After losing Aldi, the Judge continues his journey alone with heavy feelings. He felt abandoned by his best friend, but his determination to fight the darkness never faded. However, a new trial was waiting ahead.
As Hakim reaches a village, he finds himself surrounded by an army of Bugis soldiers led by Knight Captain Arjun, the man they once faced before. In an instant, the Judge was surrounded by the enemy.
"So it's you, Judge. We have been waiting for you for a long time" Arjun said in an arrogant tone.
The judge realized that the situation was difficult. He did not want to hurt humans, but he also did not want to give up just like that. With quick consideration, he made the decision to flee.
With an agile gesture, Hakim leapt into the air and darted away from Bugis troops. He ran at an incredible speed, passing through forests and valleys, looking for a safe hiding place.
Bugis troops soon pursued with vigor. They know that the Judge is a threat and must be stopped. The battle continued in an intense hunt amidst the dense forest.
However, Judge has an edge in his speed and skill in moving in the wild. He jumped over the trees and rocks, continuously moving nonstop. Despite being overtaken, he wisely avoided Bugis attacks without hurting them.
The chase continued for days, and the Judge continued to try to distance himself from Bugis forces. He realized that he might not be able to escape forever, but he did not want to give up just like that.
After some time, the Judge saw a cave hidden in the middle of the forest. He decided to go into the cave to hide and find the right time to continue his journey.
The judge crossed the cave door and entered its depths. He felt safe there, at least for a while. He sat in the cave, crying in grief over Aldi's loss and in the continuing struggle.
However, as he pondered, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching. He immediately stood tall, ready to face off against anyone who came.
Apparently, the one who came was a young woman armed with a bow and arrow. He was wearing clothes that looked like adventurer clothes and exuded a strong and confident aura.
The young lady smiled. "I'm Rena. I saw you on a hunt with Bugis troops. I'm not sure what happened, but I can feel the good in you."
The judge felt shocked and moved by Rena's words. He felt that there was someone who could see past his surface and recognize the goodness within him.
"You know, there's a safe place in this cave. Bugis troops do not know about this place. You can hide here for a while," Rena said kindly.
The judge felt grateful for Rena's help. He felt there was new hope in his struggle, and he felt he had a reliable ally.
However, as they spoke, the sounds of larger footsteps came closer. The Bugis army had found the cave, and they were trying to enter.
"You can't hide forever, Judge!" arjun shouted from outside the cave.
The judge panicked, but Rena quickly moved. He aimed his arrows at the cave door and skillfully blocked the Bugis army that was trying to enter.
"We need to get out of here before they make it in!" rena said as she gave the sign to the Judge.
Judge and Rena immediately ran into the cave, looking for another way out. They followed the hidden passageways and finally exited the cave through the back door.
They continued on their way, with the Bugis troops still pursuing. The judge felt grateful for having met Rena, a formidable and courageous ally. Although their journey was filled with challenges, he felt confident that they could deal with them together.
Hakim and Rena then try to escape from the pursuit of Bugis troops. With strong determination and the help of new allies, they prepare to face all the obstacles that lie ahead.
