The feeling is starting to be unbearable. But she still tries her best to finish the meal without leaving anything, just to show her respect for the food they served for her. And then…
“Excuse me! I’d like to get back home first.”
“Okay, I’ll escort you home,” says Arifin as he gets up from the chair.
“No, you don’t have to,” she denies.
“But I have to. I just don’t want you to kill anyone on your way back home.”
“Maan?!” Andini whines with a tired face.
They both leave. Cindy glances a bit at Minda secretly, and finds her looking at the two with a gloomy face.
Cindy thinks that Minda is looking gloomy because of her jealousy to see those two being together. So little she knows, Minda is actually feeling sym
The next day, Arifin comes visiting Andini again. However, that girl denies his visit because of that sudden kiss she received last night.Arifin quite considerate, and understands the reason. So he doesn’t push his way and gives her some space.“Don’t worry too much. She looks fine today. Maybe she's just not in a good mood,” says Elma as she escorts Arifin out of the house.“Please, Aunty! Just inform me later if anything serious happens. I’ll stay in the complex doing my training.”Elma nods with her peaceful smile. And Arifin just starts his training right from that house, running around the housing complex to complete his daily training regime.He still wants to try the same thing as before, hunting blood and soul crystal in the night with a higher difficulty.Every time he passes that corner, Andini always observes him intently in secret from behind the curtain. She starts thinking, how great it is if she can join him with that jogging activity.At some point, she feels a bit of
In the next split second, that evil spirit flies so fast toward him, making Jack aghast with an open mouth.“Why don’t I make better use of your hatred, human?!”She gets into his mouth, and starts possessing him. Jack starts behaving like a mad man, moving rigidly in an erratic pattern. His limb looks stilted like a string puppet.He picks one broken metal pole, and moves with a weird motion toward Arifin. His left hand that holds the metal pole suddenly makes a move.The movement is so fast, much faster than how he normally could do. He slams the metal pole to one concrete stake, and destroys it.Slowly, his face expression changes with a mad grinning. In the next two second, he is already in range to hit Arifin with his metal pole.It shocks Arifin, but he is still able to react. The metal pole just slams the ground, creating a huge collision and sends the dirt and debris around. Just from that impact alone, Arifin knows how powerful that slam is.“What’s wrong with this guy?” he m
Of course, that evil spirit doesn’t care what would happen to Jack’s body either. It’s not her body, and it seems like she despised humans more than anything.Sadly, the next time Jack tries to slam that metal pole with the only one hand he has, Arifin severs that hand too.“What now?” Arifin smirks by sending an intimidating aura.Jack immediately gets away. That evil spirit thinks that she is still moving faster with Jack’s body. But in less than five seconds after she tries to get Jack’s body away, Arifin already catches up to him, and slams Jack’s temple using his knuckle.That’s the first time Arifin uses his full speed under that condition with the doping effect of consuming two blood crystals, following it with a hit using his full strength. He burns quite a lot of calories for that one move, and notices that his stamina has dropped to 64 %.“Why are you running? Are you no longer interested in my corrupted soul?”He pins him down with one leg, and then takes out his mystical k
Around 1 am, when the effect of that second blood crystal has ended, only then Arifin gets up and collects all the essence crystal. Just at a glance, he finds so many holograms pointing to the dropped crystals on the ground.There are so many of them that he doesn’t care to count anymore. This is the first time he gets this many, no less than 30 combine.He gets back with the bike, looking so tired with his physical condition at 46 %. But he is so satisfied with what he got.But then, when he reaches the gate of the housing complex, he notices something odd. The gate is slightly open, and with no guards.“How come they abandon their post?” he mumbles as he leaves the bike in front of the gate.He intends to push the sliding gate by himself a bit wider, so he can get the bike in. But as he gets inside, there he finds the two guards are laying on the ground near their post.He rushes to check on their condition. But they both look like they are just sleeping. However, even after he trie
On the other hand, Andini is currently sitting on the back of a military truck owned by the mercenary that Dr. Cohen hired. Her face looks so blank like someone has been hypnotized.She keeps getting some soothing whispering, telling her that she is going to be okay as long as she is back to her master. In fact, Dr. Cohen himself is no longer trying to communicate with her. All those words are just the suggestion that he had planted in Andini’s subconscious.“We almost lost her,” whines Dr. Cohen with a pale face before relieving a sigh.“You were too impatient to send her there, while your condition had not fully recovered,” replies Naomi, helping Dr. Cohen to get back to his bed.That man looks so tired after trying his best to completely control Andini’s body.“That’s not what I’m saying. The girl was trying to commit suicide by jumping into a dry river. I thought I had managed to influence her to leave that place. That’s why I believed she was already under my control. But she sud
Normally, this will make Arifin confused as to how easy it is for him to break the monster’s exoskeleton. But he is not in a condition to think about that stuff. He is in rage, and only cares to vent out his anger.The only thing that comes to his mind is how satisfied it is that he butchered that one monster’s neck. Even knowing that one strike is already enough to kill the monster, he still butchers the monster’s body to pieces before it falls by itself.He doesn’t even realize the faint white aura around him. The aura only makes his vision a bit different as if the air around him is wavering like rippling water, albeit not too contrast.“I had enough with this. If you really want to die so badly, come here and be my guess,” he taunts the other Dilophocaballus monsters to come.Those six monsters are a bit intimidated. The more after they notice the dawn coming. Not wanting to take any risk, they just follow their instinct and flee toward the dense forest.It makes Arifin so disappo
That morning, Arifin asks Yusuf for Andini’s photo. Thankfully, Yusuf is still keeping one photo of Andini, the one that he used to look for her when she was missing after the tsunami.He goes back to Mr. Natsir’s hut and gives the photo. Mr. Natsir simply shows the photo to the two spirit creatures that hide under his robe, and then gives it back to Arifin.“Is that it? Won’t they forget her face later?” Arifin doubts. “Don’t they need to also show this photo when they ask their friends later.”“Kid, there are so many things you don’t know about these creatures. These two with me might be a bit naive like kids. But they don’t easily forget people. And the way they communicate with each other is different from us. Anyway, why don’t I show you something.”Mr. Natsir then whispers something under his robe. A moment later, he comes closer to Arifin, and then one spirit creature approaches Arifin’s head.Arifin can see it coming, but only in the shape of a small orb. He feels a bit eerie
It won’t be a problem, he said. Arifin knows he can deal with the rest of those mercenaries. But a fight with them is something he wants to avoid. Because he has his own agenda.He walks nonchalantly approaching those people who are still in hectic helping their comrades. As they notice Arifin, they immediately surround him by pointing their submachine guns.“Who are you?”“What business do you have here??”“Stupid! He is one of the awakened people! He has killed quite many of us. Don’t let your guard down. He can kill you at any moment.”“Hey, hey! I’m not here to start a fight,” Arifin interferes. “Where’s your boss? I came voluntarily ‘cause I think you want to recruit someone like me.”And then, Arifin sees the man named Parjo, the
