THE TRACES OF THE FRIENDSHIP OF SPIRITIS AND HUMAN.
CHAPTER 7 (JIWA² WHO HAS A BIG GRUDGE-2)

"I hope that someday something will change everything, something that will bring strength to me, "before this incident happened a few days ago precisely at night Chang yi had said something to himself, while staring at the moon as it was the only one in the sky because there was going to be a full moon, he said to himself.

"I have hope"

"And it will slowly materialize"

Chang yi turned his attention back to Xiuhuan, nodding him and saying "hopefully"

The night was getting darker and the sprinkling of stars in the sky was still visible, but the atmosphere around was cold and silent. Occasionally there was a boisterous sound from the leaves of the trees blown by the wind, there was also the melodious sound of Xiuhuan flute he was playing while sitting facing the fireplace with Chang yi sitting next to him. His voice rang out all over the forest, step by step Xiuhuan passed through every tone of his song. Eve that feels cold is also scary there like it can not disturb it.

Chang yi yang from earlier fell silent now started talking to him. "Thank you"

Hearing that Xiuhuan then stopped playing his flute, then turned to him who was still staring at the fireplace, and asked "what for?"

"You've helped me .. I haven't been able to thank you, sorry I forgot that"

Xiuhuan replied with a nod of his head and said "so it was a shock, the delicate creature that entered your body turned out to have a great grudge against someone. Moreover, those who are currently staring at us also have a great grudge like him"

"Sudge?, "hearing that made Chang yi surprised he was seen turning his head to look at Xiuhuan.

"Yes, after seeing you in rasuki earlier, and also the cold that we are now feeling. Indeed they seemed to be souls shrouded in a great grudge"

"And the sound of screams that we hear at that time is their cry, the cry does sound terrible and until it makes our ears hurt. But if we listen more clearly and do not close our ears, the sound of screams will even sound like people who are crying and asking for help"

"If that's true, what has happened to all of them until it became like this?"

"The only ones who can answer them are themselves"

Not long after that suddenly the forest around them turned into a city that a few days ago they had visited. Both of them looked surprised by what was going on, they saw a peaceful city, the people there looked happy and also interacted with each other, unlike when they saw that time.

"Why did everything suddenly change?" surprised Chang yi.

But in the midst of the joy and happiness that the people were feeling, suddenly a crowd of people riding a horse came and began to destroy the city. One of them, whose leader is seen wearing a gelamor outfit wrapped in a silver armor, his hair tied long he also carries a sharp red sword. The person then shouted ordered his subordinates while taking out his sword.

"Destroy everything!"

Then the men did their orders and began to destroy the city, all who lived there could do nothing because they were just ordinary people who were not skilled in swordsmanship or martial arts. They were terrified and could only resign themselves and not escape because those people had blocked the gate they used to go in and out of the city.

And in the midst of the chaos, a young woman wrapped in white clothes came, she was also seen carrying a sword.

"What is your business in coming here and destroying this peaceful city?" his voice looked very angry.

The man who had previously ordered to destroy the place then got off his horse after seeing it, he then walked a little closer to him and answered his question.

"The city is now under my control and all of you I will kill one by one right now"

"Currently, is it that easy to say? it's like you don't know what sin you'd commit if you did that"

The man smiled at her. "It's none of your business, I can do whatever I want"

"Now come here, let me take your life" he continued.

"Shamefully, you seem to be a very innocent person, do you think I would foolishly listen to you? don't be stupid, sir"

"Looks like you're interesting, what if we fight?"

"But on condition!"

The man began to wrinkle his face, and when the woman saw his expression she then walked up to him smiling and saying.

"Why? suddenly your expression changed, did you refuse?"

" ... What condition do you mean?" not long after he answered the question, but still with the same expression.

"If I win this fight, then you must leave this city and before that you must first pay for all your sins for taking away some of their family's lives" his reply momentarily turned to those who looked terrified.

"Alright, I accept your terms. But you also have to accept my terms"

"What do you want? "

"If I win this fight, right now you'll bear it all and see them all die, "the man now smiles confidently while pointing his sword at those who look terrified.

"Then don't stay still, come here we start this fight, "the man then ran towards him while brandishing the sword in his hand, and vice versa with the woman who became his opponent. The fight of the two was started with the sound of swords fighting each other endlessly.

"Slash"

The people who were there just watched the two who both wanted to win the fight. Seen the young woman was good at playing her sword, several times her opponent's sword tried to stab her body she managed to fend it off.

"You're brave enough, miss"

As both of their swords locked in, the woman swiftly twisted her body upwards and then kicked her opponent's face hard. The man who was in the middle of his opponent did not stay silent, he returned his attacks in a row that made the woman overwhelmed to fend off every attack, until finally his sword managed to injure his opponent's left hand.

