EVERNA Ring of Fire

YAMKORA Part 4

"Curly, cheaply!" Quickly and still gemulai, full-style Aswa Rakwar twisting body while dodging.

"You have to pay a lot for it!" While saying so, Nirya suddenly changed her nurse. The kerambit extends to a perfect straight like a spear. Then he stabbed into the body of Aswa with variations from the style of Whirlpool Storm Terabas Selaksa and movements that slightly imitate the style of Spear Spear Spear Dhaka Punjaman.

Aswa's reaction was clear, constantly dodging and fending off the attack with his bending spear. While fending off a single strike, Aswa waved his spear so that Nirya's flurry chain rolled up, as if it was visible on the rattan rod. "Ha, locked!" her cheering.

"Wrong!" Inexhaustible, Nirya kicked and threw both kerambit at the ends of the chain that was not locked. The two energy-laden hooked blades in it replace the curling and binding Aswa's body, then the edges stick on the dark-skinned woman's shoulders and thighs. Aswa screamed in pain.

Instead of waiting for Arumi who was still busy recovering the wounds with deep energy, Nirya jumped up and thrust a hard kick at Aswa's head. The Aronawa collapsed instantly on the ground, his body still bound. He was half-conscious, as if resigned to receiving death which would soon pick him up.

Nirya then quickly pulled back a pair of kerambit chain. Just as he was about to immerse the two flaky blades in the heart of Aswa Rakwar, he suddenly heard the sound of fist swirling rapidly towards him. The perpetrator, Yori, called out, "I won't let you harm my wife!"

Forced Nirya can only kelit away. But the fist hit Yori Mbeko still hit his side. Pain immeasurably, Nirya's moving body was shaken and nearly collapsed, losing balance.

It was Sthira's turn to attack to prevent Yori from finishing Nirya. "Your opponent is me!" exclaimed Sthira, his lightning fist seemed to never recede.

Yori Mbeko continued to sell blows with his opponent. The difference this time is the position of the establishment near Aswa Rakwar, clearly protecting his wife. Nirya clucked in annoyance at him, the golden opportunity before her eyes slid out of her grasp.

"Let me help!" Nirya was about to come forward to help Sthira.

But Sthira rebuked, "No!"

Nirya could only be stunned. Again Sthira behaved the same as he did in Dabongsang. Once again, Sthira upholds the principle of fighting between real men must be one-on-one, fighting for power until it is clear who is superior or cheating.

"Huh, it turns out that you guys are indeed stronger than we thought," Yori said as she stepped back for a moment. He turned his head for a moment and rebuked, "You've recovered, Aswa?" It turns out that Yori deliberately took a pause because she was worried about the state of his wife.

"What's wrong, it was just a study. The power of those two girls won't be able to take me down. Just finish your part, Sang Yamano!" Aswa confirmed her words by darting straight towards Nirya and Arumi again.

Yori smiled with relief. "Well, that's the real Aronawa." He charged back towards Sthira with his Frozen Peak Fist.

Nirya and Arumi take the initiative by attacking together, combining Nirya's superiority in terms of speed and agility and Arumi in terms of strength and toughness.

"Obviously, spies or not, it is warriors like you who must be exterminated for the rise of the Dhuraga Raya Country!" Aswa swung his spear fiercely, attacking two opponents at once.

Nirya scouted from the left side and Arumi from the right side of Aswa. Perhaps learning from the previous breakthrough, now Aswa moves left-right, pounding each opponent alternately.

Aswa thrust a spear at Nirya, Nirya dodged and attacked Aswa. Aswa dodged while thrusting the spearhead at Arumi. Arumi twitched while grabbing her keris straight. Aswa salted into the air and again stabbed towards Nirya.

Attacked from above and scattering to his back, Nirya reacted, dodging by getting down to the front. But Arumi's newly lowered long keris blades greeted right in front of him. Forced Nirya to drop her body to one side, finally the rattan handle of Aswa hit her waist with a very loud screeching sound, making her slump hard on the ground.

"Feel the reply for the kick," Aswa replied while attacking Arumi again.

Must-rise-again-now? The thought flashed repeatedly in Nirya's mind. Initially the stinging pain in the waist made his body seem to refuse to move. Come, rise! Gotta-move-or-die!

