Towards the Unbeatable

Act 22: Revenge

Victoria, who had come out of Tarnatus' body, fled in spirit to the south again, because she had spoken of Archifer, who had spoken of the Archifer, one of the things he should not have talked about before he had also kidnapped the councils of the Eastern Kingdom and brought them to a place in the south, a place called the Skull Valley.

As long as Victoria controlled Tarnatos' mind she prepared all plans and carefully monitored his every action so that he was not suspected, even if he had to fail then there was at least something he could take advantage of by kidnapping the eastern royal councils.

The valley called the skull is a foggy place around the mountains to the south so wide this place up to two thousand kilometers, he said, originally this place was just an ordinary valley but because of the thick fog made the visibility restricted many who passed through this valley disappeared instantly.

To cross from the eastern kingdom to the southern kingdom there are two ways, namely, by a detour or through the valley of this skull, the detour took ten days longer than the valley which took only three days.

Many rumors circulating that many traders and knights are lost after passing through this valley, because the detour takes longer then people prefer to pass through the valley without knowing the risks that exist.

The eastern and southern kingdoms did not speak about the existence of this skull valley, even discussing about it never, everyone or any creature that entered into the valley was responsible for itself.

--------------

Victoria kidnaps Zelo, Chart, and Erei while inside Tarnatos' body by manipulating their minds, as if they were about to travel to the southern kingdom through a valley path.

Zelo, Chart, and Erei are still in control of Victoria is in the valley of the skull, Victoria who has retreated from the body of Tarnatos approaching those who are tied near the tree.

Their minds were empty and in complete control of Victoria. Victoriasun unleashed his magic from them and they were confused by their present existence.

Zelo who was a strong warrior was not struggling when his mentality was played

"A..aaaa..this..where?" Ask Zelo

"Hihihi, we are in the valley of the skull" replied Victoria

"Teng valley..korak?'

"Yes..."

Erei started talking

"To..napa.we can...are in..here?"

"I kidnapped you..."

"Why?"

"Someone of your people has made me ashamed before my king.."

"?"

The three of them were still half-conscious and confused to hear Victoria's words

"..."

Victoria saw that as they were in her control had traveled a long way without eating and drinking for several days, their physical condition began to decline in a state of limp in food intake.

But Victoria did not think about it, she only wanted revenge on the person who had embarrassed her before Archifer, she already knew when dealing with Danny but because of his negligence he had not had time to fight with him.

Victoria only wanted to fish so Danny could meet her in the valley of the skull to achieve his goal, he took the eastern royal council hostage.

He plans to wait a few days until Danny appears before him in the valley of the skull.

---------------------

Danny, along with Cecilia and Forhan, are assigned by King Tarnatos to search for the missing councillors, according to information obtained from Tarnatos that Victoria is holding them hostage in the valley of the skull, Forhan was surprised by the statement because he did not think he had to go to the place that was rumored to be terrible.

Danny chose Cecilia and Forhan because they had been adventuring together so they knew each other, because Tarnatos had previously offered to bring in the best soldiers of the kingdom, but it was rejected by Danny. The three of them will carry out the mission.

Due to the location of the skull valley which is far away on the border of the eastern and southern kingdoms, it is impossible to have time for a regular trip with horses, Tarnatos who had the magic of tutoring was able to move the three of them directly towards the valley of the skull.

The condition of this teleportation magic is that the user must never be where he wants so that by using magic and mind power, this magic can be used for yourself or others.

Tarnatus himself was never really in the valley of death, he was only ever in the 'entrance' alone.

Danny and the others prepare, and Tarnatos will soon teleport them to the valley of the skull from the royal chamber.

When the magic begins, Danny's completely disheveled vision looks like it's looking at a broken movie, it doesn't take long for them to finally arrive at the 'front' of the valley of death.

The three of them began to enter and walk through the place, many rocks and steep terrain resulting in each step they had to be careful coupled with limited visibility, it was as if they were in a thick fog.

"Hey, can we use magic here?" ask Danny

"No, we don't know what's in this place yet" Forhan replied

"It could be that the magic energy we release will attract the attention of the creatures around us" Forhan continued

"But I don't see any living things around us, all I can see is a thick, irritating fog"

"We don't know, you better watch out for Mr. Danny"

"Hmmm"

"I wonder why Cecilia called you 'master'" Forhan said

"A. I. I just want to call him that..." Cecilia is looking for a reason

Danny just chuckles and explains that his call is not important the most important thing is the relationship.

"What kind of relationship are you guys in?" Ask Forhan suddenly

"Eh?"

Danny and Cecilia are confused as to what to answer

"Ka.kami.adventurer friend"

"Yes...Right" said Cecilia agreed

Seeing their bashful statement Forhan became a little suspicious.

Suddenly Danny felt the aura of the presence of an extraordinary creature, he tried to digest the feeling of what entered his mind, but he was unable to do so.

"H-hey..."

"Do you feel someone's presence?"

Forhan and Cecilia answered no, which is where Danny found it strange why only he felt the air of creatures approaching them.

"A. I. feel the air of a creature.."

"Creatures?"

"Yes...Her presence was so great..."

"Is that a monster?" ask Forhan

"It's hard to recognize this weird air..."

"It could be anything..." The Danny

The three of them were on standby in the thick fog that was still surrounding them, in addition to blocking the view of the fog was also blocking the aura or air of the existence of someone so that the aura felt by Danny was vague.

***************

What will happen in this valley of the skull?

What kind of creature is approaching Danny and his friends?

Will the council be saved?

It all depends on the struggles of the three of them
