#5. Towards the Final Rest
Meanwhile, in the hamlet of Karang Dua, the terror of the disappearance of babies at birth increasingly unsettles the population. Women, especially those who are married, refuse to have children. This situation is exacerbated by the number of women who commit suicide because of the loss of their babies.
Not a few local residents, especially young couples choose to move to other places that are considered safe. Dusun Karang Dua suddenly became a dead village. Some young villagers who still survive, dare to act to restore security, peace and peace Karang Dua hamlet.
After going through quite tough negotiations between the village elders and the youths, so formed BADATI KADU (Baris Pemuda Inti Karang Dua) where the association consists of a line of young men who have martial skills and the average members are young fathers who have been victims or lose the baby. Pay leader.
Since losing her baby, Paidi has always been imagined by the form or figure of the killer of her child. He never forgot the shriek of grief and pain of Bianca, his wife. So, he tried to find out the origin of the creature. Such a strong obsession brought him to meet Ki Alas ( Mbah Alas ).
Through Mbah Alas, Paidi is emblazoned with Kanuragan sciences that are quite high and understand how to capture and kill Kuyang embodiment. In the days of self-grazing, victims continue to fall in his homeland. He was also surprised, the village that was once crowded, suddenly turned into a dead village. The explanation from the village elder, made him determined to solve everything, however, he could not do it alone.
It is not easy for Paidi to restore the confidence of traumatized youth, however, that is what must be fought to fruition with her Kadu Badati.
***
That night, the atmosphere of Karang Dua hamlet looked gripping, the full moon hanging in the sky, and, part of his face covered in thin black clouds seemed reluctant to emit light around the hamlet that has been creeping for decades into a dead village. The sound of the howling of wolves to each other made the remaining residents reluctant to leave the house. Only a few patrolmen ventured around to monitor the situation around.
A shadow floated in mid-air, alighted from one roof to another, creeping like a lizard and drifting back through the bushes. The shadow stopped at a house where the voice of the woman who was about to give birth sounded. That woman is Jeng Atik. He has been feeling heartburn for 4 hours. Bu Minah who served as a child shaman tried to help her delivery.
"Press on, Jeng's head is visible, so on, if you can do it," he said on the sidelines of the young mother's screams. While outside the room a young man seemed unable to bear to hear the agonizing cry of Jeng Atik, his wife. Several young men stood guard there including Paidi.
A pair of Paidi's eyes scanned every corner of the room with a flashlight in her hand and the flashlight's spotlight stalled on the shadow she had long been hiding from the wooden pegs on the ceiling of the room.
"Quickly, prepare as many brooms as possible" he exclaimed at some of the young men standing in front of the house. The shadow that was the head of a long-haired woman with all the internal organs decomposed looked surprised. He looked around and brooms had locked him up, he hissed like a snake there was no escape. Suddenly a white smoke covered it. Paidi flinched, let alone another shadow appearing, "Bang, that one is mine, I will take it to her master, don't worry that the baby will survive," a voice sounded behind the smoke.
"Shelf!"
The broomstick that had surrounded me shattered and the white smoke moved up into the roof of the house.
Paidi didn't stay silent she jumped after him, "You guys, come with me... Together we go after him" he told the Kadu Badati.
***
The flame and the flashlight go hand in hand, they are like fire demons milling through the darkness of the night and the bushes. They continue to move until they unknowingly cross the small river divider Karang Dua hamlet with Karang Tunggal. And stopped in a building.
Paidi had arrived before him, a young man sitting cross-legged, as if he did not care.
"So, it was you who had been sending the kuyang in our village and its surroundings all along. What exactly do you mean ?" ask Paidi.
"Is that Paidi ?" he asked the young man, "I've been waiting for you, brother,"
"Who, you ? How do you know my name ? And, I don't know you at all,"
The young man turned his body, his pair of eyes piercingly sharp. From the corner of his lips fell a faint smile, "I know who you are, my brother... It was an honor for me to meet a brother-in-law who would put an end to all this. But, I wouldn't want to die silly at the hands of someone who isn't a real knight. I knew you were coming and I knew this was my last day...."
"Stop your bullshit, man.... I don't even know you, how can you say that I'm your brother" Paidi said.
The young man smiled, "All right. Then you must know what this is ?" after saying so the young man picked up a lump of earth and threw it towards Paidi.
For ordinary people, it was just an ordinary lump of land, but for Paidi it was a force capable of destroying a rock as big as a mountain.
"Wwuutth,"
The lump of earth slid down like an arrow released from his bow. Paidi dodged to the side and it hit a stone wall behind her.
"Dduaarr !!"
A loud explosion sounded deafening. Paidi escaped the attack but, the stone wall that was targeted was hollow. Following the second, third and fourth attacks. Paidi dodged around, sometimes jumping and bersalto in the air, the attack did not hit him at all but, the objects nearby shattered. Paidi was surprised, "Fire Bone Destroyer," he hissed slowly.
The young man smiled, "It's good to be your Bird of Scissors... You have mastered one of Mbah Alas' mainstays," he said.
"Who exactly are you ? How do you know Mbah Alas Ki Sena's brother?"
"Ha... Ha... Ha... Ha... Very good, then let's play around for a moment. Hiath !" The young man's body bounces into the air and as he descends his left right footprint flashed against Paidi.
