****

In the middle of the dense rain forest, there were two people who were running with fearless vigor.

"..."

"Raden hurry up!!, I can't wait!!!"

Shouted Alvin who called me from afar, and he was waiting in front of the gate.

I am going out of town today to get something out there with Aurel who is taking me along, Aurel helping us get permission and information.

Then he gave me a map.

"this, take good care okay!" I received the map Aurel gave me with pleasure

"yes, I will certainly take care of it" I said by promising to take care of it, I know if this map is an important object that must be maintained properly.

I then looked at the contents of the map, just a moment to see, Alvin shouted and approached me.

"Ofy!!!" Alvin was still shouting loudly when it was still morning, he had made many people wake up due to his loud screams.

"yes, be patient!!, you are, why so eager to leave." My omel was uncomfortable with Alvin so enthusiastically.

"hahaha you'll know that, won't Aurel!"

"sheshh!, Raden take care of yourself okay" Aurel immediately reprimanded Alvin by hinting not to say it.

I was obviously confused and curious about what Alvin wanted to say and why Aurel forbade him from saying it.

"what's in there?" I asked Aurel and Alvin

Aurel instantly averted her eyes and did not answer my question

"DUST!!!"

Alvin patted me on the shoulder and then pulled me towards the gate.

"let's go!"

"yeah!!! Patience can do it!!!" I complained and let go of Alvin's hand that pulled me, I came to realize that if the sky was getting brighter, I thought it was time to leave, so without a long time you both went straight away.

"Raden, Alvin, be careful there okay!" aurel.

I then turned around and bowed before Aurel, along with Alvin who was following along as well

"Ready! thank you, princess!!!" My congratulations to Aurel

Aurel put on a pouting face because he did not like to be called princess, I just laughed as if this was just a joke

"Well.. You are" Aurel fretted to both of us

Aurel then turned around and then left us both.

from behind he said something to us.

"As for you, you two should go home today" Aurel said.

"Alright, we go first" my pamit told Aurel.

"..."

I was with Alvin leaving town to leave, leaving town for a while, I got good news and bad news.

The good news is, I and Alvin got permission to find the material Marie needed, the material called sernite metal, to find a material called sernite metal fiber, which is a compound of sernite metal, the metal is very soft and flexible, plus this object can stretch very long, even though it can stretch and is very soft, the metal sernite is very strong so it is difficult to break.

And the bad news is, to find the metal, it requires that we look for it at the bottom of the ground, it's certainly going to be very difficult, I'm with Alvin going to leave today, in accordance with the directions and the map given by Aurel, we both immediately left.

3 Hours passed, using the map given by Aurel, we were able to quickly arrive thanks to the route made by Aurenl, the place we were heading to was "the crow's hill" this hill is said to be the corpse of the largest Golem monster in the world, a lot of researchers who explored the place. For that Aurel can provide information about the easiest route to get there thanks to the information available.

I am a little bored because I have to face again called "travel" I have 5 months more walking from the city of hardcall to the city of Masyitan which is a long distance away.

As soon as I got an interesting idea, I patted Alvin on the right shoulder, Alvin responded and turned to him in confusion.

"Hey, do you want to play" I said.

Alvin immediately smiled and he seemed to know what Raden was planning.

"Of course, say it" Alvin asked with a serious face as he approached her

"we run a race how?!" my word.

"let's do it!"

alvin replied that his draw stopped and was getting ready to run, he then hinted to me to march.

I just smiled with a small laugh, after which I immediately ran as fast as a chetah.

"hehehe.... WHOA!!!"

"what!!"

Alvin was shocked to learn that Raden immediately ran to leave him.

"Hey cheated!!! you haven't even started the cue."

Alvin immediately ran as hard as he could chasing Raden who was far ahead of him.

We were both racing to come the first time, Alvin did not want to lose, he managed to catch up with his manager, his manager in the form of a small explosion on the soles of his feet that made him jump as far as 50 meters ahead, I didn't want to lose either, immediately I increased the energy buff on my legs in order to run much faster than before. It's just that I risk the air or dust around me will hurt and disturb, but since I wear my robe, it doesn't bother me much anymore.

when I thought I had left Alvin far away, unexpectedly an attack from behind hit the area around me, I stopped for a moment due to the flying dust that limited my vision.

