KEEP BUANA (Rise of Darkness)

What Seal?

In one corner of the village, an old man appeared to be facing an army of the undead. He seemed to be trying to protect another man behind him who was his age. The bodies he faced were part of other living bodies that attacked the village of Air Katuan. The old man was the healer Mo You was currently handling the treatment process for elder Shou and happened to cross the village. Nahas, they passed through the village just when it was attacked.

Elder Shou himself, in order to recover his strength had to return to his sect because the injuries that the most severe elder shou had sustained were the damage to his spirit power. Physically, his injuries had already healed by over 70 percent, but restoring the strength of the elder shou had to be done by several people together.

On their way, they come face to face with the living corpses that attack them brutally. Luckily, healer Mo was able to deal with the attack with his capable martial skills. Even they were already preparing to return onward before a huge pressure suddenly dominated the air around him. Shortly thereafter, a white-haired male figure appeared but with a fairly muscular body, though not as burly as a young person. That figure was the Demon Coral.

“Hahahaha... Finally I met again with the mice created by the scrawny Liu Feng!” The sound of Satan's Coral Thundering prevented the journey of the two.

Liu Feng was the founding ancestor of the red Dragon Sect, the shelter of elder Shou. Whether there was any grudge between this Demon Coral and Liu Feng, it clearly seemed like the Demon Coral was desperate for the death of an elder Shou who was recognized as the people of the Red Dragon sect.

“You.. Dare to say the name of our ancestors!” Elder Shou, of course, the emotions of his ancestors were called rats by people he did not know. Finished saying his words, elder Shou collapsed to the ground and knelt down unwillingly. Apparently the pressure from the Demon Coral forced him to kneel.

“Give me that seal!” Back the voice of the Demon Coral was heard accompanied by a flash of energy snatching from his index finger towards the chest of elder Shou.

Seeing this, Physician Mo immediately acted by blocking the lightning attack.

‘Blesss.’

The flash of demonic coral attack energy was successfully repelled.

“Seals what do you mean, stranger?” Elder Shou finally spoke.

“Do not try to trick me and pretend not to know! Hand over!” Back the Demon Coral rebuked elder Shou followed by another flash of energy attack that emerged from his finger.

For the second time, Physician Mo blocked the attack.

However, this time his actions made the Demon Coral become wrathful. He directed his palm towards Physician Mo with a look of anger.

“Do not try to interfere!!” Jerking the Devil's Coral to Physician Mo followed by darting purplish black energy from his palm smashing into the position of healer Mo You. The first attack avoided Physician Mo by rolling over. But on the second attack that only had a pause of less than a second, Physician Mo dodged too late. Physician Mo crossed his hands to the chest exerting his strength to block and fend off the attack.

‘BHUM! BHUM! THE DUAR!!

A great explosion occurred when the demonic Coral's punch energy met the body of healer Mo. Fireballs similar to mushrooms soared into space after impact. The body of physician Mo bounced backwards several tens of meters and the old healer was killed instantly.

“Alright! I don't think that thing was on you. Perhaps, you are not the Red Dragon elder that my men mean!” The Demon Coral only said coldly before it disappeared again without a trace like its appearance. However, after the Demon Coral disappeared, elder Shou held his stomach and chest in turns. Apparently the Demon Coral had attacked him to kill him before disappearing away.

++++++++ +++++ +++++ ++++++ ++++++++

‘I won't die here, will I? Heh,.. This old demon, how could he be this strong?’ Gentayu nodded, trying to stand up straight. His eyes looked at the Demon Coral which was starting to float down.

“Hei boy! What are you doing with my tribe's puller stick?!” The demon corals looked at Gentayu with eyes filled with anger. The wand that became one of his secret weapons was just like a piece of junkyard. Can't be used anymore.

“Hey, old rot! I'll even make you like that butut stick!” Gentayu exclaimed and released all his aura of power. By releasing that aura of his strength, he managed to escape from the pressure of the Demonic corals which seemed to make the air around become heavier!

Gentayu slid towards the Devil's Coral. As fast as lightning he raised the satanic sword in his hand and slashed it towards the Demon Coral in full force. Flashes of satanic sword energy that no longer gleamed white but instead became a purplish black color lunged and slashed towards the Demon Coral.

But his attack only hit empty air because the old swordsman suddenly disappeared and had moved. But the impact of the attack on the surrounding environment was quite dire. Every time the sword slashed through the air, its energy destroyed anything it passed through. Residential houses, undead that keep popping up, large rocks and even mounds of land that became the place of the fall of Gentayu a few moments ago all destroyed and became dust flying in the night. It turned out that Gentayu's black energy was more suitable when playing the satam sword than using the white flow energy he had been studying and possessing.

