Droplets of Night Creatures

93. Human Side

When Shofia dodges, Aruna blinks her eyes at Muca as if hinting for Muca to take Miki away from the place.

Muca who understood the signal given by Aruna rushed over to Mici and took her away from the battle arena.

The night was getting late and the battle was getting more fierce as the changes experienced by Aruna. If at the beginning he only experienced a change in skin texture that began to thicken plus the growth of fine hairs all over the body, then at night the Aruna form is increasingly creepy. In addition, Aruna's strength increased and it made Shofia's guts shrivel.

" Are you really Aruna...?!" shofia asked as she leaped back after coming into contact with Aruna earlier.

" What do you think Shofia...?" chase Aruna while shaking her hand filled with those long, pointed nails.

Shofia seems to be trying to keep away from Aruna. But unfortunately he was a little careless because he was fascinated by the changes in Aruna's form and he had to swallow the pain of his negligence. A kick landed heavily on Shofia's chest and made her lunge to the ground.

" I've never seen a creature like this. Tell me who you really are Aruna...?!" shofia asked again while holding her chest that hurt from Aruna's kick. There was fresh blood flowing from between her lips a sign that Shofia was injured in this moment.

Aruna stopped attacking and stood straight in front of Shofia.

" Look at me carefully Shofia...!" said Aruna loudly.

Slowly the thickened skin of Aruna's face shriveled. The hair grew all over the surface of his face. Aruna's mouth overgrown with teeth seemed to grin and it made Shofia retreat in fear.

When Shofia saw that Aruna's ears had turned into animal ears and her body had grown like a big bear, she fell down.

From a distance Muca and Mici look smiling looking at the condition of Shofia.

" Now he realized who he was dealing with" said Muca cynically.

" right. May Aruna give him a little memento so that Shofia is not too arrogant and self-conscious about his position.", said Mici annoyed.

" I agree. But I'm sure Aruna ain't that bad.." said Muca.

" You forgot, honey. A jealous woman can forget all her manners and compassion" said Mici with a meaningful smile.

" I raised my hand then. You women are difficult to read." said Muca, shaking his head.

In front of it, Shofia is begging for Aruna's forgiveness. While Aruna was standing while staring angrily at Shofia.

" I promise I won't bother the Kautsar again and I'll go as far as possible. But please forgive me Aruna.." - Shofia.

" My patience has run out Shofia..," said Aruna coldly to make Shofia's body tremble.

" Please give me a chance at Aruna's life." Shofia said in tears.

" good. But there's a price you have to pay Shofia. Leave one of your limbs to me." said Aruna.

" What do you mean...?" shofia asked as she looked up at Aruna.

" Leave one of your legs or hands and you can get out of here as far as you want" Aruna said.

" That's not possible. I'm gonna be Aruna's handicapped man...!" shofia said loudly.

" Your choice is only one, yes or no." said Aruna firmly while developing her palm as if ready to attack Shofia.

Shofia closed her eyes for a moment. Her tears welled up her face as if to be pitied but Aruna did not care.

Slowly Shofia got up and stood in front of Aruna. His body was visible due to the injuries he suffered.

" I'll do as you ask Aruna.", Shofia said in a raucous voice.

" Do it now, or do you need help...?" aruna asked but Shofia shook her head.

" No need I can do it myself... Aaakkkhh...!" sahut Shofia along with the break of his left arm to the extent of the elbow.

Blood seemed to flow from the severed arm. Shofia cried loudly lamenting that she was no longer perfect. Aruna stared expressionlessly at Shofia.

Slowly Shofia raised her hand and handed the piece of her left hand to Aruna.

Aruna glanced at Muca and asked him to take a cut of Shofia's hand. Muca nodded then came forward and grabbed a piece of Shofia's hand.

" Go away. Don't let me see you again Shofia..," said Aruna, staring intently at Shofia.

" Okay, thank you.." said Shofia softly as she bowed her head in reverence before Aruna.

Before darting away, Shofia turned to Muca and Miki and said something.

" I'm sorry for all my mistakes. Please don't hate me. I'm not worth it to you and it makes me jealous. Excuse me. Please tell the king I'm proud to have been his daughter. Thank you..," Shofia said as she lowered her head before Muca and Miki.

Muca and Mici look at each other in disbelief seeing the change in Shofia's attitude. They only nodded with a faint smile as Shofia darted away.

" The end is sad, '" said Muca.

" It's worth all the evil he's ever committed." Mici said, sneering.

" Well we're doing this piece of Aruna...?" muca asked while looking at Aruna.

" Just bury it..," said Aruna briefly.

" good. But may I ask...?" muca asked doubtfully.

" Certainly..," said Aruna.

" Would the penalty of cutting off the hand make Shofia deterred...?" ask Muca.

" It should be. I once injured his body and face with my claws. But Shofia managed to heal the wound with plastic surgery. That's why I'm not doing that anymore because he's definitely going to have surgery again. By making it automatically flawed also made him embarrassed. And such a punishment is more worthy of him because it will be remembered all his life." said Aruna.

" Why don't you kill him Aruna. Isn't that easy for you...?" ask Muca again.

" I want to. But my human side reminds me not to do that. Let him take away the sins he committed. And Allah will punish him later not Me." said Aruna wisely.

" Absolutely. You are indeed a good person, it's not wrong We chose to be friends with you Aruna..," praised Mici while swaying spoiled in Aruna's arms which has now returned to its original form as a human being.

" Don't be too complimentary, later I can float..," said Aruna to make Muca and Miki laugh.

Then Muca dug up the ground and buried the pieces of Shofia's hand. At that time Aruna remembered the wounds suffered by Muca and Mici.

" What are your wounds, bad...?" ask Aruna.

" Gapapa Aruna's. This kind of wound can heal on its own. I'm sorry that we lied because we were forced by Shofia to lure you out." Muca said.

" Forget it, I'm Gapapa..," said Aruna with a smile.

" Thank you Aruna..," said Muca and Miki simultaneously.

" All together. That's why I'm going home now, yes.," said Aruna.

" Yes, let us deliver..," said Muca enthusiastically.

" Ok, thank you..," said Aruna with a smile.

Then Aruna climbed up on Muca's back while Miki ran first.

Shortly after, they arrived in front of the house. After making sure Aruna went inside the house, Muca and Miki left.

Slowly Aruna opened the door and snuck in. But his steps came to a halt as the Kautsar's voice greeted him.

" Where is Aruna...?" asked Kautsar while looking at Aruna.

Aruna looked surprised to see the Kautsar standing before him with a gaze as sharp as an eagle.
