Dewi Selaksa Mawar was really surprised when suddenly the Sacred Eagle Warrior appeared in front of her. He took two steps back. Meanwhile, the Rajawali Sakti Warrior stood straight on his knees. Her sharp eyes stared at the old woman she met crying in the Dandaka Forest.
"What do you mean follow me?" asked Rangga flatly.
"Why don't you kill Satan Arak, huh?!" Dewi Selaksa Mawar asked again.
"For what? He's innocent, why should he be killed?"
"He's the one who stole Tapak Geni's heirloom book!" the voice of Dewi Selaksa Mawar snapped.
"You're mistaken. He didn't steal the heirloom book. He just got slandered! Satan Arak doesn't know about the Tapak Geni book at all."
"Humph! You've been fooled by Devil Arak's good manners! He's being kind because he needs your strength!"
The Sacred Eagle Warrior frowned. He still didn't understand Dewi Selaksa Mawar's words. His brain is now spinning seven circles thinking about how complicated the problems faced. Full of twists and turns.
"He has a personal grudge against the Three Devils of Hell, and it is impossible to match them. That's why he stole the Tapak Geni heirloom book to match the supernatural power of the Three Demons of Hell," said Dewi Selaksa Mawar.
"Can I believe your word?" Ranga still has doubts.
"I have been looking for the four of them for years. To be honest, I may not be able to face those demons myself. I feel guilty if I haven't got the Tapak Geni heirloom book that belongs to my teacher. Now I hope for your help, Swordsman Rajawali Sakti," Dewi Selaksa Mawar said. frankly.
"In the Dandaka Forest you accused Sanggamayit of stealing the book. And now it's turned to Satan Arak. Who actually stole the book?"
"One of the two of them!"
Rangga flinched at the firm answer. Dewi Selaksa Mawar herself cannot be sure, especially since she has only been involved in this problem for a few days. Rangga really felt like a ball being thrown here and there with no definite purpose.
His first goal is to free the suffering of the inhabitants of the Ganggang Village from the clutches and cruelty of the people of the Parakan Kingdom. But now the problem is even wider after meeting Dewi Selaksa Mawar. Several kinds of overlapping issues began to emerge involving the same people. Rangga really didn't think that he had to be involved in the personal problems of those people.
"When did the book disappear?" Rangga asked after thinking for a long time.
"About twenty years ago," answered Dewi Selaksa Mawar.
"Twenty years is not a long time to study one book! The one who stole the book, for sure
have mastered the contents. Meanwhile, the people you suspect don't even use Tapak Geni's knowledge," Rangga expressed his thoughts.
"You don't protect them!" snorted the Goddess of Selaksa Mawar.
"I don't mean to protect anyone. Besides, I have nothing to do with the Tapak Geni book. I'm chasing the Three Devils of Hell just to stop their cruelty, that's all!" Rangga was a little offended."Then why do you say
like that?"
"I only see the facts. For me, accusing someone without proof is a grave sin! Well, now try to prove your accusations against one of them!"
"This!" Dewi Sellaksa Mawar took out a silver ruyung from the folds of her clothes.
"Ruyung silver..." Rangga muttered, recognizing the secret weapon that clearly belonged to Sanggamayit
"I found this stuck in my teacher's chest," Dewi Selaksa Mawar explained.
"You know the owner of this secret weapon?" asked Rangga trying to convince himself.
"Sanggamayit."
"Are you sure he's the thief?"
Dewi Selaksa Mawar was silent. It's difficult to answer that question. The secret weapon can indeed be evidence. But it is not impossible that other people also use it with the intention of eliminating traces. Meanwhile, in the Dandaka Forest, Sanggamayit said that Satan Arak had slandered him. Is it true that Satan Arak stole the Tapak Geni book and killed Dewi Selaksa Mawar's teacher? Or is it just Sanggamayit's machinations?
