[Araya's Origin Arc - #3]
...----------------...
"Hold on! Hold on for a minute!" arga said inwardly encouraging her. Sweat was pouring out of his body. The pain is everywhere. If the armor is removed, it will look a lot of bruises on his hands and feet.
"Huh, tired huh? If you're tired, why not give up?" he asked as he stuck his sword on the ground, then gritted his knuckles.
"Don't hope! That will never happen!"
"Ooh okay. It's just free to talk to you. All the Elemental members were stubborn." as he drew his sword, he spoke again while pointing his sword at Arga.
"Xixixixi be prepared to face your death." he said softly while emitting a pitch-black aura from his sword blade. That aura is not preventable. Slowly but surely, the area became pitch-black.
"Hey? This where?" inwardly, he asked while looking around him. There was only a very dim light that made the objects around him visible even though it was unclear.
A JDUAKH!
The sudden attack sent his body flung and crashed for three meters. He immediately stood back up, closing his eyes to focus on using his other senses.
SHUU! A TAP!
Sensing the movement of the air, Arga learned there was an attack aimed at him. Suddenly, he pointed his right elbow back and hit the object.
"Oh, that's fine, too.."
The voice echoed and was able to move around in that place. Of course it is able to weaken the sense of hearing, the same sound moves, making it difficult to know the source.
A few seconds later, there was no attack, but Arga felt his enemy moving very fast around him. Like there are many, the original there is only one there.
BUGH!
The attack just now hit right on his back, causing him to be pushed forward. When he turned around, he saw nothing.
Arga immediately raised his sword. Grasp it tightly and prepare to strike back quickly.
The tring! Trang!
Too late, it's not fast enough. He was hit by two attacks at once, on his shoulders and behind his knees.
"Ah, why is this armor weakening?" his inner being after them was his armor that was not strong enough as before. It even felt weaker than second stage Elemental armor.
CTAK!
"Akhs! The heat! Why is it so hot all of a sudden? Uh land?!"
The sudden invading heat wave made the cooling feature on his armor activate by itself. Through a small hologram screen, the temperature in the area was drastically increased. The temperature here is already beyond the boiling point.
"Enable Beta armor mode!"
Arga immediately changed his armor mode to make it stronger. If in Alpha mode, the resulting attack is dominated by water elements, while in this mode it produces an attack that is dominated by fire elements.
Realizing something was different, Arga stared at the ground where he stood. Starting to crack, visible steam and lava out from between the cracks.
As far as the eye could see, the plains were also the same thing. Of course this was actually just an illusion used by the Darkness Swordman in deceiving his enemy. Therefore, none of them could turn the illusionary world into the real world.
Jumping from one land to another, Arga immediately activated teleportation to move quickly. If you could go straight to the real world, it would be better.
"Damn it, my energy isn't enough,"
Finding no energy warning thinning, Arga undoes his intentions.
"Pst! In here!" whispered someone from his right side. Suddenly, Arga turned his head.
There was a person in black armor with white streaks that lit up, standing behind the rocks. Arga approached him immediately. Although he was not an Elemental member, but they already knew each other.
"Darkzhi's? Why are you here?" arga asked someone named 'Darkzhi'. Well, he was actually someone who was part of the Darkness organization, but he was of a good nature. He is often targeted for murder for betraying their organization and instead befriending the enemy.
Such a thing exists, but the percentage is very small. Their numbers were very few when compared to the dominant Darkness Swordman being evil in nature.
"To help you. I know a shortcut to returning to the original world. It's just an illusion." he whispered, hinting that Arga should come down to hide for a moment there.
"So, how?" asked Arga in a voice that was deliberately put down.
"Use my dark element to destroy this illusory world."
"Wait, no. If that's done, you can be even more striking because the color of your armour will change." prevent Arga on Darkzhi who began fiddling with his transformation bracelet attached to his left hand.
"Calm down, I'll be fine. The important thing is that you will soon be free from this cursed place." while putting on a smile, Darkzhi said as he took the core from inside the thing. The shape is as big as a thick black marble.
"I gave it to the right person. This was actually the spoiled element of the other Darkness Swordmen on the members of the fourth generation Elemental."
Slowly the black color on the Darkzhi armor began to fade and became transparent. Darkzhi placed the dark element on Arga's right palm.
"Use it, man." After Darkzhi understood Arga's feeling of doubt, he nodded in order to convince Arga to keep using it.
"All right, thank you, man." Arga thanked him while replying to the fist of Darkzhi. Then immediately put the darkness element on his transformation tool. When he finished, he would leave that place immediately.
"Beware Arga, though the darkness element is becoming stronger in this dimension, but it may not yet be strong enough to face Darkzero."
Arga turned around after hearing Darkzhi's impressed remark giving a warning. Arga nodded as he said, "thank you for your warning, I promise to take you back to the human dimension."
What Arga said was not abnormal. He was serious in his words. Darkzhi is actually a seventeen-year-old boy who was kidnapped and forced to join the Darkness organization. After the darkness element within him was wiped out, returning to the human world was something Darkzhi had wanted so much since he had turned into the Darkness Swordman.
Since meeting with Arga a few months ago, when Darkzhi was originally still evil. His battle with Arga allowed his conscience to slowly defeat the evil nature of the Darkness Swordman, allowing him to return to his normal human nature.
From then on, Darkzhi tries to be kind enough to be hated by all the members of the Darkness organization, then he will be returned to the human world. But no, reality is not as beautiful as expectations.
His life in the dark dimension was even more difficult. His life became unsettled. There, he becomes like the most wanted fugitive.
However, Darkzhi's decision has been unanimous and will not change, he wants to be good. After learning about it, Arga invited him to be friends.
He initially hesitates, but slowly begins to trust Arga after he promises to return her to being human and together return home.
To be continued..