So Nirya had to exert her inner energy. Leaning one long cry, he forced his body to stand up. The girl staggered, her gaze a little blurry. But the power of the Healing Wind Spirits he had been working continuously, his vision gradually clear again.

The first one to appear in Nirya's eyes was Sthira. The Kalingga man was still in a fistfight with Yori. It seems that they are balanced, equally strong and resistant to hit. Given the hardship of Sthira earlier, it seems that it is not time for Nirya to interfere in the "fight between real men.

And so, Nirya moved towards another direction. Dhaka looked quite overwhelmed by the soldiers, but his spear still moved agilely. One by one the loudspeakers fell down, but it still took time to scare them all.

Nirya moved on, seeing Arumi being her opponent's moons. The splashes of Arumi's own blood seemed to decorate his clothes and skin that was not covered in armor.

"Well, tough on you too, Jayandra's girl!" aswa exclaimed without even a hint of dampening the pressure. "But, with the end of the Eternal White Peak Cyclone, any wall as tough as I can certainly penetrate!"

The rumble created Aswa by smashing and thrusting his spear so quickly, barely visible.

The biggest problem, whenever Arumi was about to fend off or dodge, the spear was curling and injuring his body from the other side. The faster the Arumi's keris movement, the spear movement seemed to lock, restrict and close all Arumi's space. The girl groaned in pain. Aswa will shut down the manager by taking Arumi's life.

Seeing that, without a second thought Nirya lunged, crashing herself pushed Arumi's body out of the Aswa's cage. Not only that, he fed his own back which was only protected by internal energy, until it was whipped by rods and spear blades.

"The death sentence is now being handed down." Aswa returned forward as both of his hands alternately twirled his spear.

Seeing the stylish action, Nirya again shivered and her cold sweat poured out. Is this a sign that his worst hunch will soon come true?

Suddenly, a pair of lightning-fast sturdy hands lifted up Nirya's body. "Let's run!" That's Sthira's voice.

While enduring the pain, Nirya started running. Sthira's hand tightly grasped her hand. It made Nirya seem to get new energy and spirit, running faster.

Nirya turned her head for a moment, seeing Dhaka also run while carrying Arumi on her back. The girl was seriously injured, and it was unclear if she fainted or was conscious. The Komodorai is indeed very strong, the "load" that he carries does not slow down his run at all.

"Don't run away, cowards!" yori Mbeko shouted while chasing his four opponents along with Aswa and the soldiers.

Cowardly. That one word disturbs Nirya's heart. During this time he and his group never run away from any opponent. The time is still three with Sthira and Arumi, if there is Dhakapun they always fight frontal. Even though he lost and was released at the mercy of the Barongpun, never a step was taken to run for his own safety.

Now they have to take a thousand steps.

Trying to save each other's lives from enemies that were too formidable to defeat, was that an act of cowardice?

The answer was, depending on which direction Nirya and her comrades were running.

Slightly reprimanded, Nirya gasped, only to realize that in front of her a white peak loomed high and majestic.  "S-Sthira, shouldn't we run towards the beach?"

Sthira answered quickly, "We will definitely get lost in the Apukondao Forest before reaching the beach. Just the white peak that's the only way."

"But the air and cold energy belonging to Yori and Aswa is very likely sourced from there! Isn't this the same...!"

"A suicide? It's probable. But rather than get lost and definitely die, I would rather bet on the teachings of my teacher!"

"What's that?"

Sthira glanced at Nirya while saying, "The stronger the opponent, the clearer the weak point."

"So we can only find out the weak point of Yori-Aswa when they are both in the strongest condition?" Nirya frowned.

"Yes." Yeah."

"That's scary."

"I know."

Then Nirya forced a smile. "Well, what can I do. I hope you're right, Sthira."

"Hopefully."

"Because if not, I just want to die with you, by your side."

Momentary silence. I don't know if Nirya ever expressed her feelings like this, but only this time she can make Sthira shut up for a moment.

To be sure, just this time Nirya got an answer from Sthira, "I also just want to die together by your side, Nirya."

No more words said, everything is clear now.

Whether it was death or the miracle that picked up Nirya and her group at the end of this gamble, there was no longer any regret that accompanied their steps.

The grip of Nirya and Sthira's hands grew tighter, the sign of their hearts being linked.
