KEEP BUANA (Rise of Darkness)

Gentayu Fate

The three Swordsmen of the Star of Hope alliance had managed to reach Gentayu's body that lay with great difficulty. The energy attacks that had approached them earlier had not weakened in the least.

Both Tungkal Anom, Ratna Mangali, and the Swordsman of the Soul Rope realized that the energy attack only needed to be avoided, not to be fended off or resisted. Because in truth, none of them could withstand it. Even if their powers are combined.

The three of them were quite amazed after knowing, that the energy that attacked them was actually ‘lepas’ just like that from the empty air around Gentayu's body due to his struggle with the Demon figure that was pressing out from within the seal.

To be precise, it was the loose or stray energy of the struggle between him and the demonic figure who was trying to break free and take over his body.

The stray energy release distance is about one fathom from Gentayu's body. This means that in a very close distance under one fathom is actually a safe distance. That's what they learned before when they saw the movement of Hao Lim who until now still wrestle to suppress the demon figure.

Gentayu's body looks pitiful.

Half his body had turned black. It was not black due to the charred, but black which signified that slowly his body began to be taken over by the demonic figure of the black jewel seal in his hand.

It is true, the demon that came out was still tied with a seal in Gentayu's hands. The demon's greatest strength, it was still inside the seal.

The young man tried his hardest to stop the complete release of the demonic power before him and return the demon to the seal again.

But of course, Gentayu's strength alone would not be able to do so. Even now, his energy was dwindling, and the figure of the demon was growing stronger. Attempting to master and control Gentayu's body.

Without waiting for a long time, Ki Tungkal Anom immediately did tootokan on some parts of Gentayu's body. It was his maximum effort to seal off the path of Gentayu blood known as the entrance of demonic power.

Although Ki Tungkal Anom himself is not sure his efforts will succeed, but at least with so speed the acquisition of Gentayu's body will be hampered.

Meanwhile, the Soul Strap Swordsman uses his chains that have now shone into golden to bind Gentayu's body. The chain again showed its strength as a high-level heirloom.

On the body that was bound in chains, the black color slowly faded and shot out into the air as black smoke then fused with the demonic figure that was continuously suppressed by Hao Lim.

While the Golden Storker moved to help Hao Lim. The female Swordsman was known as the Golden Stork Swordsman because of her ability to trap stronger opponents using a small jade bottle. Like a stork that traps a small fish with long legs and beak. When the bottle cap is opened, then whatever it looks like will be sucked into the bottle and locked.

Hao Lim seemed to be strangled by the huge hand of the demonic creature. Although still in the form of smoke and still very weak, in fact his strength is still too big to face ordinary warriors alone. Hao Lim's body was raised high. Hao Lim tried to release the clutches of the hand which made it more difficult to breathe, but in vain.

When struck, because the form is only smoke, it will have no impact on the creature. But at that critical moment Ratna Mangali the Golden Stork showed its ability.

The creature immediately turned his head when he felt the part of his left hand hanging as if sucked into a hole with a very strong suction power. In fact, the demon was now forced to release his grip on Haolim's neck when he felt that not only his left hand, even his lower body had also been sucked in without being resisted.

‘Aaaaaaaaa...!!’

The bottle fell into the grass and shook slightly, causing a rumbling sound for a moment before remaining silent.

Hao Lim, who had fallen when the demon let go of his grip, had now risen again. Without excuse he immediately grabbed the jade bottle and threw it very precisely and accurately towards the left wrist of the withered.

“Sorry!” He said without turning his head to Ratna Mangali as his hands very quickly immediately formed a hand spell formation.

The startled Ratna Mangali only gawked for a moment before something else made even more gawking happen

Before the bottle reached Gentayu's wrist, a yellowish gleam shot from Hao Lim's index tip ahead of the jade bottle towards the bracelet in Gentayu's hand. The bracelet lit up briefly as a yellowish ray touched it, and immediately ‘swallowed’ the jade bottle that came a second later.

‘Zap!’

The bottle instantly disappeared as if it was lost in void space along with the vanishing of light

from the black bracelet in Gentayu's hand, Gerobok Bracelet.

“Botalkuu..” Ratna Mangali said it barely sounded anyone. Both of his hands extended towards the disappearance of his immortal jade bottle.

Without waiting, Hao Lim immediately approached Gentayu.

The young man's hand was still tightly grasping the black jewel of the demon seal. His consciousness is gone. Gentayu fell unconscious at that moment.

Some parts of his body that were originally blackened have now gradually recovered, but not with the part of the hand that holds the seal.

“Quick! Bring him over” Seru ki Tungkal Anom.

The old man, as well as almost the entire Star Hope alliance swordsman was clearly curious about Gentayu's figure and his background. They do not recognize gentayu at all because Gentayu is still fairly new this first time appearing in the martial world.

His identity was still mysterious to the Hope Star alliance. Only Rambang Dangku, Benduriang and Anila alone would probably recognize the young man. Anila even only knew the young man named Gentayu and as Matriarch Lim's bodyguard so concluded that Gentayu was only a disciple in the Red Dragon sect. But now he begins to doubt. While Rambang Dangku and Benduriang are currently facing the troops of Mpu Jangger.

“Awas, just lay it on this grass. Come on, come on, give him some space. Don't cover it.” Hao Lim acted as if he was currently in his sect and he was still a matriarch. He forgot for a moment that the warriors around him, some were even much stronger than him. And most importantly, he was not currently in his Red Dragon sect.

Fortunately, these warriors obeyed his words. Not because they obey, but because they think that this Hao Lim is a Gentayu couple or maybe an important person. Of course they respected the wood that they witnessed for themselves its power being able to subvert the legend of the black stream, the Devil's Coral.

Without caring about the gazes of the people around him, even forgetting about Yumiko and Sakuza, Hao Lim immediately checked the condition of the gentayu. The entire black hue had disappeared. Only in the palm part of the hand that grasped the black gem of the demon seal remained blackened. It forms like a root vein and continues to climb upwards.
