The Thousand Mask Warrior
The Battle Over the Eleventh Part of the River: Blazing Is Getting Wild



Fong Pak Laoya stomped his feet onto the deck of the ship twice. His hands were still clenched and placed on his head with his index and middle fingers pointing to the sky. His mouth continued to chant spells that to Yu and Pratiwi's ears were just an indistinct murmur. The fire had burned most of the hull and continued to destroy all parts of the ship. Less than fifty breaths of this ship will be devoured by fire.


However, even Pratiwi and Yu were still focusing on the Laoya who was seen once using his magical power to fight an invisible enemy, who was nowhere to be seen. The pirate had stopped rolling on the deck. His body was now twitching as hard as it could, curving inhumanely.


“What should we do now, Pratiwi?” said Yu. He approached and was now beside his wife.


Yu had also returned to pay attention to the fire and the possible escape route for their safety. Instead, Pratiwi was still focusing on what was happening before his eyes.


“I wonder what Laoya actually saw. The problem of immunity and inner strength, even like the ravarontek or pancasona though I understand. Some warriors are able to have the ability to relieve the body that is quite extraordinary so that his body is like flying. I myself when I have recovered, my inner strength can make the science of lightening my body near perfect, its body like a feather of a bird. But, you saw for yourself, Yu. The body of the pirate was lifted into the air, without touching the floor. It has gone too far,” said Pratiwi at length. Every word he spoke was filled with the admiration of a warrior.


“Pratiwi, we can't be in this place for long. You see that the fire has been burning more and more wildly. It's free to face those invulnerable pirates. Whatever science he has, I'm not sure he can hold embers. Even if he is still able, we will die roasted, Pratiwi,” explained Yu.


“Wait, Yu. We have to watch this through to the end. I believe in Fong Pak Laoya. He could definitely finish this fight sooner. In fact, I was more interested and curious about what Laoya was looking at,” said Pratiwi coldly.


“Ah, dammit,” thought Yu. Many times he was reminded that Pratiwi the wife was a female warrior. There was never a time for the Pratiwi not to pay attention to things that attracted his short-sighted soul.


Pratiwi is not wrong. Fong Pak Laoya was indeed looking at things that could not be seen with the eyes of a human head.


Two supernatural figures, resembling the shape of a pair of humans with legs and hands similar but two-headed dogs shot out of the body of the pirate, causing his body that was without power to fall into the flames.


The man in the other corner looked disappointed. “I can't see anything. This battle with magic has always confused me,” he murmured to Yu. “Come, Yu. We leave this ship,” the order then to the husband.


Yu immediately nodded in agreement. He wanted to leave this ship. He quickly approached towards Fong Pak Laoya, then grabbed his arm and helped him up. “You're great, Laoya. Don't force me to monitor the fight let alone learn such a science. Anyway you are great. You also managed to keep my mind open to all things beyond my current medical thinking. But now we have to leave this ship,” Yu said at length quickly.


Before long these three men had already descended from the burning ship, leaping into the rowing boat belonging to the pirates.


“Then, where are we going now?” ask Yu.


Pratiwi pointed forward, where dozens of boats were floating in the river, covered in smoke billowing from various places.


“The only way is to follow the soldiers of Lan Xang who attacked the pirates. Our hope is that they succeed, so that we can board the great ship Lan Xang. If there is still a fight, I think we will still be able to face them, as long as our goal is to defend ourselves. After all, Lan Xang's hired soldiers numbered enough to help us,”.


Yu understood that Pratiwi himself was not sure of what he said. The plan to advance to the battlefield is not something that feels right. However, when fate has shown its face, man only has to accept and look at it.


Yu nodded steadily.
