ADJOINING REALM
SASTRO AND MAUNG

The atmosphere inside the hut was truly boisterous, the gurgling sounds of steps from each hole were heard growing and hardening with each second. Hearing this, Sastro immediately made a semicircular dome, then observed what would come from all the holes around them.

Not long after the sound began to be heard, dozens of pairs of antennae began to pop out from each hole. They all had time to observe the two comers from inside the hole, and they immediately ran over after finding the position of Sastro and Wajana who were still silent in the middle of the room.

In just a few seconds the spacious room that Sastro and Maung were occupying became a room that was entirely black-floored. Thousands of centipedes approached so quickly, as if they were looking at a prey they had been waiting for so long.

"Sastro... Hold as much as you can. If they're all out, let me eat them" Maung said as he approached Sastro.

"Okay..," Sastro answered briefly and then re-coated his energy dome to become a layered dome and seemed strong enough to withstand every attack of his enemy.

The thousands of centipedes were completely unable to reach Sastro and Maung who were standing next to each other, as if they were held back by a wall, which limited their steps when they almost reached two enemies.

While in place of Darto and three friends, they managed to land perfectly on a branch.

They had time to observe the shape of the tree they were walking on, then gathered together and tried to go down on the ground.

"It's not a tree, Kang," said Jaka as he looked at the spot where he had landed earlier.

"Yes, Jak... Maybe this is just a bush with an unreasonable size," said Komang.

The place where Darto and his three friends went down was not an ordinary place, they seemed to descend under a thicket, which had the same size as the kapok tree they had seen in room number six.

The lush foliage of the plant completely covered every light, when Darto and his three friends reached the ground, they were literally moving from noon to dawn.

Everything seemed dim, the atmosphere emblazoned was very similar to the situation where Maghrib time in the ordinary world.

The sunlight was completely dispelled almost completely, yet the four men could still see even with their naked eyes.

"This may be the way to our enemy's nest" said Darto after finding a gaping hole not far from where he stood.

"There is also here, Dar," said Wajana while pointing in a different direction.

"Here too" Komang also found another hole.

"It's not just three, Kang... This place is filled with holes," said Jaka from above, he moved to one of the branches to observe the situation around them.

From where Jaka stood, as far as the eye could see there were hundreds of large holes gaping on the ground. The hole is really visible inside, because they can't see the end at all when looking at it from above alone.

Darto tried to confirm something after hearing Jaka's words, he created a chandrabha arrow, then removed one arrow towards the hole in front of him.

Darto's arrow really shot down at an insane speed, and a second later there was a bang and also a shout from inside the hole.

A rumbling sound was suddenly created, the ground that was in the middle of Darto, Jaka, Komang and Wajana incandescent completely shook, after one scream echoed from inside the hole.

"Jump up the tree!" shouted Darto while moving. He appeared right beside Jaka who was still standing on a bush twig.

Wajana and Komang also followed Darto's movements, moving beside Darto and observing what would come out of the gaping hole under their feet.

Not long after, hundreds of Centipedes of extraordinary size filled the entire floor under their feet. Darto and Jaka even round their eyes, when they see the size of the opponent they will fight under him.

"Two times... No.. It's three times bigger than the centipede I used to fight," said Darto as he gulped.

The swarm of centipedes that were writhing on the ground was really very large, their bodies were even mossy, indicating how old the creatures that the four men were fighting were.

Seeing so many enemies under them, Darto immediately proposed to split up, and look for one body that became the leader of thousands of centipedes.

Jaka, Wajana and Komang immediately nodded. They spread out in four different directions, by jumping from twigs to bush twigs that fill the entire space.

Not long after they separated, a great explosion was heard from the ears of Darto, Jaka and Wajana.

The three men were actually running at a crazy speed. They continued to move to a branch far enough away, with just one leg stomp.

When they reached the place where the sound of the explosion came from, Darto, Jaka and Wajana watched Komang doing a movement like when fighting the termite queen.

The Komang spread orange-colored energy over the ground, and made itself fuse with every energy that had enveloped the ground around its body.

Just above the energy of Komang, there is one centipede that is twice the size of the other giant centipede.

Komang is really against the creature itself, although his attack has not been able to land a deep wound on his opponent.

Darto, Jaka and Wajana immediately joined the battlefield when they saw the target. They simultaneously launched an attack, on one of the largest creatures in front of his eyes.

While in the place where Sastro and Maung are, there has not been any resistance that they both did.

Sastro was seen starting to sit while closing his eyes, he had to focus on maintaining the dome shape that was protecting them both so as not to break because of the lunge from their many opponents.

The incursion from the centipede coming out from inside the hole really did not stop. They almost perfectly buried Maung and Sastro inside the crowd pile, as their numbers really could not be calculated with logic.

One room so large has now become very narrow, because Sastro and Maung only have room to move inside the dome that Sastro created.

The situation outside the dome really can not be used anymore, because hundreds of thousands of centipedes have piled up to meet each side of the room.

Seeing that his enemy had so much, Maung again turned his body into a ball of energy, he told Sastro before attacking so that Sastro counted to the count of ten.

At that time Sastro and Maung counted each other in a loud voice. They together counted down from the number ten, then made a simultaneous move against the hundreds of thousands of enemies that were before them both.

Just when the count to one was spoken, Sastro instantly dissipated his energy. He took off all protection and entrusted the attack to his best friend.

While Maung immediately exploded after the count to one. The room that was originally filled with centipedes, turned into a room filled with black fog.

Sastro accidentally removes his energy, because his energy can block the impact of the explosion that Maung launched.

If not eliminated, maybe not thousands of centipedes were hit by Maung attacks, but himself who was still in his own dome.

After Maung exploded, Sastro really felt like he was standing in a dark room. Space without sound or light, there was only black as far as his eyes could see.

He saw neither Maung nor the thousands of centipedes that were originally aimed at them, of which there was only one pair of red round eyes, approaching at a very crazy speed towards him.

Sastro who felt alert immediately re-created the dome, and protected himself from creatures that were approaching him.

Just when Sastro managed to make the dome come back, that pair of eyes also arrived in front of his face. He grinned at the fang line as he said, "You're afraid of Sastro?"

"Bad! ha ha ha ha!" Sastro was stunned after finding the pair of eyes turned out to be Maung who was using the form of a tiger.

"Welcome to my world, Sas. Now you sit just sweet, here there is no creature that can escape from my grasp, other than two humans who are our partners," said Maung still with a terrible smile on his face.

"It's been... Don't smile like that, your face is terrible, Maung. ha ha ha ha!" Sastro returned, then sat down as Maung had asked and let Maung finish his task.

After Maung left, from within the darkness there were hundreds of screams every second, Maung really did not take off any of his opponents, who were now locked up in his energy.

Not long after, Maung's dark room began to gather towards the same point. They propagated like a puff of smoke, and turned back into a football-sized black ball in front of his friend's face.

Just when Maung's black sphere had returned to its human form, the thousands of centipedes that had originally filled the entire room, were completely exhausted with nothing left.

Sastro and Maung could really cope with such a large amount with just the two of them, they managed to get rid of the troublesome centipede, then descend to the place where the four friends were.

Seriate....
