《Astral Land》Chapter 6 Events at the waterfall

"This is very important because when you are away from your physical body, you need a long time to come back, even though this is not something important, but at least this needs to be reminded," Sarah reminded again.
Reno nodded again and immediately flew past the old tree in front of him.
When Reno penetrated the old tree, he immediately sucked into a mighty vortex.
The vortex pulls the young man in with the very extraordinary power.
The young man tried to move from the strength of the vortex that came out, but Reno's efforts were in vain because whatever he did, the vortex energy which currently gripped Reno's entire body still could not be resisted.
Reno finally resigned to the happened phenomenon; he did not try to fight back.
In an instant, the young man's body flew, turning, circling past the long "maze."
Reno could not see anything on this trip; his vision was dark, then turned gray, which then turned into orange, purple, blue, and yellow.
Soon after Reno was spewed out from the energy of the portal door, he was thrown somewhere, landing in a dense and shady forest.
Reno stood up, began to focus his eyes on the surroundings.
The scenery is full of large trees and cliffs.
The plants around the youth are quite strange because they are very tall and big like plants in ancient times.
The trees whose shape he had never met in the real world made him amazed.
Although the shape of leaves and twigs from trees around Reno has similarities to trees that exist in the real world, however, these trees have a three-fold larger form with trees that live in the real world.
"Where am I?" Reno said to himself
Before Reno set his first foot on the road, he was shocked by the condition of his body, which was no longer transparent like before.
The body of the young man has returned like a physical body that is the same as the body that he has in the real world, except that the clothes he wears at this time are entirely different from the clothes the young man wears every day in the real world.
Reno only wore brown trousers made of cotton.
He also wore sandals made of wood with ropes from small branches of coconut trees.
The sandals that Reno wears are not the same as the flip-flops that exist in the real world because the slippers that he usually wears in the real world are made of rubber while what he is currently wearing is made of wood and twigs.
Not forgetting the previous Sarah's message, Reno then tried to remember the position he landed and focused his gaze on the large tree in front of the young man.
The big tree that is currently in front of the young man is the portal door where Reno comes from the real world to the astral land.
The portal door is also the media he will use to return to the real world right next to his house.
In addition to remembering the location of the portal door, Reno did not forget to mark the large tree in front of him now by taking a large stone weighing about one Kilogram.
Reno took three of the same stones and then placed the stones, each in the north, west, and east, forming a triangular pattern and then stacking several twigs and leaves that were laying around the tree.
Reno then set foot after finish marking the portal tree in front of him.

He looked around right and left, if there would be people around him, he could find.
Reno then continued walking along the forest while memorizing the path he passed until finally, the young man's steps stopped when he heard a falling waterfall sound.
"Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"
The young man glanced north and then turned towards the sound.
The step of the young man who had stopped then continue to walk towards the sound of the waterfall.
He was sure with the sound he heard at this time was the noise coming from a waterfall because Reno's village also had a small waterfall in the middle of the forest, so he was very familiar with the sound.
The sound of the water falling from the heights of the rocks beneath it has its characteristic that is quite known to Reno.
He was very sure of what he heard was the sound that came from a waterfall.
As soon as Reno arrived at the location, he did not go straight to the waterfall but hid behind bushes that grew thick around the waterfall.
His action is to ascertain whether someone else was around the waterfall before he approached the water and plunge closer.
Reno was quite surprised by his hearing because the young man heard laughing sound from a few girls around the waterfall.
"Girls' voices? Oh? Are they taking a bath? "Reno said to himself.
Reno, who is also a real man, is indeed curious about the sweet sounds coming from the girls around the waterfall.
When Reno's curiosity peaked, the young man began to settle back and forth to see more clearly who the girls were around the waterfall.
Reno peeked and then focused his eyes on the sound and was surprised to find some girls cheerfully playing water around the waterfall.
The girls in front of Reno have a gorgeous white face and very magnificent in front of his eye.
There are about ten girls at the waterfall location, five of which are in the water, and five others stand on rocks located in the middle of the lake.
They laugh, joking while splashing water with their friends.
Reno viewed all the girls one by one, the appearance of the girls in front of him is so gorgeous.
The faces of the girls in front of the young man certainly could thrill every man who saw them.
Reno's eyes immediately glared in amazement when his eyes focused on the faces of the girls who were currently playing water because what was before him were ten young girls with smooth faces like angels descending from the sky.
The girls all wore clothes made of silk on the outside, mixed with "kebaya" layered with batik fabrics.
"What are they doing?" Reno then thought, "Are they going to take a bath?"
Reno worried that if the ten women in front of him, he was afraid that if his actions hid behind bushes could be considered as an act of pervert.
Because Reno was an excellent young man, the young man did not continue his actions to peek.
He prefers to go and leave the location of the waterfall.
"Eeeekkkkkkkkkkkk," a sudden screaming that came from one of the women in the water.
Reno stopped, turn around, and peeked again.
Based on the young man's observation, the shout came from the green "kebaya" girl.
When compared with nine other beautiful girls, this green "kebaya" woman has the most beautiful face, because besides being white, the girl also has a great aura.

