"Aragh!" the sound of moans rang out loud and made everyone wake up. Arya who was sleeping beside Gio was surprised and immediately sat down while watching her friend. He immediately woke up Gio who was still closing his eyes but continued to scream. Worried about something bad happening to her, because last night she had just been bitten by Rougarou. "Gio! Why lu! A gio! Conscious, Gi!" arya's scream while hitting Gio's cheek a bit tight. While their other friends broke into the tent.
"Gio why, huh?" ask the Eagle who entered first. Not answering the Eagle's question, Arya is still trying to resuscitate Gio. Until finally one hard slap Arya gave and made Gio open his eyes.
"Well! It's crazy!" gio screamed as he looked at his friends one by one. While they were just staring in astonishment at Gio and were a little horrified to see him.
"Hey! You okay what?" arya asked, shaking Gio's body again. Gio who was still between conscious and unconscious, stared at Arya intensely. His face looked puzzled, then he held his own face and body.
"City ... I," he said as he looked at Rougarou's bite scar yesterday, which had already begun to dry up. "Yes, you were bitten yesterday by Rougarou. How are you feeling now?" arya asked, worried.
Gio looked at Arya while holding her face, "good. I'm good, yeah. I haven't changed. See, right?" ask him while showing his fingernails, chest, and teeth. Everything seems normal. That proves that their treatment yesterday was successful. Gio survived.
Everyone was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief knowing it. The sky began to show a bright light. Dawn began to appear and made a thin mist slowly waft out. The cold sensation slowly diminished, but still felt cold for most people.
They made breakfast first. Some canned food and instant noodles are their mandatory menu if they are in a place like this. Usually they will eat normal and healthy food if they are in the city. After breakfast, he tidied up the tent and set off the campfire. Pick up the trash and burn it before they really leave this place.
"Tomorrow, walk again" asked the Eagle. Among the six of them, he was the most enthusiastic person. His longing for the baby makes him want to immediately find Nabila and bring her home.
All are ready to continue the journey, armed with a compass, they are heading north. In accordance with the instructions obtained earlier. Backpacks are on each other's backs, storing their supplies and all working together. Even Gio who was injured yesterday, was also not whiny and spoiled. He brought an unassuming tent.
They began to walk, along the lush land, even sometimes they had to cut down the thickets that blocked the road. This forest really still looks beautiful, even impressed still natural. It was rare for humans to enter this place.
Their steps continued towards the wind. Continue in the same direction with the help of the compass in the Eagle's hand. Arya who walks beside him helps to clear the land, if she finds wooden or tree obstacles that interfere.
Until noon, Abhimanyu who walked the very back stopped. He heard something strange from behind. The sound of a horse running towards them.
Seeing Abhimanyu acting strangely, Ellea who was walking in front of him, turned her head and called out to him.
"You're horrors, aren't you?" ask her while continuing to sharpen her hearing.
"Sound what?" ask Ellea who is now approaching her husband.
"Horse voice."
Everyone finally shut up and listened. And apparently what Abi said was reasonable.
"Well, there's a horse here!" peekkik Gio's.
"From that direction, right?" arya asked while pointing behind them. Slowly the sound gets louder. From afar something started to move towards them. And it was true that there was a horse in front of them that was running over.
They were silent, waiting. Who is the person sitting on the saddle of the horse. The horse is not alone.
"What the fuck!" scream Abhimanyu as the horse gets closer.
"The wrong way or right thing, if the man on the horse is ... Don't have a head?" tanya Gio shuddered in horror.
"Om not mistaken, indeed he does not use the head, but he carries the head in his hands," explained Ellea who was glued to her place standing.
"Dullahan!" exciting Nayla.
"What?! Especially that!" asked the Eagle a little annoyed.
Abi pulled out a sword from behind his body, they also followed in Abi's footsteps. Prepare for the attack that the headless man will make.
The horse stopped, everyone was silent. The headless man who was still sitting on the horse, extended his hand forward. His head looked terrifying, with eyes glaring at everyone in front of him.
"You're sure that our weapons can kill him?!" gio asked whispering.
"Nay, what's that thing??" the eagle asked for an explanation.
"Angel of death!" sahut Arya who really knows who they are dealing with. He walked over, and stood before Abhimanyu and Ellea. "You want what you?!"
Dullahan, Legend of the Headless Horseman. Among the many legends concerning the angel of death, Dullahan is perhaps one of the most terrifying.
