The Cursed One : The Darkside of The World

Baok Sa's Determination

"This is impossible! My intuition was true. From where did she got that ability to transform? Is she the survivor of the battle in the Valley of the Flying Clouds? How could it be?!" Jin murmured himself questioning what he sees.

Jin is not the only one that is shocked, Baok Sa who stands close to him is also shocked by the appearance of a monster with powerful energy in front of his eyes. But, another thing that also surprised him is the fact that Jin was murmuring about the infamous battle in the Valley of The Flying Clouds. The information of that battle was being kept secretive by the Cloud Sun Sect, one of the biggest sects that in charge of the area around the Valley of The Flying Clouds and Mountain Sumbi. The Cloud Sun sect never released any official reports to the public about the enormous battle that makes the entire mountain Sumbi and the Valley of the Flying Clouds completely destroyed and becomes a very huge and deep basin. The spread rumor said if a group of powerful martial artists was fighting powerful monsters which consumed the human soul to increase their power. Anyhow, no one has ever confirmed the credibility of that rumor until the present day.

"Who this young man is? He is still very young yet he is very skilled. And he seems to know the information that no one knows." Baok Sa said in curiosity while stares deeply at Jin.

The monster is now preparing to attack by throwing the purple energy ball. "This is madness! If she throws that, the entire area around this hill will be destroyed." Jin is terrified by the attack of the powerful monster. "Everyone, Run!!! Run as far as possible!!!" Jin shouted as loud as he can to warn all the guards and the volunteers around the hill.

Everyone is panicked and running away unorganized. During this critical time, Baok Sa realizes the major weakness of his men, they don't ready to face a real fight that risking life like this. He tried to organize his men to move away from the battle zone as hard as he can. He has sworn to himself if he will strengthen his guard's training if he can survive this situation.

Baok Sa throws his eyes at the lady monster that holding a big energy ball on top of her head, he knows the danger of that attack and will try to hold that energy ball. Although he does not sure he can totally neglecting it, at least, he will try to reduce the impact effect on the surroundings to minimize the casualties. He has determined to sacrifice his life if necessary.

The old lady is now throwing the energy ball towards Jin. "With my current inner energy level, I am not sure if I can hold that attack. Should I transform now and use Queen Aghs'tya's energy? But, too many people around here, someone will notice it." Jin talked to himself in his mind. He is in confusion between borrowing Queen Aghs'tya's power or not because he doesn't want another rumor will emerge about him who possessed by the demon.

The big purple energy has been released and moves at a very fast speed towards Jin and the surrounding, Jin decided to transform himself and he does not care if the entire martial will know about his secret and will hunt him down after this incident has finished. Surprisingly, before Jin starts transforming, Baok Sa comes forward and making a defensive stance, he gathers all his energy on his palm to block that attack.

"This matter happens in my territory. No need for an outsider to sacrifice his life for us. I am the one who should be responsible for my men's life." Baok Sa said to Jin. This is also a way for him to apologize to Jin because he, his men, and the entire city has wrongly accused Jin of the murderer and kidnapper.

"Hey... Hey... What are you doing? That is very dangerous." Jin tried to warn Baok Sa.

Baok Sa ignores Jin's warning and keeps preparing a defensive stance to directly receive the energy ball. He gathered a big amount of energy at his palms and makes both of his palms encased by a glowing yellow aura.

"Here it comes!" Baok Sa said when the energy ball almost arrived at his position while putting both of his palms forwards and starts holding the purple energy ball. "Grrrraaaaaaa!!!" He screamed loud as a sign that he used all of his strength and energy to block and neglect that powerful attack.

The powerful energy ball pushed Baok Sa backward slowly, but, Baok Sa doesn't want to give up and keeps trying to hold on while screamed loud. Slowly, Baok Sa realizes if he won't be able to block the energy ball without using his entire inner energy that may dangering his life, but, he doesn't have a choice anymore, if he tries to run, the energy attack will be pulverizing him. "If I have to die this time, let it be. I hope I will be remembered as a good commander." He tried to cheer himself. "Graaaaaaaaa!" Baok Sa screamed again and the yellow aura in his palms are getting brighter.

"Ddrrrttt!!!" The entire hill around the collision area is trembling. Everyone turns their head to see what's going on in the collision area and see their commander is risking his life to save their lives. Although they want to help their commander, they know if they can't do anything this time, what they can do is to moves away from the battle area so their commander's sacrifice for them is not in vain.

Meanwhile, Jin knows if Baok Sa is on his limit. He looks around and everyone has gone except himself and Baok Sa. He feels helped by this situation as he can transform freely without anyone, except Baok Sa, will notice it. Jin starts opening the energy seal inside his body that holding Queen Aghs'tya's energy. After the energy starts to flows, a purple aura that continued with armored skin begin to encased Jin's body.
