Isander and members of his group rest in a settlement that has been destroyed and collapsed.
The settlement was located a few kilometers from where they rested at midday. Many of the buildings around here are made of walls and bricks, but the buildings stand tenuous to each other, not close to one building to another.
That way, Isander and his group members found a building that would be worthy of being a place to spend the night for all of them.
A house made of wall walls still stands even though the top is destroyed and hollow. With Isander's ability, he could fix this quite easily.
They all clean and tidy the building to be comfortable when staying overnight.
After they all worked together in repairing this house, they immediately entered the house as soon as night came.
Inside lighting still uses oil lamps so that the light coming out of the building is not clearly visible.
Isander outsmart air holes or air vents by making a winding hole path leading up.
The light coming out of the hole can not penetrate the air hole to the outside so that from the outside view there is no visible light coming from the house.
The path of light coming out through the vent is blocked by the shape of a winding hole so that the light is not able to come out completely.
Inside the house, Isander was still silent while rubbing the body of Meisya who was sleeping next to Helen and Reren. His head was filled with the incident earlier this afternoon which made him cry bitterly.
Aqila, a friend of his wife who turned out to help him secretly, did not know what he meant to do that, but Isander had been waiting for Aqila to come if he was still alive.
Isander already considers Aqila has been killed, did not expect Aqila to be a Garuda City person, even became one of the less favored Garuda Community members Isander.
The reason Isander does not like Aqila now is that he is from Garuda City, especially including the right hand of the Garuda City government that Isander hates. The regulation of Garuda City is a factor Isander can hate them and the hatred spread to people who make regulations that are none other than Garuda City government officials.
If only Kota Garuda accepted him and his wife stayed inside, perhaps his wife would not have left. Meisya can live peacefully and always be shrouded in the affection of a mother.
The death of his wife was blamed on Garuda City and also himself who had no strength and weak.
Now he really did not want to get in touch with his name Garuda City and other cities, except to take advantage of the city from exchanging Agta Coins.
For now, he did not want to take revenge to the government of Garuda City, he wanted to live peacefully without any much trouble coming from the human side. The death of his wife did not want Isander to continue. Anyway, it's been a long time.
Enough of his family and wife to leave, he does not want the closest people to die again.
Another reason, Aqila who did not report that she was still alive, even though she already knew about her existence and Meisya. Before his wife's death, Aqila's figure that his wife had always wanted to see, he and his wife wished Aqila life and could meet her.
Knowing the truth, Isander hated Aqila and found it hard to forgive.
Isander was calming himself down and trying to forgive Aqila, it was difficult indeed, but Isander wanted to give it a try.
All the members of Isander's group chatted in a weak voice so as not to disturb Isander who was sitting quietly closing his eyes while rubbing Meisya's back.
They know that Isander needs time right now. To be honest, they all still do not think Isander has a friend who is a famous Agter in Garuda City.
Hearing Isander and Aqila's unintentional chatter made them slightly understand what happened between Aqila and Isander.
In the past there was an event that killed Isander's wife, Aqila who was an Agter did not come and help because she should not know. This incident made Isander disappointed in Aqila until the disappointment turned into hatred.
The nature of Isander who does not like Garuda City is already known by all members of this group or team. Naturally, if people close to us turn out to join the enemy group and we respond to him by hating him.
Moreover, when we do not know that our close friend is still alive, it turns out he helps us without wanting to meet us. That's something painful.
Living in ignorance is painful and terrible.
However, according to them, Isander was too exaggerated to Ice Frail. Supposedly, he hugged each other first because they had not met for a long time.
Unfortunately, they also felt guilty about this because they had told the characteristics of Ice Frail, and it turned out that it was similar to the characteristics of Aqila.
Isander immediately learns that Aqila has Ice Frail, especially when Aqila takes out an ice wall to resist Isander's attack.
Last dinner, Isander really didn't speak much to all of them, she just spoke to Meisya and it was so profound.
Tonight, they expect Isander to return to being the Isander he should be, not as sad as he is today.
Sitting cross-legged, Isander began meditating and sending his consciousness into the dark room where Cenagon was.
Cenagon who first saw Isander gloomily immediately asked in a joking tone, "Hey, why are you so moody? Is there a monster that beat you to tears?"
"No. I just met someone" Isander replied as he walked towards the throne.
"someone? Are you not happy to have met someone? Is that the enemy?"
"Somehow, I'm confused."
Isander gripped and ruffled his hair, he looked like a depressed person.
Seeing Isander like this made Cenagon anxious. Now he was no longer joking and started asking serious questions.
"Did that person disappoint you to the point of making you this way?"
"Tell me what happened today, I'm trying to help you get better."
Leaning on the throne, Isander looked at Cenagon in front of him and tried to explain what happened to him today.
Throughout Isander's story, Cenagon remained silent and responded briefly. This creature is trying to understand the story of the events that happened to Isander.
"I don't think you should be like that. Didn't he apologize? I'm sure he really wants to apologize to you."
"Why hasn't he apologized before? He already knows where I live, and all he does is watch me from afar and hide away."
This made Cenagon confused. He looked at Isander and tried to find a sentence that could change Isander for the better in responding to this incident.
"Maybe he didn't want you to see him then and wait for the right time, but he just found out that the place you live in has been attacked and you disappeared. And some time ago he was looking for you, and now happens to meet you," Cenagon said after thinking about the incident that could have happened to Aqila.
Cenagon's sentence made sense and Isander fell silent to think of the possibility.
It could be that Aqila wanted to apologize back then, but was preceded by monsters attacking her settlement so it was delayed, and had only met her again now.
