KEEP BUANA (Rise of Darkness)

Spider Hill

It took Gentayu the next two weeks to truly align himself with his newfound strength.

The energy he absorbed from the two banaspati creatures was truly immense.

In those two weeks, Gentayu almost lost consciousness because it forced to absorb all the power. Many times Gentayu also had bleeding in his nose, eyes and ears.

But finally, after experiencing the critical period Gentayu managed to complete the alignment.

An incredible power was now emanating from his body. The power of the earth warrior peak!

Gentayu is currently at level 9 Earth Swordsman, the distance to climb the level of the Sky Swordsman is only as thin as a thread. It was because Gentayu deliberately delayed to break through the level of the Sky Swordsman.

In fact, the energy reserves stored in his body were still enormous and were more than enough to bring him through to the level of a Sky Swordsman.

Unfortunately, in order to rise to the level of a celestial swordsman he would have to get an outside boost so that his level rise would not harm his body.

‘I have to go through a fight with a power that is as high as above me. That's the push I need right now. Before that, I will train my current strength to fight against the demons at the earth swordsman level. At least, I can gather enough food for my pets.’.

Gentayu immediately got up and darted leaving the cave owned by Gola Ijo. The goal is a deeper part of the forest where silver-legged wolves meet.

Actually, Gentayu wanted to meet with Gola Ijo before starting the hunt. Many things he wanted to ask, or at least he could thank him for the creature's help so far.

But until now, Gola Ijo has not returned.

Of course, Gentayu does not know that Gola Ijo is currently under the supervision of the Light God Haruta after the battle against Mislan Katili.

No one knows how he is now.

It didn't take long, Gentayu had reached the location where he had met the silver wolf herd before.

In this place, the atmosphere looked slightly different to the situation the last time he was there before.

The smell of water filled the air. It seemed, a great massacre had not long occurred in this place.

The remains of dried blood spouts were seen on some trees, shrubs and rocks. Blood of various colors. From red, green to black. Making Gentayu believe that it is all the blood of the demon animals in this place.

The dried up blood according to Gentayu indicates that the massacre took place not long ago.

Likely, if he was lucky he would be able to meet the slaughterer.

Gentayu's hunch did not miss too far.

The hoops of the horses accompanied by human shouts sounded not far from where they were.

Without waiting any longer, Gentayu immediately darted towards the highest peak of the tree in that place to ascertain the situation.

Gentayu chose a sprout of wild golden teak trees sticking out among the other groves of trees. Like a large bird, both legs are able to perch on the shoots of teak leaves without falling. This was the next level of his Wind Step moves. The pace of lightening the body that used to play a role to make it escape when pursued, and stalking opponents when pursuing.

From the top of the tree, Gentayu watched five horsemen in armor and weapons surround a giant black spider. Not far from the siege, about two dozen men in full armor and weapons were seen closely escorting a young man dressed in luxury.

The young man continuously gave orders with his shouts and hand gestures. Seemed indifferent to the hardships experienced by the five people who received his orders.

The giant black spider seemed to be fiercely attacking the five people who surrounded it. From his aura, it was obvious that the giant black spider had strength equivalent to the peak level of a celestial swordsman. While the besiegers are at the mid level of earth warriors.

However, it is not seen that the giant black spider can outperform the humans who surround it by riding their horses. At a glance, the cooperation of the five people looks so good that they are able to suppress and urge the spider demon.

But, after slightly researching the situation further, Gentayu finally found a different fact related to the five-on-one battle.

‘They used a trap! That black spider's legs have been entangled!’ muttered Gentayu while watching the strange thread on the legs of the black spider.

Perhaps having been impatient to see the slow pace of the five handling the giant beast, a burly man armed with a large axe in slightly different clothes from the rest of the bodyguards jumped out.

The man swung his axe and managed to slash the ‘chepalotorax’ (chest and head segment) section of the stealth. Behead his body into two separate pieces!

‘Crax!’

Greenish black blood spurted everywhere. In fact, the young man in luxurious clothes who from the beginning shouted orders was also splashed on the face, making him angry and venting it on the bodyguard beside him.

The bodyguard received a kick in the back as it was thought to have failed to protect him from blood splashes.

“Stupid!” said swearing.

But, just as the young man was about to throw his hand back at the poor guard, his mouth gawked in disbelief.

From behind the hill, not far from where the black spider carcass was sprawled, sprung dozens, maybe even hundreds of spiders the size of twice the human body.

They pushed, from the front, left and right of the company from the top of the hill. Moving very fast

The smell of blood from the slain spider seemed to stir up the anger of hundreds of other spiders in the place.
