The Musafir

Movement Under Water

HAND MANTINGAN moves to hold the Sword Kiai Kedai. His head turned, looking for signs of the enemy. It is possible, at this time the Mantingan was seen by the enemy. And maybe, too, Mantingan can get an impromptu attack. The threat also hit the North River Angel, so there is currently no reason for Mantingan to relax.

Very quickly Mantingan moved from one tree to another. As fast as lightning, yet silent as an owl chasing prey. Every foot of Mantingan touched the branch of the tree, and the branch of the tree did not sway, as if Mantingan's body was just a dry piece of cotton.

The swift, silent, and gentle movements of Mantingan certainly did not succeed in seeing the North River Angel. Although the girl was seen to put up full vigilance, not one bit she realized the presence of Mantingan.

The mantan still went around very, very quickly. In his ears at this moment only a whirring of wind sounded. His vision was filled by the shadow of a blurred tree. So fast he passed, that a squirrel passed by him was not aware of the existence of Mantingan.

After making sure the eastern area was not inhabited by humans, Mantingan moved to the west side. He clenched his feet against a field of trees and flew quickly over the river. Cross the Mantingan unwittingly the North River Angel below.

The mantle landed on a branch before darting back to continue combing.

Until the moment his eyes saw something glittering below, Mantingan hurriedly reduced his speed and landed downwards. He walked closer to something that reflected the sunlight until it sparkled.

The thing he saw looked like metal. The middle to lower part was immersed in the ground, so it was unknown what the actual shape of the metal was. A glance of Mantingan shone around him to make sure there were no traps, before venturing out to pull the metal from the ground. Without any significant difficulty, the Mantingan managed to take out the metal.

It turned out to be a pot. At first glance it looks like an old pot, a former wanderer who intentionally or accidentally left his pancake, then because of rain or anything until the pot can sink into the ground. However, it was only the glimpsed eye. If examined further, the suspicion that the pot in the hands of the Mantingan is a former wanderer can be disputed.

If the one in Mantingan's hands right now was an old pot that had already been immersed in the ground, it was certain that the soil and rainwater would make the body of the pot rusty and hollow. But the pot that now Mantingan hold this shows absolutely no signs of rust, even no holes at all in the body of the pot.

Moreover, the pot felt warm when it came into contact with Mantingan's fingers. In fact, only a few parts of the pot were exposed to sunlight, the rest were in the cold ground. The mantle scrunched his forehead suspiciously.

“This .. diversion!”

The pot was deliberately planted, Mantingan was sure of it. The pula is deliberately not planted entirely, leaving little to reflect sunlight. If the intention of the pot grower is to attract the attention of the Mantingan, then the man succeeds.

The mantle did not wait any longer to act immediately. It moves at twice the speed of lightning. Such high speed also takes some time to reach the place of the North River Angel, because previously Mantingan had traveled quite far from the river.

But in his mind, Mantingan continued to hope that he was not late until. Because if it is too late, the North River Angel can be killed or the worst is kidnapped.

Mantingan had promised himself to take full responsibility for the North River Angel. He had assumed the girl was the one he should keep her safe. If those bad things happen, then I don't know what regrets will come back to destroy him.

The mantle pierced through a sea of trees, drifting freely two fathoms above the river water. Mantingan's eyes moved quickly to watch the river, like an eagle watching its prey.

There was a large body that was moving under the water, but it was not a crocodile. Because the river water is clear enough for Mantingan to see up the riverbed. It was clear what was moving in the water.

Mantingan could not attack even if he wanted to. Given his speed that had exceeded twice the speed of lightning, the Mantingan could not do much in the air. Therefore, he let his body dart away quickly. Until his feet step on the river rock, then Mantingan can stop himself.

The rocks of the river that Mantingan stepped on made a loud noise and left two puddles in the form of footwear. That's the footwear that Mantingan wears. So hard he hit the rock.

Mantang jerking his legs. He returned to hovering above the air.

The Northern River Angel looked surprised to hear the loud flares Mantingan produced. The girl looked up at the sound, but found nothing but two footprints on the rock.

Utilizing the confusion of the North River Angel, Mantingan immediately launched an attack on the form that moves underwater. From the pocket of his coffers, Mantingan threw the needle of Dragonfly towards the form. Mantingan deliberately did not sprinkle poison on the needle he flew, because it would contaminate the river water as well as endanger the North River Angel.

But with just the needles he threw, the enemy was already quite shocked and would most likely flee. That was when the new Manten moved to immobilize him.

The needles entered the water. Creating a little splash of water. The needles were fixed on the target, because the Poison Cap needle was designed in such a way as to keep going straight despite the strong wind, the rule also applies to the rushing river water.

However, the opponent did not move out at all. Just a little showing movement of the surprised sign. The rest, he even faster moving underwater approaching the North River Angel.

But this has already entered into the count of Mantingan. If the opponent did not feel threatened and did not want to retreat, then the Mantingan would instantly cripple him.

From above the air, Mantingan slid towards his enemy. The Kiai Kedai sword is unsheathed in a sheathed condition. Like a stork that enters piercing water to take prey, Mantingan does not hesitate to throw himself into the water.

The young man did not know what reaction the Northern River Angel showed after hearing the loud thumping sound and a huge splash of water that was happening nearby. The focus of attention is completely shifted to the enemy.

Mantingan's hand movements were extremely fast as he swung the Kiai Kedai Sword in the water.