As they fell silent with their thoughts racing, suddenly there was a loud scream. The sound of weapons clashing was heard several times. Rangga jumped when he confirmed the direction of the sound of the battle. Paying no heed to the old woman in front of her, she swiftly jumped towards the direction of the sound of fighting.
"Humph! What the heck!" snorted the Goddess of Selaksa Mawar.
While grumbling in annoyance, the woman ran while exerting knowledge to lighten her body following Rangga. The movements are fast and light. In an instant it was far away from this place.
***
Demon Arak fought tooth and nail against the Skeleton Demon and One-Eyed Demon. While Ratih was seen lying unconscious at Sanggamayit's feet. Rangga who had just arrived, wrinkled his molars holding back his anger. Immediately Rangga jumped to help Satan Arak who was a bit overwhelmed by the two consecutive attacks from the Three Devils of Hell.
But Rangga had not yet arrived at the battle arena, suddenly....
"Ah!" Demon Arak shrieked stifledly. The Skeleton Demon Sword that was now left with one grazed Demon Arak's chest. Blood immediately seeped out from the elongated wound. This wine-drinking grandfather staggered backwards while clutching his injured chest. But still not controlling himself, suddenly a kick released by the One-Eyed Devil landed directly on the Arak Demon's head. Instantly a loud scream came out of the drinking grandpa's mouth. His body fell backwards and landed head first on the ground.
"Devil, ruthless!" growled Ranga. With a high-pitched scream, Rangga threw his feet while deploying the 'Eagle Swooping Swooping For Prey' stance. So fast was the movement of the Sacred Eagle Warrior,
so the Skeleton Devil that was the closest looked flabbergasted. As much as he flashed his sword to block the lightning attack.
Rangga pulled his feet quickly, then stamped the ground with his fingertips. His body flew back into the air. Its movements were extremely fast, and it was suddenly above the Skeleton Devil's head. The Skeleton Demon was no less swift. He raised his sword and twirled it above his head.
The Eagle Profound Warrior's leg that was threatening the opponent's head, suddenly reversed direction. Lowered his body slightly in front of the Skeleton Devil, then quickly his right foot kicked forward. thump!
The Skeleton Demon fell backwards when his chest was hit by the Demon Eagle Warrior's fierce kick. Instantly he felt congested and his eyes were dizzy. Before he could fix his position, Rangga had jumped by deploying the Eagle's Beak Deathstroke to grab the Skeleton Demon's chest.
"Aaaaah...!"
The Skeleton Demon screamed loudly. The heavy blow accompanied by the heat that spread to make the emaciated body was pushed back as far as two spear shafts. Now the Skeleton Devil
lying there with blood flowing from the corners of his lips and nose. His chest looks flushed, sank in. He only squirmed for a moment, then remained motionless again. Dead.
Seeing that one of his friends died, Sanggamayit forgot about Ratih, who lay unconscious and was hit by a stroke on her blood path. While shouting loudly, he whipped up his flagship weapon in the form of a short chain stick with spiked steel balls at the end. One stump hand does not hinder the agility and awesomeness of his attacks.
The Rajawali Sakti warrior, whose anger peaked, immediately released his heirloom sword. Instantly a sparkling blue light illuminates the battle arena. The blue light flashed quickly to fend off every onslaught from Sanggamayit and the One-Eyed Demon. A flash of sparks sprinkled every two powerful weapons clashed.
"Hiyaa...!" The One-Eyed Demon no longer cared about his profound strength which was far below that of the Profound Roc Warrior.
The One-Eyed Devil now no longer hesitates to clash with his twin machetes, even though his hands become stiff after clashing with swords
that emits a brilliant blue light. All that is ignored anymore.
"Sanggamayit, I am your opponent!" suddenly there was a loud scream followed by a flash of a red shadow.
"Good! You've appeared again, old woman!" snorted Sanggamayit when he saw Dewi Selaksa Mawar.
"Prepare to die, bastard!"
