The Cursed One : The Darkside of The World

Desperation

"Cocky bastard! I'll show you my full power!" The old lady shouted angrily. "Graaaaaaaaa!" She continue with a loud scream as the sign she released all her inner energy. A strong wind spreads in all directions because of the strong heat and pressure around the old lady's armored body. Her purple aura is getting bigger and brighter as if she is engulfed by purple fire.

"This is insane, how strong she can be? Even it's difficult to breathe within this distance. She is very dangerous, with this kind of power, she can challenge a big sect alone." Again, Baok Sa was amazed and terrified by the old woman's powerful energy. He is getting difficult to standing still and almost being pushed only by the wind pressure from the old woman's energy.

Different from Baok Sa, Jin still maintains his calmness even after witnessing the enormous amount of energy from his enemy. "Are you done yet?!" Jin asked the old lady.

"You! You bastard! I will pull out your cocky mouth." The old woman's getting more and more rage because of Jin's cocky words who belittled her. "Graaaaaaaa!!!" She screamed again and blitzed to attack Jin with magnificent speed, even Baok Sa having a hard time seeing it. Jin receives her attack calmly, he can saw every movement of her's.

"Claankkk!!!" Loud clanging sounds are heard each time Jin's and the old lady's armored skins collided. The clanging sound was so loud and followed by enormous pressure that makes Baok Sa's ears hurt, he has to cover his ears to reduce the pain in his ears.

"This is an extraordinary battle of the powerful deities. Although it is very dangerous, I have to stay in here and watch till the end." Baok Sa determined to follow the battle till the end, regardless of the final result. But of course, he is on Jin's side, he wants Jin to win this battle although he is still not certain whether Jin will attack him or not when the battle has over.

"Boooommmmm!!!" Another big explosion appeared when Jin's powerful energy punch hit the old lady's face hard and makes the old lady thrown away dozen of steps up hills, rolling, and destroying everything on the path. The old lady lay on the ground again and squeaked in pain. She doesn't understand why Jin can hit and hurt her regardless of the power difference between them.

"Wung....wung....wung..." A super-fast whirling sound is heard from the top of Jin's head. Jin is raising one of his palms and creating a purple energy disk that spinning very fast. The lighting comes out of around the disk many times due to the friction between the energy and the air. "Jang Baek Lightning Chakram!" Jin said while throwing the spinning energy disk very fast before the old lady realizing it.

"Wung...wung...wung..." The purple energy disk moves at an incredible speed towards the old lady's position. The strong lightning continuously hit the area around the disk's moving path.

The old lady finally realizes the threat that comes in her direction at a super high speed. She tries to evade as fast as she can the disk but something unexpected by her happened, Jin made the disk spin in place and expand several times bigger in an instant. This unexpected attack manage to cuts her left arm. The strong lightning also continuously struck her armored body that made of organic metal.

The old lady screamed in pain. Her loud voice is being heard up to several miles to the closest city, Xian City which makes the citizen becomes panic because the voice was so terrifying, like a painful beast from hell that has been released to the world to punish human beings. They immediately enter inside their house and lock all the doors. Meantime, all the people who built the tents outside the city wall were rush to enter the city through the broken gate for better protection. Several guards that left to cover the gate were unable to stop the civilian from breaching the city because they are outnumbered and the main troops still not coming back to the city.

Back to the battle zone, Baok Sa has to kneel on the ground while closing her ears with both hands because the old lady continues to scream with a powerful voice that burdening his ears. He is stunned by the fight that happened in front of him. Just a moment before, he witnessed a magnificent technique from Jin. He can not believe a spinning energy disk was able to expand at will, cut the armored old lady's arm, and destroyed the top of the hill at the same time before dissipated. Baok Sa tried to turn his head again to the fight, he doesn't want to miss the 'once in a lifetime' magnificent fight between the two extraordinary monsters.

"Damn you! Damn you! I will kill you!" The old lady continued to curse Jin who had cut her arm. "What kind of trick that you used for me?! Tell me!!! My power is beyond yours, impossible for me to lose from you like this." She is still unable to accept if she is beaten badly by Jin without being able to land a hit at all.

"I told you before, your power is useless. Power is not the main factor to win a battle. It's the skill of the user that will determine the result of the battle. You can gain power as much as you want but if you forgot to train your skill it will be useless. You will just waste your power," Jin explained why he can easily win from the old lady.

"No! That's not possible! Tell me the truth!" The old lady still does not believe in Jin's explanation while holding her left arm that bleeding continuously.

Baok Sa, who heard the conversation, can understand the old lady's disbelief. He knows if, in a high-level battle like this, the skill will not enough to win it, moreover, the old lady's armored body is as strong as the strongest steel maybe even stronger.

"I don't need you to believe my explanation. I am here to punish you. You surrender now, and I will let the judge give you proper punishment." Jin said.

Baok Sa is shocked by Jin's statement. "Is he out of his mind?! He will let the court punish that woman? How if she becomes wrath inside the city? No one will be able to stop her if you have gone. This is insane. Just kill her!" Baok Sa disagrees with Jin's offer to the old lady. But, he can not do anything and is only able to grunt to himself.

"Kekekek..." The old woman laughed, still in the double voice. "Do you think I will let the hand of a lowly creature like human touch me and deciding my fate?! Don't dream!" She refused to surrender. "I better die. But, I won't die alone. I will take you and anyone around five thousand steps from here with me." The old lady decided. Her pride doesn't allow her to surrender to humans.

"Huh! Do you think I will let you do that?!" Jin said. He prepared his stance to make the old woman passed out in a single strike before he manage to kill herself and harming the surrounding areas and people.

"Kekekek... I suggest you stop from whatever you want to do to me," The old lady knows Jin's intention to attack her. "It's already too late! I have mixed the heart with my blood. I will keep exploding no matter what you will do to me. My mixed energy has circulated through all my veins. If you touch me even with the slightest attack, it will explode. This explosion is inevitable. I will bring you and everyone with me." The old lady explained before Jin attacks her.

"Damn you, old bastard." Jin in rage. His mind thinks about how to avoid any casualties because of the old woman's suicidal action. Jin knows if the guards and the volunteers are still not too far from their fighting place, they will be engulfed by the old woman's suicidal explosion if he doesn't do anything to stop it.

"Kekekek... I can smell the desperation in your face." The old lady seemed to enjoy Jin's desperation. Her purple aura now slowly turns to black.

Jin uses another ability of his eyes that can see the energy flow inside any other creature's body. This special ability is also the legacy of Queen Aghs'tya for him. Jin can tell from the energy flow that is mixed inside the old lady's body if she was not lying or bluffing. No doubt again, she is wanted to explode herself.
