It's been 5 days since Zerlan had met the unknown woman.

“Hmm…!” Now he was walking in the village of a small village. The village looked very prosperous, the smiles on the faces of the residents were very obvious. “Ouch… it turns out that I have to go through the hills again!”

Zerlan was silent when he saw the direction he had to go through a large hill that was quite high with a fairly steep slope. A dangerous journey awaits Zerlan's arrival.

Although Zerlan in his village often goes up and down the mountain, but now the situation is different now his body feels very tired due to a very long journey, his leg muscles feel very sore if he has to keep climbing high roads.

“Huh… I have to be strong! Just a little bit more!” Zerlan threw away thoughts that would only lower his spirits. He again pumped the spirit in his heart and stepped towards the hill.

Step by step Zerlan did, no complaining voice from his mouth. He kept walking even though the sweat continued to pour out and his breathing was very limited, plus the sunlight did not give him any mercy.

Zerlan stopped occasionally to wipe the sweat that had accumulated on his forehead. He didn't have much time to rest, just in a matter of seconds his feet were back to step.

“It should be around here!” When it was getting close to the peak, Zerlan began to check the situation. He didn't want to go the wrong way to the location in Shira's letter of inheritance.

A cold fog begins to appear this will harm Zerlan. Visibility becomes limited, it will be easier to cause fatal accidents. Zerlan cautiously stepped, from a distance a loud noise in the form of the sound of water sounded in his ears. When approached the sound came from the waterfall.

“Heeh… how unique, in a place like this there is a waterfall!” Zerlan did not expect that the steep hill that looked very scary had such an extraordinary natural scenery.

On top of the peak there is a waterfall that flows fast, the tired feeling that came over Zerlan seemed to vanish when he saw it.

As instructed in the letter, Zerlan continued to walk until he approached the waterfall. From behind the waterfall there is a cave connected to the location of the treasure Shira referred.

The floor Zerlan stepped on was very slippery, the cave was wet with water which made the stone surface slippery. If he hurried, something unexpected will happen, head can bleed from a hard impact, especially the place is filled with very sturdy stones.

Zerlan's eyes bulged as he passed through the cave passage, it was like he was in a different realm. There is a beautiful lake, lotus flowers on it add to the exotic impression.

Even as Zerlan approached the lake the reflection of his face was as clear as a spotless clean mirror.

Zerlan took the lake water with both hands.

“Glek!”

One gulp that frees the throat from thirst enters the esophagus and reaches the stomach. “Huh…what exactly is this place?” Zerlan's eyes glanced around. "Uh!" From far away he saw a bright light.

Zerlan began to approach the light, it turned out that after being approached the light came from a stone contained in a black chest.

Zerlan slowly opened the chest. There is a black sword and a vertical line on the sharp edge of the sword.

“Hmm…!” Zerlan felt suspicious, there was no way that the sword was just in a crate on a rock like something that had no meaning.

Zerlan tries to find a clue. Maybe something bad will happen if he takes the sword.

For 10 minutes looking around the mound of stone swords, but Zerlan did not find anything suspicious.

Zerlan didn't take it right away, he needed some more evidence before he was really sure that it was Shira's intended treasure.

The letter that Shira gave him was opened again, turned over, researched, and examined carefully, there was nothing suspicious, this made Zerlan even more confused.

“Did I just take this sword for granted? But will this sword bring badness to me?” Zerlan looked seriously at the sword. A sword that does not have a scabbard, a mysterious aura radiates from the sword.

After thinking enough Zerlan was willing to take the risk. His right hand began to grip the sword, his hand felt something strange. It was as if there was a flow of energy giving off a small sting and moreover the sword was extremely heavy.

The longer the hand feels tired when trying to lift it. The first attempt failed, the weight of the sword was too heavy for him to lift.

Not giving up, Zerlan tried to raise the sword again. This time he put all his strength into it. “Ggggrm!” Breath held, both hands used with all their might to lift the sword. Apparition that looks like someone who is trying to defecate.

"Tsk!"

After struggling enough, he finally managed to lift the sword, but Zerlan had to sit down, his butt hit hard enough that it hurt so much.

Zerlan was silent with his eyes fixed on the orb on the hilt of the sword, a bright red color that caught his eye.

Dug!!!

Suddenly Zerlan's heartbeat once, once it beat so hard that make his chest hurt.

"What's this?" Zerlan's vision started to get blurry. "What happened? Why is my head getting dizzy?”

In Zerlan's eyes everything seems to be spinning. His body also seemed to be floating in the sky, then Zerlan's consciousness disappeared.

***

"Uh?" Zerlan then wakes up in a strange place.

All around him was a strange sight. From a distance a woman was standing looking at him, the woman had a pretty face, her eyes were very empty.

Her body was clad in a long white dress, one thing could imagine that woman had a sexy body.

The woman raised her hand, then pointed in a straight direction. Zerlan turned to the direction the woman was pointing at.

He was confused that what the woman pointed was only a bright spot like sunlight. Zerlan turned back to the woman, his body became chills because the woman suddenly disappeared.

Not for a long time, while Zerlan was still confused, a strange sound appeared, a sound that sounded like the sword scraping. Zerlan looked behind him, the light that the woman pointed at was suddenly in front of him.

Zerlan was like being pulled into a dimension, his body felt like fallen from a height of about 150 meters. His heartbeat was so fast with his eyes couldn't blink.

That's when he saw the figure of a person, that face belonged to Shira who was seriously looking at him. Shira nodded with a faint smile on her face.

"Ugh!"

After that incident Zerlan suddenly woke up, he looked very shocked. "What was that dream?" Zerlan glanced around, it was already dark.

The dream seemed very short, but in reality how long had he been asleep to bring the day that had been turned into night.

"What exactly is this sword?" Zerlan felt a little scared when he looked back at the sword in his hand.

***

Meanwhile on the same night, but in another place. Some people have felt something quite strange.

They feel that something unexpected will happen.

“Hehehe… looks like things are going to get really interesting!” A man sitting on a throne smiled to himself when he got a mysterious strong feeling that had just settled in his heart.