Dewi Selaksa Mawar screamed loudly, then her body jumped to attack Sanggamayit. Seeing the arrival of Dewi Selaksa Mawar, the One-Eyed Demon's heart sank instantly. Even in their complete state, the Three Hell Demons couldn't match up to the Divine Roc Warrior. And now, he has to face this young warrior with high supernatural powers.
Just as his heart was filled with tremors, suddenly the Sacred Roc Warrior's feet flew swiftly towards the chest of the One-Eyed Devil who couldn't help but gasp. Quickly he jumped back. And this is exactly what Rangga wanted. When his feet landed, he immediately jumped onto the One-Eyed Demon who had been separated from Sanggamayit.
Rangga directly with the stance 'Deadly Punch of the Eagle's Beak'. The One-Eyed Demon, who had been terrified, became frantic under the Eagle Warrior's onslaught of attacks
Magic. Every stroke of his hand contained an extraordinary scorching heat.
"Modars!" Suddenly Ranga screamed loudly.
Simultaneously, his right hand straightened quickly towards the opponent's chest. The One-Eyed Demon tilted its body to the right to avoid the thrust. But unexpectedly, the Prong Eagle Warrior's left leg shot up violently to hit the One-Eyed Devil's back.
"Ugh!" The One-Eyed Demon was pushed forward violently.
Before he could control himself, suddenly the Sacred Eagle Warrior's left hand flew towards his head. The One-Eyed Demon ducked quickly, and the scorching punch missed. Even the One-Eyed Devil retaliated by sending a thunderous punch towards the Rockey Warrior's stomach. Instantly the young swordsman's hand moved down towards the stomach.
Truck!
The two hands that each exerted a kick collided violently. Quickly the One-Eyed Devil pulled his hand back which felt crushed to the bones. And at exactly the same time, the Demonic Swordsman's right hand shot forward.
thump!
And it was a total disaster when the hand filled with the heat from the 'Eagle's Beak Deathstroke' landed on the One-Eyed Devil's chest. The fat man who only has one eye gave a short lowing. His body was pushed three steps back. Suddenly he felt his chest become tight, it was very difficult to breathe. The heat was getting stronger and spreading throughout his body.
The One-Eyed Devil quickly summoned pure air to dispel the heat that was increasingly attacking his body. However, the pure air had not yet been channeled, the Sacred Eagle Warrior had attacked again.
"Hiyaa...!"
"Aaaaah...!"
The One-Eyed Demon was unable to dodge the lightning attack. Again his chest was hit by two palms containing extraordinary heat. The One-Eyed Devil's body was thrown far back.
The fat body slammed heavily to the ground. The Rajawali Sakti Warrior did not give the slightest chance. He jumped in pursuit, and instantly his feet landed right on the One-Eyed Devil's body.
Bres!
The Sacred Eagle Warrior's right foot stepped on his reddened chest from being hit by the 'Eagle Beak Deathblow'. Rangga's leg sank into his chest. After the One-Eyed Demon didn't move anymore, immediately the leg that was embedded in the chest was pulled out. The chest was crushed like a charred fire. No blood is coming out.
"Ratih..." Rangga hissed, remembering the beautiful girl who had now been knocked unconscious.
His head immediately turned towards the slender body lying on the ground. Just as his feet were about to step over, suddenly his ears heard soft groans from the right. And how shocked the Sacred Eagle Warrior was when he turned around and found Satan Arak lying on his back with his chest covered in blood and his head battered.
Rangga rushed to Satan Arak who was moaning softly. You can see a long torn chest and the left side of the head and face were badly damaged because they were smashed hard to scratch the sharp gravel ground.
"Uncle..." Rangga helped Satan Arak sit leaning against a large rock.
"Save Ratih. Sanggamayit got his blood routed,"
the low and halting voice of Satan Arak.
Rangga turned his gaze to Ratih who was lying limp. He also hesitated to help the girl, because he saw the pitiful and worrying state of Satan Arak
"Don't think about me. Hurry up and help Ratih. That punch can turn off blood vessels forever!" Satan Arak snorted seeing Rangga hesitate.