However, Isander was not sure of this.
Regardless, Isander will try to forgive him, according to his choice and Cenagon.
From the bottom of his heart, Isander did not want his closest people to die, including Aqila.
Isander comforted himself apart from thinking about Aqila by training his control of the abilities inside the Cenagon room. He could not meditate to practice the ability of wood and others that required him to meditate.
Swooshes!
A wave of black energy with a purple electric arc shot out and crashed into something of a dark wall.
The damage produced by the energy waves from Dark Spear was profound and intense.
The walls made of the pure energy strength of Cenagon were slightly cut off with a depth of more than 5 centimeters.
According to Cenagon this damage was enough to kill many monsters out there, but he did not tell what level of monsters this Dark Spear could kill.
In addition to Dark Spear, Isander unleashed his ability to create a ball of compressed thunderstorms into small-form storms.
However, the damage was not as good as Dark Spear, it only made a small hole less than 5 centimeters deep.
Isander did not expect this Dark Spear to be the most powerful, even if it was compared to the Ball of Storm.
However, Cenagon said that the Ball of Storm has a better effectiveness if killing enemies in large quantities. Its yellow electricity was useful for incapacitating or killing monsters around the explosion.
Meanwhile, the purple electricity that enveloped the Dark Spear black colored energy was more attacking to 1 target.
Cenagon's statement was indeed true, Dark Spear's purple electric arc did not spread too much to other enemies, he was more attacking to the main target to death, but there were sometimes cases of purple electric arcs destroying other enemies.
In retrospect, this purple electric arc was stronger than the electricity on the Ball of Storm. Especially when the main target is off, the purple electricity will attack other enemies close to the main target.
Whether it was Ball of Storm or Dark Spear, Isander used both at any time, just how he wanted to wear them.
Isander instead chose to use other abilities, such as the Finger of Flame, Foot and Hand of Earth, and Wood Control.
The ability he uses depends on his wishes alone, not so special one of the abilities must be used for on what terrain.
Practicing in the room where Cenagon lived, the weight of his mind and his heavy heart felt better than ever.
He was quite amused by this exercise, the thought of Aqila no longer dominating his head.
Before leaving the room, Cenagon said in a deep voice, "Remember, Isander. You have a child that you must take care of, do not let your guard down and do not underestimate the opponent. Truly, you do not know how strong the opponent is. So, you have to be serious in the fight."
"Well, I get it. Thank you, Cenagon." Isander nodded and smiled.
"Okay, I'm waiting for you tonight. See you soon."
"See you later ...."
Isander's figure gradually faded away like smoke in the wind, and Isander's existence vanished completely from this room.
Looking at Isander who was leaving, Cenagon fell silent while looking at the position where Isander stood before completely disappearing.
"I feel like this man's body has something stronger than mine. The longer I'm here, the more energy is drained from what I should be giving, as if this man's body is absorbing my energy without permission" Cenagon murmured with an invisible expression on his face.
The entire body of Cenagon is made of something dark energy so that its form is not clearly visible to the eye.
Cenagon felt something strange in Isander's body. Unfortunately, he could not do anything, nor did he refuse and let something devour his strength little by little.
He thought it was a good thing for Isander. To the heirs of his strength, he had no problem with this strangeness.
"Reza, when are we gonna get there?" asked Isander with a flat face.
Reza who heard this immediately replied according to his estimation, "Today or tomorrow we will arrive."
"Okay, let's go!"
Isander stood up while holding Meisya and walked to the door of the house.
His group members who were behind followed and came out of the house in an orderly manner.
The area of this village is not too broad, after the last destroyed house building they passed through high trees can already be seen from a distance.
They return to the forest to reach their destination to Komodo City.
Of course, the direction they make the benchmark still remains the same, namely the east direction.
Early on in the journey, they had already encountered many vines that were moving quickly beyond the running speed of Senior Agter.
The vines are more and more and they no longer come one by one, but simultaneously in numbers not a little like a group of troops raiding the opposing army.
Every passing plant near them, Isander and his group members destroy them.
They did this because they had the same premonition, this plant seemed to be controlled by monsters. Agter is unlikely to do this amazing thing.
Not long after they came out of the residential area where they had stopped, they all heard a loud noise that made their ears hurt.
Ahaahhh!
All the leaves in the trees around them became tilted backwards, due to the wind that blew fiercely from their front.
Reren with both shields walked to the front of the line guarding the group members from this strong wind.
They had no idea that Isander had activated the Wind Barrier and enveloped them all.
After the loud noise and the strong wind appeared, the tremors felt by Isander and the others made them subdue their bodies to maintain the balance of the body.
The tremor did not last long and suddenly disappeared.
Sensing this, Isander asked his members to stay away from the forest, and go to the settlement where they spent the night.
Their distance to the settlement was not so far away, they still had time to leave.
"Quick go, I feel danger in front of us!" isander told them all.
They did not move and remained silent. Not yet had they thought, the tremors on the ground reappeared making them aware.
"Go! I'll meet you in the settlement at the back!"
After saying that, Isander jumped himself on top of the tree and moved jumping from tree to tree very quickly.
Reza immediately led all the members to return again to the settlement.
At this moment, right at a distance of 2 kilometers from where Isander and his group were separated, a giant living creature stood upright, similar to a deer that had large horns, a giant creature, his entire body was enveloped by plants that were fused with each other.
This giant looks angry, he moves his head left and right as if he is attacking something.
"Feel this!"
A human figure was standing on the neck of this monster, he slashed at the plant that was on the neck of the giant using his sharp weapon.
