The Cursed One : The Darkside of The World

Jin's Sacrifice

Jin grabs those two last children and running again as fast as possible before the old woman seeing him. The cave itself is big enough for an adult to moves inside without difficulty although it is very dark. Jin is grateful for the ability that he got after Queen Aghs'tya left his body many years ago, if only he doesn't have the ability to see in the dark, he won't be able to save these children.

The old woman, who has awake, is coming out of the other room in the cave and stand on Jin's escape path. She screamed when seeing Jin with a terrifying voice that can be heard from outside the cave and shocked Baok Sa and his men.

"What the hell was that voice?!" Baok Sa was surprised, he doesn't think if it was Jin's voice. He is certain if someone or something else is inside the cave and it is pissed off right now.

The old woman surprises and is furious when seeing Jin is making a mess inside her place and taking away her prey, she intends to attack Jin. Jin knows if he must hurriedly get out of the cave before the old woman attacks him with something powerful that may collapse the cave, the only way is by launching a surprise attack first and sneak away from the cave when the old woman's vision is blocked.

Both of Jin's hands are carrying the two children, he is only able to attack the old woman using his feet. This time, he wants to use The Blue Dragon Wave, the other ultimate technique that Hyung Jae taught him once upon a time two years ago. As a genius, he can remember every technique by only seeing it one time and he practiced it on the monitor of Baek Ma, his teacher. Jin is lucky because Baek Ma was not someone who fetish with his own techniques, he allowed Jin to learn any other martial art as long as Jin can control it with his cursed body.

Jin gather a small enough amount of his energy on one of his feet and channeled it to the ground. The energy travels through the ground towards the old woman. If Jin's attack can be seen, it is like a creature that is moving at a high sped inside the ground towards the target.

"Booooom!" A small explosion has appeared from the ground below the old woman's feet when Jin's Blue Dragon Wave's attack is hitting her. The explosions make all dirt splashed to the old woman's face and eyes.

"Roarrrr!" The old woman has roared again angrily because she couldn't see temporarily after being hit by Jin's surprise attack.

Jin using this moment to sneak as fast as possible beside the old woman who still trying to clean her face and eyes from the dirt. He runs towards the cave's entrance with two children in his possession. But, Jin is unlucky this time, the old woman can sense his movement although her eyes are still unable to see. She launched a very powerful purple ball of energy from her mouth towards the cave's entrance.

"Dddrrrtttt!!!" The ground is shaking when the powerful purple ball of energy traveled inside the cave at a very high speed.

"Hah?!" Jin is shocked by the old woman's powerful attack. He knows if he won't have the time to escape from the cave before the attack hits him. Amidst the very short time, Jin decides to throw the two children outside the cave before the cave is collapsed because of the explosion from the old woman's powerful attack. "Baok Sa!!! Catch them!!!" Jin shouted after he throws the children.

Baok Sa who heard Jin's shouted at him, becomes confused because he doesn't know what Jin was talking about. Just in a fracture of seconds later, he suddenly sees two children's bodies flying very fast out of the cave entrance. Baok Sa, with his martial arts skills, instantly reacts to catch both bodies before those bodies hit the trees and fall downhill.

"Kaaabooooommmm!!!" A huge explosion that is followed by a tremor happens inside the cave after Jin's body being hit by the purple energy attack from the old woman. The strong collision makes the cave collapses. The cave's mouth is also fully blocked by the rock and dirt. Jin and the old woman are buried alive inside the cave.

"What the hell is going on inside the cave?!" Again, Baok Sa asked a question that none of his men can answer. He is very curious about Jin's last action to sacrifice himself to save the children. He is now having a very strong doubt if Jin was the perpetrator of the slaughterer and the kidnapper.

After waiting for a while outside the collapsed cave, Jung Bo, one of Baok Sa's vice, asks to his commander, "Commander, what we should do now? Please give your instruction."

Baok Sa thoughts if no one will be able to survive from the collapsed cave like that. He somehow feels pity for Jin who is buried alive inside the cave. His intuition said if Jin was not guilty although he can not prove it before he knows what was happened inside the cave. "Let's wait for another moment, if nothing happened we leave this place for now, but keep some guards in here. By tomorrow, I want you to send several guards and laborers to dig this cave. I want to get that young man's body and also I want to know anything left inside the cave." Baok Sa instructed.

"Yes, Sir. At your command." Jung Bo arranged their troops according to Baok Sa's order, he starts to pick several guards to stay in front of the cave for tonight.

"Let's go back to the city!" Baok Sa instructed his men after waiting for a while and nothing has happened, no one screamed for help either.

"Dddrrrrtttttt!!!" The ground is trembling just a moment after Baok Sa instructed his men to go back to the city.

"Kaaabooooommmm!!!" A huge explosion that makes the rock and dirt scattered all over the place happens within a few dozen steps beside the cave entrance. Everyone is shocked and turns their heads on the explosion site.

A silhouette of a man is thrown out of the cave by a huge force, that silhouette is rolling in the mid-air several times and manages to land on the ground with his two feet. "Sraaaakkk!!!" His feet are dragged all the way back on the ground before stopping. That is the silhouette of Jin, he managed to survive from the collapsed cave entrance and fought the old woman in the dark of the cave. The latest energy attack from the old woman has destroyed the side hill and creates a way out from the cave. Both of them have the ability to see in the dark, this fact makes Jin more sure if the old woman is somehow related to Rot'un Jere, the monster that was the arch-enemy of Queen Aghs'tya, someone who left her power inside Jin's body.

Baok Sa and his men rush towards Jin's location, within a few seconds Jin has been surrounded by the guards. "Surrender yourself! Don't fight or we have to use the hard way." He said with his heavy voice. His thick and smooth black beard makes him seem to be more charismatic.

"Hey! This is not the time for that thing. The real enemy is not me, you fool!" Jin thoughts if his name has been cleared after he save those children. He is a little bit disappointed by the guards' act that cannot see the truth although it was clearly visible in front of their eyes. "Don't force me beyond my patience." He started to get irritated.

Amidst the heated tension, all of sudden, a bright purple light is shine from above all of them, it's the old lady who gathered a big and bright purple sphere of energy on top of his head using one of his hands. Her body has been covered entirely by armored skin, a tail appears on her back and her body getting slimmer and taller which is much suitable for maneuver during the battle. Her head is no more like a human head, it becomes thinner but covered with armored skin. She has fully transformed herself into a similar creature from the land of Sura that is like a fully armored soldier with a helmet. The land of Sura is the place in the other dimension where Rot'un Jere and Queen Aghs'tya comes from several years ago.