Hearing this, Rangga rushed to jump to Ratih. His eyes glanced at the battle between Dewi Selaksa Mawar and Sanggamayit, who looked still evenly matched. Indeed, this is an opportunity for him to save Ratih's soul.
***
Rangga opened three blood paths in Ratih's body which were the most important. Sure enough said Satan Arak. Just a little too late, the beautiful girl's life will not be helped anymore. And apart from that point, Ratih still looks weak. The effect of the tap had absorbed too much of his energy. It will take some time to restore it back.
"How is Grandfather Demon Arak?" asked Ratih after recovering her condition.
"He is still alive, But...,"Rangga did not continue his words."Why him? Is the wound
bad?" he insisted.
Ranga did not answer. He helped the girl stand up, and supported her to approach Satan Arak who was sitting leaning against a rock. Ratih screamed when she saw the terrible state of Satan Arak.
"Don't!" stop Rangga when Ratih is about to scatter. 'His body was full of vicious poison flowing.
Ruth could only stare. Slowly he approached and knelt at the feet of Satan Arak. Rangga followed him, and sat sliding sideways to approach Satan Arak.
"Grandpa..." Ratih's voice was low and low.
"Ratih..., go back to Gunung Lawu. You are the sole heir to the hermitage. Your uncle will pass on all his knowledge to you. And you must also be able to master all my knowledge which I have put in a book that is kept by your uncle. I believe you will perfect it. everything I have," Satan Arak's voice was very low.
Ratih could no longer shed her tears. Rangga just silent unable to do anything. The Skeleton Devil sword poison had spread widely throughout the blood and nerves tissue. It may even have a clot in the heart. It was no longer possible for Satan Arak to be helped. Assisted by channeling pure air is also useless. It might even speed up the process of his death!
"One more message from me, Ratih. Please return the Tapak Geni book to its owner," said Satan Arak.
Rangga was surprised to hear the words
That.
"Grandpa..., Grandpa stole the book
that?" Ratih couldn't believe it. "No! I don't steal
rather save him from the hands of Sanggamayit. I wanted to return this book, but its owner is dead. As for his lone disciple, I don't know where he is."
"Who is the only disciple who owns the book?" asked Ruth.
"Goddess Tuesday of the Roses…," Satan Arak's voice grew weaker.
Rangga immediately looked at Dewi Selaksa Mawar who was still fighting with Sanggamayit. Up to tens of moves, it seems that no one is pressed.
"Where is the book?" asked Ruth.
'Ask your uncle. He knows where I keep it. Only he knows...” Demon Arak was no longer able to finish his sentence.
For a moment he coughed, then from his mouth black thick blood came out. His body twitched for a moment, then remained motionless again. Ratih could only sob. He did not dare to hug the body of the old man who had passed on some knowledge to him. Demon Arak's entire body now contained a vicious, contagious poison. Only Rangga is immune to the poison.
Ratih looked at Rangga who had stood straight watching the battle between Dewi Selaksa Mawar and Sanggamayit. Slowly the girl also stood up, and also stared at the fight. For a few moments they were silent.
"What should we do?" Ratih suddenly broke the silence.
"Leave them alone. We have no business with them," said Rangga.
"But, Dewi Selaksa Mawar can't die."
"In a few more moves, he will be able to suppress Sanggamayit."
"Impossible! Sanggamayit is too powerful!" said Ratih.
Ranga just smiled. Ratih is indeed quite high in knowledge, but
have not been able to assess the level of intelligence of people who are far above it. It is difficult to judge people who are much higher level of intelligence.
***
The words of the Sacred Eagle Warrior were true. After ten moves, it seemed that Sanggamayit was starting to get pushed back. Moreover, blood was flowing again from the stump of his arm. It was clearly quite difficult for Sanggamayit to fight like this.