When compared to other girls, this girl's beauty can bring down the entire kingdom of the world in an instant with her extraordinary graceful face.
The beautiful girl seems struggling to get away from something that pulled her feet from the bottom of the water.
The girl with green kebaya is trying to maintain her balance, the other girls around the green kebaya girl begun to panic from fear.
Although afraid by fear, some of them would still dare to enter into the water then pulled the green kebaya girl with difficulty.
However, the efforts of the other girls who wanted to help the green kebaya girl seemed futile because, in the end, the green kebaya girl still sank deep into the water.
"Princess!"
"Princess!"
"Princess!"
Seeing the girl disappear in front of them, the other nine girls shouted hysterically while calling out her noble title.
One of the nine girls then spoke in a panicked tone to the other girls "We must inform this matter to the King immediately! before it's too late."
"If we ask for help from the King, there is a possibility to save the princess; we must return to the kingdom."
All the girls then ran away, leaving the location of the waterfall.
Reno was silent, a bit confused by the incident, and the conversation that had just happened before him, he then muttered to himself.
"Princess?"
"King?"
"Kingdom?"
The language that seems coming from the girl's conversation only can be seen in history, and fantasy books in the real world make him confused.
However, Reno didn't daydream; he quickly jumped from behind the bushes around the waterfall.
His eyes glanced in all directions to make sure the girls who were around the waterfall were gone.
Seeing the location around the waterfall seemed empty and quiet, without further ado, Reno jumped from the bushes, darted into the water, dived and swam to help the girl who had sunk inside the lake.
The water of the lake around the waterfall is quite cold, colored with greenish-blue; green comes from the aquatic plants that grow in the lake while the blue color comes from the color of the sky reflected in clear water.
Reno was shocked when his body was in the lake because his vision at this time was not disturbed by water.
Reno can accelerate without moving his hand or foot movements to swim.
Reno was able to accelerate quickly like a bullet spewed out by a rifle with only the mind's ability and mental control in his brain.
Reno swims like a torpedo rocket in the water, his movements were fast, swooping like a bird catching a prey.
Within seconds, Reno could see the figure of the girl with the green kebaya still struggling in the water, her legs held by a fingerless octopus hand.
The hand is quite long and slimy and has suction pores in the skin.
The hand holding the girl seemed to wrap around the girl's leg and then pulling it into the water.
The girl is struggling to escape, but the suddenly surprised when she saw Reno's figure came before her.
The girl thought in her mind whether the young man in front of her came to help?
Fear and sadness mixed with happiness began to appear in the girl's mind.
The girl then opened her mouth, trying to shout, "help!" But in vain, her voice was not heard because her current position was in the water.
The scream that came out of the girl's mouth produced air bubbles that floated to the surface.
The girl struggled again to escape and then stretched out her hand towards Reno.
Seeing this condition, Reno swims quickly, and within seconds he was immediately in front of the girl.
Reno then grabbed the octopus hand with all his might.
The young man tried to shake the octopus hand that binds the girl, but it seemed futile because the octopus's grip was firm enough so that it was difficult to take it off.
When Reno grasped the octopus's hand, he remembered the breathing technic from the bookshelf at his home.
One of the fundamental energy sciences contained in the book explains that the channeled energy in the human body can be concentrated into one particular part of the body.
The energy can be transfer to a particular part of the body and will increase its power.
Remembering this teaching, Reno immediately concentrated on focusing energy from within.
These collected energies concentrated into the palm of his hand, which is currently holding onto the fingerless octopus's hand.
The young man was shocked by the next phenomenon because surprisingly, there was a massive energy movement from inside Reno's body towards his current hand.
The understanding absorbed from the cultivation energy book was unexpectedly worked well in this new world.
Not long after Reno's body began to glow, even the pores of the skin from the head, hands to Reno's feet began to shine too.
On the other hand, the girl who saw this phenomenon in front of her seemed surprised also.
Seeing Reno's whole body covered in light is the first phenomenon that she saw in her lifetime.
The girl realized that the hero in front of her was a figure with unique martial arts.
This makes the girl clinging in awe and increasingly curious because the man before the girl is very young but has been able to cultivate such powerful energy.
Regardless of her admiration towards the figure in front of her, the girl has hope, whatever this young man is currently doing with her current condition, she hopes the hand which presently wrapped around her leg can be released immediately.
After a few seconds later, the sparkle of light in Reno's body began to flow to one point towards his hand.
The sparkle of the light then sparkled brightly like the glow of a small sun in the young man's hand.
"Batoom"
The sound of an explosion occurred.
The girl was surprised, even though the sound of the explosion did not make her hearing disturbed, but once the girl could not imagine if the blast occurred outside the water, then it was confident that the explosion would deform an eardrum problem.
What makes the woman strange is that the explosion did not hurt Reno's hand or the woman's leg at all.
The energy released by Reno is energy that seems to focus on hurting the octopus's hand, which wrapped around her leg.
Because Reno focused his energy on his hand to cut off the octopus's grip, then what happened next was the octopus's hand wrapped around the girl's leg was cut off.
Seeing the hand of the octopus injured and broken, Reno pulled the girl's hand and shot out from inside the lake.
"Boom"
The young man shot high up out of the lake and landed like a superhero in fantasy stories.