Even if it was just an ordinary palm, but, there was actually a tremendous deep-flowing energy, exposed to just a little bit, the victim must have been injured deeply. Paidi dodged while occasionally replying with the same attack.2 The young man immediately engaged in quite a fierce battle. Every time their hands clashed there were loud explosions making the air around the place seem to shake.
"Tapak Seribu" Paidi said as she jumped back several acts as well as her opponent. For a moment the fight stopped 2 young men were now standing face to face.
"I didn't expect it at all, Ki Alas has a tough student like you. It's too bad you lack confidence, brother," said the tall-built young man, "If you meet a tough opponent, it's easy to kill you" he said.
"Enough. I don't know you, why do you always call me that" said Paidi.
The young man's body was smoldering, as if his entire body was engulfed by flames. He attacked like a giant ball of fire. Paidi was surprised, "Fire Core Power," he said as he moved his hands into a large circle to lock up the fireballs that moved to follow each other.
"Blayar !!"
A violent clash ensued, Paidi's body lurching backwards 2 meters away, while her opponent's body still engulfed by the fire fell silent like a statue. The villagers had already arrived, the fight was luring them to the place where the fight happened they had seen Paidi's body stranded and collapsed rolling on the ground, he said, fortunately the young man had a strong enough endurance coupled with the inner strength and science of Kanuragan that was high enough so that only lightly injured.
"You okay, bang ?" ask one of the residents.
"It's okay, just surprised, only this first time I faced someone whose knowledge is the same as mine. You guys spread out, my bodythat must be around this place. And, once you find him, put this bag in his body or you burn it, so they won't be able to get back in his body. I'm sure there's more than one. Be careful. While I was going to face the young man," he said as he set foot on the ground for then his body shot rapidly towards the sturdy young man.
The sturdy young man was still standing like a statue, apparently he was waiting for a counterattack from Paidi. As a beam of light shot towards him, he smiled, "Good, here's what I've been waiting for. The fight of two real men, Master... I was proud to meet my brothers before I died. Thank you for bringing him together with me, I could die peacefully," after which he exclaimed, "Come, come here show all your cleverness, brother !!"
Just as he closed his mouth, Paidi had showered him with punches and kicks and powerful moves. The young man calmly served him, there was a fierce fight again. They hit each other, kick each other and pitted each other's energy in occasionally jumping back to then lunge into each other.
Every time their hands, feet and inner energy clashed there was a loud explosive sound, as if racing with the sound of Thunder accompanying a lightning bolt that seemed to tear the sky along with its contents. From afar 2 shadowy figures observed the fight from the top of the tree. Their feet fell on the branches of trees that moved up and down by the strong wind. They are Ki Sena and Ki Alas.
"This has to happen, brother," said Ki Sena.
"I can't believe... You have a tough and talented student, brother... Baby, the path he took was wrong. Supposedly, they can be brothers and sisters who look after each other, instead of pitting against each other like this," said Ki Alas.
"I'm sorry I let him indulge his passions,"
"There's nothing for you to regret. Son Doni is actually a good person.... I salute him personally," said Ki Alas, "In this battle, he gave up more, if it would be easy for him to kill Paidi,"
"Already, brother... If continued, maybe Paidi who came out as a winner, from the past until now... I can't match you, brother..." Said Ki Sena. Suddenly his eyes turned to another place, "Hey, what is that ?"
Ki Alas turned his gaze towards the direction that Ki Sena pointed at. From the North, a swarm of red light floated high into the air. The red light swirled in the air and moved down rapidly once.
"My that. They became violent, wild uncontrollable. They revolted," said Ki Alas.
"really. Look at them moving towards Doni,"
***
The tall and well-built young man smiled as a cluster of red light shot towards him while Paidi stepped up his attack but stopped when the villagers heard a cry.
"Bang, I'm the one !!"
Paidi turned his head, the red light was approaching, they fused together and formed clumps of red flesh smouldering light of lightning hit one of them and in an instant the lump of meat was burning violently. In plain sight, the burning flesh was like a flying fireball and was quite large in size. Paidi who fell down did not have time to dodge again when the object was nearby. But suddenly he felt his body being pushed to the side and another body had blocked the fireball.
"Goddesshh..."
"Plocks... Ploc... Plok..."
There was a heart-wrenching shriek, the young man who was Paidi's opponent let his body as a shield, in the blink of an eye the young man's body burned violently then collapsed to the ground and did not move - motion again.
The incident was so fast, Paidi gasped to see the burning body collapsing nearby. Either there is a strange feeling that makes Paidi sad and lost. The young man who became his opponent sacrificed for his safety. This made him shocked...
It was at that moment that Ki Sena and Ki Alas appeared, Paidi was surprised to rush him to salute, "Gu... Teacher," said.
"Wake up, son." said Ki Alas who then explained what had happened also who was the opponent and was willing to sacrifice himself to save his life.
Ki Sena added, that Doni left a message for the residents of Karang Village and surrounding areas, "The wealth of Doni Darmayanto is partly given to the residents who are victims of Kuyang-kuyang petihannya. Even if it is impossible to raise up all those who have died but, with the treasure Coral Village and its surroundings can use it wisely,"
Paidi was fixated, he did not expect to have to be hostile to his fellow students, because of old grudges, but revenge will not raise those who have died.