The dust around me began to disappear and I could continue my running.

just 30 meters ahead, Alvin was surprisingly chasing me and now he was right behind me, he then pointed his hand at my feet. I who do not have time to avoid, while my legs like being tied to something.

"What!!., ugh!!"

both my legs seemed to be being held, it made me slip down in front, until I hit a tree.

Apparently Alvin used his nurse on my leg, this seems to be his new style.

Alvin passed me and immediately left me, giving a mocking expression.

"Hehe's not that easy..!!!"

A little annoyed I will also reply to him, not far away from him, I will show my new style to Alvin

"maybe, how about this..!!!"

I hit the ground and channeled energy into it, simultaneously moving the ground from my front to where Alvin exploded.

"DUARR!!!"

Alvin fell due to the explosion I made, he was buried in the ground until difficulty moving.

I then ran away leaving Alvin still trapped in the mound.

"just watch out for you!!"

This new skill I learned while testing Marie's machine, and making it explode, I used the same concept, where I channeled a huge amount of energy from underground and managed it, in the direction I want.

Alvin managed to get out and then came back running, but this time he climbed one of the trees, Alvin reached the top of the tree, then he jumped up high.

!!!

I realized that if someone had just passed me, I was reflexively looking up.

it turned out that the man was Alvin, I did not expect that if Alvin made a high jump from tree to tree, benefiting from the vast forest and tall trees, he could travel much faster to my side.

I was a little upset and thought of a way to catch up with him or if not, I should be able to force Alvin to come down.

I clenched my hand and then gathered energy but this time I had to control it.

I stopped running for a while, the rods gathering strength to release the energy upwards that led to Alvin.

"Yeah!!!"

I threw the energy ball towards Alvin, it moved quickly, and it was after Alvin and then one of the balls hit him.

Alvin was surprised to see Raden who tried to attack him, he tried to avoid it but the ball seemed to follow him, until in the end Alvin was hit and fell.

"what!!..aaghh!"

knowing that I immediately rushed to run as hard as I could, Alvin woke up and prepared to run again, he realized that Raden's energy balls were still moving up there, but did not aim for it anymore, he realized that Raden's energy balls were still moving up there, Alvin thinks that Raden did this so that Alvin would no longer be able to jump on the tree.

"alright, then...!!!"

Alvin who I just woke up due to a fall, Raden suddenly ran at high speed, Alvin was silent do not believe if Raden could be that fast.

"how is that possible?!!"

Alvin thoughtlessly ran after Raden, he also tried to block Raden by attacking him using energy shots that directed him, Raden could still avoid it but because it made his movement more slowed down.

"..."

Afternoon...

"hah!!.haah!!!"

I am with Alvin now resting together, we both have arrived at the location we are headed, and the winner is me, even if you have to cheat a number of times.

"you're great, how many techniques do you have..?"

alvin asked with a gasp due to fatigue after running from earlier.

"it's just not perfect, I need to learn more and practice."

Answer me with a gasp.

Alvin laughed happily and accepted Raden by giving him a thumbs up.

"You're so great, you've got great talent."

"thank you, I didn't expect to make it this far either."

it's good to hear that appreciation from others.

****

we both reached the crow hill and only needed to climb to reach the cave above, according to information we know from Aurel and the map, We're both going around the hill and slowly making our way to the top.

I realized if Alvin was showing a watchful and serious facial expression, looking a little bit someone preparing to fight, I thought he might be exhausted, I was a little worried for him.

"hey, what's up?"

Ask Alvin

"Radens... We better be careful"

alvin answered, who looked still sweating.

Even so I am still confused why should be careful, does alvin warn me to be careful not to fall from the hill?

"what exactly is it?"

"it's okay, let's just move on"

Alvin replied, he then walked faster than before

Come to think of it, before Aurel wanted to say something quite strange, he looked worried and scared, but he hadn't said it and even Alvin cut off my conversation, I don't know what the two of them are hiding.

"..."

Starting at night, we both prefer to continue the journey rather than rest, yes that's because both I and Alvin are still not too tired, maybe 5 minutes rest is enough, but our trip to Goa was almost there, so we preferred to continue rather than rest.

~!!! when we were walking up, I saw the cave that was our destination already visible, but unexpectedly I felt a threat.

Alvin also felt the same way, he and I paused for a moment and looked around, making sure of the area around.

"Radens.. Look carefully, our goal here isn't really to find the stone sernite"

"What, continues?!!"

