The Story of the Brave Warrior
4: rescuers

...episode 17...

...-Year 422-...

Malik..

it was getting dark, we both arrived at the headquarters of the Jack's delinquent group, the area of this gathering is right in the North direction of the sluth village, this place was once an ancient temple that has now become a place of ruins.

It is unfortunate if the place that used to be a place for worship and a holy place, is now a gathering place for sinners.

Me and Bima slowly entered the temple, of course we had hidden our horses from far away, we did not give him a rope, so I hope the horse does not come here, and all I want is for the horse to walk back to the village.

"All right, let's go there."

"OK"

The two of us slowly walked towards the temple and entered one of the entrances. When we entered, we saw two thugs who were carrying 3 children, they looked young, knowing that we decided to follow them.

"Hey look.."

"They're kids, what their real purpose is."

I wonder what their purpose is to kidnap children from the village, whether this is Jack or the village chief, if they want to be flanked by all of them.

"they walk again, let's follow."

The two thugs started walking again, they were so rude to treat the children, even to the point of kicking them, I was so emotionally stirred and almost moved to attack them, but luckily there was a rhyme next to me, he held me back and asked me to be a little more calm.

After I regained my composure again, we moved and immediately followed the thug.

Once we were somewhere, we followed him to the temple, after which we saw the two of them put the three children in a room.

it would be troublesome if the two of us were to join together in this embedding mission, jagar could not be known by them, we both decided to split up for a while.

"Alright, what if you're looking for another hostage who wants to be rescued as well."

"Okay, I'll go for a second, take care of yourself."

"yes, you too."

"..."

Now that I was alone, I started walking closer to the room where the two thugs had put the three little boys in, there, I intend to incapacitate the two of them and then interrogate them to tell them what purpose they are in kidnapping the children. When I approached them, they unwittingly talked about something.

"Hey you're sure we're gonna make a lot of money with this?."

"Of course, the boss said if we bring more, especially teenagers, their prices can be very expensive."

"they were sold into slavery, it's an easy job."

hearing that their main purpose was to sell it and be made into a slave, my anger peaked, I wanted to beat up their leader whom they called BOS, but I didn't know where he was now, so I immediately crippled the two of them with my sword, just calm down I've covered my sword with a sword sheath.

Finished after I crippled them, I immediately closed the door and removed the rope on these three tied up children.

"just relax, I'm here to save you."

They were very frightened, even anxious to cry, but strangely the three of them held back their cries, likely due to the harsh treatment towards the three of them.

"all right, you stand up, we're leaving right now."

I invited the three of them to leave this temple, sorry but I will go first, but just relax I will come back again.

just in case I brought these two thugs along with the three children who helped me to get out safely.

When we were outside the temple, we rested 50 meters away from the temple, I tied their bodies and covered their mouths so as not to make Sound.

finally these two thugs woke up, I immediately threatened them to say who, where their boss is.

"tell me, where is your leader or I won't cut off all your limbs."

"what's in it for..... Hmmaggh"

"He refused to cut off his finger."

"Say I'm very serious."

"He was usually on top of that temple.."

done with all that, I immediately went back to shutting their mouths again. After that I approached the children and told them something.

"come home, tell everyone everything, take care of yourself okay."

Have the children go to the village as soon as possible and tell their parents what really happened, and immediately ask for help, after which they leave in a hurry, I hope they don't fall because this place has a lot of ravines and holes

Now that my plan is to find their leader, I can't let these two creatures come to their senses, I'll let them sleep again. So I'm gonna hit them one more time with my sword.

"...."

after that I went back to the temple to head upstairs, upon re-entry, I was sneaking around so that I could not be known by others.

until halfway I saw someone from the left, I was surprised and suspected to be one of Jack's group members.

It turns out he was a bima, I was surprised to take out my sword, fortunately I quickly realized if it was bima, I then realized if bought bima there were 5 people, I thought it was a kidnapping victim. But I guess they're teenagers not kids.

"That's you."

"Where have you been, I didn't find you, what about the kids? "

I think Bima was worried when I left her, I think she came back to ask me for help to save those 5 people, but I think she went to save them alone, you're great, bima, I appreciate your courage.

