Yuna was on the ground.

Shortly after the fight began, Dirga strengthened her hands and feet and utilized the dexterity of her body to deliver a surprise attack to Yuna.

Yuna, who did not expect this, failed to defend herself at the right time so a crushing blow flew into Yuna's stomach and pushed her far enough back.

Julia who saw this swiftly approached Yuna to see her condition.

“Is miss okay?” asked Julia who saw Yuna holding her stomach while grimacing in pain. Thankfully the punch did not make Yuna lose consciousness.

“Can you still continue the fight?” Julia asked a question again.

“Iya Julia, I can still fight” Yuna replied with a little stammering while trying to get back on her feet to continue the fight.

Julia returns outside the area so that Yuna and Dirga can continue their fight.

“Are you sure Yuna?” dirga asked who was also worried about Yuna's condition.

“Do not hesitate.” Yuna replied firmly.

“Alright if it wants you.” said Dirga while moving back to launch an attack.

Syut. Syut. Dirga's punch leads to Yuna's face. Yuna swiftly anticipated and avoided those blows. It seemed like Yuna was getting used to Dirga's speed.

Hard kick done by Dirga but successfully repelled by Yuna. Dirga moved back for a moment to look for the gap of attack.

It is used by Yuna to provide a counterattack. Not thinking much, Yuna used her energy to attack Dirga. The speed was beyond Dirga's expectations.

Buk.. Buk.. Buk. Not only punches, several hard kicks managed to enter and hit Dirga's body. The attacks continue to be launched. Dirga tried hard to avoid the attack but it was not only a powerful attack, but also very fast.

Many times Dirga tried to break away and give a counter-attack but in vain. All Dirga attacks were successfully avoided and even stopped. None of his attacks managed to injure Yuna. On the other hand, all of Yuna's attacks were launched very effectively.

It was a very unfavorable condition for Dirga. He's starting to get confused. On the sidelines of his confusion, Dirga felt that something was different. As time went on, the attack Yuna gave off seemed to slow down and not as fast as before.

“Has he getting tired?” dirga thought as she continued trying to avoid Yuna's punches and kicks.

“No, it doesn't seem like it's because of that. The intensity of the attack he did was still the same and the movement of my body also did not slow down at all.

“What is this?” Dirga surprised.

Dirga could see all the directions of the attack he received. The punches and kicks given by Yuna form an attack trajectory that can be clearly seen by Dirga. Not only the trajectory of motion, but also the trajectory of attack. Due to the trajectory, Dirga was able to make a prediction of the direction of Yuna's attack even before Yuna launched her attack.

This time, one by one Yuna's attacks could be avoided very easily. Yuna was a little surprised because Dirga who had been attacking him had now managed to dodge all of his attacks. Yuna's shock caused her to lose focus and momentum of the attack.

Yuna accelerated the attack and poured even more energy into her punch.

Dirga managed to dodge and gripped Yuna's hand. A heavy blow was fired by Dirga towards Yuna's wide-open ribs.

Arggh…. Yuna screamed in pain but refused to give up. A crushing blow also managed to give Yuna to Dirga's face to fall and release the grip of his hand.

Yuna moved back to take a deep breath.

Huh…. Huhhhhh…. The breaths of Yuna and Dirga cringed. This indicates that their physical condition has begun to decline.

Dirga stood up again. They tried to calm themselves down and prepare for the next attack.

Seen Dirga drain energy throughout his body. Dirga realized that he had managed to obtain a special ability related to his eyes. Aside from the movement of the opponent appears slow in his eyes, he is also able to see the trajectory of the opponent's motion and predict the direction of the next attack.

Another ability he realized he had acquired was analytical thinking skills. Dirga is able to see the attack options he can do and the percentage of success so that he can minimize the energy used and optimize the effectiveness of the attack. The abilities that Dirga gained

it has to do with his habit of reading novels. A person who enjoys reading usually has a higher focus. In addition, reading habits will make a person able to understand the context of his reading very quickly without having to read the text as a whole. This ability is called Skim Reading.

Wush….

Yuna moved quickly towards the left of Dirga and jumped to give a hard kick by utilizing the thrust and force of gravity so as to increase the destroyed power provided.

Dirga only made small steps and calmly avoided the attack.

Bruaa…. Duamm…. Yuna's kick hit the ground hard making the ground around her kick crumble. The kick also produced a loud bang.

“Crazy…. Is she really a woman?” Thought Galih who saw Yuna make such an attack.

Knowing his attack had failed, Yuna made anticipatory moves by widening the distance for fear of Dirga making a counterattack. Yuna looked at Dirga standing up, but she was surprised to see that Dirga had disappeared.

Yuna felt a terrifying energy coming from behind her. He turned his head and was surprised to see the huge aura emanating from Dirga's body. Dirga held an object in each of his hands. It was kerambit.

Dirga looked at Yuna sharply while smiling coldly. Yuna's eyes widened as Dirga suddenly disappeared from where she was standing and appeared right in front of her face. The two kerambit that Dirga was holding at the moment led right into Yuna's eyes. Yuna stared and was unable to avoid the attack.

Arrrrgggh……. Yuna closed her eyes and shouted loudly because of the intense fear.