He is described as a headless man who always rides a horse. It is said that the goal is so that the hand can lift the head high so that Dullahan can see further the surrounding area. Dullahan's face was depicted as pale white, with his mouth torn wide from one ear to the other. His small eyes were black and staring very sharply; so sharp that anyone who saw it would be glued to it for a moment. Dullahan's head was also covered in a greenish aura. The aura helped Dullahan to see the surroundings, so his head also served as a lighting lantern.
Another distinctive feature of Dullahan is the whip that he always carries wherever he goes, where the whip is said to be made from embroidery of human bodies that have died. Depiction of Dullahan's stature from the neck down, has a more diverse variety. But in general, he has a tall body with a black robe.
The reason why Dullahan is so feared is because the Dullahan apparitions usually signify death. After finding the target, Dullahan will move to follow him, precisely when the target is alone. Another version states that if Dullahan stops in front of a living human eating the person will soon die.
And now he stopped in front of them all.
"It's a bad sign" Nayla said with an anxious look on her face.
The dullaha said nothing. Nayla walks forward and pulls Arya away. "We continue the journey, he will not attack us in a crowd like this" explained Nayla.
"Seriously you, Nay?" ellea asked half in disbelief.
Nayla glanced at Arya, both implying strange gazes. But they finally went back on their way. And indeed the Dullaha did nothing.
The sun no longer looks hot. They entered the forest with a very thick tree. So that the sky is not clearly visible because it is covered in trees high above them. The atmosphere is getting cold. There was even a thin fog around them. Though if you look at the clock now, it is still in the category of daylight. As if it would be dark.
The sound of Dullaha's horse footsteps was still heard, yet faint. At least he won't move while they're still together.
"Nay, I don't feel good. Who will he pick up?!" whispered Arya with a question that Nayla was also thinking about.
"I don't know either. I'm afraid, yeah, how about one of us ...."
"Sst. Don't think ugly first. We have to be optimistic. We can do it."
"But what we face ... Azazil! You know, right, how is he?!"
Arya immediately grabbed the hand of Nayla who was still walking beside her. "I'll take care of you, Nay."
Nayla took a deep breath. He's a little frustrated. He himself was not sure of the success of their plan later.
They are getting closer to their destination. And now a field is beginning to be seen. A field with many gravestones around it. They have arrived at the ancient tomb, the.
"Is this the place?" ask Gio as soon as they arrive. This tomb is near a cliff that borders directly with the open ocean. The sound of waves crashing as the corals rang out to their ears. The distinctive smell of the sea is also smelled at the base of their nose.
"Well, I've been trying to find out about this place for a long time. Because this is where the gate is," explained the Eagle, then stared at the surroundings with a heavy expression.
This is their last trip. The place where the key to the tenth is. As well as the last place to the ten keys it should be. What they do is risky. To bring out a demon that should not be on earth. But of course they will also be responsible for their actions later. A very big response. Releasing Azazil at once killed him.
The tomb gates made of iron have rusted a lot. The door was already very loud. The atmosphere of death felt thick around them. The grave of the old grave in front of them looked terrifying. Many of his conditions have been broken. Even many crows would often cross above them.
The wind makes the atmosphere more tense. The smell of rancid and foul increasingly strong smelled.
"Hey, look! That, huh?" point the Eagle to an old building. The only building in this tomb. The place looks like a cave. Because it is made of stone deliberately carved by humans. In front of him was a locked iron door with a large and numerous chain.
"Yeah, we're going there!"
Their steps were steady approaching that place. The sound of horses that had been following them was getting closer, even now Dullahan was outside the tomb gate. Just shut up, watch their movements. And certainly make them uncomfortable.
The cave door was pushed slowly, a dark atmosphere was immediately visible. Because there is no light inside. Arya turned on the flashlight, making the room a bit bright. "That's a torch!" point it to some objects that are at certain angles. Quickly they began to turn on the lighter, and lit the torch. The square-shaped cave is now clearly visible. Around it were three dark rooms with iron bars in front of them. It's like a detention room at a police station.
They were standing in the middle of the cave. Pay attention to each other's three iron-tested rooms. The three rooms seemed empty, indeed if only a brief glance was an empty room. But there was actually one terrible figure in one of those rooms.
"Which one is it?" ask Gio while looking.
"Hey, here!" gio's screams pointed to one of those dark rooms. Everyone is approaching. The eagle and Abi took out the ten keys they had already stored. Key keys they got with great difficulty. Iron bars around it are equipped with strange symbol carvings.
"This what?" gio asked, touching those symbols.
"Cantra. So that he can't get away with it easily. This is the place" said Arya. "Wait!" Arya took out a bottle filled with the viscous black liquid that she got from Wira a few days ago. Arya then poured the liquid twisted, forming a circle.
