At least, he has learned from his grandpa about the way of sword without sword. He still does not fully understand that philosophy yet. He gets an idea what to do by utilizing his current condition under the Trance State.
“I hope it will work,” he mumbles as he conditions his hand like a knife-hand, something that is familiar to people as karate chop (shutō-uchi).
It’s not just the hand. He also conditions his arm from elbow below straight, and intends to use it like a sword.
He doesn’t approach Javier directly. Instead, he utilizes his acceleration and agility to move side to side, by keeping the condition of his ri

No one dares to get closer to Arifin, despite there’s only one guard armed with automatic rifles guarding him there. The problem is, there are so many other guards on the top of the wall around that area. All of them can just act according to the situation if anyone is trying to do something to Arifin.However, after a few hours being tied there, that girl named Elsie approaches Arifin by bringing a bottle of water. That one guard looks so alert and halts her. But Elsie insists by only showing her cold gaze, still by holding the bottle in front of her chest.“Come on! It’s just water,” says Billy from a distance, standing confidently by crossing his arms in front of his chest as he keeps watching over her daughter. “That kid saved her life before. Let her pay the debt.”That guard knows that Billy is the top candidate in the leaderboard solely based on physical prowess. And he knows that Dr. Cohen has treated him specially well so far.He then takes a look at Elsie a moment, and belie

Especially Yusuf, Andini’s father who has just come back from his own search with Henry.But…“He still hasn't come home since yesterday. Maybe he's still trying to find your daughter out there,” says Acil flatly.That response makes Yusuf feel a little awry, thinking that he has put all the burden of his missing daughter to Arifin.That middle-aged man then walks away so lifelessly, with shoulders drop under the weight of burden as a father.

She turns around, trying to observe the situation inside that concentration camp. She focuses on doing what she needs to do. But then she starts worrying, how is she supposed to get back into her own body.“Not to mention this body is already in so much fatigue. It’s hard to just stay awake,” she whines.“I’ve told you! Just take a rest. You’ve been here since last night,” says the other guard.Minda is a bit confused. She makes the one guard that she controls look so stupid with his blank face.“Ah, okay! I’ll leave now,” she replies by nodding her head a few times.She takes the staircase to get down. But then she suddenly notices Arifin being tied up in the middle of the outfield gym.“Oh, no! Arifin?!”Without thinking much, she just rushes to him. But soon before she gets closer to Arifin, one guard startles her.“What are you doing here?”“Uh, I, um… I just want to take a look at this one hostage.”“Stupid. Didn’t you follow what was happening here? He is not a hostage. He is on

They don’t act like mindless creatures, and can even launch an attack from 4 meter away with their elongated arms. With the way they move, it’s hard for these guards to simply aim their heads.“What's with these creatures? Where did they come from?”“Hey, Fabio! Why do you stop shoot…”Just a little mistake, that man is caught off guard and his chest is stabbed by the dedemit’s elongated arm with sharp claws. The demon pulls his arm by holding the man’s heart, and that one critical hit is enough to kill that C rank awakened soldier on the spot.Elsewhere, the guards guarding the high concrete wall have been launching all their bullets nonstop. And not many have been killed, while those dedemits are now piling under the wall trying to climb it.“Shiit, I’m out of ammo,” grumbles one of the guards. “Hey! We need someone to bring us more magazines. We can’t let these creatures climb this wall.”During that chaotic moment, Arifin is still taking his time to sneak around. He finds Watt and

While the other guards are busy with their own issue in the other part of this concentration camp.Billy and Watt have also come back by bringing some weapons and sharing them with the others. Tony notices them, and immediately asks Ronald to break the wall for more to create a wider path to get out.“Hey, over here!” Tony calls.Watt moves the others to leave that area. But they notice the incoming dedemits, which makes those people doubting the option of getting out through that spot.“It’s okay! I can open the path for you guys! As soon as we get away from this, these dedemits won’t be an issue for us,” explains Tony trying to convince them.“Billy, take your daughter and the others out. That boy is also an awakened warrior like Arifin. He can help you guys out of this place.”“Wha

That man with horns, with the biggest bodybuilder in the team, runs straight at Arifin by putting his forehead at the forefront. Despite how big his body is, he is quite fast with his run.But Arifin knows this man will find it hard in maneuvering considering his size and the momentum he generates with that speed. Instead of blocking him with the barrier, he plans to play with him like a matador.He waits until the man gets close, and then easily moves sideways to evade him.“How come you suddenly become stupid after transforming into your beast form? Did it also transform your brain too?”But Arifin is suddenly startled by an attack from Marcus who is already so close from the rear throwing his sharp claws. There’s no way he can block that with the kris.All he can do is to protect his back with the barrier. But he doesn’t have enough time to create a concrete one, and those claws still manage to reach his back.He immediately turns around while waving his dagger. Yet that leopard ma

Meanwhile, in Westerpark. It’s a place that used to be a famous picturesque working-class neighborhood in Amsterdam. But it has been wrecked havoc by the alien monsters, and not so many people are still alive there right now. But there is still one beautiful mansion standing tall on one hill, with high concrete walls protecting that 2 hectares area. In fact, there’s only one family living in this area consisting of only four people. There is one underground lab right below that mansion. And there is one man in his white coat looking so desperate in front of his personal research book. “No, this is not what I want,” he cries slowly, grabbing his yellow hair in desperation. He leaves his desk, approaching one monitor which displays the work of his supercomputer in doing some kind of simulation. Not too far from that monitor, there is a unique wavy dagger with an asymmetrical shape being displayed in a glass case. That scientist only comes to observe the DNA splicing simulation being