Braaaak. Dirga still continued to slide and stopped right on the big tree where the other members were standing. Dirga suffered severe internal injuries. It was shown from the black blood that came out of his mouth. But that did not make Dirga lose consciousness. Just before Dirga received the attack, she managed to protect her body with CORE energy. If he had not done so, his life would have been threatened.

“Dirga...!” Shouted Darma followed with worried eyes from the other team members.

Dirga tried hard to look towards Yuna. Just now Dirga was able to confirm his victory, but suddenly something with tremendous force hit his body. He had no idea what had attacked him.

Not only Dirga, everyone in the place was very surprised by what they were witnessing.

It was noon, the sun was shining very brightly. Even at the top of the mountain, the temperature in the area was quite warm. But something beyond reason they're watching. The field they were fighting in turned into an ice pole. Snow grains are scattered in the area so that the trees with green leaves turn white.

The more surprising thing is that there are many stalagmites right in front of Yuna's body. The stalagmite has a very pointed and sturdy tip. Like a formidable fortress protecting Yuna's body.

“Crazy... I was attacked using a stalagmite like that all of a sudden? Thank goodness I was able to strengthen the body's defenses. Otherwise, I would have died” thought Dirga.

Yuna herself was unaware of this. The moment Yuna opened her eyes, she was as surprised as the other team members. He thought that he would lose and die by the attack that Dirga had launched earlier. But it turned out that the fear of death pushed a huge force out of his body and produced something very extraordinary.

Yuna looked at Dirga who was lying under a tree with the rest of the team. He was again shocked by Dirga's current condition.

“What is it me?” yuna thought with a feeling of worry.

Dirga still has a fighting spirit. He tried his hardest to stand up.

“Stop Dirga.. This is enough” shouted Darma.

“Master, stop! It's not a life-and-death fight.!” Julia also shouted because she was worried to see Dirga.

“Stop stupid...!” Rama also tried to stop Dirga. While Galih and Ayu could not comment much. They were so shocked that they were unable to say a word.

Rama, Darma and Julia saw that Dirga still wanted to continue fighting so that none of them dared to stop Dirga forcibly. They realized that it was the pride of a warrior.

Tap.. Tap. Tap.. Dirga again approached Yuna slowly and limped. In plain view

mata, it was very clear that Dirga would no longer be able to continue the fight. It was his fighting spirit that was able to make him endure. Dirga expended the rest of the energy he had to form two pieces of flakes and effortlessly made the horses attack.

Yuna shed tears when she saw Dirga's condition. He was also deeply moved by the fighting spirit shown by Dirga.

“I give up...” Yuna said with tears still flowing.

“What did you say..!?” dirga asked with a cold look.

“I give up...” Yuna repeated her words while wiping her tears.

“Don't underestimate me Yuna...!”  Shouted Dirga.

Uhuk... Uhuk.

“I don't underestimate you Dirga. You really amazed me. I don't even know

how can you get hurt like this. I lost.” Yuna said with a smile while still streaming tears.

Yuna's words touched Dirga's heart and made her slightly flattered.

Bruaa…. Dirga lost consciousness and instantly his body fell on the snow-covered ground.

Julia moved back very deftly. He took out a pink root that wrapped around Dirga's body gently to bring her down the tree. Then Julia also made a protective cocoon to treat the injuries suffered by Dirga.

“Dirga suffered severe internal injuries. It is amazing for him to be able to stand up and expend energy with a wound like this” Julia said while trying to treat Dirga using her cocoon.

“What Dirga can be cured Julia...?!” ask Yuna.

“Calm down, you're talking to the strongest man here” Darma told Yuna.

“Nona Yuna need not worry, I will exert all the abilities I have to make Mr. Dirga recover as before” said Julia trying to calm Yuna. Julia perfectly understood the worry Yuna was feeling.

“It's all my fault” Yuna said with back tears.

“I know what Miss Yuna thinks. Calm down...” Julia hugged Yuna to make her feel better. Julia's hug was very warm. His heart slowly began to calm down.

It turned out that Julia also used her energy to Yuna. The energy possessed by Julia can not only heal physical injuries, but also mental injuries.

“Nona Yuna sit down first. I have prepared warm water and light snacks to help calm yourself” said Julia.

“ Rama, Galih and Ayu were shocked.

“Julia... When did you prepare all this?” rama asked with a surprised face. Rama's question was only answered with a smile by Julia.

“Hey Yuna's…. Please remove ice cube dong.” Rama said to Yuna, offering her a glass of water.

Placard…. Darma again clinched Rama's head.

What Rama did was nothing but to comfort Yuna. Sure enough, Yuna smiled with Rama's mannerisms.

“We will take a break and start the fight between Galih and Ayu in a moment.”.

“Sorry Mr Darma, will we fight in the snow like this?” ask Galih while pointing at the field that is still covered in snow.

“Eh...” Darma gasped for forgetting that the field was still covered in snow.

“Ehmm…. It was a challenge for you guys” said Darma while trying to look authoritative.

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

Kerambit is a small curved-shaped hand-held knife originating from Minangkabau, West Sumatra, Indonesia.

Kerambit is often used in the martial art Silat. The shape of the kerambit itself is inspired by the claws of the Tiger which was a lot of wandering in the forests of Sumatra at that time. In addition to Indonesia, kerambit is also a fairly famous martial tool in Malaysia and the Philippines and several other southeast Asian countries.