Judging from that victim who was hiding behind the bima with fear, I thought they thought of me as one of the criminals.

"Look, I saved those kids, you go and save the others."

Without a second thought I told my purpose now to the bima.

Hearing that, Bima was surprised.

"But what about you? "

"I'm going upstairs."

After that I immediately left the bima with the five victims.

"Hey wait!."

"..."

I told the bima to go to find their leader, which is above the temple, I immediately left the bima alone once again, the people said that if there were still no abductees who had not been found.

But I let this matter be solved by the bima himself, I will focus on facing their leader on this one.

this temple has 3 floors, although this place looks more like ruins that have been destroyed, but the shape of the temple building is still there and still stands firmly, even, with buildings that have started to sink by the ground.

I have arrived on the 2nd floor.

but before I got to the 2nd floor, I had to climb up a ladder, slowly while focusing on hearing around me walking up the stairs, lucky that this staircase is made of stone instead of wood, if it was made of wood it would make a lot of noise, it was very detrimental to me.

I was so scared and worried, though,

but not because I'm afraid it will make a lot of noise,

the problem is not that, I realized if I have not found any wrong-doings of criminals, I had worried about the state of bima, I think they already know the existence of bima, Bima, so that's why this place is suddenly deserted.

but that's just my guess, if so I'll regret my whole life for leaving Bima alone.

I'll finally reach the end of the stairs, besides I thought that everyone had attacked Bima, I was thinking if they actually went back to the village to kidnap the other children or left this temple to sell them.

now that I reached the second floor, there was no one in front of just a straight hallway with a hint of light, this place was completely deserted, I was a little suspicious of the current state.

suddenly I was attacked by someone from my right, apparently he hid and realized my existence, fortunately I immediately realized it and immediately pulled out my sword, our drawbacks fighting each other.

He's wearing a wooden mask so I don't know who he is and his face is.

at first I was overwhelmed by not having much experience fighting let alone using a sword, but I finally managed to attack him and get him injured divided in the face, it was thanks to me successfully kicking him when we held back the sword, I don't think he has any experience like me

He immediately took off his mask from feeling the pain on his face.

"Look at you ruining my handsome face!!! "

I saw his face and his voice, apparently the one I've been with all this time is Jack.

"Jack!!!, so you've been all this time!!! "

suddenly I was very angry because I knew the mastermind of all this was jack the person I hated the most, plus he was the leader who had kidnapped my family and the people who were in the village.

"hmp!, I didn't think you looked so much like him."

Similar to him?, what does he mean is Raden, the man who always thwarts Jack's plans and the village's protector.

"why... Why are you doing all this!? "

"isn't it obvious?, this job is very profitable if I sell them all into slaves."

"You kidnapped my family!!! "

"ups sorry, then what if we make a deal."

what deal he wants, what his plan is this time, but for sure I won't approve it.

"Deal? "

"Yes, I'll bring your family back, and I'll let you go too."

"You think I'm weak?!."

After he said that, suddenly many people came out from hiding, and from the sudden appearance of some people who climbed up from the stairs.

I realized that all this time everyone had been aware of my existence, which was why this place was suddenly deserted.

"look around you, you've been surrounded by daritadi, there's no way out... "

"Damn it... "

"How?, better accept it, right? "

"i thought I was a fool?, am I going to believe that, how can you let me go with me who already knows about your plans?! "

"So you refused yes..it's okay, now attack him!!!. "

now that everyone who had surrounded me started coming to kill me, I started attacking them one by one, I started to get overwhelmed against these people, I didn't know their numbers.

I was overwhelmed by all of them, I was hit many times and defended, I didn't want to kill them but they all tried to kill me, I kept holding back, while Jack enjoyed me fighting a fight alone.

I was no longer strong and dropped my sword,

I fell limp with all the injuries I had. Everyone stopped attacking me and Jack walked up to me.

Jack raised his sword and pointed his sword at me. He was ready to kill me.

I was so scared and looked into his eyes with fear, I was resigned to the situation after this. I was so disappointed in myself for being so weak.

