The Angkara Murka
The Book of Tri Deshi Chapter Twenty-Four
"I know who this is" said Soemantri Soekrasana. Instantly there are points that he can connect to. "Mbak is a mysterious figure who killed many shamans on the island of Java over the past few years. Mbak became the scourge of witch doctors and black magic. I even heard many shamans trying to work together to hunt mbak. They even gave mbak a nickname, they called mbak with Durga," a pair of eyes Soemantri Soekrasana narrowed to realize who was sitting with him. Someone close to extraordinary magic and feared by many people, especially indeed the shamans and black magic users. He himself had experienced the show of the power of the woman.
Hearing what Soemantri Soekrasana said, Wong Ayu chuckled, "My popularity has preceded me turned out."
"And can't be proud of all those acts, mbak?" the Soemantri Soekrasana Response.
"What do you mean ask like that? You think your life is sacred by asking questions in that accusatory and judgmental tone? You're a shaman too, aren't you? Your young age may be able to make old shamans amazed at your devotion, let alone the keris Mpu Gandring is in your power. But your soul is also full of darkness, studying the forces of the heretic and the damned. It's still a good thing that we've been met differently, but when I see you're looking for someone, I'll kill you, I'll revive you and I'll kill you over and over again" Wong Ayu's snake was full of rage.
Soemantri Soekrasana took a deep breath, "An amazingly strange day," he said more to himself.
This made Wong Ayu blink quickly. He realized for a moment that he was carried away by emotions.
"I have a different way of life than you, ma'am. I went from one place to another to treat people from diseases or plagues due to hardship and the work of the devil. I cast out spirits that entered the bodies of women and children. I heal, not kill," Soemantri Soekrasana replied as she stared intently at Wong Ayu's round eyes, which were beginning to dim.
"Unexpectedly, the pagebluks that attacked the villages around this area brought me to meet the strongest and cruelest demonic creature I had ever encountered. The figure of the mother suddenly came, with terrible devotion, taking me away and saving myself from the creature. Ma'am turned out to be a woman who was so beautiful, not ugly and scary as the news of birds. But in an instant, mbak can also turn into a woman who is full of revenge and anger," said Soemantri Soekrasana still look on Wong Ayu.
He felt a little embarrassed and uneasy because he also accused and judged this young man.
The two remained silent for a few seconds.
"Then, what can we do to repel or defeat the creature?" soemantri Soekrasana broke the silence.
Wong Ayu massaged his forehead slowly, showing he was thinking hard. Soemantri Soekrasana waited for Wong Ayu to answer this question. But unconsciously, while waiting he noticed the details on the woman's face. He still did not think that this woman a moment ago was a ferocious and terrible figure. Though his face looks soft, bright white and full of elegance. A pair of round eyes like always shining, coupled with pliable eyelashes and black eyebrows that curve perfectly. There was a line of sweat flowing down from his forehead that decorated the hair child to his cheeks and neck. Soemantri Soekrasana immediately turned her face when her gaze accidentally descended on Wong Ayu's lower cleavage. He felt silly and insolent.
"Soemantri ..," called Wong Ayu when she saw the man turn his face away. Soemantri Soekrasana replied, "Yes ... Yes, mbak. How ... How ...?"
"It all started from Obong village behind that mountain," said Wong Ayu pointing towards the small mountain covered in morning dew. "Desa Obong seems to be a hotbed of black magic that became the power of the space creature. There's a kind of portal there that's powered by magical powers so that the demonic woman can get out into the physical world of her dimension."
"I mean, the villagers who helped him?" ask Soemantri Soekrasana.
"Yes. Shouldn't you know that Obong village is a base of sorcerers and people with black magic?"
Soemantri Soekrasana just shrugged her shoulders.
"Villagers with a variety of knowledge and abilities that they have began to do a variety of stoic practices with the help of dark forces from other dunua that created a kind of plague that killed some people in the three main villages the closest to their village. The first village named Prajuritan village is the farthest location from Obong village. The second village, this village, is named Pancasona. The third village where we met was called Kaliabang. The village I think has been controlled by the creature along with its followers from Obong village."
"So, the real purpose of the creature is to rule every village?" ask Soemantri Soekrasana.
Wong Ayu nodded. He plays his curly hair strands, making Soemantri Soekrasana anxious because of the charm of women older than him.
"Basically, the three villages have a very close history with Obong village in the past. Prajuritan village, as the name suggests, was once a training ground for special soldiers of the kingdom who were prepared to fight and deal with witch doctors and black magic fighters who troubled the citizens of the kingdom. Obong Village as an area where the knowledgeable robbers and the magic backwoods certainly have a prolonged conflict with the village of Pertajuritan. Pancasona Village, as the name suggests, was once a place of producing heroes with Pancasona knowledge. Its scientific community was split in two, supporting the soldiers and taking advantage of their devotion by working with Obong villagers. While the last village ...."
"Kaliabang Village, the dumping ground for corpses from Obong village," Soemantri Soekrasana cut. "Conflicts have occurred throughout history. From the battles of the soldiers with the robbers and champions, to modern times, the massacres of those accused of being members of forbidden political parties. The bodies of the victims followed the flow of the Pratama river to the village below, Kaliabang," Wong Ayu nodded confirming.
"Then, after the three villages he mastered?" Soemantri Soekrasana is still trying to connect the points of information that he can and he analyzes himself into a unity. Wong Ayu himself was actually familiar with the young man's confusion although he also suspected Soemantri Soekrasana knew more than just conjecture.
"He will spread the wrath without ceasing, mastering all that lives and breathes. You know that ghosts and supernatural beings can only scare people. They are sometimes only visible to certain people and there is not much they can do. When times began to change, astral ghosts were considered the figment of superstition. You can imagine if the creatures could finally get out of their world, not just get into the human body and leave a piece of trouble there, but it really comes out in physical form and mastered ...."
"The human world" Soemantri Soekrasana again cut Wong Ayu.
