Pandeka the Sword of the Crescent Moon
Chapt. 15 The Ghost Thief Silaiang

Welcome Mr and Rangkayo. Did you stop by to eat or stay over ?" Mandaga and Andam Dewi bouncy off their horses. Mandaga then asked the waiter.

"Yes, we want to eat. Oh yeah, is there still an empty room ?"

"So sir, please come in, sir."

"The urine is also our horse. Love a nice grass and sago sticks." Mandaga asked the servant to take care of the horse and give the servant three pieces of silver. The waiter of the restaurant and inn was overjoyed to get such a tip.

Mandaga immediately requested a room to the receptionist.

"One room only ?" Mandaga asked the receptionist.

"Yes, sir, a large main type room. It cost two gold pieces last night." the receptionist explained. Mandaga glanced at Andam Dewi. The beautiful girl nodded.

"Alright, prepare warm water and food and niro water." Mandaga handed him three gold pieces. The guest was glad to receive.

"Okay sir and Rangkayo, please follow me." The receptionist escorted Mandaga and Andam to the main room on the third floor.

"Please enter Mr and Rangkayo, inside there is a bathroom with warm water. We will deliver food to you later to your room.

Excuse me for going back to prepare the food."

The receptionist leaves Mandaga and Andam.

Mandaga and Andam were amazed to see the room they entered. There was a big bed, a medium dining table, a long chair facing the window. There is a large bathroom with a tub filled with warm water.

"Andam, you take a bath first, after that it's my turn." Mandaga sat in a long chair while looking at the atmosphere of Laweh Farm in the afternoon from the window of the room. The streets still look crowded by people who enjoy the atmosphere of the afternoon. There are also many food merchants. There are traders of satay and boiled corn as well as goreang beans at a place near the park.

"Mandaga, it's your turn to take a shower." Andam appears and looks more beautiful and fresh after bathing.

The waiter came to deliver the food when Mandaga took a bath. Andam asked the waiter to arrange all the food on the table in the room. There are many types of food that are delivered.

After Mandaga cleans up, they eat casually. After that they sit in long chairs enjoying the atmosphere of the night while drinking niro water. Andam leaning spoiled on Mandaga's shoulders.

Morning had just appeared, Mandaga and Andam Dewi were racing their horses towards Luhak nan tuo. Through midday, they reached the dense forest of Silaiang Kariang. The horse they were riding on began to slow down.

Mandaga invites Andam to take a short break. Near a small river they stopped. Mandaga gave their horses with kaliki fruit which he bought at Laweh Field. He also took four skewers of young mangosteen and two salted eggs. He gave half of it and Andam gladly accepted it.

Once again enjoying the young mangosteen, suddenly appeared twelve people dressed in black with red belts. Ten people grasped the sword and the machete that had come out of the nest. They form a semicircle and surround the position of Mandaga and Andam Dewi. A large tall man stood with his hands folded on his chest. It seems he was the one leading the group. The man next to him looked older he spoke after glancing towards the big tall man. He said to Mandaga.

"Young man, it seems like Thunder Bukik elder is again kind to you. Go safely, but leave your horses, women and all your possessions." The man stared fiercely at Mandaga. The Crescent Sword Sect looked towards the man with a puzzled face, then replied...

"I. I don't know Congratulations. Who is she ?"

"Ha. haa.. haaa.." Andam's laughter broke out, he was amused as he looked at Mandaga.

The man who spoke became annoyed half to death. The big tall man stared intently at Andam.

"Siniam...!!" he was screaming very loudly. He pointed at Mandaga...

"You asked to die nationaat..!" the man immediately charged towards Bagaga. A fist shadow as big as a ball of foot appeared towards Mandaga. That's the punch of the shadow of darkness. A roaring roar sounded. This is a very terrible style that can flatten a Guguak.

The shadow of the fist was speeding towards Mandaga. Mandaga is moving very fast.

Plaac...!! Plaaq...!!

Oh...!!

"No wind no rain you dare attack ? Who are you guys ??" Mandaga said in a cold voice full of threats. Thunder Bukik, the big tall man answered Mandaga with a heavy voice and full of murderous air.

"We are the Ghost Shadow of Silaiang. You have to leave your life here, young man. Tell me who you are !!" The Bukik thunder started emitting a powerful death aura.

"Little criminals... You don't deserve to know me. It's just that if you want to know enough of you I'm an elmaut. Get ready...!!"

Mandaga darted quickly his fists smashed into Thunder Bukik's forehead and his other finger docked through his heart.

Zzzst...!

Ssshhhh.t...! Beegh...!!

Aaaachh...!!

Nervous Bukik yelled stifled, he could barely breathe. Nervously Bukik managed to dodge the fist that was heading towards his head. But the real attack was a sotokan that was firmly lodged in his heart.

At the moment when he was pushed to the back a shadow flashed swiftly following. As soon as Fallen Bukik stopped and tried to breathe, a flash had passed him.

Craass...!!

The big tall man's head fell down. Andam stood near him with a drawn sword.

All the members of the Shadow Ghost Shillaiang were goosebumps. The Shadow Fist that had been slapped by Mandaga was drenched in cold sweat. He regretted having chosen wrongly to provoke the opponent.

"I am the Red Goddess Kumango and her..." Andam glanced at Mandaga. "he is the Pandeka of the Crescent Sword. These are the last seconds for you to breathe air."

Zhiiiie...!! Zhui...!!

Andam's sword flashed rapidly, his body was low and moving extremely fast.

Craass...!! Slash...!!

Two people fell to the ground with their chests and stomachs split.

Whuiying...!!

Craass...!! Craakk...!!

Craakk...!! dug...

Three heads fell down as a golden-coloured moon-like circle flashed by. Mandaga stands next to Andam. In the hands of the handsome young man was seen a unique crescent-shaped sword.

Suddenly Mandaga and Andam flashed very quickly. The sound of the crescent moon sword. Eve death is so thick.

Zhiiiie...!! Craass...!!

Fist Shadow felt a chill pass by. He saw his body fall and blood spurting profusely from his neck shaft. That was the last sight he had seen before it all went dark.

Andam Dewi also moved very quickly. A red shadow shot out and two more heads fell from where it rolled on the ground.