No more residents were around that battle area. Even Kardak who a while ago participated in fighting against the Devil's corals must evacuate his partner, Winamar to safety so as not to fall victim to the wrong target of the battle of the two black-energy humans. Likewise the undead that had originally attacked the village seemed to have had its consciousness to avoid that battle arena.

Facing the sword of Satam belonging to Gentayu, the Devil Coral looks wary. The hundred-year-old warrior seemed to prefer avoiding those sword slashes rather than fending them off. Seeing that, Gentayu got an idea in his head. He immediately shortened the distance with the Demonic Coral, as it seemed like this inheritance sword of his teacher was so frightened.

Gentayu accelerated the tempo of his swordplay. After all his opponent was a senior swordsman with greater strength. Gentayu felt that in a moment, surely the energy he possessed was also immediately drained considering that every slash of his sword used considerable force. Then speed was his only chance of being able to survive at this moment.

Gentayu's increasing speed was in fact not enough to compensate for his opponent's speed. As the distance of the fight grew closer, suddenly the Demon Coral disappeared from sight. It completely disappeared as if it never existed. Not even his energy could be felt. Gentayu circulated his gaze around, his ears becoming more aloof and his grip on the sword getting tighter. Gentayu was wary of the sudden movement of the Demon Coral. Gentayu thought that the old warrior would support him from behind.

‘Where did he disappear?’ The wobbly wobble after a while there was no movement or signs the Demon Coral would make a sudden attack. His current standing position had shifted away from the starting point of his fight.

Gentayu intended to lower his sword, when suddenly there was a burst of sura and a bang elsewhere, quite far from where he was standing.

‘BHUM! BHUM! THE DUAR!!

Gentayu immediately darted to check what was happening when suddenly his legs became heavy.

“Where are you going?” The voice of the Demon Coral was heard again as Gentayu was about to step away.

Gentayu turned his head, and found the figure of the old swordsman hovering where he had disappeared just now. His hand had now tugged someone's body and thrown it towards Gentayu.

‘Bruk!’

A lifeless body was thrown and immediately lay at the feet of Gentayu. Gentayu's body trembled as soon as he saw the figure of the corpse. He recognized this figure from his clothes. This is the corpse of Physician Mo. Not wrong again, this is indeed his corpse! What happened to the healer Mo? What about elder Shou? How... a series of questions rake in Gentayu's head. But of course the enemy in front of him is currently more important to take care of at this time.

“Don't expect to escape from this place, boy! This man intends to interfere in my affairs, just like you! So I cleaned it up first before finishing you!” The voice of the Devil's Coral boomed. Still filled with anger and hatred for Gentayu.

Gentayu no longer replied. He raised his sword high into space. His mouth was crying out:

““*Oh weak souls.

Stepping in no direction

In the blemishes of history there is no more

You pongah as perky

Yet I am

I am the Blood Redeemer

In the sword steps of the knights

I come from a dark soul

The moon I split and the Sunari I muttered

With a bloody tone

Then it became my verse

Verse of Death*..”

Yes, it was a death verse that flashed past his head and spontaneously uttered from his mouth as if someone had moved him to recite it.

Initially, the Devil's Coral only listened because it thought that the verse was just a desperate remark. However he became startled when he felt a foreign and extremely powerful energy suddenly ambush him. He soon realized, it was not an ordinary verse, but a martial verse. Just as Gentayu finished his verse, the Demon Coral felt its entire senses malfunctioning.

Gentayu himself was surprised by the reaction shown by the Devil's Coral due to the influence of this Death Verse style. The old demon did not directly attack Gentayu, instead sat down and immediately took a meditative position. Satan's corals are trying to neutralize the influence of the death verse that is already lodged in his five senses that are now no longer functioning.

‘ini chanceku’ Inner Gentayu.

This time, Gentayu gathered all the remaining power on him. This would mean one of two possibilities, the defeated Devil's Reef or the perishing Gentayu.

“Death to You, rotten old!!” Gentayu immediately swung his sword at full force towards the head of the Demon Coral.

‘Trakkk!!!’

‘BLARRRRR.....!!!’

Sword Satam managed to touch the Demon Coral's headstone which was in a meditating position. A sound like a broken hard coconut shell rang out as a touch of the devil Coral's scalp with a satanic sword, followed by a fierce burst of energy! The burst of energy even destroyed an area of nearly 1 kilometer long in front of him in the direction of the sword slash..

Gentayu himself immediately bounced back!

His chest felt tight, feeling like he was depressed by a heavy object. Pain ran through every bone. His heart was beating fast. Not because of fear. Not because of worry, let alone chat like men who see beautiful women, not like that. His heart decub became faster because indeed his body had reached its threshold. His entire energy was forced to his ultimate attack just now. Now his breath began to sting. Sweat had broken all over his body. His eyes began to blur. Gentayu finally collapsed to the ground.
