WHITE DEVIL

49 Enemies Actually

All of the phenomena inside Arkkana are very unusual. Most of the pedestals here are hard rocks, only a little is soil, it is also very infertile soil.

However, I don't know why various vegetation can grow. Clumps, trees, flowers and many others. It feeds the people and their livestock.

That's just the land. The ceiling here, how can it glow? The ones up there are nothing but hard rocks, stalactites, and giant stalagmites. Likewise with the existence of a large river that is not far from residential residents.

How could there be in the depths of Arkkana such a unique formation?

Land that mysteriously grows plants, lighting that does not know its origin, and the reason why the rivers in the earth even flow here. It's not that this is too strange to call intentionally.

And lastly, in a place like this supposedly the Full Flower grows.

Yuvan thought about it.

Along the way to the fields of the Full Flower, the four migrants were treated to a view of the dense leafy pepohan. The beautiful forest.

Green trees, vines, ferns and spikes. Everything grows there. A small stream drenched its soil, providing livelihood for the plants above it. Yuvan grew dizzy thinking about all this.

“Nek Ni Minah, why various plants can grow here. As far as I know the depth of the earth is composed of hard rocks that do not allow for plants to grow. No hara element.” Yuvan finally gave up and asked.

Grandma Ni Minah stopped her steps. His eyes could see the nakedness and youth in front of him.

“Grandma doesn't know that well either. Everything just happens. By the time we got here, everything was like this.” Grandma then continued the journey.

Yuvan was not satisfied with the answer. That doesn't answer the question at all.

Arif's eyes stared at the trees around him, growing wide and lush. Green and soothing. Who would have thought there was a forest on earth. Arif was still stunned, admiring all this.

Hero. He who seemed to be less interested in the prowess of the Arkkana depths. The hero is very focused on the purpose of this journey, the search for the Full Flower. Every time he thought up ahead there was a field of Full Flowers, his chest was beating faster.

Wira's right fingers were tightly clenched. I don't know what he's thinking now, but from Faga's observation, his best friend can't wait to pick the flower.

Faga knows who the hero is. The son of a great wanderer. Just like Arif, Wira is a human descendant of white hair, but does not inherit the trait.

Since her mother died, Wira has lived her days horribly. His father did not hesitate to hit him or snatch him with rattan if he did not comply. Several times Faga saw the incident directly, an incident that must have made anyone slice.

The left eye of the Hero is blind also because of the cruelty of his father.

When Faga felt all this had exceeded the limit, he chose to go forward, shouting at Mr. Wira like a madman. Faga was really angry at the time. If it ignored manners, surely Faga had already thrown a lot of fists into the face of this ruthless man.

But not happy. Wira tells Faga to leave her. He gave himself up to be beaten that long by his father. He said it was part of the maturation.

That answer made Faga's heart cry. A child who gives himself up as the target of his own father's emotional outbursts. Why did you choose that?

That is the question that has crossed the mind of Faga since then and until now Faga has not been able to get the certainty of the answer. The hero chose not to disturb his past. His friends think so too. It will only open old wounds.

Faga looked his eyes forward. He stepped foot slowly, passing the tendril plants below and various knee-high nail plants. This forest was completely dense despite being quiet from the sound of beasts.

There are very few animals living here. Those with high adaptability. The majority are insects and small animals.

“Is it still far away?” Say polite Faga.

“A minute. Look at that end. Well that's where the Full Flower field is.” Reply Grandma Ni Minah. Hearing him, Wira wanted to speed up the steps, but was held back by Faga.

“Pelan-pelan course.” Faga.

They went through the thick forest. Arrived on a green open ground. Very broad.

It's very refreshing here. The winds blew fiercely, shaking the grass at foot-high. The ceiling is very bright, even brighter than in populated areas.

“Yuvan what is a big gap?” Arif asked while pointing at the ceiling.

Yuvan was quite surprised after seeing it. Maybe, just like the answer he gave from the change in facial expression. His eyes continued to look at the area that Arif pointed to, there was a glittering powder of light rising there.

This place is getting interesting to explore.

“Come, we'll be there soon.” Said grandma in a slightly hoarse tone.

Faga reflexes touching the algae of his sword. His suspicions grew over all this. Faga tries to keep acting normal.

According to information from senior Tein, he met the Sun Grasper inside Arkkana. This enemy has a high level of duplication ability. He was able to imitate the victims he had killed.

Sound to habit. Senior Tein even suspected the enemy this time could access the memories of his victims. In the physical sense, it is not even kidding. As one of the best soldiers of the Sun Protection Force, senior Tein could not do much in front of him.

“How to?” His inner.

“Ya is here.” Said Grandma Ni Minah stopping her steps.

Arif, Wira, Yuvan, da, Faga were instantly fixated on the spot. In front of them was a basin like a lake without water. Inside the room grew a lot of flowers. Beautiful and charming.

Blue petals with yellowish white patches. Unmistakably, it was a Full Flower that had yet to bloom. Arif, Wira, and Yuvan went straight down, the three of them running, scrambling to see the Full Flower up close.

“See them, very curious about something.” Said Grandma from beside Faga.

“Grandmother right.” Faga loosened his voice and calmed his inner turmoil.

By looking at the beauty of the Full Flower directly, Faga realized that her suspicions were very disrespectful. It is aimed at middle-aged women.

“Grandma, can we temporarily settle in the village until the Full Flower blooms?” Ask Faga in a low tone.

“Talk what you're talking about Faga. You don't need permission to stay in our village. We, the natives of Arkkana, have been a hundred years more blessed with the outside world. We're locked up here without knowing what's going on out there. The arrival of the four of you is a blessing for us. We are very happy to receive you.” Reply to grandma with a slightly hoarse tone.

