KEEP BUANA (Rise of Darkness)

The Attack on Palace VIII

The figure opened the cover of his face. With the lighting from the torch he was carrying, Hao Lim immediately recognized the face behind the covering cloth.

“Hah? You're.. Little thief?!” Hao Lim said half-strangled to recognize the figure.

Meanwhile, the person called as the little thief puffed his cheeks with a pouting face. The companion next to him had now lowered his arrow bow after making sure the four people they were attacking were not enemies.

“Huh! Why do you always call me ‘little thief’? Couldn't you call me by another call that amused me more? Beautiful fairy, for example.” grumbled the figure of the woman dressed in black.

“What? Calling you a pretty fairy? Hahahahaha... even cows only look prettier when given makeup than you.” ledek Hao Lim while welcoming the hug of women called ‘the little thief.

Just so, a teak landed on Hao Lim's forehead for likening his old friend to a cow. Then the two hugged for quite a while, indicating there was a longing in the hearts of the two.

It is true that it is. The young woman in his arms was Hao Lim's best friend.

They met more than five years ago. At that time, the little thief who was originally named Anila was found in a condition badly injured due to a fight with one of the female elders of the Black Rose. Anila was indeed one of the warriors of the Black Rose before the college became a group of black streams as it is today. Previously the Black Rose was not a black stream. The college was founded in defense of weak and oppressed women.

Anila and some of her best friends chose to leave the store when there was a big change in college. Without realizing it, it turns out that the great teacher entrusts the secret book of the college in the form of an heirloom sword.

The sword itself was gifted to his teacher while he was still a senior disciple. Because of that sword, he was then hunted for some time after leaving college. At that time, Nyi Mawar Arum who had just become a master teacher and leader of the new plaza realized that the secret book they were looking for was no longer in the store anymore. ‘Little steal’ is the nickname that was given to him because of it. Even if it is considered stealing, stolen goods are not small things.

“You haven't changed at all, Lim. Even if your face..” has not had time for the woman to finish her sentence, Hao Lim immediately silenced her with his right palm so as not to continue his speech.

It made Sakuza, Yumiko and Gentayu furrow their brows. ‘What happened?’ their inner.

“Oh yes, introduce this.. Gentay. These two girls, Sakuza and Yumiko.” Hao Lim introduced Gentayu and the others to Anila.

Gentayu, Sakuza and Yumiko simultaneously paid tribute to Anila who was reciprocated with similar respect.

“By the way, I have a job. To be exact, have fun with the Lamahtang warriors. If you want to join, please...

It seems the party has begun. I go first.!” Anila turned to the inside of the forest. It was seen that a huge fire had burned the inside of the forest. Without waiting, after saying goodbye the woman immediately darted along with her partner who was holding an arrow.

Gentayu and the two girls from Nidama were confused by the mysterious sikpa Anila. However, when they heard the death squeals of the soldiers from the forest they finally understood what Anila meant as the ‘party’.

“Kukira, the terrible explosion above the sky was related to them as well. Are they conducting an attack on Lamahtang?” Gentayu tried to digest the situation.

Watching hundreds of soldiers exit the fort and make a chase, was definitely not something that could be ignored as a matter of course. There must be something big going on. The most reasonable thing is that they are attacking. But, who was the group that was crazy enough to attack an empire? Didn't the king's own army have to evacuate before it was slaughtered?

“Finely, we go into the forest and check the conditions.”uluan Hao Lim as if understanding the confusion Gentayu.

“Alright, come.” Gentayu immediately ran into the forest. Followed by the two girls from the Nidama. Hao Lim was left behind.

The moment they arrived near the blazing flames, a terrifying sight was plastered before them.

Hundreds of Lamahtang soldiers floundered for death in confinement. Some of them tried to break through the flames, but the result was the same. Their bodies were burning faster because the flames they were trying to break through were too large and vast.

There were five people who managed to get out of the confinement of fire. But their condition is not smooth. Some parts of their bodies appeared to be on fire, but they survived.

At that time, they saw Anila blocking the five people by throwing small knives from the bamboo and disappeared. Before long, it seemed like the leader of the four people realized something, unfortunately he attacked to the wrong point. It was then that all four of his colleagues were killed by tiny invisible needles in some parts of their bodies.

Anila is seen throwing the little pisu once again and disappearing into the night. The woman was clearly aware that being exposed to a large fire light that created shadows was no good when dealing with a shadow-controlling swordsman like her opponent. But this time his attack seemed to have missed. The knives stuck to the ground.

Anila appeared once again with a faster knife attack, but the attack could be thwarted by her opponent. It even looks like Anila had to turn her head to avoid her own knife which is now turning to attack her.

The knife can be caught with a foot clip, and thrown back to the opponent. This time it does not lead to the body but to the ground.

“The man was really stupid for not realizing in the blade was contained a ferocious vapor poison.” Sakuza gave his comments seeing a brief exchange of attacks between Anila and her opponent, Upang Jenglot.

Those who witnessed could actually judge that Anila's fighting prowess was far below her opponent's. But due to lack of meticulousness, even stronger opponents were seen staggering before collapsing to the ground.

“Those people are from Black Centipede.”.Yumiko notices the identity of the warrior leader who has now been taken away by another Anila knife.

‘SUUIIIIITTT..!’ it sounded a loud scream. Anila seemed to give a certain code to her surroundings. Before long, ten black shadows sprung up around him.

“Come, Lim!!” He said as he turned towards Gentayu and the others hid observing.

Finally they came out and joined the group of Anila who had darted ahead.

“Hadeeeh. Fuck up! Intention no heck little thief invites us?” Hao Lim again grumbled annoyed at being left behind by the group. In fact, his three companions had moved ahead of him. Lazily, he finally followed darting away from the place.

“Actually, what happened Miss?” Gentayu deliberately preceded the group in order to catch up with Anila. While using her Wind Steps, Gentayu took the time to ask.

“We are attacking! You see up there??” Anila pointed to the sky. Five people surrounded someone. “If you want to help, we join forces with the invading Duchy warriors from the west and east sides!” added again.

“Current Satan??” Gentayu seemed more interested in seeing the five people who started to attack towards the figure who was thought to be the Demon Coral, then he broke away before darting high into the air.

“Hey, where are you going?!!” Anila tries to prevent Gentayu. He thought, because he looked young, Gentayu was only a member of the Red Dragon who escorted Matriarch Lim with the highest ability of the Swordsman Expert only. “Ah, search die that boy.!”sorry later.

Immediately he stopped his steps and turned his head towards Matriarch Lim behind him. Ten other people continued to speed towards the east gate.
