Time Leap

After I found the way to get out of the dense forest I immediately called for everyone and lead them. It took about two hours following the route that I tracked using my new spell.

"Phew finally we get out through that forest." Sri Puspa sighted as we keep walking following my lead. Not in a long time we finally arrived at the wall that I saw back then. I quickly try to find the entrance to enter the wall by circling it.

There was no guard at all confronting us on the entrance like when I was in Srivi Mojo. We decided to move inside. A bustling city with a lot of people busily talked to each other. I quickly try to find a stall nearby and asked about this place. But just before I got to do so Hamengku Suro halted me.

"Wait, let me handle this. You must be careful when you are in unknown region. As for you Gen, you are not very good with the languages in this world."

"....Okay."

Hamengku Suro asked the merchant nearby and used an unknown language. His expression suddenly turned pale after sometimes discussing with the merchant. The merchant suddenly pointed out to a sign in the corner of city. Hamengku Suro nodded and later approached us.

"What he said to you? your face looks so pale earlier." I curiously asked him.

"Later, I will discuss it after we find a place to rest. It is a serious matter."

"Alright, let's go then."

We walked to the direction that merchant pointed and we found an inn near the corner of the street.

Hamengku Suro approached the inn keeper and he took out a gold medal from his pocket and gave it to the inn keeper. Honestly I really want to ask what is that medal, but looking at Hamengku Suro uneasy expression make the urge to talk gone.

Later on, we hurriedly entered the room as Hamengku Suro led us. He quietly stared at us and began to talk. An unbelievable tale spouted from his lips.

The Srivi Mojo right now is in a crisis. After the event that happened in the house of the Princess, the kingdom fell in the hand of a noble. The noble led the kingdom for sometimes until Srivi Mojo was attacked by another force. Another country finally bared its fangs to Srivi Mojo after the well known Undefeated King has gone missing after the unknown accident.

Honestly I already knew that events by prediction. But, what comes next simply beyond my believe. As I carefully listened to Hamengku Suro he began to give last piece of information.

"It has been 2 years since the incident happened. Proximately a year ago, the Srivi Mojo finally fell to another kingdom and not just some petty kingdom, it was the whole continent of Western Union kingdom led by Nerdhic country. The kingdom of SriviMojo was completely surrendered its right to the Nerdhic. The merchant said that the nobles who ruled the Srivi Mojo now align themselves with the Nerdhic and sold the commoner as the slave for those Nerdhic."

"Those shameless and unforgivable people..." My mind drifted a while.

"To think that the country that I led fall to those outsider. It will be disastrous not only for my people but soon, the entire world will be engulfed by the Western Union ambition. I know for long that the Western Union desired a monarchy over every continent, however their desire can't bent my country's defense. It made them lose their will to prolong the impossible feat. But now since the barricade has down, they will surely start to work their war gear again." The King gazed deeply to me.

"Wait, what about the 2 years difference? We just spent our time in forest only for a few weeks ain't we? So how come it has been two years after that incident?" I asked them all.

"It seems we passed through some kind of irregularities. When you were possessed by the entity. We escaped from the my house using some sort of portal and stayed within that portal for some time. My best assumption is that the realm affects the essence of time." Sri Puspa explained.

"Perhaps, the realm itself is the corridor of time?" I deeply mumbled since I don't exactly understood anything after I was being possessed.

"What shall we do next?"

"Obviously, we must take back my kingdom, Hamengku Suro."

"I follow your wish my King."

"Wait dad, don't be so hasty. We no longer have any authorities nor we have any soldier at command."

"Why you need soldier when you have a super human?" The King shifted his gaze and winked at me.

This King seriously have a messed up brain. What makes him so confident about telling me to go to war? I dislike confronting people after all. Moreover face a war? Bah nonsense.

"If you don't help me, it will surely become inevitable for the war between each country. Chaos will follow us everywhere and many blood will be spilled for this cause."

"It is still not my responsibility for this war. Can't we just live somewhere secluded? I know I can use magic, but to use it against people? No way!"

"Sometimes, you must use force to avert another force. I only ask you this, will you please be kind and lend us some of your power? I will make sure to bring and end to the chaotic predictions we have."

"....." Silence enveloped the room. Nobody dared to speak. His plea to me make senses. However I was afraid of this excess power at my disposal.

"Will you promise me not to kill people?"

".... That I can't abide. I can promise you that I won't make you kill innocent people."

A conviction from this King seemed to be a huge responsibilities for me. However, I get the gist that the moment I came to this world something like this might happened. My hands soon will have blood stain.

"However, we must plan it carefully. Don't let it be a suicidal mission in order to save our kingdom." Sri Puspa looked at us and talked passionately.

After sometimes, we decided to call an end for this conference. A big reason to become strong was added one more to my list, take back a kingdom.

----

Later that night, we spend time in our own room. Everyone seemed to be asleep already but I decided to stay late to train a bit more. As I was going to close my eyes, I heard noises from Sri Puspa's room. A resistants! Something is definitely wrong there. I ran as fast as possible to her room and break open the door. As the door opened I saw a man in black gear with mask was dragging Sri Puspa and jump from the window with her. My hand failed to reach them when I tried to stop him.

He took the princess as a hostage!

I jumped from the window as well. I followed him as fast as I could. His movement is very nimble as if he was not carrying anything. However, I was not failing in term of speed as I was using wind attribute to enhance my speed. I just need to concentrate on my feets and the wind literally becomes my mini platform to quickly boost my movement.

He stopped as he knew he couldn't keep up with me and tried to throw some knives to me.

"Fwoosh"

I evaded every knives he threw at me by milliseconds. I am well aware that those knives also coated with strong poison like the one with the assassin back then.

I quickly focusing my energy on my fist and tried to gather the air around me. After a few second I punched the air.

"Taste this air punch!"

"Bwoooosh" A stream of wind directed at the man who faced me.

Unknowing of what may befell him, he just stood there and got hit by the wind stream. A direct hit to the face made him flew away several meters. Luckily the princess dropped down by him. I quickly secured the Princess. Afterwards I tracked where he flew and finally found him lying unconscious. I couldn't take both of them, so instead I took the princess and returned her back first to Hamengku Suro.

After explaining things to him, He followed me up again to the location where he was unconscious. However, no one but dust remained there.

This brings shivers to my neck. I strongly believe this was not only a person's crime. It was definitely a group criminals. There is no way someone quickly regained his consciousness after blown away like that.

Something is definitely after us.