Several times the kicks and high-powered punches launched by Dewi Selaksa Mawar almost hit her body. Sanggamayit was still able to dodge the death blow. But quickly Dewi Selaksa Mawar sent a kick. Back the man was winking. But at the same time a fist aimed at the chest.
thump!
Sanggamayit is impossible to dodge anymore. His chest received a heavy blow accompanied by high internal energy. The man took two steps backwards. His chest became tight, it was hard to breathe.
"Demon!" snorted Sanggamayit angrily.
"Finish you, rotten thief!" shouted Dewi Selaksa Mawar loudly.
After saying that, the old woman quickly jumped forward with her right leg. Sanggamayit tilted his body to avoid the attack. Dewi Selaksa Mawar's feet just pass beside Sanggamayit.
Before Dewi Selaksa Mawar could even set her foot on the ground, Sanggamayit's left hand flew to her chest as fast as lightning. And....
trap!
Dewi Selaksa Mawar was quick enough to catch Sanggamayit's left hand which almost hit his chest. Immediately he was firmly grabbed by the wrist, then Dewi Selaksa Mawar quickly turned her body so that....
Bret!
"Ah!" Sanggamayit shrieked.
Dewi Selaksa Mawar's fingers managed to rip open Sanggamayit's stomach. And that was still accompanied by a kick that landed in the stomach. Sanggamayit screamed loudly again. His body was pushed two steps back. With the last of his strength, he jerked his gripped hand away. When released from the clutches of Dewi Selaksa Mawar, it was like
thunderweaponsweird Sanggamayitroar towards the opponent's chest.
"Ouch!"
Dewi Selaksa Mawar tilted her body to the right, so the attack just passed in front of her. But the position wasn't right yet, suddenly Sanggamayit's left leg flew fast.
thump!
Dewi Selaksa Mawar mooed a little. His back hurt from being hit by the left leg. For a moment the woman's body staggered.
"Yeah...!"
While shouting loudly, Sanggamayit jumped while flashing his weapon. The attacks that came successively and quickly could no longer be avoided by Dewi Selaksa Mawar. With recklessness, he greeted the spiked steel balls.
tap!
He managed to block chainthat weapon.
The two sacred figures pulled each other by exerting inner strength. Two pairs of legs stretched out to the sides facing each other. Two pairs of eyes stare at each other. That's sharp. Sweat was starting to drip down on both of them. Their faces were tense.
Meanwhile Rangga, who had been paying attention, frowned
his forehead. He has been able to measure the power level in Sanggamayit. Likewise with the level of energy in Dewi Selaksa Mawar.
"They could die, Kakang," sighed Ratih without turning her head.
"You'll see," said Rangga not daring to be sure.
"Help her, Kakang. I'm afraid Dewi Selaksa Mawar will die!" Ruth suggested.
"That's not the work of a warrior," Rangga smiled wryly at Ratih's words.
Ratih said no more. He became ashamed of himself for giving bad advice to the Demonic Warrior who was clearly a true warrior. Inwardly he cursed himself for not thinking before speaking. Stupid! Maki Ratih in the heart.
Meanwhile the fight betweenthese two figures the moretense. Each hasmustered all his strength. Their faces tensed up with sweat. The muscles popped up on their bodies."Huh!"DewiSelaksaRose deflating his inner strength again to support his starting endurance
loosen up.
But there is done Sanggamayit was beyond expectation.
Her hand jerked downwards, just as Dewi Selaksa Mawar increased her strength. And, without mercy, Dewi Selaksa Mawar's feet sank into the ground up to her knees.
Apparently Sanggamayit had read that Dewi Selaksa Mawar was draining additional inner strength. In that second, he borrowed the opponent's inner strength that flowed to harm his own opponent. It was that ingenuity that made Sanggamayit win this inner power contest.
"Demon! Cheater!" snorted Dewi Selaksa Mawar knowing Sanggamayit's cunning.
Just as the old woman stopped cursing, suddenly Sanggamayit released his weapon.