Arifin also takes a glance at the other one who hasn’t done anything so far, which is Luis the lizard man. That man has grown his tail quite long, and no longer wears any pants at the moment. But his face is so pale, feeling intimidated by just Arifin’s gaze. Even right now, that man isn’t noticing that the bottom part of his body has turned into its beast form. He just turns by instinct, due to the danger he feels after watching how easily Arifin bullied Zaw Min. “So, you are going to turn into a cold-blooded reptile now?” asks Arifin as he prepares to handle that man, who used to be a hitman for the mafia. “But, what’s with that pitiful face?” “Ah?” Luis is shaken from his reverie, and only realizes that all the bottom part of his body has turned into the lizard legs and one big and long tail at his butt. “Well, I haven't had any big expectations from you since the beginning,” continues Arifin as he keeps walking intending to take his leave. At first, he did have an intention t

Those three are just the exact three men who betrayed Arifin in his previous life, especially Zaw Min and Jaidee. Just seeing their faces is already enough to provoke Arifin’s madness which helps him enter his Trance State.“Hey, Zaw Min!” calls Luis as he slowly turns his two hands into the shape of a lizard. “They said we only need to hold him down for an hour. We can’t kill him because the Colonel wants him so bad. Isn’t this an insult?”“Not really! I also want him to join us. You just don’t know what this man is capable of,” replies Zaw Min, who is currently looking so excited to see Arifin for the second time.“Cih! We can’t kill him, huh!” grumbles Jaidee with his annoyed face. “Then, let me handle him myself. It won’t be good if you accidentally kill him with your sabers.”“Stop bickering, you weak ass! Come anytime you want!” Arifin interferes by showing his mad face.Those words effectively make Jaidee so furious. He immediately demonstrates his skills in unarmed combat as a

He can’t simply tell that to Colonel Fermin. Because he doesn’t want to be seen as ridiculous any further.But then when he goes outside, he finds a few soldiers are lying on the ground. The situation becomes hectic as there are a few evil spirits infiltrating this medical area.Thankfully, those three shamans, even though they are not combatant-type of awakened people, they know some ways to repel those evil spirits. After all, they are not too many, since the corrupted aura that Arifin releases is somewhat weaker than usual.For the next two days, few dedemits and evil spirits keep coming during the night. Only in the next morning, Arifin is back to his consciousness.“Oh, you are awake?” One nurse approaches him and checks his condition.“Where am I?” asks Arifin as he tries to get up.But the nurse forces him to stay on the bed. “You've been unconscious for more than two days. You should just rest until you are completely recovered.”“Two days?” mumbles Arifin.He then checks his

Mike looks up, and sees Dr. Cohen hovering in the air in his beast form. And the one who just hurt Mike’s chest, Marcus, is currently perching on a branch.“That accent? An American?” asks Mike.“Yes, I’m an American,” replies Dr. Cohen nonchalantly.“Which means you are the people from the Defiance Atlantis,” Mike continues.“Hohohoo! You guess right for the second time. And guess what, our organization highly values beast-type awakened warriors like you. Why don't you join…”Mike doesn’t even let him finish his words. He jumps so quickly after running on the tree trunk, and catches Dr. Cohen off guard.“So fast,” mumbles Dr. Cohen as he holds Mike’s right hand who has stabbed his chest right on his heart.Mike makes a turn and throws Dr. Cohen to the ground. As he lands, three of Dr. Cohen’s men immediately cover their boss.“Javier, we have to buy time to let Dr. Cohen recuperate,” issues Roberto.Both Javier and Marcus intend to attack, but Mike just stands there by releasing a su

Right now, all the dedemits and evil spirits begin to look mad like before. However, they no longer hunt Arifin, but only the people who have been marked as the target.Some flesh tendrils also crawl to the building, and then pull so many female employees from the second floor, including Naomi.“Dr. Cohen, help me!”Roberto frees her and the other female employees by cutting all of those tendrils. But all of them who have been bitten, are now in the similar situation as Arifin. Their wounds are leaking the corrupted aura, which makes all those demonic creatures so eager to kill them.“Dr. Cohen! What should we do now?” asks Javier half-shouting. “We can’t stay here forever.”It’s not that hard for Javier to deal with the dedemits. But the evil spirit, he can’t even touch them until now.

The kid then turns silent, waiting for Arifin to reply to his offer. He even draws his ear closer, as if provoking Arifin to plead.Arifin knows that the Grace she loves has already died in the future. And she admits that he hasn’t been that close with this current Grace either.They are still like strangers so far, and he never thought of getting close together with her like in his previous life. Because he doesn’t want to put her in a life full of danger.But he can’t just ignore her after knowing she is still alive. More than Andini, right now saving Grace is much more important to him. At least, to pay back what Grace did for him in his previous life.“Please,” he mumbles with a low voice.“What? I can’t hear you,” says the kid with a kind of childish manner.“Please, help me!”The kid chuckles again with an amused face. “Sadly, I’m just an illusion. There’s no way I can harm them.