The people watching them looked stunned to see the two who were fighting, some were also praying for the young lady to win the fight and they would all be saved.

"Miss Qiaofeng we believe you will not allow this city to be destroyed and we all die at his hands" said one of the middle-aged men.

Back in the fight, it was seen Qiaofeng managed to drop the opponent's sword he then quickly lunged at him who was about to pick up the sword that had just been thrown.

"What are you gonna do?" qiaofeng said, stomping on the man's right hand hard.

"Sadly, "his opponent was now cornered and he could do nothing because not only his hand was stepped on but also a sharp sword seemed to be stretched out on his neck and ready to cut him.

Seeing him cornered someone was then seen taking out his sword and pointing it at Qiaofeng, and that person was none other than his men. But fortunately Qiaofeng quickly realized it and managed to fend off the sword, the two now fought by pitting their swords against each other.

On that occasion the man who had previously lost his weapon stood back up while taking his sword which was on his right side, after which he again attacked Qiaofeng and told his right hand to stop attacking the woman.

"Chang stop it!, let me finish him"

Hearing his orders he stopped attacking Qiaofeng and lowered his sword, while Chang also looked at the man while nodding his head.

The fight between the two happened again, but this time one of them was seen taking something out of his hand, which was none other than black magic. He then threw the magic at Qiaofeng and almost hit his body because Qiaofeng managed to dodge.

"That magic?"it was startled that Qiaofeng could not believe what he had just seen.

"He turned out to be Jiao long"

Jiao long smiled grinning at him who had just found out who he was, he then re-directed the black magic at Qiaofeng and this time his attack managed to knock him down.

Jiao long was a ruthless king, he would not hesitate to kill even ready for his own satisfaction including his people. In addition, he is also known as a black magic user who is clearly banned from use because the magic is always manipulating the people who master it to commit crimes by killing anyone to enlarge the magic those.

According to the story that was milling around by word of mouth, Jiao long was the only person using black magic left. Because before for those who knew of the incident the same person seemed to have been killed by one of the spirits, somehow he survived but there must be a story behind it all.

Back at the battle Qiaofeng who had just been hit by Jiao long's attack looked in pain as the black magic hit his body, but he stood up again and fought him with just a sword, instead, Qiaofeng against Jiao long was definitely not his match. And the only way to defeat that black magic is to kill the person who controls it, Jiao long.

But to do so was not easy because Jiao long did not stop directing the magic at him, which made it difficult for him to scratch the skin of the cruel man. Smiling belittlingly, Jiao long this time directed her attacks at those who from earlier looked frightened and crying, crying, the magic quickly turned towards them while turning into a dragon that resembled a huge, black wisp of smoke.

They looked terrified as well as crying out for mercy to the cruel king, but Jiao long did not listen to their groans and would still kill them.

"Though we are masters, don't kill us" said one old man.

"Master let us live, please" said one of the women seen holding her two young children.

"Not stop!, "Qiaofeng then ran up to those people to protect them.

But he was late and at that very moment the dragon grabbed them with the blink of an eye, after which suddenly a rain that resembled blood descended as if from the sky and dyed the entire city. The city, which had previously been peaceful and filled with the warmth of all the people there, suddenly turned into a terrible city.

Qiaofeng could not believe what he had just seen, he began to lose his balance to stand up and both of his knees fell on the ground along with the sword he was holding in his hand. The blood of those people also dyed his white clothes, he then saw his palms that had been covered with a lot of blood and slowly his tears fell on those two palms. Her tears could not even remove the red color from her hands, and in the midst of her cries she said.

"I'm sorry"

Then an object that resembles a child's toy accidentally approached him and is now next to him because it was blown away, seeing that sadness and regret increasingly enveloped his heart because there were many innocent children and did not know anything to be a victim of Jiao long's cruelty.

At that very moment Jiao long thoughtlessly walked up to him then then raised his sword and slashed down Qiaofeng's neck. When her eyes were about to close she saw Jiao long walking away from her and then riding on her horse that led to the gate.

Along with that everything that was there disappeared and became like the beginning of a dark forest, Xiuhuan and Chang yi just fell silent to see all the events, he said, the two were even seen crying as they watched the cruelty of king Jiao long on those people.

"Jiao long!" said Chang yi who looked unable to contain his anger at that ruthless fellow.

"So she's a black magic user?" xiuhuan asked for a moment looking at him.

The moment before Chang yi answered her the headless female ghost appeared and stood a few steps from before them, she slowly started to transform into an extremely beautiful woman. And in one of his hands he was seen carrying a sword, that woman was Qiaofeng she was killed by Jiao long.