Grandma started to step down. He also wants to join the fun of young people. Faga held onto Grandma's arm, helping her not to slip.

“Thanks.”

@@@

Yuvan knows this because the Arkkana depths also have morning and night cycles. That stone ceiling will in a certain time be bright and getting brighter. In time others will dim and lose their light.

Another thing that makes Yuvan even more surprised by the depth of Arkkana and also the truth of the Full Flower that does not match the field guidebook.

According to Grandma, the ceiling here is bright and dark because of the Full Flower. True, the Full Flower has the ability to produce light.

Plants usually convert light, water, and nutrients into energy. It is different with the Full Flower. Full flowers do not need light to grow, but they produce light.

The light then illuminates the sky until a time the Full Flower needs rest. When the Full Flower rests, the sky will darken and that's when night falls. That's what Grandma told you, the information that Yuvan couldn't believe. Logic cannot move here.

This time the four are mingling with the population. Although living in the depths, in terms of food, habits, clothing, and culture, the inhabitants of the depths of Arkkana are not much different from surface residents so that the four can quickly blend in.

The area occupied by the population is in a large space that the distance between the corners reaches tens of kilometers. Enough size to build a city.

Kind of activity circling here. All for one purpose, filling free time with happiness. The inhabitants of the Arkkana depths have no high purpose. The reason they live is to fill life with goodness in Arkkana.

No one expected to find the outside world.

That is what makes them live simple. They don't expect high things. They have no big ambitions for anything. However, choose to be grateful for what they have held.

Arif learned a lot of life from them.

Arif and Faga this time were in the middle of the forest. Both of them with a father and son were looking for wood to be used as charcoal. The father was benama Ki badhu, while his son was named Na adi.

The residents of Arkkana City used the affix in front of the name to indicate its position.

Na Adi is a very cheerful seven-year-old boy. He is always eager to do something, his action always gathers the laughter of people. The residents are always happy with the presence of Na adi.

“Kakak, can help fill this water container.” Na Adi told Faga. Each of his hands carried a large bucket-like object.

Faga also changed with Arif splitting the wooden trunk. Arif received a sharp axe from Wira and began to continue his duties.

“Good.” Said Faga while taking one of the buckets. He gave a happy smile to Na Adi.

The boy seemed very happy to be with Faga. Since their first meeting, Na Adi has shown interest in Faga. Maybe now he thinks Faga is his older brother.

Both are similar in terms of smiling habits. They both always smile. Very suitable to each other. Faga agrees, Na adi's behavior reminds her of her childhood.

“Hei brother. Why do you want to get the Full Flower.” Na Adi said while echoing the bucket in the river flowed quietly.

“By finding the Full Flower, I am sure that many people will be happy.” Reply Faga from the river bank.

Faga approaches, starting to throw himself together with Na adi.

“Then, brother is not profitable. Didn't get any” Reveal Na adi. That made Faga a little surprised. Kids his age are already thinking about profit and loss.

“No, not so. Brother even got something most precious, everyone's smile.” Reply Faga happily.

Na adi ber-oh long and then continue his activities.

Faga had finished filling his bucket, as well as Na adi. Both of them sat on the river bank while enjoying the beauty of the depths of Arkkana City. The two talked very familiarly.

“Hei Na adi's. Why do you and other residents never want to see the outside world?” Faga conveyed his target. Faga seemed enthusiastic about this question. His voice and face were very excited.

“Why yes? Na Adi also did not understand. Na Adi felt that she had lived here enough. Here very beautiful.” He answered while raising his hand and placing emphasis on the word beautiful. The funny attitude came out again.

Faga smile.

“That's true. I thought you had bigger ambitions than that.” Faga stood up and looked at Na Adi with a sharp look. Sounds threatening. Children will cry when they see Faga like that.

So too with Na adi.

Na is terrified by Faga's reaction. Eyes glazed. Na adi ran away. Her tears were flowing down her cheeks.

Na adi was shocked to the point of falling. Faga was suddenly in front of him.

Faga's action was not only that, he raised a sword eye to the throat of the eight-year-old child.

Na Adi's tears are flowing. Look Na adi's eyes dead. So scared, he could not get the words out.

“Couple your password.” Threat Faga. Both of them are taper.

“Yes, the intuition of a Liberator is indeed extraordinary.”

This time a vile smile was drawn on Na adi's face. He began to rise to his feet and slowly his body went through a metamorphosis.

The flesh within his body gushed out, swallowing his human body. Na Adi's funny face is lost in the flesh. The black flesh then deflated and docked each other, forming a different figure as tall as Faga.

The disgusting transformation is complete.

Pale gray skin and two crocodile eyeballs, veins and muscles that arise throughout the body. Not wrong again, he is the Sun Grasper.

Faga stared intently as he prepared his sword blade.

“What kind of a look is it. I know you won't be able to kill me right now.” Said The Sun Grasper. The smug smile he showed off.

Faga is still in position. There was not a single trace of fear that he showed.

The Sun-grasper laughed instead. “What courage and determination. Seeing you fight without anything makes me always laugh. And what the fuck was your answer, everyone's smile? That's a completely unfavorable thing.”

The Sun-grasping Clasp brought his mouth closer to Faga. “The Full Flower is blooming soon and that's when we'll attack you all.” The Whisperer of the Sun Grasper.

After saying that he passed and changed his form to Na adi again. Faga took a deep breath, trying as calmly as possible.

Na Adi smiled wickedly in front of him. “My name is Qocakau. I look forward to your fight, Faga Dwi.”
