Towards the Unbeatable

Act 401: Okay It's Starting Hard

"Continue? We're just about to start!" Forhan exclaimed in a loud voice and sounded in disbelief.

"What?!" Danny was stunned when he saw his friend's shattered greatsword then lit up brightly and every little piece of the weapon returned to being intact in the big man's grasp quickly.

"Urghs." Danny felt something was wrong with his hands now, feeling a little hot.

"What-what?!" Danny was shocked to see his hand that was now red— no, not only red but also bleed, no doubt his hand burned so badly that it blistered!

"Hmmm, I told you this is just the beginning, if you beat me fast it must be boring right?"

As if the big man felt Danny would be able to quickly defeat him, but it turned out that what happened was not like that.

Forhan looked at Danny seriously, now he was holding his now-reformed greatsword on his back, and changed its appearance like many blood-red lines in each curve of the greatsword.

"Danny wear this!" Vincent shouted from afar while throwing something at the silent Danny.

Quickly the young man raised his hand up and accepted the gift of his friend, surely it was a small bottle of recovery potion.

Danny realized that his luggage had been separated from his body, he no longer knew where the bag he was carrying which was where he stored various kinds of goods given by Mr. , ' he did not know , though the contents are various kinds of potions that can help him in this situation.

Without lingering for long Danny immediately gulped down the recovery potion given by his friend, the green liquid in the small bottle had finally entered his body.

"W-why is this?!"

"Huhaha! Danny do you think by drinking potions, the burns on your hands will be gone? Unfortunately, it was no ordinary wound!" Forhan laughed satisfied to see Danny who was astonished because the recovery potion that should be able to recover it had no impact.

His hands were still wet and reddish, drops of blood could not be contained anymore from both hands, the pain and pain went hand in hand and the longer the pain was even increased.

Danny who did not know the reason why his wound had not recovered could only guess one thing, this Demi-human-powered Forhan attack was an attack that could not be recovered in the usual way.

"The sword ...." Danny's focus is now on the reddish sword that Forhan has, the evil aura not only felt from his friend but from his sword as well.

And in the end he realized, Forhan's sword was not an ordinary weapon, it was like an object that had an extraordinary killing intent, which even his evil aura to the point of equaling that of the person holding the sword.

"The Eastern Kingdom? It's been some time since I was here ... This kind of messed up thing I rarely see." Forhan looked at the surroundings with a calm eye view, as if enjoying every scene where buildings were destroyed and the mixed cries of frightened people was a good thing.

Danny can no longer think of his friend as a friend he used to know, the same person but feels different; his desire to meet his adventurous friend when he first did well ended up like this.

"This destruction is what you want Forhan? Is this who you really are?"

"Hm?" Forhan looked at Danny in a serious way, his eyebrows looking down sharply and his face grim.

"Destroying this place is the easiest way to get your attention, Danny, I don't have to go looking for you anymore."

HUSH OUT!

Forhan moved from where he stood very quickly, even destroying what was under his footrest easily..

"Well, now give back the power you borrowed Danny!"

SHUUUT!

ZUUUNGG!!!

Danny could see clearly how Forhan attacked with his sword towards him, quickly he also advanced forward and punched the big man hard during his slow move.

BUCK!!!

HUUUSH!

The wind blew strong as a result of Danny's fist attack, Forhan who did not have time to realize what happened just now and was only astonished why he was bouncing far enough now.

Just like before, for the sake of stopping himself from this blow, Forhan quickly twitched and thrust his sword towards the concrete road and along with his sword clashed against the road, slowly he was able to stop it.

Now the distance and Danny was quite far, the big man was holding his own face and knowing for sure that indeed blood was coming out of his face, the attack was not felt too much, just that ....

"Danny, not only has he accumulated that one power of my race, how much has he actually gained?" Forhan muttered thinking about this.

On the other hand Danny who had gained a safe distance because his friend was already far enough away felt this fight was completely pointless, after all Forhan was his friend and that had not changed at all even though his own nature had changed.

"What am I supposed to do?"

***

Meanwhile Vincent, Brock and Patricia see all these events from afar, they are tense and have absolutely no idea why Danny and another stranger similar in size to Brock are at odds with each other.

"Hey Brock do you know the man who attacked Danny?" Vincent begins the conversation with the intention of wanting to know more clearly who the big, hairy, unusual-looking guy really is.

"Don't think if I look like I'm big then automatically I know him, I don't know what that guy's relationship is with Danny." Brock is also curious about foreigners who create chaos in a place that incidentally is the center of his own eastern kingdom.

"Hey, are you calmer little brother?" Patricia was still holding the little girl who had previously felt scared because of this incident, and it seemed that her fear had not completely disappeared.

The little girl appeared slightly and said quietly, "Te-thank you sister ...."

And after saying that he again drowned his face in Patricia's arms.

Patricia stroked the little girl's head gently and said, "Don't worry, we'll find your parents soon."

***

Danny sees Forhan walking casually towards him again, the face he had initially hit smoky as if it was burning, but Danny already suspects that the attack he launched was far from enough to stop Forhan.