Is Jack going to kill me?

As fast as lightning, someone came forward beating many people behind me, he pulled me back away from them.

I realized that the one who saved me was Bima,

Bima who bravely and firmly challenged Jack and impliedly threatened him not to hurt Me.

"Don't forget, I am also a formidable warrior," Bima said firmly.

Jack was shocked by this sudden attack.

"I don't want to hurt you, but you need to remember that I am also a formidable warrior," Bima said firmly.

"A tough soldier? Don't fight you're just a farmer."

Bima probably said it to scare them.

He was still brave and decisive and threatened Jack with my sword weapon.

Bima thought hard about what he should do other than face to face with a stronger enemy.

He decided to run away with me and seek help.

"what are you afraid to pursue."

jack shouted down below.

we continued to escape from the stairs and fled leaving the temple.

"give me what you did we have to save the others."

I shouted to the bima, because our path runs towards the exit of this temple, this is the same as leaving the people who were kidnapped by Jack. I can't leave my family alone.

"I know, I have a plan."

say bima with ease.

The plan that the bima said confused me.

"Plan, what plan explain to me."

"No time, take your sword again."

bima returned my sword and we walked out of the temple together, All of Jack's subordinates who followed also came out of the temple.

When I came out of the temple my eyes were a little blind from being in the dark temple for too long, and my eyes slowly saw clearly.

I was surprised to see what was in front of me.

The people came from the temple to help us.

Even Jack and his men were surprised to see many people from the village coming to the temple.

"..."

"help?... "

"Yes, help has arrived."

I cannot believe that if help has arrived, I am very happy.

"Let us all die."

All Jack's men are scared.

"attack them and save our children."

When the residents immediately came to attack them all, Bima was given one of the swords by the citizens and we were able to come forward to attack Jack's delinquent group.

"fuck!. forward all of you!!!."

jack's orders to his subordinates.

The battle was inevitable, Jack escaped, I couldn't let it happen, we chased after Jack and re-invited the temple greetings.

"stop chasing me, I have no business with you anymore

"You're gonna have to pay for all this stuff you made"

"fucking you guys."

you keep chasing him until we enter a room, he picks up something and throws it at us, until we reach a room, Jack drops something on the ground.

"there's nothing you can do anymore, give up Jack!!!."

hahahaha, it is you who can't do anything anymore

!!!

We looked around and were very surprised not to play aware of the many people who were confined here. Apparently this place is a prison for people who have been kidnapped by Jack.

Jack picked up the torch on the wall and dropped it on the floor, as soon as a fire appeared in front of him.

Jack kicked the dropped item at us, as soon as the fire raced towards both of us, apparently the thing that was dropped by Jack was flammable oil.

"Damn what should we do!?"

"Hahahaha, I'll go first."

jack laughed and left us alone in this narrow room.

There is no choice and we have to help people immediately, it's because this place is very closed, if there is fire then it's the same we are all being roasted alive.

"quickly put out the fire first, I'll try to open the door to their confinement."

said I ordered the bima to put out the fire.

I'm going to strike the key on the door so it breaks and the door can open.

many times I tried with my sword, due to this wound I had, I was a little weaker while enduring the pain.

The fire was still not Padang, the air was getting thinner, I started to get dizzy, until someone came to me in prison.

"sister help me!!! "

Shouted a little boy to me with an unusually loud cry.

He is Ali, my younger brother.My heart churned and back the spirit of breaking the key until it managed to break the urn and open the door.

everyone came out as well as Ali, Ali hugged me tightly, she was very scared to see from her crying, but I was confused where Nadia was?.

"do you know where Nadia is?."

"So, it's not there."

realizing that I immediately ran to the prison next to him, and instantly smashed the key on the door, but I was no longer strong due to the overwhelming fire and heat.

"Malik quickly the fire is too big!!! "

Shouted the bima who forced me.

the lock on this door was so hard, I realized that this key was a little bigger than the lock before.

"shit... Why.this... It hard... Once... Ahagh!!! "

I kept hitting the key, until my sword broke from being too strong to hit it.

