Sembada and the villagers rushed towards the direction where the red smoke appeared. From a distance Sembada could see the red smoke burning like a flame, not a single resident dared to come out of his hiding place. They just saw the smoke moving around.
"Rafa, the smoke spread to various directions, please tell Mr. Lurah so that all residents close the gaps of the doors and windows.do not let the smoke into the house," Sembada said.
Just as Sebada closed his mouth, a loud cry came from a distance.
"Lastri, disappear ! Lastri disappeared !"
"Unfortunately, the demon is faster" said Rafa.
"Not" said Sembada, "It was not the demon that kidnapped him, but his accomplices,"
"Don't you say that the Red Skull demon is just one ? Why did this happen ?" ask Dullah.
"I don't know, I don't know, we have to go after the Lastri kidnapper" Rafa said.
"Yes, but, where to go after him ?" ask Dullah.
Suddenly Sembada jumped high into the air and perched on one of the branches of a tree not far from where they were. From the branch, visible to him, a wisp of smoke from the Middle East moved closer. He smiled and when the smoke was not far near him.
"Where are you running, you're a demon ?" after saying so, Sembada turned both of his palms back to then pushed forward.
"Cruush... "
A diamond-like white light shot toward the smoke and stopped for a moment before it froze like an ice sculpture. Soon, the ice seemed to be powerless and finally, fell to the ground while Sembada had come down from his hiding place and approached the ice.
While patting the ice lump and suddenly turned into a skinny young man. He was lying on the ground side by side with a woman's body. The woman opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a thin body lying next to her and then she jumped up and Dullah immediately approached her.
"You okay, nduk ?" dullah asked, "How did the young man get into the house and take you away ?"
"Let's see, I was washing the furniture in the backyard and suddenly this skinny young man emerged from the darkness before me. Just now I was about to scream, he was already scattering the pungent smelling smoke and making me faint. When he realized, it was already in this place," explained the woman who turned out to be named Lastri.
"Stop that woman !"
Suddenly a cry was heard that was getting closer and closer. All the residents in that place turned their heads and it appeared that a beautiful young woman was running. When he saw the 6 people standing in front of him, he stopped and stared intently at them.
The woman seemed not to look one eye at her pursuers who also numbered 6 people. One of the main concerns, the woman standing among the residents, Lastri.
"Don't let you see him, because it will expose you to his magic" Sembada said. Lastri according to, he just lowered his face deeply into the ground.
"Where else are you running Red Skull Demon ?" ask one of the women's pursuers.
The woman grinned, "Give the woman to me, after which I'll get the hell out of this place,"
"Don't dream, evil demon.as long as there is us, he won't be able to go anywhere" said one resident.
The woman did not answer but looked at the resident sharply and with a movement that could not be followed by the eyes, her right fingers that had formed terrible claws flashed across her chest. When the claws were pulled back, he was already grasping a lump of red-colored flesh. And, the resident widened his eyes, his chest was hollow and his heart moved to the woman's right palm.
"Look, it's easy for me to kill you, isn't it ? If you want to hinder me, then, your fate will be the same. hi. hi. hi. hi. hi. hi." the woman's laughter exploded, it sounded so terrible that as he lifted the heart high into the air, letting the blood run down his face, he opened his mouth wide and ate the heart raw. A terrible sight, making the guts of the residents shrivel. Their bodies shook violently, their guts began to shrink.
"Give the girl over, or I will kill you all," said the woman temporarily, from the sidelines of her claw-shaped fingers steaming a thin, blackish-red smoke.
Lastri nodded then hurried to leave the place, however...
"I won't let you go, pretty girl," said the Red Skull stealth as he leaped towards Lastri, while, his right claw stretched out about to strike Lastri's head.
Lastri lowered his head while his eyes closed, resigned to the danger that would threaten.
The Red Skull Demon named Tirta Sari grinned, "Are you tired of living ?" tanyakanya.
"You underestimate people too much, miss .." said Sembada as he brushed aside the claws of Tirta Sari who almost grabbed Lastri.
"Hm. You have the ability apparently, no one has ever been able to pull off these claws. All right then, take this !" exclaimed Tirta Sari while her right claw moved towards Sembada's chest.
While jumping backwards, then salted twice in the air, passing through the head of Tirta Sari. His body was behind him. The female demon had already guessed the direction of Sembada's motion, so, she turned herself into smoke and moved towards where Dullah and Lastri were running.
"So, I'm fooled.it's a very cunning Demon," cried out Sembada inwardly and then his body bounces into the air following the Red Skull Demon.
The Demon's goal was to kidnap the beautiful girls and still be young, not intending to get involved in the fight. He did not care if he was chasing him, so he accelerated his movements. While also increasing his speed, he did not want to release the Demon. Pursuing the chase ensued, they were like a pair of lights across the darkness of the night occasionally pausing for a moment and then re-exciting.
"If this continues, the demon will not be caught. All right, I have to cast Aji Rambah Jejak, so that I can block him," said Sembada then he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, while his mouth was muttering a spell. In the next second, thin white smoke shot out from the crown and spread to various corners of the wind.
Meanwhile, Tirta Sari who was still chasing Dullah and Lastri when she saw Sembada no longer chasing after him, was excited, "Finally, the man no longer chased after me. His science is so high, it can follow me wherever I go, who is he really ?"
"My name, Sembada. I'm not gonna let you act like you do,"
The authoritative voice surprised Tirta Sari, she stopped and turned to the origin of the voice, but, there was no one there.
"Where are you ?" tanya Tirta Sari's.
"If you're great, you know where I am" replied Sembada.
"Listen, man, I don't have time to play hide-and-seek, show yourself,"
"I'm sorry, miss. Well, feel this Snow Core Energy. I want to see how long the skull can last if it's locked up in ice" said Sembada.
Suddenly, the air around the place turned cold. It's chilly. Tirta Sari's body shivered in coldness. Rocks, soil, gravel and wild plants suddenly turned to ice. Snow Core Energy began to be smoothed.
Tirta Sari felt her blood freeze. The Red Skull Demon did not easily give up so easily. hence, it exerted its inner strength which had the power of the Fire Core to suppress the cold.
The temperature of the air around the place was strange, a little cold, a little hot. Dullah and Lastri who happened to be in that place felt tormented. However, at other times there is a cool air confining them, so it is not affected anymore with 2 weather that opposes each other. A split second later the bodies of the 2 people slowly lifted up and shot away.
The cold was now more pronounced and Tirta Sari could not hold it any longer, and...
"Toyo..."
Tirta Sari spewed out fresh blood, her body encased by ice crystals. He could only wait for death to pick him up. Suddenly, however, a black smoke rose high into the air and surrounded the woman's body.
While surprised, he did not expect anyone to interfere in the terrible fight. He had seen the plume of pitch-black smoke slowly disappear as well as the body of Tirta Sari, somewhere.
"Who is that guy ? It's great to just disappear from my sight" he said in his heart.
