KNIGHTS OF MANAH VALLEY
Mentaok

Manah Valley spent some of the food offered by the merchant while sitting in a hut that was provided for rest for residents in the market.

The merchant uncle was still curious about the arrival of the Manah Valley. Occasionally looking towards the young man, but if the Manah Valley turned its head towards the merchant's uncle, the merchant immediately turned his gaze towards the others.

"If this young man wants to go to the center of the kingdom, it is better to choose a detour!” exclaimed the merchant uncle told the Manah Valley. “Do not pass the Mentaok Alas. Although the time is longer, but at least safe from interference, than through the forest!”

"Indeed why uncle, what's in Mentaok Alas?” The Manah Valley stopped chewing its food and frowned.

"Already, just do not pass the Mentaok Alas!” The merchant uncle shuddered at the horror of Alas Mentaok. “There are creatures that like to eat humans, anyone who goes into that forest, no one has ever come out safely!”

Alas Mentaok, as the villagers call it. No one dared to enter that vast forest, even though it existed, it was only limited to the outside. Not far into the heart of the forest.

Some residents may only look for firewood or just hunting animals, honey or fruits around the forest.

It was not without reason that the citizens did not dare to enter the forest even deeper. According to the village elders, there is said to be a stealthy creature that is a guardian in the Mentaok Alas.

Whether preyed upon or taken captive by the stealth creature, which is clear the citizens no one dares to go deeper into the Mentaok Alas. This forest also became the border, between the village of Wirati in the east, and the village of Kabangun in the west.

Once there was a villager who desperately entered the forest even deeper to hunt wild boars. However, there is no news about the residents, it may have been preyed upon by creatures waiting for Alas Mentaok.

The Manah Valley grew increasingly curious as to what that merchant uncle meant. Does it really exist, or is it just a story?

The young man seemed to be in disbelief, is it possible that in the martial world there are still such creatures? After paying for all the food from the merchant uncle, Manah Valley begged for a farewell to continue the journey.

Manah Valley thought for a moment to choose which path to go. If you choose a detour, it will be longer to reach the center of the kingdom. And if it passes through the Mentaok Alas, it will be fast to the destination, but the consequences must be met with the creature told by the merchant uncle while in the market.

Finally the young man chose the nearest road, which is through Alas Mentaok. A forest with dense and lush trees, so lush, sunlight can not shine on the grass and soil in it.

Manah Valley goes into the forest, passing through a road that is almost covered with thickets, with the left right of large and lush trees. The deeper it went into the forest, the colder it got, the sun only faintly lit up.

The trees were getting lush and the road was getting covered in shrubs, making the young man have to scatter bushes to make his way back visible.

When it came to a patch of grass, the Manah Valley paused for a moment to rest. The young man looked up, sweeping his gaze towards the trees. Worry if the creature being told does exist.

And it turns out true, the Manah Valley is followed by a mysterious creature. The creature was already standing on a large branch, right in front of the Manah Valley.

"Hoi young man, how dare you enter this forest of mine without permission!” the creature stared at the Manah Valley. “Who are you and what do you need to come here?”

"Previously, I'm sorry, I was just hitchhiking through. And I was about to go to the next village!” sahut Valley of Manah with a polite tone.

"You know, this is the Mentaok Alas! Anyone who enters this forest, cannot get out safely!” The creature showed claws on both hands.

"Emm, I don't know about it, so forgive me, please let me pass!” pinta Valley Manah while walking closer to the creature.

"Can't! Whoever has harassed Durgabahu, he will die!” exclaim that creature.

A black creature with a body filled with fine feathers. Has sharp nails on both hands. There were two fangs coming out of his upper mouth.

SLAPS

Durgabahu jumped and attacked the Manah Valley with claws on his right hand, slashing from right to left. Manah Valley still had time to dodge, jump and spin to the right nimbly, then put up the horses.

“Emm, why similar to Gandarwa!” lirih Manah Valley again remembered his fight with Gandarwa inside the Lembritish Realm Hall.

Exactly approximating the Manah Valley, the creature advanced by jumping and plunging the claws of its right hand. The Manah Valley was still able to fend off the attacks with his left hand.

Back Durgabahu plunged his left hand, with a movement from left to right trying to target the face of the Manah Valley.

The Manah Valley jumped backwards to widen the distance with its opponent. Back the young man took a swing, trying to strike with a punch of his right hand, but Durgabahu was able to dodge easily.

For quite a while the two of them attacked each other, exchanging several punches and kicks. On one occasion, the Manah Valley returned away from Durgabahu and used the Ajian Tiger Site.

Durgabahu shot towards the Manah Valley with long claws on his right hand. The strange creature landed an attack on the left arm of the Manah Valley.

“What!” Durgabahu was surprised, his attack did not hit the target. Though, according to his estimation, the slash of his claw must have injured the left arm of the young man.

“Badness!” ogat Durgabahu while jumping backwards.

Utilizing the ground as a foothold, the young man darted towards Durgabahu. A precise blow struck Durgabahu's chest, the creature staggered back a few steps. The Valley of Manah moves away from Durgabahu.

“Busty!” shouts Durgabahu raising his head.

“Emm, please let me pass!” the Manah Valley's Exclamation provoked Durgabahu.

Having said so, the Valley of Manah came from the front of Durgabahu by landing a right-footed kick on Durgabahu's face. The creature staggered backwards and its body came to a halt after hitting a large tree.

Quickly, the Manah Valley landed a few blows on Durgabahu's stomach. One final blow with the palm open, the Valley of Manah landed on Durgabahu's chin. The creature fell down with its mouth bleeding.

“Ampun swordsman!” pinta Durgabahu while bowing his body and holding his stomach.

However, the Manah Valley had not yet answered Durgabahu's words, cunningly releasing a slash with sharp claws on his left hand.

Manah Valley who had memorized the attitude of his opponents—begging for mercy, but returned to attack suddenly, still using his Tiger Tread Ajian.

Durgabahu's claw almost hit the face of the Manah Valley, but the young man was able to dodge by pulling his head back.

“Liver prompts, heart ask!”

The Manah Valley landed a few punches on Durgabahu's stomach. And one final blow with the palm open, again the Valley of Manah rests on Durgabahu's chin.
