KEEP BUANA (Rise of Darkness)

The Attack on the IX Palace

Gentayu immediately shot high into the air, leaving behind Anila's entourage as well as Hao Lim and the two women from Hidama.

‘BHAMM!!’

Suddenly a huge explosion was heard.

A fireball that exploded in the air formed like a giant mushroom. The explosion this time was accompanied by a powerful shockwave and managed to throw the opponents of the Demon Coral in various directions.

Gentayu was even forced to stop suddenly in the air because his body was also hit by a shock wave that blew away all the material around the place.

“Hahahahahahahahaha......!!!”

There was a loud laugh of the Devil's Coral which had now stood in the sky, right on the marks of the explosion it had made and still left a bright light in the night sky.

This explosion was clearly larger than the first explosion witnessed by Gentayu and his entourage while still around the forest.

Gentayu released his aura of power, making his body seem to be engulfed in heat. In fact, in the middle of the darkness of the night, his body seemed to shine even though it was not too bright.

His presence was immediately noticed by the Devil's Coral.

The old man turned his body around, and found Gentayu had been standing in the air parallel to himself. Looking at Gentayu, the Demon Coral raised its right eyebrow.

“Hah..you're that boy again apparently! Shouldn't you have died that night, heh?” The Devil Coral smiled mockingly towards Gentayu. Apparently he recognized the figure of Gentayu.

But in his heart was a little wondering, how could the young man before him survive his attack? In fact, he was quite seriously injured back then. Throughout his life adventuring in the land of the Intermediate Realm, only once could the Demon Coral be seriously injured.

“Ho ho ho.. Old devil.. Because I hit your head, apparently your brain is a little troubled. Supposedly, the old die, then the young wait their turn.. Haha...

Besides, it seems like you're pretty quick to recognize me even in the dark like this. Your enemies must have been very numerous. Did you have the trauma of meeting me, heh?” Gentayu laughed out loud. Fishing for Satan's Coral Emotions because they have to remember for the first time his head on someone else's feet.

“This ugly sword of yours, I still keep because I think of it as a memento. I admit, I was quite surprised that there was a presumptuous young man who dared to hurt me! I can't believe I still see you alive today! Alright, I promise that your death will be delivered to you using this sword.” The Devil's Coral pulled out Gentayu's Satam sword which he had taken some time ago.

The Devil's Coral Hand was still trembling while holding the Ki Brajawana legacy weapon. Though the current condition is very prime, different from the first time he got the sword.

In the past, at first Satan Coral thought, his hands were trembling because of his injured condition. But even when his hand was still trembling holding an heirloom in his hand, his brain came to a conclusion.

‘This sword is a weapon loyal to its master.’ murmured inwardly. Then the sword disappeared again.

Gentayu who was initially a little excited to see the Demon Coral using the sword, his expression turned flat again as the sword disappeared again. ‘Should have, she used it so I could deal with it easier. Huh!’

“Hei Old Devil! What was? You can't even hold my weapon, how can you be so sure you can kill me with that sword? Ah, your old age turned out to make you senile.!” Gentayu again scoffed, trying to lure back the anger of the Demon Coral.

Apparently, the old man was not affected.

At the same time, the Five opponents of the Demon Coral that had originally been blown in all directions had now surrounded the two of them. Four Knights Vajra Dewa and Swordsman Indung Imau!

The five are clearly curious about the presence of the figure of Gentayu. They were inexhaustible, how could the young man not be intimidated at all by the power of the Devil's Coral.

If they knew that the Demon Coral was even injured when dealing with it first, those five senior warriors would certainly pay their respects.

However, the five did not want to disturb or disturb the presence of the foreign youth. Seeing the young man dare to face the demon corals alone was already something extraordinary according to them.

Although they clearly did not hold hope or reckon at all that Gentayu's strength would be able to just withstand the attack of the Devil's Coral. At the very least, the presence of the young man would give the five some time to recover strength before fighting back.

