The Power Of The Ruler Of Nature
Episode 12 (Explore 2)

The journey that Raisa took with her three best friends is getting further and further. The field gradually drew closer to the belangaran forest full of hanging tree roots, the sound of crow's chirping cheering, wild squirrels, ape's voice but his form was not so visible, he said, tiredness felt by Damon, Pinky, and Asura.

“Raisa! We should find a resting place first. We are tired after three days and two nights of no sleep” exclaimed Damon.

“Alright, we break” exciting Raisa.

They are looking for a place to shelter around large towering trees. They descended from the horse on which they rode. Then they tied his horse to a tree branch with a slightly loose knot. Before taking a break Pinky told Asura and Damon to find firewood while she and Raisa looked for a bed to sleep on and prepared the food.

They started working on their own duties. Raisa takes the backpack containing the groceries that Rigby had prepared. Raisa and Pinky make a sandwich starting from long bread, tomatoes, pepper, and meat that has been made by Rigby. Then pour the white wine brought by the high priest.

After they finished all their tasks devouring their food in front of the bonfire. They enjoyed the meal after a long trip.

“Raisa, we have to be careful in this forest. Because I've heard that the forest here has inhabitants. The inhabitants here are cannibals and demons. Every night they stand guard in this forest. So when we sleep at least we wash ourselves with holy water given by the high priest to keep watch. The holy water given by the high priest is very powerful and powerful to avoid distractions like them while we sleep” explained Asura.

“I became inflamed” confess Pinky by rubbing the nape of the neck whose fur on the back feels cold.

“You can be close to me Pinky” Damon said.

“Ih.. Never going close to a guy like you” reject Pinky.

Damon clucked with Pinky's refusal.

Raisa shook her head looking at the two beings who were fighting each other fiercely over personal matters. Asura who was in the middle of the commotion stopped him.

“Stop it! Stop it! Shut up!” yell Asura.

“You can't be no fuss. It's a forest full of black creatures. When they hear your voice, we'll be in trouble” Asura's cry.

Damon and Pinky finally stop fighting after Asura stops them.

“Better we rest. Our journey is still long to get to the city. We must pass through valleys, hills, and caves. Tomorrow will be very tiring” said Raisa.

"All right, we're resting. Before leaving we must wash ourselves with holy water first in case there are demons or cannibals who want to attack us” said Asura.

Raisa took out a jug of holy water inside the backpack. Then hand out to Damon, Pinky, Asura. They washed themselves with holy water alternately. Then they rest.

...

In the middle of them being resting comfortably, there was a demonic figure coming. He surrounded the four creatures he hated with a stick while his mouth was gaping with a red robe.

“Before they destroyed my family. I will destroy you first. I will take you first to hell to accompany my relatives. Hahaha!!” his monologue.

Asura who was half asleep heard the laughter of demons echoing in his ears he was alert as well as Raisa.

“Wire, that demon will definitely kill us. Are cannibals also in the devil's cabal? May he quickly go” Inner Raisa by pretending to sleep.

“I can't let my guard down, when I let my guard down how fate Raisa is. I can't attack him first. If that demon can break through the sanctity that the high priest gave me then I must protect them especially Raisa. I'll see first how the demon attacked us”the inner Asura.

The devil calls his crocoes, including cannibals, to exterminate the creatures they hate.

“O dear brothers, come, here there is a refreshing prey, you will all enjoy fresh meat and fresh blood” said the man by telepathy.

It didn't take long for a pack of demons and cannibals to arrive. Raisa and Asura heard the voice feeling goosebumps. They close their eyes pretending to sleep. Raisa keeps saying a prayer, “great god, please give us protection. Protect us from these evil creatures” said Raisa's heart.

While Asura who slept across there hoped his friends get protection from the gods, especially Raisa who had just first recognized this kind of frightening environment.

The devil drew closer to Raisa. When he was about to touch Raisa's shoulder, suddenly his hand was burning. Same with the other demons. Then the red-clad demon man got angry and asked the cannibals to prey on the four humans but the cannibals could not touch and in the end they left with a body that felt hot like a fire devouring their bodies. All the black creatures went, especially the red-hooded male demons who claimed to be messengers from Lucifer went along.

Raisa and Asura who were still holding their eyes shut had not heard a roar and they opened their eyes. Raisa felt relieved after seeing the demons and cannibals go missing from her eyes.

“Raisa” call Asura who stands before him. Raisa raises her head.

“Asura” gumam Raisa.

Asura took a seat close to Raisa.

“Did you hear the roars of demons and cannibals?” ask Asura.

Raisa nodded her head.

“What do you think of them?”

“When I heard their roars it made my hair stand up and my nape felt cold especially earlier when the demons approached me making my heart beat like it was going to be dislodged. They were so horrible when I peeked at those in pain. Moreover, the cannibal is very disgusting because it continues to salivate sticky” explained Raisa.

Asura laughed hearing the story from Raisa's lips. Raisa sighed dislikefully with Asura's laughter as if mocking her.

“Maaf” says Asura.

Raisa flicked her shoulders by saying, “I’ts ok”.

“You will see them back. Moreover, later you will meet the figure of a snake-haired woman either in a dark valley or in a cave. You will also meet the cannibals back on our journey later” explained Asura.

“You must prepare mentally. Although martial arts and all the knowledge given by Basudeva, Rigby, even the high priest if you do not dare to face it will be useless because you avoid them” said Asura seriously.

Raisa nodded her head after hearing what Asura said. “True says Asura. If I don't dare face them though the knowledge all given by Rigby, Basudeva, and the high priest will be in vain. Especially my years of training. I have to be mentally prepared to face them”.

...

The next day had arrived, the chirping of birds with a loud voice that was mutual and the sound of crickets was also heard. The sound that Raisa hears is not as bad as the sound that is heard at night. Raisa stretched her muscles and so did Damon.

“Uahhh, it felt like last night I slept soundly” Damon said.

Damon moved from his place and approached Raisa.

“Morning Raisa” greet Damon.

“Morning” says Raisa while cleaning her dirty pants.

“Did you sleep well last night?”

“Ya, of course” lied Raisa.

Asura saw Damon chatting, Asura approached them, followed by Pinky.

“Morning guys” says Pinky.

“Morning” says Raisa.

“Did you sleep well last night?” ask Pinky.

“Sure” lied Raisa instantly replied.

“Yuk, we have breakfast before continuing our journey to the city and looking for spirit” with Raisa.

“Alright, I will help you take food and pour drinks” Pinky said.

Raisa opened up last night and distributed it to them. Some time later they began to travel exploring on horseback.Asura led the journey to be passed and beside him Raisa. While Damon and Pinky are at the back escorting Raisa's journey.
