Shivaratri: Destroy the Darkness

Chapter 2: The Knights of Saka

The night was long for a Ganendra. Despite the confusion of being in a new world. He tried to survive to complete his mission. Get Tirta Amerta and a full piece of gold. The wound on his body he wrapped with a makeshift cloth. His steps were stumbling through the thickets, while enduring the pain of the wounds suffered.

The radiant glow of the Raditya penetrated through the cracks of the forest leaves. As if to tell Ganendra, that there is a light of hope waiting for him. The longer the forest trees become less frequent. Faintly Ganendra heard a frenzied voice not far from where he was. A ray of cheer emanated from the look of his beautiful face. There must be someone ahead who can be asked for help.

His heavy steps felt light. A smile expands from her lips. Ganendra stepped out of the forest quickly. One.two.three seconds passed. In just a split second, the cheer on Ganendra's face faded away. Look at the scene in front of him.

A scene he usually sees only in video games or television shows. Now it is real right in front of your eyes.

A... What the fuck is this?!!! pekik Ganendra in heart.

In an open place. The sound of sharp weapons clashing against each other. Ganendra saw some humans fighting against monsters he had seen in the forest. The monsters are so many. Its height was almost one or even two meters more. Creepy face. Plus fangs and protruding tongue. Ganendra thought, after coming out of the forest will not meet monsters again. But hope is always far from reality.

The monster looks fierce. They attack humans blindly. Ganendra saw one of the monsters manage to catch a man. Mercilessly broke his neck. Then eat the man greedily. Leave the scattered bones. They are man-eating monsters. Seeing the terrible happenings before my eyes. Makes Ganendra instantly nauseous. The rancid smell of blood began to ambush his nose.

“Never give up! We are the Knights of Saka! The Monster Hunter Knight. Fight them, fear not!!!” shouted one of the humans.

Although Ganendra wants to step foot. Get out of that battle place. Why did his feet suddenly freeze. He can only be stuck in his place. Witness a fierce battle between humans and monsters.

One of the humans gave a cue, “Knight Saka third level, fast moving.”

Some people suddenly moved nimbly. Moving like lightning ran to and fro. Move towards the monsters. They move fast. Making a monster that was trying to drop, just hitting the empty wind. Monsters look evil. The punch keeps missing. It was difficult to take down those who moved nimbly like lightning.

The second letter came out from the same person. He shouted out loud.

“Knight Saka fifth level, your turn!!!”

Now, several people advanced armed with arrows, swords, axes and spears. They ran agilely. His body moved as fast as lightning. The attention of the monster who was distracted by the third level Saka Knight, lost its concentration. Up to the fifth level Saka Knight with a quick movement slashing the head of the monster with a sword. Some were aiming at the monster's heart with arrows. Made some monsters fall to the ground.

One of the people moved quickly and jumped into the air. It then stuck a spear right into the head of one of the monsters. Black blood spurted from the head of the monster to its end.

Things turn around. The man who called himself the Knight of Saka, looked superior than before. Some were in charge of diverting the concentration of the monsters. Then the next Knight as a butcher swiftly slashed at the monster. Delivering them to the afterlife.

Ganendra was still glued to his place. It feels dreamy but very real. I don't know what kind of world he's been in. When the battle seems to be won by the Knights. Suddenly the ground was shaking violently. The sound of heavy footsteps moved from the back of the monsters. A large tall body armed with a mace in the hand. Stepping forward towards Knight Saka.

A huge tall monster that seemed to be the leader of the monster herd was seen puffing out its chest. Then take a deep breath. Up to a split second the Monster Leader roared loudly.

“Roaarrrrr!!!”

A strong gust of wind came out from the mouth of the Monster. Plunging the Knights of Saka in all directions. The screams of pain began to sound.

“Badama!!” the Monster Leader's.

Simultaneously the monster that had been overwhelmed immediately advanced and attacked the Knight Saka who was still lying. The monsters crazily tore apart the Knights. Separate their bodies and eat them mercilessly. The smell of blood returned. A drop of blood. Leave a gripping horror.

Ganendra tried to move his legs. However, fear further plagued his body. Until one of the monsters catches Ganendra. He stared at the beast. Making Ganendra aware of the more ambiguous.

“Sial!!! I don't want to fall prey to that monster!!!” he shouted loudly.

Simultaneously, the Monster moved towards Ganendra. His claws were preparing to slash.

Just at that moment, he managed to move his legs. He ran away avoiding the monster attack. He was thrown to the ground. Again the wounds that have not healed give pain in the body. Ganendra can only bite the lips. However, he cannot remain silent for long. The monster that attacked him was already preparing to attack him back.

Ganendra immediately got up and ran dodging the monster attack. He ran away to get there. Occasionally jumping over a pile of corpses of monsters lying down. His movements were quite nimble to avoid attacks. His body is naturally trained thanks to his daily life as a fraudster who is always chased by security forces. In Ganendra's mind, he was running over a fence or wall.

From a distance one of the Saka Knights who was fighting some monsters looked towards Ganendra. He's named Sadana, the one who gave the word to the other Knights. Sadana saw Ganendra's body movements so agile. Deterioration in avoiding attacks.

“Soma, protect me.” command it on one of the Knights.

“Where are you going?”

“Those people seem to need help.”

The knight who was called Soma, looked where Sadana's view was headed. In the midst of the monsters, a human was running around dodging attacks. Soma understood, he invited other friends to help Sadana. They immediately lurch forward. Against some monsters. Paving the way for Sadana to get closer to the human being who was being chased by one of the monsters.

Sadana moves like lightning. Jumping into the air, moving from one place to another quickly while swinging his axe in all directions.

Srats!!!

Srats!!!

The slash of his axe made several monsters fall. Ganendra who was on the other side started to get scared. He ran towards the crowd of monsters. He's at a dead end. Sweat drenched his body. His heart is beating fast.

Am I going to die? his mind in the heart.

Violence emanated from the monster's face. They're ready to pounce on Ganendra. The poor young man could only close his eyes tightly. Ganendra did not want to die. He still wants to live with his mother. Until a loud voice opened his eyes.

“Liberation of the Bajra Axe!!”

An axe spun with rapid movements. Floating in the air formed a disc-like rotation. A blink of the disc's eyes floated up and slashed at some of the monsters that swarmed Ganendra. Make some monsters fall into carrion.

A man darted in front of Ganendra. Protect it from monster attacks. He didn't think anyone would help him. Ganendra thought he was going to die.

Not far from there the roar of the monster leader shook the ground where they stood. The leader of the monsters moved towards Sadana and Ganendra. Prepare to attack. Ganendra stared in horror. Sadana inevitably had to face the monster leader. The moment the monster leader's attack was about to lead to the two youths earlier. Suddenly the sound of a trumpet sounded.

All the monsters that were in that place disappeared all of a sudden. Wiped away like dust. Not even a dead monster. Now, there are only the Knights of Saka who survived. They seem to breathe freely. The monsters suddenly disappeared.

Sadana approaches Ganendra, “are you okay?”

His hands stretched out and helped Ganendra stand up. Ganendra nodded his head. Sadana saw some wounds on the body of the young man she saved.

“Close with us, it seems you need treatment to treat your wounds.” Sadana.

Ganendra remained silent. He still looks confused. His brain was still digesting what he was currently experiencing. Sadana smiled thinly.

“It looks like you have the potential to become a monster hunter. Join us, the Knights of Saka.”

Ganendra was silent. In his mind there were many questions. What kind of world is he coming to. Why are there so many monsters. A monster that has no idea where it came from. Every moment terrorizes by mercilessly preying on humans.