The sudden answer from Alvin makes me confused and surprised, what exactly is our purpose here.

Alvin then ran, I followed him where he went, but not on the road to goa, both I and Alvin were confused to run, I did not know what was feared by Alvin, Alvin, someone is chasing us both.

"you should have said that from earlier!!!"

I complained that I could not accept the action done by Alvin because it did not say the real purpose of our coming here.

"Sorry all of a sudden, but we have to hide as soon as possible!!!"

He answered while looking down.

"OK!!, where??!"

"Down!"

said Alvin who had his draw jumped down from below.

There was no other choice, I followed him and jumped down, it was dark, it was gripping like this the first time I felt, why the constant threat I felt, the feeling of fear kept enveloping me, this fear is like when I first went on an adventure.

finally we got to the bottom, Alvin pulled me towards him and we both went into hiding.

"...Dum's!..Dum's!..Dum!.."

The sound of a big enough leg stomp slowly sounded and grew louder.

Without me noticing I stopped breathing and tried not to make a sound.

I didn't want to look behind me, but I'm sure it was the MONSTER that scared Alvin and ran away.

the monster appeared, visible from the shadow that appeared from the front, ascertained its position from the top of the hill and its enormous size.

The monster was enormous, it seemed like it had horns and walked on all fours.

slowly the shadow of the monster disappeared as well as the sound of the stomping of his feet.

"..."

2 Minutes had passed since the shadow of the monster disappeared, me and Alvin were breathing again after holding their breath for quite a while.

"huh.haah.."

My breath from holding my breath for too long.

"What was that...!"

with emotion I asked Alvin while lifting him up

"That was a monster!"

"I know, why didn't you say this before?!!"

Ask me again.

Alvin was silent for a moment and slowly started talking

"I'm afraid you'll refuse"

"yes, that's for sure, but I'd hate to be tricked like this!"

I don't know why Alvin was silent, maybe this was Alvin's plan or Aurel's..

no, I can't think badly of them. It is possible, my condition to be able to come here is to kill the monster, it is impossible right, I was given secret information from a rare stone called sernite stone, which is called sernite stone, plus this place is an important area for researchers.

The information provided was certainly not free, it was a thought next time, now I have to think about being able to go home safely and get resources.

"so what should I do now?!"

"We go to the cave immediately, but we're still a short distance away from there"

"You're sure, that monster is at least still around us."

I said as I pointed my hand towards the hill, where the monster first appeared.

"I know!, for that we must hurry"

"..."

I was silent for a moment, thinking whether I should follow her plan or not, I thought it would be best to overcome that monster first, but since I was short on information, I thought it would be better to deal with that monster first, moreover, the monster looks bigger than I have faced before, whether a monster or a beast, only this time I can know a large creature just from looking at its shadow.

So I decided to follow Alvin's plan, it's the right choice to see from our current condition.

"Alright, let's go" said I, my kembunty stood up to take back the bag and prepare my sword.

"okay, let's go."

Alvin also stood back up and prepared his sword as well.

"it won't be easy"

"..."

We formed a formation, where I would walk behind Alvin while keeping watch from behind and around, while alvin would walk from the front, he would guide the way to goa.

we were finally very close in the cave, but I felt a gripping feeling, as if the monster was always watching us.

We arrived in front of Goa.

"let's go in!"

Nodding

we walked slowly into the cave, but the cave was above us, so we had to climb first.

I helped Alvin climb up, after he got upstairs, he gave his hand to me, I held his hand and he pulled me up.

We were both finally in the cave, we walked without speaking a word, thanks to the darkness of the cave at once this night, he said, I saw a lot of dim blue light around in the cave.

Raden then signaled to me to approach the dim light, I agreed and walked slowly towards it.

Finally I found the light source, looking for it until I got this one big stone, I remembered the characteristic sernite stone from Aurel, he said that if this stone would be very striking in a dark room, it might be a sernite stone that he meant, but the question that came to my head.

"why are so many of these stones, have researchers really never explored this place because of the monster?"

knowing that I concluded that if this cave has actually never been explored due to the monster that is still wandering, our job here is to finish it off.

I looked back, Alvin also took some sernite stones in the back, he then took the stones and put them in the bag, he said, I then also took all the sernite stones I found and put them in my bag.

"..."

"Grrr..."

!!!

