SELAQ
Episode “The Hunters of Immortality” (6)
***
Hundreds of Tumbans chipped like bow arrows. Stabbing corpses under the influence of the magical power of the Boro Religion ritual.
Rotten meat filled with torn maggots! Increasingly add to the stench of unimaginable horror.
The Bunge Village Realm was locked in silence. Protect the night dwellers from the blood-red eclipse curse!
Dead bodies. Like a foam swept by a big wave.
“You are indeed a great Tumban user, Darwire,”
Selaq Bunge gave a compliment of amazement. His body to gurgle, content to watch his fellow students show off the ultimate knowledge of their teacher's legacy.
“Look at Ngeres Beaq, That's the greatness of Tumban Science level three,” the face of Selaq Bunge carefree instead of playing.
“Open, I don't understand,”
Neres Beaq is confused. He did not know on which side the king was now standing. “Why, my majesty glad my troops were defeated?”
Selaq Bunge turned his head slowly, throwing a sharp glare at Ngeres Beaq. The eyes that have been covered by Senjerrit - eye science - it makes Ngeres Beaq not wrinkled.
“If you win, then tonight you're the one I killed!”
Ngeres Beaq's body trembled violently. He was trapped in the illusion created by Selaq Bunge.
Neres Beaq saw his body floundering withstanding the heat. Groans literally hold fire from the bowels of the earth.
“Nobody can beat Darwire except me,”
Beaq collapsed, hitting the earth, after Selaq Bunge turned his eyes again to the fight on the field.
Sweat washed all over his body. Stinged breath. That shriek was more terrifying than the effect that the elite forces had used earlier.
“Like a dream in hell bastard!” his inner.
“Then what are we ordered against Darwire?” Ngeres Beaq got up from his place.
“I miss my teacher. Darwire's abilities are exactly what they seem. It's a shame he died admiring Darwire. Not admiring me. Whereas now I managed to open the gate to five, far above his ability that failed to open the gate to four until the end of his life,”
Selaq Bunge, dripping shiny crystal shaded with red light from the forehead of Ngeres Beaq.
“If the teacher were still alive, I would have been in pain for seven days and seven nights, and I would have pulled your bones one by one from my feet to my head. You must be amazed at me, I miss the teacher,”
“Sadis,” says Ngeres Beaq Parau.
“But isn't victory our goal?” the turn of the Mopol Ngeros makes clear the purpose of tonight's battle.
Selaq Bunge snorted again. Then said,
“Win-Lose! You two are still stuck on the human way of thinking. Happy by victory and sad by defeat,”
“Then what are we looking for?"
“Acknowledgement!” selaq Bunge.
Geres Beaq and Mopol Ngeros. Meanwhile, Tereng Flower never interjected.
“Confession that we are the strongest nation on earth in this universe. The recognition that Selaq is the next evolution of man, after the apes. The recognition that the path to immortality is power. Who has the greatest power is the ruler!”
"In this village Darwire is the strongest. Killing him will bring me closer to the gate of immortality. But if you can defeat Darwire, then the ladder of immortality is to kill you!” selaq Bunge..
Neres Beaq took a few steps back, discouraging the intention of making the old man an offering, for the Boro religion. Now he realized, the old man could not be defeated.
Baloq Darwire referred to as 'stair of immortality’. That means, He is one of the seven humans who must be killed according to the instructions in the Manuscript Duntan Bireng.
“Nation humans, accusing us Selaq group of getting lost. Know that those who say like that are like a foolish ape who cannot take off the chain, even though the key is given to him,”
“You know what Darwire means?”
Selaq Bunge screeched to throw a voice across where Darwire was still standing.
“Selaq is an Ideology of liberation towards real power. This is the key to eternity. Human teachings about heaven and hell are just shackles that make you unable to go anywhere!”
“Selaq Bunge,” voice Baloq Darwire raucous, head down.
Have you noticed it?” timpal Bunge Selaq.
“You talk too much. I'm bored!” sahut Baloq Darwire's.
After saying so, hundreds of Tumbans were deployed to ambush Selaq Bunge. Lightning fast!
“Wusss!”

“What?” the other sahut.
“The red eclipse, it's not finished. Tonight, it should be, it's day. But how do the nights go?”
“Yes, I feel so too. My estimate is now noon by afternoon. There is something strange about the night and the eclipse that never finished,” said another citizen.
“Duh Sang Hyang Kuasa, what disaster befell this village?” said other residents with faces no less panicked.
People bring their families and supplies. Move with quick steps towards the square.
“Let's father do not talk much, all focus moves. Our time is not much,” exclaimed one member of Krame Village, giving guard with a long sword.
“How do you know it's noon or late afternoon?” ask the others curious.
“Do you not feel, tonight is very long, the air should also be wet at night. But try to feel, dry like daylight. Besides my stomach never lies, this hunger is the sign of lunch time,”
The village's Krame forces under Raden Sentane have begun evacuating.
After being gathered in the square, the citizens were divided into several groups. Each group guarded 10 Krame Village troops.
“Division of this group to facilitate guarding,” exclaimed Raden Sentane.
After the division of the group, residents began to move towards the secret passageway to Akah Village.
Among them was a mother who kept crying. She is the Mother of Merimasih whose son was kidnapped by the Selaqs.
“Allow me to stay here, wait for my son to come home,”
“Drust the village security forces,” persuade one of the Krame Village members.
“Later if Serinah comes back, she won't find anyone here,”
“Mother listen to me,” Raden Sentane approaching.
“I don't want to go Raden, I want to wait here only,” his tears bitterly.
“Will you help your son?”
"How can Raden, even if I'm willing as long as my son is safe" he said.
“If you want your child to survive, then the rescue team must focus on working to save him. If mom stays here, then the concentration of the rescue team will be halved, know what it means?”
Mother Kerimasih shook her head slowly.
“If you stay here, it means you will reduce your child's safety chances by half. That's because the attention of the rescue forces is divided into two, half for the mother and half for your son,”
The old woman was pensive. Until he finally got up, then walked in a group of refugees who moved to leave the village.
“Raden, save my son,” beg him again, then step away.
***
Jumindri is mildly evasive. The lightning attack of Ngeres Koneng was avoided lightly.
“Every time faced with danger, calm down. Don't get angry, because your anger can be very dangerous,”
Baloq Darwire's message was so strongly anchored in Jumindri's memory.
Neres Koneng. His breath was racing with a racing heartbeat.
“Ka... Tell me who the boy is. Why is your body so light?”
“Kata Baloq Darwire, if you want to get acquainted, mention your own name first,”
“I Ngeres Koneng, a resident of Tunggak Village, who are you?”
“Desa Stumps?”
“Iya,"
“Create what, other villagers night-night to our village?” ask Jumindri.
“Bocah. Not long ago you told me about your Village Chief who taught Tata Krama to parents. Tell me first what's your name?”
“I Jumindri,”
The Koneng Mopol was shocked. He could hardly believe the boy's confession.
“The one sought after apparently here, his inner”, preparing to ambush. This time unbeknownst to Jumindri, a wood-carved doll that has been filled with supernatural spirits, sneaks through the thickets.