However, his laughter immediately stopped as a shoe landed on his face.

"'..."

“Hei! Old Picoon! Fight me! Remember, you have a debt with me.” Seru Gentayu who directly hit the Devil's Coral with kicks that target the face.

One of his feet was still wearing shoes while the left was without shoes anymore.

Devil's Coral deflected casually the gentleman's attack. But the old swordsman seemed to realize something afterwards. His hands were burning while fending off Gentayu's foot and hand attacks which seemed to be very slow for the size of the magic swordsman.

In fact, the five senior warriors who had now chosen to descend back to the ground were also seen doubting the young man. The movement is slow and easy to read!

The five Swordsmen only felt unnatural after the Demon Coral was seen jumping backwards a moment later in anger.

“What did that young man do so that the Demon Coral turned into such an angry rage? Doesn't the attack look very slow and appear powerless?” Pendekar Indung Imau expressed his astonishment. Yet the other four warriors did not respond.

“The young man is not a random young man. Instead, we use the time to recover while the young man can spend time.” Indung Imau next command.

While in space, Gentayu Attack began to look faster and more powerful. Each move of his attack, made the air around the Demon Coral turn into the wind even though it was not too strong.

The Devil Coral no longer attempted to fend off the attack. The old warrior prefers to avoid.

So far, the Demon Coral has not been seen counterattacking. I don't know what the strongest swordsman was thinking of the black stream. However, Gentayu is not too dizzy. For him, no counterattack meant an opportunity to continue attacking.

His attack did look meaningless to the Demon Coral. But not so the truth.

The Devil Coral was secretly wary of Gentayu's every move as he realized, the young man before him was much stronger than he seemed. Setaan Coral deliberately continued to avoid in order to measure the limits of Gentayu's ability, but so far he has not even managed to see the limits of the young man's strength.

Thus, on the next Gentayu attack whose speed was increasingly unreasonable for ordinary warriors to avoid, the Demon Coral was forced to fend it off with an energy shield. Gentayu's kick hit the shield, causing a shockwave that sent the bodies of the two bouncing backwards.

The five Swordsmen who were the opponents of the Demon Coral earlier did not pay attention to the fight of the two. They were concentrating on recovering their strength back then.

But Yumiko, Anila, Sakuza and Hao Lim were quite stunned to see how the notorious Devil's Coral was made retreated while resisting Gentayu's attacks. Although Gentayu himself was also pushed back further, but the young man soon managed to balance himself.

“Old Devil, If you think you will be able to drain my energy by continuing to avoid, you better think again.” Gentayu said out loud as he darted rapidly towards the Demon Coral. His body only looked like a faint white glow.

This time the fight looks more serious. Gentayu continued to launch as many attacks as possible towards the Devil's Coral. On the contrary, the Demon Coral itself no longer only dodged, but began to launch its counterattacks. Even so, the old swordsman still tried not to fend off Gentayu attacks.

The second blow and the second strike in the air caused small sparks of light each time the blow got a spike.

The difference was, every time it fended off Gentayu's attack, the Demon Coral felt as if an overwhelming heat had penetrated its body. The heat that accompanies every attack of Gentayu seems to propagate in the hands or feet that are used to raise it.

Conversely, when his attack was repelled by Gentayu, his strength seemed to continue to suck and make him weaken.

Even so, these two have both not netted a single blow to the opponent's body.

Gentayu smiled at the face of the Demon Coral that was getting worse over time. ‘This old devil has not noticed it.’ Gentayu said.

Thanks to the Sword of Satam which was currently in the body of the Demon Coral, Gentayu gained the advantage. The sword will absorb the opponent's energy from its owner, especially during a fight like this. Plus, that sword ability increased several times the effect of its owner's attack on the opponent's body.

It was Satam's sword energy that made every attack repelled, precisely the attack energy as if absorbed into Satan's coral body. Causing the effect of burning heat, even though actually the Devil's Coral itself is immune to weapons.
