As expected, persuading the Moros was an easy job. As soon as he saw Bail and Ila, Moro had no other choice. He immediately agreed from the beginning Mambacha explained the purpose of his arrival.
But the journey of gathering strength is not always smooth. Batari Mahadevi and Nala also passed through the island of Campayana. Both of them could easily catch the presence of the demons on the island. Not just one they realize, but a whole bunch.
“Nala, stop first,” says Batari Mahadewi. “From that direction, there are six or seven great-powered demons. Are we willing to fight them?”
“If not us, then who else. Let's just meet them. At least, we'll know what they're doing!” nala.
“Then let's go there!” bring Batari Mahadewi.
The presence of the two who were so sudden certainly surprised Mambacha and his colleagues. Moreover, when they recognized one of the figures of the two people who had just come.
For a moment, the two sides silently looked at each other, grasping at each other's strength. The demonic creatures were convinced that the young man was the incarnation of the prince of darkness. But they did not understand why he was with the woman who radiated the power of the gods.
“Mambacha..is not that..” Bail can not hide his surprise even though he is a demon.
“True. He is what we are looking for. Don't be rash. Something strange,” said Mambacha. He walked closer to Nala and Batari Mahadewi who had earlier put on an alert attitude.
“What's your name, young man?” Mambacha tries to test Nala's memory.
“Why don't you salute me!” Nala tries to play her role as the prince of darkness. Mambacha became increasingly hesitant.
“Give you respect? Hahahaha..” Mambacha is still persistently trying to cope with the situation.only he is a demon who can do such a thing.
“Have you not recovered so you can't recognize me?! It should be the queen who raised you. Where is he now?” This time Nala's question had made Mambacha and the other demons have to kneel in salute.
“Excuse us, prince!” said those demons.
“Stand. Tell me what you're working on right now?” ask Nala.
“We are gathering strength to find the whereabouts of the prince. But we didn't think the prince was born again. But, who is the figure of the beautiful lady, prince?” Mambacha.
“She's the god girl who raised me. You should have recognized his power, right?! Meanwhile, we will work with the gods to fight against the giant nation!” nala. He felt what he said was correct. What a pity, precisely those words made Mambacha again convinced that the soul of darkness was still locked in the body of the young man in front of him.
“So we will cooperate with the gods, prince? Why is there only one?” mambacha is now back in control of the situation. The play is ongoing.
“The other gods have fallen. You guys don't know about this either?” ask Nala.
“Force us, prince. We just got up and recovered. We don't know much about the developments that are happening. Why didn't the prince see the queen?” ask Mambacha.
“I'm looking for him. I thought you guys knew and therefore I came here!” nala.
“Sadly, the queen is currently with some of us on our way to Saramantha Island, far east to raise troops in the region. In the meantime, we are tasked with gathering strength in the region. The queen advised, we must do this task as soon as possible, prince.” Mambacha hopes his efforts this time succeed.
Mambacha felt that he was in an unfortunate situation. If he does not use such subtle means, then he and his colleagues will face Batari Mahadevi who will certainly be helped by Nala. On the other hand, they cannot make Nala die because in her body is stored the soul of darkness.
Bringing Batari Mahadevi and Nala to Tirayamani is also not profitable, because the girl could have directly killed the queen. If that happens, all attempts will fail completely. Mambacha can hardly think clearly. So what comes to mind, for a while is to make Batari Mahadevi and Nala away from the Tirayamani region. Importantly, Mambacha already knew that the Dark Lord had risen. It only takes putting together a truly mature plan to awaken the soul of darkness in Nala's body.
Meanwhile, Nala does not know who Mambacha is and what has happened between them. Yang Nala knew, Mambacha and his comrades were dangerous demonic beings who were believing in his words.
Nala and Batari Mahadevi's goal was to kill the queen before she freed more demonic beings. So, after Mambacha said that the queen was on the island of Saramantha, the best option in Nala's mind was to immediately follow the queen and crush her.
“If the queen has ordered so, then do your duty. Let me meet the queen and explain all my plans,” Nala said.
“Good prince, then we will soon continue the journey.” Mambacha. He signals his friends to follow him.
The demonic creatures immediately darted away. They headed to the island of Tirayamani and informed the queen of the incident they had just met.
Meanwhile, Nala and Batari Mahadevi were still there, watching the demonic creatures fly away.
“What do you think, Dance?” ask Nala.
“Why this time it feels so easy. Among the seven demon beasts earlier, there was one that did not have the same mark as you. Then there was one in his body that stored hundreds of demon troops.I felt a little relieved, actually. If we had fought with all of them, it would have been a very difficult fight. At least, at this time we can estimate how the strength of our opponents, Nala.” said Batari Mahadewi.
“Yes, I also felt this time too easy. Do you think they believe what I say? Ask Nala.
“If judging from their attitude, it seems they believe. But we don't really know. And are you sure that the queen of darkness is on Saramantha Island? We don't even know where the island is!” batari Mahadewi.
Both of them were completely confused and did not know which decision to make. If they went to Tirayamani, while what the demon creature said was true, then both of them had given the queen the opportunity to free even more demon creatures. But if it turns out that the devil is lying, it means they are returning to Tirayamani and reporting what just happened to the queen.
“It's a hard choice, Dance. I really can't make a decision!” nala.
“Have you ever figured out anything by counting leaves? Of course it's just a joke. I used to do it when I was a kid,” Batari Mahadevi said.
“You mean?” Nala doesn't understand.
“Like this,” Batari Mahadewi takes a sheet of dried leaves. “We count the number of leaves. If it's weird we go to Tirayamani. But if it is even, we will go to Saramantha. How's tracking you?”
“Good. Let's just count. Whatever the outcome, it doesn't matter. Obviously, we'll know what games are going on right now. Because the meeting was too awkward. I know, that thing at the beginning of the meeting was pretending not to recognize me. Though, every demonic creature will recognize me even at a great distance,” Nala said.
“We also cannot draw conclusions on that. Who knows if he is testing you and wants to know if your consciousness has returned or not. The same attitude as that of the Sea Dragon demon and some of the demons that we had crippled before we were here,” said Batari Mahadewi.
“Already, let's just count this leaf segment!” Nala and Batari Mahadewi finally started counting the dried leaves. The result is even. That is, they have to go to Saramantha island which is not where it is located. To be sure, to the east as shown by Mambacha, the slippery-mouthed demon.
