The Other Side Is Getting Stronger

Nija stroked his nape and still kept thinking about Madhu's words. He was right if he had used Theria's powers, maybe we could have beaten him up, but JoydaG was also right, although we could get here sooner, it doesn't mean that we will manage to defeat him. The choice of confronting him on the surface is likely to be the most appropriate opportunity to send him back underground without the need for a long-term clash. Let's just hope that the devil will come alone.

"It seems that the other side is getting stronger. They have become more often able to pass the guards from the first layer to the sixth layer," Nija murmured loudly. "Is it possible that there is anything to do with Bibi's case?"

"Maybe. All this is still unclear, but the probability is close to 100 percent," Madhu said. He showed no doubts. His words were also embellished with deep grudge emotions. After all, he had guarded Hole from the first layer all the way to the seventh layer so that he knew very well the changes that were happening on the battlefield. If there's an outsider that makes hole easier to show up it's because the underground gentlemen are responding to something from outside their world. What if the person who fished them was Bibi?

"Bibi, what's kind of person she is?" Nija asked.

Nija was the only one who never greeted Bibi directly among them.

"I only heard stories about her, it is said that she is one of the strongest. Even the elders recognized her strength and once got an offer to occupy the position of a bigwig, but she was never willing to occupy that important position, she always preferred fieldwork, and you were once guided by her directly," said Nija and waited for a reaction from JoydaG.

"A very strong woman. In short, from my perspective, it is impossible for her to die so easily. She killed so many underworld creatures. She also killed humans on the surface who were trying to open the gates for underworld creatures. I can't believe she was treasonous or betrayed among us," JoydaG said. Her tone was like a witness defending the defendant in court.

Nija drove the car faster because the road was quiet. They didn't talk anymore until they got to the location. JoydaG's testimony seemed to leave her two colleagues uninterested in discussing more Bibi. Because they all know it's better to face facts than to speculate.

"Signs of the creature coming out are already visible here. It's good, they can survive so far,"

JoydaG's words sounded not comforting at all.

Their comrades in the seventh layer must have staggered and somehow with those in the first tier, just fainted or were already dead.

JoydaG moved first to approach the building which has the nickname Lawang Sewu because it has 1000 doors. The building often shows strange phenomena for ordinary people. The phenomenon is often talked about. So many bloggers write about it in blogs, social media, and television broadcasts. People who need entertainment from other worlds often come there to test their guts. There are also those who come up with the motive of recording demons in order to get money from their social media channels.

Today, JoydaG stands in the middle between the buildings that look like U word from the sky. She stared at one of the doors revealing red sparks. Without waiting for Madhu and Nija, she ran there.

Nija sighed, once again, he felt joydaG never considered him and Madhu as part of the team.

"Someone who is used to working alone will always be like that," Madhu said.

Nija glanced at Madhu when he heard him say so. Their steps were quick, they climbed two stairs at once in order to catch up with JoydaG.

"I thought you hated it," Nija teased Madhu.

"I don't hate it."

"Then you admire it."

"Not really."

Nija smiled secretly, he was amused by his friend's somewhat opposite answer and expression. Madhu often argues with JoydaG and is even seen opposing it all the time but it seems that he did it to get JoydaG's attention.

When they reached the point of Hole's appearance, they saw joydaG had prepared herself to face whatever form of the creature emerged from there. Her posture with a height of 175 cm and muscular looks fierce in front of a Hole that is starting to grow.

Madhu glanced at JoydaG for a while but then prepared beside JoydaG seriously. Similar to Nija, he didn't need to glance at JoydaG because there was no special interest in her, so he immediately concentrated on Hole.

Nija took a position somewhat ahead of JoydaG like the strategy they had already talked about. Nija is good at making shock attacks at close range so their plan is to make the enemy unable to take a step forward from Hole.

The plan did not go smoothly because after all the creature also had its own plan. That monster threw someone's body from inside the Hole. Nija was forced to stop his attack abruptly and fell because he caught the person who was thrown from inside the Hole.

JoydaG and Madhu who were surprised to see their companions forcibly thrown from inside the Hole improvised. They captured the other bodies that came out of the Hole.

Fuck him distraction! Madhu continued to swear inwardly while capturing the bodies of his comrades. There were eight people in total who knew the creature had already pitched out of the Hole. JoydaG moved quickly, darting to the front of the creature and stopping its steps with his knife that nearly pierced the temple, but failed and he got a fist attack on his abdomen.

JoydaG's failure was paid for by Madhu by throwing his gun. The thing managed to stab in the arm. The monster grinned and pulled it out without pain. He mocked Madhu with his gaze. Madhu, who is already experienced in the field, still finds it difficult to control his emotions if he is ridiculed. He then attacked with a minimal strategy.

He didn't feel anything from Madhu's weapon, it meant that this creature was on a different level.

Is he one of the demon nobles? Nija analyzed the enemy from his place.

The monster has formed like an ordinary human being. The thing that distinguishes him from the average human being is his pointed and stiff ears like bent iron. No time to check the condition of his friends, he had to stop the creature from walking out of the Lawang Sewu building.

Nija had eye contact with JoydaG, they finally decided to go three-on-one. They attacked together and were defeated at the same time. The creature is stronger than the three.

JoydaG's attempt to return it to the Hole before it was sealed failed. Their desperate attacks are meaningless to creatures that don't even blink when their weapons attack them.

"The smell of sulfur is very strong. Could it be that he is a pure creature? In that case, it should probably wear that one," JoydaG's conflicted in the inner being.

JoydaG pulled out another weapon he inserted attached to her ankle, hidden behind her boot.

Nija saw JoydaG take the thing out and was surprised not to play.

Ancient dagger? Where did she get it?

JoydaG took the right distance to stab the creature that was now facing Madhu who was already covered in blood on the face. The creature even tried to suck Madhu's blood.

Meanwhile, Nija, who sees JoydaG's weapon, knows maybe that's the only chance they have of winning, finish it off here rather than returning it to the underworld. Nija helps JoydaG by baiting the creature in the right position so JoydaG can slit his throat using the ancient dagger.

The opportunity was hard-won. They were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief when JoydaG managed to slice the demon's neck. The ferocious creature was also shocked when its neck was sliced before finally burning to ashes.
