"Arayans.. I'm happy because right now I can be with you." he said, holding both Araya's shoulders.
"I-I am too,"
"What have I said? This makes me so embarrassed!" araya said in her heart after saying that sentence.
"Emm, Dae-Vin, where do you think we are now?" Araya tried to shift the subject.
"It seems to be in the highest place on the island." replied Dae-Vin without taking his eyes off Araya. Araya, who continues to be looked at by Dae-Vin, of course, feels uncomfortable and embarrassed.
"Kim Dae-Vin, can you not look at me like that?" araya said while bowing her head.
"Why indeed? What do you want, if I keep going like this?" Dae-Vin asks back, has he almost lost control? Or maybe they have completely lost control?
"You want to terrorize like anything, whatever it is, I will accept" he continued. Araya is out of words. Not knowing what to respond to, he took another action.
Araya put his palm into his pants pocket, looking for something that he had been cantongi, namely gold and Ruby.
"Luckily there are still two" said Araya when he put his hand in the pocket, there, the object they are looking for is still intact.
"You're trying to shift the topic" Dae-Vin said in a flat tone. And that makes Araya creep.
"Upss," Araya doesn't think that Dae-Vin will find out that soon. But his actions were completely clear that he was shifting the topic.
...----------------...
In another part of the forest, there was a man about twenty-two years old, and a woman about twenty years old, standing opposite a black creature.
"What are you doing here?!" ask the man. He was Jeasson, they were dealing with the Darkness Swordman. The two of them immediately looked for him after seeing the purple-colored light that was pointing towards the sky not long ago.
"Well, I guess only those children are here, it turns out there are you too" he said, shaking slowly.
"What did you do to them?!" now, Lina opened her voice.
"What did I do to them? I just killed him immediately," he said in an ordinary tone, a lie. Yeah, he's lying. Hearing that, Jeasson widened his eyes. After that, Lina immediately kicked Jeasson's back knee.
"ah! What are you doing?" jeasson asked after receiving an action from Lina.
"Why do you believe, he's lying!" lina whispered.
TCINGS! TCINGS! TCINGS!
The next second, the three big trees around there instantly fell in one slash.
"W-how is that possible?" they both widened their eyes after seeing what happened. The place that was shady, is now light because the tree has fallen.
"It's just a warm-up" Darkness Swordman said arrogantly as he twirled his sword with one hand.
"The next one is you!" said Darkness Swordman while pointing at the two of them alternately using the thin and pointed tip of his blade.
...----------------...
"What's that sound? Like the sound of a tree falling" Henry said after hearing the sound of a tree falling. Near the beach, the atmosphere is still the same as before.
"I didn't hear anything" Zaaryan replied as he shook his head slowly. Indeed the position of the Darkness Swordman was arguably quite far from the two of them. Oh yes, actually Henry has a sixth sense that can feel the events that are happening, even though the distance is very far from him.
"Zaaryan, you'd better leave this place. I'll look for him, my friends are in danger" Henry said, giving him a serious look.
"What happened?" Zaaryan still did not understand.
"There's a Darkness Swordman on this island, he's very dangerous. You better go to the highest place on the island, your friends are there." Henry gave her advice.
"But what about you?"
"I'll be fine, trust me." said Henry, patting Zaaryan's shoulder gently. He tried to remain calm so that Zaaryan would not worry about him so much.
"If you've met all your friends, you just knock out your element controllers, the portal will appear by itself. Dan, this. You just take it, hopefully it can help." continued Henry while holding the palm of Zaaryan, then give the sapphire to him.
"What's? Really?" zaaryan asked after Henry gave the stone away for free.
"Hmm, okay I'm going. You should leave too. Bye bye!" Henry nodded slowly, then immediately ran into the rather dark forest.
"thank you. Be careful!" zaaryan said as he stared at Henry's back which began to drift away. After saying that, Henry turned around, then nodded with certainty.
"okay!" henry replied, then ran.
"The highest place on the island? Where are ya?"
...----------------...
"Hanny, you better get out of this place. Something worse could have happened." Xela looked at him with a serious look.
"Where should I go? And what about you?"
"To the highest place on the island. I'll go there to help my friends, take it with me." said Xela, handing Hanny an emerald.
"Te. thank you," said Hanny thank you.
"Yes, but instead, please send my regards to Kim Dae-Vin huh! If you've met all your friends, you should just go back, we'll be fine. All right, see you!" xela said, then immediately ran away leaving Hanny alone. Hanny looked at him with a flat look.
"It's still time" he murmured softly, after Xela left a greeting for Kim Dae-Vin. About after Dae-Vin found out, how did he react?
...----------------...
"Kim Dae-Vin, what should we do now?" asked Araya with a worried tone and expression. From then on, they just stood there, just in case something bad happened.
"We have to wait for the others. Here, Zaaryan is here. And Hanny is also moving here, but it's still a long way away" Dae-Vin replies while monitoring his element control tools that can be used to track down his teammates.
"Hopefully nothing worse happened" Araya said in her heart. He hoped that Darkness Swordman would not create trouble with the members of the European Element. Hope everyone can return to base safely.
After that, Araya sat down because her legs were sore enough after running, then stood there. Araya sits down, Dae-Vin follows her next to him.
"What do you think Araya?" dae-vin asked while staring at the right side of Araya's face.
"I was just thinking, what if I've been alone ever since? I've been drifting in the river, then past the waterfall. Maybe I'm not in the world anymore" said Araya without turning her eyes and looking straight.
"Oh that. Just tell me, you're grateful to have met me. And, I am also grateful to be able to find you." Dae-Vin said in a grateful tone. He smiled thinly. Hearing that, Araya turned her head.
"Araya, how do you feel when you're around me?" ask Dae-Vin. Araya put on a confused expression. What does he have to answer? Does he have to be honest?
"Friends!" someone shouted from behind them. Araya and Dae-Vin immediately looked back.
"Hah. hah.. hah. sorry to disturb your togetherness," said Zaaryan who just arrived with a gasp of breath.
"Eh, no really. We are waiting for another. Stay Hanny who has not arrived." reply Araya with a little shame because there are others who know.
"So. huh.. He was right." said Zaaryan still trying to recover his breathing.
"Who's the 'he' you mean?" dae-vin asked back in his flat tone.
"Sister Henry. I learned a few things from him. The trap is always right. So, there's Darkness Swordman, right?" reply Zaaryan.
"Yes, we met him. It's scary." said Araya shuddering in horror at the thought of their encounter with the Darkness Swordman which was completely unexpected.
"Oh yeah, I've got his safi stone. What about you guys?"
"We also get gold and rubies."
"Get two at once?"
"Yes,"
"Well, that's lucky."
That was the short talk of Araya and Zaaryan. Dae-Vin just stared straight with a flat gaze. In his heart, he did not like that anyone else would disturb their moment.
...----------------...
"Ah, finally miss is late already come." said Henry after seeing Xela who just arrived and joined them.
"Yes, you're too late, we're just going to finish him off." continued Lina. Xela was indeed a rather slow member, so she was often late. But, his abilities were already far above the standard of one's ability to control the water element and ice element which were his derivatives.
"Of course I'm late, I have to run a long way to get here" Xela replied with an annoyed face as she poked her lips.
"All right, guys, let's get it over with!" jeasson said so his friends could focus. Their attention was a little distracted by Xela who had just arrived.
"You sure? Four against one, all right!" after saying that, Darkness Swordman immediately used a technique.
ZLB!
In one blink of an eye, he instantly disappeared.
To be continued..