I just realized that if the monster was right in front of the cave, I who was frightened slowly saw the direction out of this cave, for the first time I saw the monster that I was afraid of, I was afraid, the monster was deer-headed and was of enormous size, as big as an elephant head.

Plus my distance with Alvin is quite far, we both got confused about how.

we were silent for a moment at a loss as to how, but the monster slowly approached its head and began to enter the cave, it then opened its mouth slowly, the monster then let out a light from its mouth.

Obviously it was a mistic energy, he intended to attack us, I rushed to attack first right in his head.

"Yeah!!!"

The monster stopped attacking and shouted very loudly.

"Quick out!!!" I shouted to Alvin

Alvin then came out first, I then prepared my katana sword, then ran out.

But the monster attacked using his hand, lucky that the attack missed thanks to the help of Alvin who attacked him right in his hand.

I stopped indented and finally came out of the cave, I was immediately surprised to see for the first time the whole body of the monster, the monster was a human body without skin and deer-headed.

I then prepared the Nova Beam style towards him, Alvin helped me by distracting him.

"Feel this!!!"

Nova Beam hit the monster's shoulder, Alvin then attacked it also using dozens of energy balls towards it, until the monster fell.

I then approached the monster with the intention of slashing one of its legs.

but the monster soon got back up and attacked both of us, bursting with energy all around us, until one of the uniforms hit me right in front of me, until I bounced back.

I got hurt, Alvin then took out his secret technique, fire manipulation.

he burned the monster's body.

Alvin's kembungan strikes again using a laser style similar to my Nova Beam.

"haa!!!"

however, the monster managed to dodge and then attacked Alvin until he bounced away towards the forest trees.

I got back up and then ran towards the forest as quickly as possible, I also left my bag to reduce the weight so I could run quickly, she said,

as soon as the monster found out I was running, he ran after me.

The monster came back to attack me by issuing an energy attack towards me, but I was able to dodge it, it was thanks to the forest that continued to block the path and the vision of the monster.

the darkness of the night and the dense tree, blocking the way of the monster, I then took advantage of this condition by disappearing quickly, the monster was confused looking for me who suddenly disappeared, he shouted very loudly.

"Raaaaaarrrr !!! "

I looked around, I realized if there was a big tree next to it, I was thinking of the idea of uprooting the tree to fall right on it.

I then ran immediately to that place without the monster realizing, my kembund took out my stance until the tree split, then used my Canon wind so that the tree crashed.

Eventually the tree fell right on top of the monster until it fell motionless.

I then prepared my Nova Beam style right at the head of the monster, after finishing preparing my style, immediately launched my lever attack.

My Nova Beam hit the head of the monster until it didn't move a bit, I thought it was over, but the monster moved back and attacked me again by smashing the ground and causing rocks to be thrown at me, I dodged immediately but the monster attacked me once more using its energy power through its mouth, until I was hit and bounced into one of the trees.

"..."

Alvin is now in the tree, he is seriously injured by the attack given by the monster. Then he heard the monster roar from afar, he tried to stand up and then headed for the source of the sound as soon as possible.

finally Alvin arrived at Raden's place, Alvin only realized if Raden was not moving and the monster slowly walked towards him, realizing that Raden was in Danger, he then went down and immediately helped him by running towards the monster and then slashing the monster who was off guard from behind.

The monster screams in pain and turns to attack Alvin, Alvin who has the remaining energy to avoid all attacks given by the monster, Alvi again using his fire manipulation style, and burn the monster.

"..."

I finally regained my senses, using all the remaining energy I currently have, I will end this with one strike.

I wielded my katana sword and gathered all my strength in this sword, I realized earlier when giving up the monster using Nova Beam, that the attack had not been able to injure the monster, yet, but when Alvin came and managed to slash the monster, so I would attack him with a sword, I think it would be more effective than using Nova Beam once again.

I then ran towards the monster, then climbed it, this monster realized if I managed to climb it, he then tried to get rid of me by ramming himself into the tree.

I almost fell, but Alvin quickly helped me by jumping towards the monster and then stabbing the left eye of the monster.

Immediately I climbed up the neck of this monster, then I thrust my sword right in his neck, then took it out my electric energy style, even though I accidentally injured Alvin until he fell.

without caring about it first, I had to kill this monster as soon as possible, I then increased my electric manipulation technique to the maximum extent, thus making a huge explosion.

The neck of this monster's head exploded into pieces, I bounced far away and this monster managed to fall.
