SURO BLEDEK
Ch. 87 STEALTH ATTACKS ON SCENTED DECK
"We have arrived at Kademangan Gelagah Wangi kakang. If it is straight to the south of the kakang will arrive at Medang earth where Adinda lives. We'll head straight north across the Juwana Strait first."
Suro bothered to hear Mahadevi's explanation. Actually Suro still memorized the area, because previously a few full moon ago he was with Eyang Sindurogo when he came down from Mount Arjuno to deal with the giant Dragon, first visited several regions to provide assistance and distribute gold coins derived from the gift of Sri Maharaja Wasumurti.
The visited area includes Keling and Kalinyamat academics who still enter the area at Ujung Para or Jepara.
"Before crossing through the Strait of Juwana, we should stay tonight first at the Gelagah fragrant academy." Lord Rencong broke the talk of Suro and Mahadevi who walked hand in hand on his horse saddle.
They walked leisurely as it was getting dark. Moreover, they could not continue their journey, because in front of them they were waiting for a strait. They can only continue after tomorrow because the ship owners who cross them to Ujung Para have all returned home.
"Nuwun inggih uncle swordsman." Suro who immediately replied to the words of Lord Rencong.
They immediately turned the direction of his horse to Kademangan Gelagah Wangi first to find lodging or hitchhiking at the demang house. Their name as the Swordsman of the Heaven's Volition Sword School would certainly make the demon open wide to accept them all.
"We are approaching the city of academia. But the strange condition of the academic city is so deserted. The night has not come long." Made Pasek who had been silent spoke up because he felt an awkwardness.
The name Kademangan Gelagah Wangi comes from a scented gelagah plant that grows in many swamps. Gelagah Wangi in its development will change its name to Demak Bintoro. After the fall of Majapahit Kingdom, in the future the area will stand a first Islamic Kingdom in Javadwipa.
The area used to be in front of a strait whose existence is still in the Majapahit era to the back. The strait is called Juwana Strait or also has another name Muria Strait. A strait that separates the island where Mount Retawu or Mount Muria is located. Around the mountain was once still separated from the Javadwipa mainland. Areas separated by the Juwana strait include the Ujung Para or Jepara area, Tajug or Kudus area, Juwana or Pati area.
The keg.....! The keg...! The keg...!
"Please! Please....! Help...!
The sound of clanging mixed with the boisterous voice of people asking for help was increasingly heard clearly as they increasingly entered the settlement in the middle of Kademangan Gelagah Wangi. Likewise, the chaos that occurs increasingly looks uncontrollable. The residents are running around not necessarily the direction of everyone trying to save themselves.
"What's the matter why the villagers are running around in fear?" Suro blocked the hand of a young man who ran past him.
"Get the kids there's a demon attacking again! Get away from here!" The implied face of the young man he was holding looked so frightened.
"Glemons strike again? Then this isn't his first attack?" Suro immediately turned his head towards Lord Rencong. The four of them were both surprised to hear the demon attack had reached the Gelagah Wangi Academy. Though from the Duchy of Banyu Kuning quite far and separated a strait.
"It's been a lot of kisanak started half full moon ago. Looks like you're the warriors who just came to Gelagah Wangi's academy?" The young man began to calm down as he watched Suro's entourage dressed as a swordsman with a sword on his back.
"Our children are from Heaven's Sword School."
"Thank God the Sword God's school turned out. Lord swordsman help us those demons have destroyed many houses and eaten our relatives. The academy warriors who tried to fight demons had already eaten a lot. Now they just gather at home to guard the residence demang only. Nobody's helping us now."
"Show direction! It's best to stay here first with my comrades who will protect the kisanak from the demon. I'll stop the demon attack."
Without saying another word Suro immediately darted away in the darkness of the night towards the direction the young man had just pointed out.
"You guys wait here. I'll catch up with nakmas Suro." Lord Rencong also darted quickly trying to catch up with Suro.
The source of the chaos came from the attack of several demons that resembled giant monkeys that had no tails. The demon's body was so huge that it was more than one spear in height. His long hair and his entire body overgrown with feathers so thick that it became even more frightening.
Many houses have been destroyed so easily. The appearance of the demons was marked by the arrival of black smoke that flew like it was carried by the wind and began to form the demons.
I don't know how many humans have been eaten by him since the beginning of his appearance. Everyone is trying to save their own life.
Toong! Tooong....! Toooong.....!
"Tolooooong! Toooloong!"
The cry for help and the sound of clanging is growing. The occurrence of the fanfare and screams of the residents from various directions because the demons that attacked were not just one.
Blaar!
A demon that was about to eat a human was unaware of the direction the attack was coming from. A powerful beam struck the stealth's head and only parted his body.
