KEEP BUANA (Rise of Darkness)

There's No Way to Run

Hao Lim was astonished to find that his almost serratus percent strength attack only caused a charred effect on the clothes of the short guard who floated in front of him. It did not cause any injuries to his opponent's skin.

“No need for you to interfere! Let me take care of this woman!” The short guard snorted fiercely then immediately charged towards Hao Lim. The other three bodyguards who had already stepped forward retreated back to the back of the red-robed female.

The sound of the floor crackling, the ground and dust splashed into the air as the footprints of the short guard landed on the floor, smashing into the former point Hao Lim stood before. Hao Lim managed to dodge at critical moments. His heart beat rapidly as he turned towards the stone floor that was now forming a basin due to the lunge of the short guard.

‘What happens if the attack hits me?’ a little anxious, Hao Lim tried to calm himself down by taking a deep breath.

But, of course the short bodyguard that had been shrouded in murderous lust did not let Hao Lim really be able to take a breath for a moment. As fast as the blink of an eye, the burly hand of the short guard man had struck towards Hao Lim's face. Almost a big fist hit his father's face if Hao Lim was a split second late to put his face back.

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of the man's lips, then without having anticipated Hao Lim, somehow the man's left hand had managed to grip Hao Lim's neck hard.

Sensing the danger, Hao Lim immediately kicked the short bodyguard face reflexively. Then his body went into the air to take some distance from the short guard. Unfortunately, his speed and strength were indeed incomparable to his opponent.

His kick on the short bodyguard's face actually landed perfectly, but it wasn't enough to make his opponent hurt. The short bodyguard only retreated a single step and released his grip as it was slightly surprised by the reaction he received.

Just as Hao Lim had just landed back on the floor, a fist strike landed on his chest.

‘BRAG!!’

There was a sound like a broken bone when the barely visible fist landed on Hao Lim's chest, followed by Hao Lim's body being thrown backwards into the wall and making the wall collapse with him.

Blood spurted from Hao Lim's mouth. The woman clearly suffered internal injuries.

Trying to rise up among the ruins of the training wall with a sigh of astonishment, the former Matriarch collapsed again. Helpless.

“Hahahahaha….!! “ The laughter of the red-robed lady with a shrill voice sounded “It turns out to be true, the warriors of this primitive world are all weak! In two days, we have defeated nearly a hundred of their strongest people.Hahahahahaha…!! Pandak Lima, Quickly insert the woman into the cloud basket!” he continued to give orders.

The short bodyguard stepped over Hao Lim's weakly drooping body with bloodstains around his upper body. Without a fight, the man called by the name of Pandak Lima grabbed hold of Hao Lim's hair and threw it towards his companion, a stocky bodyguard with a blood crescent tattoo near his eyes. The blood moon tattooed man greeted him by taking out a pouch-shaped object no more than twice the size of an adult's palm, opening it wide and…

‘Zuuuuut!’

Hao Lim's body disappeared along with the pouch that seemed to be made of tiger skin shone brightly, then returned to its original state. Ordinary looking tiger skin bags.

“Mr Princess, it seems like in this primitive world we will not get results that match our expectations. Shouldn't we just go back to Lemuria? After all, Dath's energy in this place was so thin” a bodyguard, the white-haired old man behind the red-robed woman put forth his opinion.

“No need. After all, we can't go home until the shortcut mirror is done repairing itself. We should continue our hunt. We need to gather as many warriors as possible in this world. As per the initial goal, I want to prove to father that raising warriors is more profitable than hunting wild animals in the forest!” Refute the princess firmly.

They were part of the Red Telegu group. The woman called ‘tuan putri’ was none other than Centini, a figure who was being sought by Salidoni, his brother-in-law. Centini was the daughter of the Red Telegu chief's student.

These five people had heard, that some of the great criminals of Lemuria were rumored to have fled to the world they called this primitive world. That, led Centini to believe, that the primitive world that is often described as a place of escape must have many resources that they need in living a bathing man.

‘In fact, even this place is lacking in dath energy!’ lamented Centini When he realized his choice of adventure into this world is not entirely true.

Centini, assuming that god gems and stealth gems will be more profitable if produced from ‘breed’ the warriors. Of course, the swordsman Centini meant was a black swordsman.

Centini's insights were not very broad about the swordsman's world, so he assumed that all warriors increase their strength by sucking out the essence of a stealth gem or a god's gem alone. According to him, as long as a swordsman implanted a stealth gem on him, after the crystal formation stage passed, then harvesting could be done. More practical and certainly cheaper and easier. According him.

Ignoring the fact that humans are not animals that are not very good at strategy. One day, Centini will realize his mistake and regret it all his life.

Meanwhile, in Lemuria, Anjani attempts to escape from Hang Kelana. The skinny old man did not seem to want to let go of Anjani and Gentayu just like that before the two died. Not after Hang Kelana feels both disrupt and ruin the whole plan and careful preparation that has been drawn up over the years.

By carrying Gentayu's body that is no longer conscious, Anjani continues to try to widen the distance with Hang Kelana.

Unconcerned by the difference in strength between them, Anjani's might shot upwards, piercing through the dense fog that covered the view. Not to really go back to where it was, because Anjani realized with his current strength surely Hang Kelana would soon catch up with him.

Actually, Anjani is just playing a trick to escape death, at least for a while. With a little trick, Anjani finally managed to outwit the skinny old man.

Anjani indeed shot up, but after being in the fog, Anjani turned his direction towards the other side of the cliff and immediately put Gentayu on a wide piece of rock that was found in one of the cliff overdrafts. Intentionally not using the science of disappearing, because surely the energy path he released will be detected by his opponent.

Hang Kelana who was indeed unable to detect the aura of energy both of them immediately lost track. But the man did not give up. Turning into a white light, his body darted away from the abyss intent on chasing after Anjani and Gentayu who he thought had returned to the top of the abyss.