"That's what, huh?"
"These waters will hold him, at least we can attack him first." Arrived at the last liquid and has now formed a perfect circle. "It has. Go on, Lang."
The eagle put in a key. The sound of clamps made them look at each other. And that means the key fits. One by one the keys are input. Until finally when the last key was in the hands of the Eagle, he looked at his friend first. It implies that the war is about to start, and they must be ready now.
The creaking of the door sounded loud, this iron door was the same as the door at the tomb gate earlier, rusty and old. But still strong. Everyone was retreating in order, outside the circle that Arya had made. Preparing for the attack of a terrible creature that must be inside. The originally darkened state of the room, slowly began to look bright. There was a light coming from above him. And now a creature inside began to be seen.
A man with a head covering. And also two black wings that were on his back. He was Azazil, the father of the jinn. And before he became a demon, he was actually a most powerful angel, but due to his arrogance, he was eventually cast out of the sky. His face that was once very handsome and beautiful to look at, now turned terrible. Azazil opened his headgear, God changed his head like a camel's head, his chest like flesh protruding above his back, the face that was between his chest and head was like a monkey's face, both eyes were split along the surface of his face. His nostrils open like a cupping kettle, his lips like the lips of an ox, his fangs coming out like fangs***wooden and a beard containing seven strands.
He looked at everyone around. Grinning with a horrible look. Then it stopped when it saw Arya and Nayla. "Well, Samyaza and Lilith. My warlords have apparently come to pick me up?" azazil asked as he continued walking closer to the two of them.
"Don't be too happy, we're picking you up to take your life, Azazil!" aryan hatch. Azazil chuckled, bringing his body closer towards the two people. But the boundary line was successful, so he could not get through it. "Wow, apparently you locked me in front of my old cage? Do you realize, if this," point it to the line below. "Will not last long?" tanyakanya.
"Well, indeed. And when the effect of this liquid is gone, we've already killed you!"
"Surely so, is it? Aren't we gonna be together to destroy this earth, Sam?"
"Don't dream!"
Azazil laughed, his hand sticking out to grab Nayla who had been silent beside Arya ever since. But swiftly, Nayla sliced Azazil's wrist with a silver knife carved with a spell like the one in Azazil's cage. The creature groaned in pain. His arms were spitting out a pitch-black blood. But he smiled as he looked at Nayla."Lilith ... You're still the same as before. It's fierce, and I like it," he said, blinking one eye. He then turned to look at one by one the people around him. "Who are they?" ask Arya and Nayla.
"Where's my daughter!?" ask the spontaneous eagle. He couldn't hold back anymore apparently.
Azazil turned to the Eagle, his forehead wrinkled. Then he smiled, "Oh, you're the little girl's father?"
"Where is my son!" he screamed as he approached. But Abhimanyu held him back, in order to stay out of line.
"Just calm. She's doing just fine. His presence does not really make me lonely. He's a sweet, smart and stubborn kid. It's been a long time since I've been looking for him, and finally met in this life."
"Why are you looking for Nabila? He's just a kid who can see your kind. And he's not the only one, is he?" ask Ellea.
"Well, indeed. But only she is the reincarnation of Vangelina Demitri."
All the strangers hearing that name could only wonder inwardly.
"Eum, you're this ... Holy hooch! The nephilim?! Wow, I thought I killed everything!" said Azazil staring at Ellea full of hate.
"Oh, it's a pity that you missed one. And, you'll die in my hands!" threaten Ellea firmly.
Azazil just smiled and walked back. "We'll see who gets buried in this place" he said, stretching out his black wings and flapping them to make the cave shake. Everyone prepared to attack, each of them already holding a weapon. A little boy came out of Azazil's confinement. He still wears sleeping pajamas, hugging a teddy in his hand.
"When!" an Eagle scream ran over to his daughter.
"Elang, no!" peekkik Aryans. But it's all too late. The eagle went inside. Then Azazil's hand managed to grab her neck and clutched tightly. The eagle screamed in pain. He's having trouble breathing. Azazil carried the Eagle's body into the air and threw it into the iron bars behind him. His neck is black handprints. Hot and painful. He tried to get up and kept calling his daughter. But Nabila now is not the usual Nabila. His eyes all turned white. He just remained silent without expression. Azazil stroked the little girl's head, "Nabila .. they want to hurt me, please kill them," Azazil pleaded with the girl. Nabila. His hand reached out to Gio, then threw him away. Gio bounced around with just a movement of Nabila's hand, without him touching it. They should be more vigilant now.
"When exposed to the influence of Azazil's magic. He won't beat us up" Nayla said.