The man who was about to become a stealth meal was terrified to see the horror in front of his eyes just now. He also did not know who had become his savior God, as he had fainted first.
"Why could he die without becoming a swordsman uncle's smoke?"
"Maybe he didn't have time to notice your attack, nakmas." Lord Rencong who came right behind Suro. Immediately he checked the stealth carcass in front of him.
"It could be nakmas. This is probably the kind of ape demon that was told by Kakang Udan Asrep."
The residents who saw the two foreigners had saved them immediately turned to Suro and Lord Rencong.
"Thank you, master swordsman. Please our brothers who are on the south and west side of the academy. This demon attacked at once in three places."
Suro immediately turned his head towards Lord Rencong and nodded. He immediately shot towards the west, while Lord Rencong ran towards the south.
Haaaarggh......!
From a distance Suro saw the demon rampaging while letting out a loud howl.
Without waiting for a long time he again deployed the second style of the Sun God Site, the God's index finger looking for the truth. A beam of light directly struck from a distance of over twenty spears.
Duuarrr.....!
As soon as the ray hit the demon body it was shattered into two. Thrown far away it crashes and destroys a house whose inhabitants have fled.
Suro immediately approached the demon's body to make sure the demon did not return to life. He was really wary of the creature that was still unfamiliar to him. He also did not know the abilities of these demons whether they resembled abilities like a giant Dragon that could recover itself or not.
After examining the demon's body as it could not recover, he immediately stood up and noticed the surroundings that were already ravaged.
'This smile is dead? Why not as what Eyang Udan Asrep had said? They did not turn into smoke, water or fire.' He wondered in his heart while watching the residents who were still frightened by the demon attack just now.
"Thank you swordsman.thank you!" The residents are beginning to realize the presence of Suro who has saved them. Soon they began to approach her who was still standing near the stealth carcass. Fear and tension were still on their faces.
Suro only nodded to the residents who saw him so unfamiliar. They began to realize from the darkness of the night, that the swordsman who had just helped them was a stranger or a wanderer who happened to pass by at the Gelagah Wangi Academy.
A moment later Lord Rencong appeared from the south direction of the academy.
"How did the swordsman's uncle manage to kill the demon as well?"
"No son of a bitch he managed to escape turning into smoke."
"But why did I attack the demon twice, both of them immediately died uncle?"
"Is it because of my attack the footprint of this Sun God that is capable of killing demons? Or because they haven't had time to turn it into smoke, uncle?"
"I also don't understand nakmas."
"Because I attacked him from a long distance. This demon hasn't even been able to notice my arrival." Suro added his explanation to Lord Rencong
"It could be both nakmas. Your teacher's style is not created by humans. Because I also heard from brother Udan Asrep, that the nakmas call the teacher of Eyang Sindurogo Sang Hyang Ismaya."
"He said that when asking uncle accompany nakmas to Banyu Kuning. One reason, because nakmas is the only heir to the legendary Tapak Dewa Sun technique. In addition, enough nakmas know that only Eyang Sindurogo can use the knowledge for one and several reasons. One of them is that the technique will drain a lot of very large chakra. In addition there is another reason that does not allow ordinary humans to use it, because the technique also consumes one's life energy."
"Because that's when Eyang Sindurogo uses the technique coupled with the science of four sages to absorb the energy of natural life. With that condition he can help increase the strength of his chakra and restore the life energy used by the technique."
"From that's why the uncle called the nakmas like not a human anymore who may be descendants of demits, one of them for that reason. Sorry if nakmas is offended because uncle calls demit's descendant."
"Hehehehe. Don't think too much about such a small thing. It was precisely Suro thanking him for being told the thing that Suro had not yet known."
"In addition, if the science is handed down directly by Sang Hyang Ismaya or who has another calling Lurah Badranaya or better known as Kyai Semar then the science actually belongs to the Gods."
"Because in the story that there is Sang Hyang Ismaya is an Ancient God who descends on Marcapada because of the task he carries, he said, that is to guard Marcapada from all the great threats that will destroy the entire order of the universe."
"That's enough with the tread science of the Sun God that I can defeat these demons, uncle swordsman?"
"Maybe, later we will prove true not my prejudice. But only this time there are demons that appear and attack the village. Perhaps one of the reasons these demons attacked was because of the loss of Eyang Sindurogo in another realm. It was likely that those demons already knew that the Sun God Tread science was capable of injuring them."
"I'm sure it's not at the Gelagah Fragrance Academy that these demons make a roar. Presumably our road to the Yellow Banyu Duchy will be longer nakmas. Because there will be many demons that we will face throughout this journey."
