SECRET MAURA
The Unequal Resistance
Maura and Ardian walked towards the auditorium with a burning zeal, eagerness to attack all those in the auditorium without knowing what was going on there. They are tired of the terror they have received.
"In front of there are quite a lot of guards, be prepared for attack" said Ardian while preparing his sword, of course it was a magical sword.
"Alright." replied Maura while taking out her shawl, the shawl belonging to Goddess Srikandi.
As they approached, the human-like Jin was silent, with no sign of attacking them. Whereas in the previous agreement there can be no attack before the agreement is violated.
They passed through the guards, somewhat surprised also from the many jinn did not respond to them as if they had been awaited or indeed invited into the forum.
Krieett!
Ardian and Maura opened the large wooden door by having two strange carved door leaves, typical of the smell of agarwood trees is very pungent from that door.
"It looks like Marino has prepared everything for his master, we have to be careful that this is also part of his plan to trap us" Maura murmured inwardly.
His instincts said something was wrong with all this, and strangely they couldn't detect anything from earlier. While Dewi Srikandi and the commander of Arialoka are going towards the north.
They do not know the purpose of the departure of the two, both just leave their weapons and give a little knowledge to them.
"Welcome to the messengers, the reincarnation of Goddess Srikandi and Commander of Arialoka. Haha! Why are you guys so long, I'm almost tired of waiting" Marino said with a horrible grin.
When Maura and Ardian entered they were greeted with dozens of bodies stacked up into one mountain in the middle of the auditorium, the smell of pungent blood plus the stench of the cursed creatures smelled sharply in their noses.
Their nausea and wanting to vomit held their own, until they realized they had been surrounded from all directions. The witches and the jinn joined in a circle surrounding the two of them.
"Where is Dhania, what are you doing?" maura asked without further ado.
"He's alive, just calm down. If I kill him now is not exciting, anyways I intend to make him my queen in this world. Hiya!" sahut Marino with his dirty mind.
Maura growled she could not accept if Dhania was harassed like that, after all she was already like her own brother.
"Don't think insolent, if you don't want me to finish!" snapped Maura.
"It's not me you're killing, but you're the one who's running out tonight" Marino said, chuckling to leave them.
He passed away while laughing out loud and let his subordinates attack Maura and Ardian, all those creatures attacking from all directions simultaneously. At first Maura and Ardian were overwhelmed, but for a long time they could keep up with their opponents.
With martial arts plus the provision of magical knowledge provided by the guards they are able to fight the witches and jinn, the, Ardian who has been in the magical world for a long time is not difficult to defeat them all.
While Maura is a martial arts master despite being new to the magical world, she is able to adjust well. That unbalanced fight they were both capable of facing, having a dozen opponents against them just the two of them it felt impossible to lose.
But destiny was already determined, that they would be annihilated by a female knight and her commander. Decades ago it was predicted that Goddess Srikandi and Commander Arialoka would reincarnate and kill them all.
But they were basically arrogant and haughty creatures, they did not heed the warning and considered them more powerful and powerful than the two human children from reincarnation.
with about an hour of resistance at an end, they all fell into the hands of Maura and Ardian, both of them looking exhausted against the quite powerful and numerous creatures.
But they should not be off guard, who knows there are still enemies left. Their eyes skimmed every corner of the room and were sure that no more of the evil creatures were left standing.
Suddenly Marino came out of a room covered in long curtains, she came out with Dhania who was already hypnotized. Dhania just followed him without being told by him.
"What did you do to Brother Dhania?! Release her!" maura yelled loudly, she was about to advance against Marino but was held back by Ardian.
It will harm him as well, and remember our priority is the safety of Kak Dhania" Ardian reminded Maura.
Maura realizes that Ardian did not prevent it earlier, I don't know what will happen later. He just stared intently at Marino who was playing with Dhania's hair sitting on her lap.
Dhania is like playing, if Kevin and Angga will know about it maybe bloodshed will happen again. Whether it's from Marino's side or from them.
"What do you want, just say it?! No need to use a cunning tactic like this!" shouted Ardian.
Marino who was sitting on a large bench like the throne laughed grinningly looking at them, she got up from her seat and let Dhania sit there alone waiting for her.
"You see all around us, I have made the most luxurious decorations untillable to welcome my master. Piles of people trash full of ambition, greedy people of the world will be easily influenced by us without them knowing they have been trapped by their own greed.
This is the reward for these greedy humans, the property they have is enough to meet their needs and their grandchildren later, until the time they pay what they should have paid for long ago.
My master has given them many treasures in abundance, now is the time they must give priceless treasures to give to my master as a reciprocal. As good as it is not, treasures abound for their posterity until seven derivatives are paid for using their own souls and lives. And now their bodies are decorated in this sacred space, while their souls are locked in a safe place with my master" Marino said at length about the bodies.
Maura immediately thought that if the souls of the lost humans must be confined in a prison in the supernatural realm, where a hell made by Arion Gaharu disguised into a beautiful garden or flower garden was his place.
"And now that you have enraged him by taking out his men, you will then be at the top of the Pyramid of man. Hiya!" keep Marino on again.
" That's never gonna happen, and this is the last time you guys, especially you, make a mess in this world. I will make sure that there will be no humans lost again by you" Maura replied as she flicked her shawl abruptly.
Of course it was predicted by Marino, he caught the shawl with one hand. Making an interesting scene with Maura, Marino managed to pull the shawl and pull Maura to his side.
He gripped Maura's neck with one hand only, lifting Maura's body like a toy to him Maura was nothing compared to his strong self. Seeing that Ardian did not stay silent, he flicked his sword towards Marino.
Marino managed to dodge and deflect the sword until it was thrown far away, Ardian was about to take his sword but was restrained by the movement of his body that felt heavy. It turned out that Marino attacked him from a distance, rendering himself helpless to the point of spewing blood.
Both turned out to be not a balanced opponent for Marino, he was the reincarnation of Commander Arion Gaharu in the time of Goddess Srikandi and Commander of Arialoka.
Although both are the result of reincarnation as well, but not only get the power just like that, unlike Marino he was born from a poor family, it is not surprising that he is crazy about treasures.
Both of his parents died in an accident when he was a child and were treated for care, until the adoption by the de Paquillo family.
Wherever he went or was going to bring disaster and disaster to others, he was destined to bring disaster to others since childhood including his parents and other families.
As he enjoyed tormenting Maura and Ardian, he was startled by a terrible roar. Suddenly he was attacked by a large white-haired creature, whose body was larger than that of an adult male lion.
Aauum! Gggrr!
The roar of his voice rolled up to echo throughout the building until it shook, Maura was thrown down from Marino's grasp. He faintly saw the creature that helped him was wrestling with Marino.
"Gerald.." he said until he collapsed.
Well, Gerald came in time to help them. Though at that time he disappeared long enough to suddenly come at the end at the right time.