"I've been letting you in for too long Danny, and also it seems you don't want to give me what I'm asking for ...." Forhan now knew the thing he was looking for, the power of the demi-human race had already fallen into the wrong hands.

"Forhan, this power I borrowed can eliminate evil in this world, even if I have earned the trust of your race, I can't give it to you." Danny said with a little weight, now he seems to have seized power from other races, but actually this power he borrowed must be used to fight the demon race.

"Faith? I can't deny it, Danny, but I need what's on you for something, if I can't get it then don't blame me if it's not just the precious gemstone that's missing." Forhan gave a deep warning, his eyes blank and dark as if he saw a mortal enemy he had long wanted to destroy.

Danny who does not know for sure the reason Forhan wants to have the power of a precious gem can now only consider it a threat, just as the Lord had warned him a while ago, who had trained him some time ago, the power of precious gemstones was not only targeted by demons alone, and it seemed as if it was proven by this incident.

"I understand Forhan." Danny could only see one clear reason for him to fight with his old friend, in order to protect this hard-earned power he had gathered, he said, although he still felt unworthy even when it came to borrowing the strength of this other race, there was no other choice for him.

"Sorry Forhan, I will never hand you a precious gemstone, no matter what." Danny stared intently at Forhan, he was urged to take responsibility for the three powers he has now, and certainly would never let anyone else aimlessly take them.

Sjsshhhh ....

As soon as the smoke around Forhan's face disappeared, the wound on his face was gone, now the situation was exactly the same as in the beginning.

Danny knows he needs more power to beat the other side of his old friend.

***

Meanwhile, in the center of his own eastern kingdom, the king, Tarnatus, was lying sick, at this advanced age— is the same as other royal leaders who are also elderly but rarely the kings of this kingdom are sick.

For the past few days, when Danny got to this place, the councilman was the one who took care of all the royal affairs, he said, these three eastern royal councils were senior soldiers from this place with their leadership and skills, the eastern kingdom could maintain its stability.

Rhart, Cleus and Ther were the buttresses on which this eastern kingdom could be stable even though the king was in this state of sickness.

Now the king had a special rest in the royal room and was accompanied only by one of the three councils.

"Rhart, what's that sound?" The king asked in a heavy and weak voice lying on his bed.

"It seems like there's a bad guy making a mess there, take it easy, Mr. Tarnatos Cleus and Ther have gone to see the outside events."

Tarnatus, the aged king of the eastern kingdom looked at Rhart meaningfully, his dim face very visible as proof that he was not okay.

Rhart who knew the condition of the leader of this region did not know what else to do, because he had deployed various ways so that Mr. Tarnatos could recover, but there was no one way that managed to cure him.

Now with the efforts he has put in, he can only give it all back to this Lord Tarnatos himself, with much hope that there will be a miracle that can make him healthy again.

"Rhart, what's with your face?" Tarnatos realized his council members were daydreaming like they were thinking about something.

"Ah no Sir, I only hope that Mr. Tarnatos can recover soon and can lead back this eastern kingdom."

Tarnatos looked up at the ceiling of his high room, for some reason, he recalled his previous reign as if in his mind again flashback to his life story during his time as king of the eastern kingdom.

"Rhart, don't ever depend on someone just because they're great or whatever, after all you can end up disappointed."

Rhart understood quickly what the king meant, he himself still very much hoped that Tarnatos could again lead this kingdom, but given the words of the king like this, he was still very hopeful that Tarnatos could again lead this kingdom, so Rhart slightly loosened his hopes.

"You know? I think I've been leading this eastern region for a long time, a lot of things have happened and every event I remember ...."

Tarnatos seems to be talking about his leadership all along.

"Dangerous events like this have happened before, the young man ... How is it now?"

Tarnatus spoke of the young man, Rhart himself took a while before he finally knew who the king really meant.

"The events of rebellion due to the influence of the devil ... Danny ...." However, Rhart never forgot Danny's service in helping stop the rebellion in the eastern kingdom first, as well as uncover the mastermind behind the problem at that time.

Now that he remembered, he finally had the same question where is Danny now?

***

BUGS!

BRACKET!

Now Danny and Forhan collide with each other, creating a violent gust of wind around the center of this eastern royal city.

The bare-handed Danny had already smashed Forhan's sword many times before, but each time it shattered, its small fragments instantly reshaped the greatsword, with increasing strength.

"Danny until you can never beat me! I am a powerful demi-human race!" Forhan's eyes stared intently as his greatsword rubbed against Danny's fist.

Krrriiiittt!!!

"Ughhh!"

Danny's condition is not the same as before, rather he is now suffering from many injuries caused by a special sword owned by his old friend.

While in his mind Danny did not find a way how to make his friend stop, especially if it continues and he remains like this precious gemstone will fall into the hands of others.

Damnit damnit! I've used physical strength and endurance at once! But Forhan's power is huge!

Danny could only look back at Forhan's violent eyes with a determination that was still burning, while inside he was pressed to think of how to get out of this situation.

Is it time for me to use the power of speed as well?!
