Fire Eagle

He looked at them all sharply. Their number is ten people with prana level who are in the Prana Foundation. Defeating them would all be troublesome.

Kala looked up again, facing the Fire Eagle. Kala could not see the level of prana on the Fire Eagle's body, yet wasn't he an extraordinary animal? It could be that the level of prana is different from that of humans and invisible.

Trying his luck. "Fire Spark! Help me!"

"Yeah!" the eagle.

Its wings were bent, swooping sharply towards the soldiers. Of course they were a little panicked, immediately taking out a sword and ready to welcome the attack from the fire bird.

The eagle screeched before smashing its body into the soldiers.

The explosion of fire. The forest instantly brightened in a split second. The howling of the person in pain sounded loud and was enough to wake the bird. The fire was about Kala. Kala had a chance to scream but an awkwardness made him stop screaming.

My body, not burning? This fire is so soothing!

Fire subsided. Remaining fiery bodies rolling on the ground, howls of pain still continued to accompany them. The howls were pitiful, but did not last long, they all died in a very painful manner.

"Eak!"

The eagle's cry sounded from above. Kala looked up again and found the Fire Eagle flying towards him.

The eagle flashed beside Kala's shoulder then alighted on the roof of the tavern. This unconsciously reminded Kala to quickly help Maheswari who was inside.

He ran towards the store. The shop is dark and quiet. There was no sign of life there. Kala saw a shop that likely no one was in it, but Kala still wanted to check it out directly.

Kala broke down the door of the store that was not actually locked. The Fire Eagle went inside and made the room brightly lit by the fire. The Fire Eagle perched on one of the overturned tables.

Kala scrunched his forehead. The shop was ruined. The table was partially destroyed, partially overturned, the walls and roof of the tavern were holes, broken glass and grain plates scattered. After all that, there was not a single human here except Kala!

Kala realized that Maheswari had been taken away with the shop owner's grandmother from here. "They're not here, let's go."

"Eak!" the fire eagle seemed to understand.

Just three steps out of the store, Kala heard the sound of horse footsteps. Kala did not know what the horseman meant, so he chose to enter again into the tavern to hide himself. While the Fire Eagle darted away far away, the eagle thought that its firelight could make the position of Kala known.

Behind the darkness of the shop, Kala could see from the sidelines of the wooden walls. A black horse with a horseman on it was seen stopping in front of the tavern. The horseman suddenly cursed and shouted loudly.

"Sat! Who killed the members of the Iron Tiger?!" shouted that figure who turned out to be a man if from his voice, he also pulled out a sword.

Kala felt that the person was also from the Iron Tiger group. He ventured out of hiding, and his level of practice was balanced with that of the man. Kala's face did not show the slightest fear.

"Sorry, you can hold me responsible." When she smiled thinly, her hands folded backwards.

"Bare yourself!" grunt the man, "dare to go out, dare to die!"

The sword was swung to slash Kala's neck. Calmly yet calmly fended it off using a kerambit removed from the interspatial ring. The two guns meet.

Fireflowers are created, but not as beautiful as the flowers in the garden. The horse that carries its rider passes through Kala. His sword was raised again and his horse was directed to crash into Kala.

As the horse stayed a little near him, Kala jumped. Now the horse was under Kala and his rider who tried to fend off Kala's attack. Kala himself was slashing towards the rider's neck with his kerambit. It was free for the rider to fend off because Kala turned his attack into an attack towards the shoulder, Kala's kerambit managed to slash the rider's shoulder.

The rider screeched and fell to the ground. The black horse panicked and lost his way, he neighed and went into the forest through the bushes. The rider was about to get up but Kala stepped on his chest, mercilessly kicking his head.

The poor rider of course grimaced in pain. "Take off .. me."

"I'll let you go, of course." Kala cleaned his kerambit. "But .. after you answer all my questions."

"Anything ... I will .. answer it," said the man intermittently.

"First," said Kala, smiling gently, "where are the two women you took?"

"Which woman? A lot ... once the woman we took."

Kala shook her head slowly. "Where are the young women and the old women you took from this tavern, answer them or will find them for themselves after killing you."

"They took him, to the shack."

"WHERE'S THE ROOM?!" kala ran out of patience.

"Ad-There is in the north of the forest, still in the forest."

"What are you coming for?"

"I'm assigned. It was supposed to be some of the members who had set this tavern on fire after looting its contents, but they had not returned, I was sent to look for them."

"I feel like your answer is honest." Kala took out two gold pieces as well as some pills. "Take this, don't be and never join such a group again. Do you understand?"

"I understand! I gotcha! Thank you!"

As soon as I leave. But then, he stopped and stared intently at the horseman. "Where's north?"

***

Kala hid behind a bush. His breathing was set to be noiseless. His eyes turned golden because he used the Eye of Garuda. His gaze was fixed straight ahead, staring at the many guards guarding the fortress.

After getting directions, Kala quickly went to the Iron Tiger group headquarters. It is not suspected that this group has a fairly high fortress. On the other hand, the fortress was guarded by two guards with prana levels located in the Spirit Crystal Realm, it would be difficult to fight against those two even with the help of the Fire Eagle.

Kala was holding a sword, but there was no courage to attack. While the eagle hid in the hill and was ready to support Kala.