"Ah!" Dewi Sebksa Mawar was surprised. And how surprised again, because
at the same time, Sanggamayit's body floated up while throwing his secret weapons. Dewi Selaksa Mawar, who couldn't possibly dodge quickly, also threw her secret weapon. Silvery rays were rushing about.
Crap, crap, crap! "Aaaaah...!"
Two shrill screams sounded almost simultaneously. It can be seen that the body of Dewi Selaksa Mawar was filled with silver pillars of Sanggamayit. Meanwhile in the body
Sanggamayit, has planted six-pointed silver stars. The body that was above, immediately crashed into Dewi Selaksa Mawar.
The bodies of the two sacred figures collided with each other so that the sound of bones breaking was heard. They fell with overlapping positions covered in blood. No one moved, they died together. It's tragic their death.
"Dare!" Rangga said after witnessing the incident.
Ratih looked at the handsome young swordsman standing beside her.
***
The sun began to show its rays on the eastern horizon. Birds sing melodiously to welcome the morning. Rangga observed his surroundings. Four corpses lay strewn around the banks of this river.
Rangga let out a long sigh, then swung his steps away from that place. He seemed to forget that there was still a beautiful girl who had been watching him. Ratih stared at the departure of the handsome swordsman with various feelings that were raging in her chest.
"Kakang..." Ratih called her voice slightly trembling,
Ranga stopped in her tracks and turned around. Ratih walked quickly over to him. He stopped right in front of the Sacred Eagle Warrior. For a few moments they were silent and just stared at each other.
"Where are you going?" asked Ratih her voice was still trembling.
"Go," said Ranga briefly. "Where to?" asked Ratih again a bit
urge.
"Just follow in my footsteps." "I am coming along!"
Rangga stared at the beautiful girl in front of him. Slowly shook his head with a small smile.
"I don't have anyone else in this world," Ratih's voice was low.
"You still have an uncle waiting at Mount Lawu," warned Rangga.
Rath shook his head. "Remember Ratih! You still have
important job!"
"It's useless. The only heir to the Tapak Geni book has died. Why else should I go back to the hermitage? After all, uncle can still take care of it himself."
"You want to neglect Satan Arak's message?"
Ruth was silent. His eyes glanced at Satan Arak who was lying stiffly blueon the rocks. Really she Nomeant to upset Satan Arak's last message. But..., his heart hascaptivated by a handsome short man inthis front. Ratih is worried too. "A true warrior, will not put personal interests first. Remember, since childhood you were prepared to be a strong and picky female warrior. Are you going to betray the soul of a warrior?"which is deeply embedded your heartmyself? No, Ratih. Me willhateface if you don't Candistinguish personal soul soulwarrior," firm and soft voice
Ranga.
Ratih fell silent again. The Sacred Eagle Warrior's words immediately touched the deepest corner of his heart. Slowly raised his head, a pair of beautiful eyes directly looked into Rangga's eyeballs.
"Are you willing to stop by the Mount Lawu Padepokan, Kakang?" there was a hopeful tone from Ratih's voice.
"One day," said Rangga smiling.
"When?"
"If you have mastered all the arts left by Demon Arak and your Uncle."
"Hhhh..., isn't it too long?" Ruth sighed wearily.
"No! I will come to test the knowledge you will master."
Ruth looked up in surprise. But before he could open his mouth, suddenly the Sacred Eagle Warrior disappeared from his sight. Of course this girl is confused. Rangga suddenly disappeared as if swallowed by the earth.
"Brother...!" called Ratih loudly. No reply.
"Brother, where are you?!"
"I'm coming to test you.
Wait!"
Ratih was stunned to hear the sound echoing around her. It was clearly the voice of the Sacred Eagle Warrior. For a moment the girl stood still. Then he let out a long sigh before his legs swung away leaving the river bank.
"You're great, Big Brother. But I will beat you one day!" muttered Ratih determined.