"Lang, you didn't say your son was awesome!" said Gio trying to get up while enduring all the pain all over his body. The eagle did not answer Gio's words, he just stared at his daughter nanar.
Azazil looked at Abhimanyu. "I think I know who you are, son of Sam and Lilith?" Azazil turned to Nabila, "So he, who will kill me, dear Nabila?" tanyakanya. Nabila. Azazil smiled, he threw his hand at Abhimanyu, and made the man bounce, his back hitting the wall. Seeing that, Nayla ran towards Azazil by pointing the knife she got from Wira. Azazil, who was able to guess Nayla's movements, grabbed Nayla's hand and slammed the girl to the ground. Arya screamed, attacking her with the samurai in her hand. Fighting happened. They attack each other with all their abilities, trying to bring each other down. As far as it seemed, Azazil was far superior, but they did not give up.
Gio and the Eagle were already battered, blood was already coming out of their mouths. Even if it continued again, they would definitely die. Arya was holding Azazil with a chain she found nearby. Attempting to bind the demon was aided by Nayla, who now placed her knife right in Azazil's heart.
"Biyu, they won't make it. Only the two of us can kill him. Believe me," said Ellea whispered as she helped Abhimanyu stand up after being kicked away by Azazil.
"How's it going, Ell?"
"We have to blow it up."
"How?"
"Our blood. My blood will hinder his movement, and your blood will blow him up. That's what I see in my dreams every night. That's a clue, Biyu," said Ellea with teary eyes.
"All?"
"We have to sacrifice ourselves, for everyone's sake. If Azazil leaves, the world is a mess, Biyu."
"But, Ell?!"
Nayla is stabbed by Azazil with her own knife. Arya screamed with anger, and she immediately ran to help Nayla, even though she was no longer able to. The eagle and Gio were already sprawled helplessly. But, as Arya approached, the knife used to stab Nayla, now moved to Arya.
"Dad! Mama!" abhimanyu Jerrit.
"Kneel!" take Ellea while holding Abhimanyu's hand. Abhimanyu nodded his gaze at Ellea, eyes radiating deep sadness, seeing his two parents being killed before his eyes.
Ellea took the knife from behind her body. Scraping it to all parts of his own body. His blood flowed as long as he walked. Every part of Ellea's body was now spitting out fresh blood, he lantass ran towards Azazil who was still enjoying stabbing Arya. After all, Arya and Nayla are ordinary humans. Arya who should be able to heal herself, is now weak, because the knife used by Azazil is a special knife that will be able to kill all living things in this world, except the Archangel.
Ellea knocked out Azazil. His body that had bled quite a lot, apparently managed to make Azazil seem strongly tied to him. Azazil was unable to move, as the nephilim's blood made him weak. Abhimanyu scratched his wrist and poured his blood into Azazil's mouth.
"Om Gio, Om Eagle, get out of here! Hurry along!" abhimanyu cried out to the two men. Those who had not completely fainted, tried to get up and bring Nabila out. Abi and Ellea looked at each other, their hands clasping each other. Ellea had to hold Azazil back until the demon's body exploded, and Abi had to keep spitting out his blood until Azazil perished. Both will stay here until the end.
"Ell, I love you so much" Abhimanyu said with tears streaming down his eyes.
"I love you a lot too, Biyuku. Forever!" Ellea smiled bitterly.
Azazil's body began to crack, with a dazzling bright beam. Abhimanyu hugged Ellea, until the explosion occurred.
The cave collapsed under the conditions of melting. Even everything had now turned to dust, flattened to the ground. Gio and the Eagle who were already outside the cave, just sat down on the ground. Gio screamed out the names of Abi, Ellea, Arya and Nayla. He hit the ground in front of him with a deep feeling of sadness. "No! Bi! Ell! Aryan! Nayla!"
They're gone. Leaving deep memories for his comrades. The eagle patted Gio on the shoulder and hugged him. "Udah, Gi. You should be sincere about everything. It's the best, I'm sure, they're gathered there now. They are fine," said the Eagle as he watched the sky above them. Shiny flakes of granules make the dark sky around them look brightly glowing beautifully. Nabila has returned to him, the influence of Azazil magic has disappeared from the girl. At his age he had seen the terrible and sad events experienced by his father's friend.
The three of them were still sitting on the ground just like that. Shut up while looking up at the sky, hoping for a miracle to come. At least that's what happens. But apparently all, in vain.
Dalluha is no longer visible outside the tomb. Because of him, he has completed his task. Bringing 4 souls whose contracts are up in the world. Bring them back to their place. Heaven.