No matter if my sword broke, I kept hitting it, everyone was out, but Ali was still behind me

"Ali what you're doing go out there quick!!!"

I shouted at Ali, he immediately ran out.

I started to get tired while the fire continued to grow.

"Aggh."

bima screamed in pain, it seemed like he had a burn. I need to be stronger to destroy it.

"Jack..."

Furious, I raised my broken sword and slammed it against the key with all my might until it broke. The door opened immediately with the thrust of the people, after that I saw Nadia who was being carried, she seemed to faint.

"thank God..."

"Malik let's go.."

bima.

"yes. you go, I will kill them all!!!"

I shouted furiously and ran straight through the fire and then managed to get out through the door that was behind the fire.

"Malik what are you doing?!!...."

Now I leave the bima once more and go back to chasing after the runaway Jack.

"...."

now I'm confused where Jack escaped, but he couldn't have easily escaped, the temple has been guarded strictly by residents from outside, he said, it would be easy for the citizens to catch Jack if he dared to get out of the temple, therefore he must be upstairs.

at once I remembered that their leader was on the upper floor of the temple, while I had not reached the 3rd floor of this temple, whether or not the real leader was not Jack, either, and Jack himself was actually riding on the top floor, without a second thought I looked up the stairs and headed upstairs, which is the 3rd floor of this temple.

"...."

I kept running until Now that I have reached the 3rd floor, I walk slowly so as not to be heard, just in case someone suddenly attacks me again, so that the previous event does not happen again.

I saw there was a room full of light, I carefully approached the place and then I heard a sound.

"dad forgive me!!! "

"you've ruined my plan, my good name too. You stupid boy!!! "

none other than that was the voice of Jack and Hardy the village chief. Now everything is clear, this kidnapping plan is a plan from Mr. Hardy. My anger peaked and then I walked slowly into the room.

"now how can we..."

"Malik you survived?!!! "

said Jack, not expecting me to survive the room.

Begi also with Hardy who was surprised to see me, I was fed up with all this and wanted to end it, by killing them both.

"Hey, malik... How are you.."

"All of you bastards"

Jack prepared his sword and Hardy instantly threw the items from the table at me, very disturbing plus This gave them the opportunity to attack first.

"Jack!!!."

Shouted Hardy who told Jack.

"well dad."

Jack and I once again fought, as a result of the injuries I sustained due to the attack given by Jack's men and the burns caused by me running through the flames below. This caused me to be weaker now, while Jack was still the same without any injuries except for those scratches on his face, without a long time Jack managed to topple me by stabbing a sword into my arm.

"haha!!! you scared the shit out of me, now look at you so weak."

hardy said mocking me and laughing at me.

If only my sword hadn't been broken and my body wasn't dying, I guess I could have killed them both quickly, I'd have had enough of the morals of not killing.

Jack raised his sword from above with the intention of killing me. I've resigned and let him kill me.

"most importantly my family has survived "

I thought because my goal was now over.

with lightning speed someone suddenly came and pushed the jeck down.

"amma?"

My best friend came pinning me for the second time.

"you again, you again!!!"

The upset Jack stood back up and attacked the bima, the bima with his new sword fighting with all his might with the jack, I knew that the bima were not as strong as I was, he is overwhelmed and played by Jack by being beaten many times. But Bima never gave up and kept trying to fight Jack.

Jack was fed up when he had pityed the bima many times by beating instead of slashing it, but bima still wanted to fight.

"you're stubborn too, alright if that's how you want to feel this!!! "

Jack easily slashed the chest of the bima until he fell, the bima did not move in the slightest. Seeing my friend who was lying dying with blood that continued to seep on the floor. My anger was already on the verge of the limit, the, I couldn't think anymore and started attacking Jack without caring about my injuries.

Jack was shocked and frightened to see me go crazy, he kept asking for forgiveness, while Hady got a chance to run away, Jack who knew it immediately pushed me and followed his father.

"Dad wait for me... Getaway from me! "

Quickly I stood up and stabbed Jack in the back, Hardy saw the child impaled by my broken sword.

"How could my son be pierced by that broken sword, what are you, you monster!!! "
