlas realized he could actually finish off the demon before him but his position was not at all favorable.
Gus Mukhlas had to spend a lot of energy in order to make his place stand stable, every attack he unleashed was also draining his energy deeply.
After Gus Mukhlas slashed his mouth, this white crocodile demon began to dive because it was difficult to attack Gus Mukhlas face to face.
Gus Mukhlas watched his surroundings vigilantly, waiting for the demon to reappear. Suddenly Gus Mukhlas felt a strong vibration from the bottom of his boat.
"This smile!" Gus Mukhlas did not have time to think, he jumped off his boat with all his might using the science of lightening the body.
At about the same time as Gus Mukhlas jumped, a water tower appeared in which his boat was floating. The pressure from the water tower was so strong, that the wooden boat was smashed into pieces.
Gus Mukhlas landed on one of the wreckage of a boat floating above the river. Even if he used the science of lightening the body it was still difficult to stand stably on a small piece of debris.
"I didn't expect this demon to be any smarter than I thought, it looks like I should retreat first." Gus Mukhlas feels his position is increasingly disadvantaged so he intends to return to port and regroup the plan.
When Gus Mukhlas was thinking of his way back to port, he saw a crocodile demon reappearing. Gus Mukhlas frowned at the sight of the Demon deliberately closing its path to escape.
Gus Mukhlas began to think of running to the other side, but he understood that as fast as he could, his movements would not be able to beat the speed of the crocodile demon before him.
"This smile knew he was no match for me so wanted to make my position even more unfavorable and wait for me to get exhausted before attacking..." Gus Mukhlas kept racking his brain to find a way out of this situation.
In the middle of the situation suddenly a spear shot out at high speed and stuck into the body of the white crocodile Demon, although it did not stab too deep but enough to make the demon in pain.
