The Arkana: The Demon Hunters
Guto Geni

Previous ....

Wibowo stared at the black plume of smoke that melted with the dust of the ruins. A while ago there was a pretty fierce fight in this place.

Now the skinny, burly man in a black shirt with a puffed sleeve took the reddish-black varsity jacket lying on the ground, then cleaned and put it on.

It was just that, just as he was about to walk away, his thighs suddenly trembled. Bowo's face turned somewhat riled up.

"This is what the hell?!" The bald man was a little upset because during his battle against the evil spirit earlier he was plagued by the vibration of the mobile phone that was in his pants pocket.

The man's phone was ringing continuously. An irritated Bowo took the object out of the bag, then stared at the screen. Apparently there were more than 20 missed calls from Mahari. Among those 20 calls, there was a message and a single point of location.

"Finish our mission of eating. Cepetan came here before Yasa ngabisin everything." Mahari said in the message.

Bowo chuckles. He was most happy with the meal, what else was treated. Soon he rushed to the location that Mahari sent by riding his red Kawasaki KZ200 motorcycle.

Damn, again the bald man was fooled. What Mahari means by eating is to finish off the evil spirit. Once Bowo arrived at the location of Mahari, he was immediately presented with a terrible menu. Mahari's car was dredged by a lower middle-level evil spirit, and right in front of the car was a large creature who was about to pound Mahari with his big mace.

"Thank you for the food, you son of a bitch!" exciting Bowo. He got off his bike and ran quickly from behind while collecting atma on his fist. The man jumps up Mahari's car and lunges to beat up the huge mace that darted almost to finish off his boss.

...****************...

Back to the time it should have been.

Mahari picked up a cigarette and burned the tip. He opened the window, then threw the smoke from his mouth out of the car.

"From here the real battle is just about to begin" the man murmured. He took the flask in the back seat and gave it to Yasa. "Recover yourself, Yasa. We don't know what's gonna happen. Maybe Wibowo will need your support."

"Okay, Boss." Yasa took the flask and opened the lid. "What water is this?"

Mahari looked so serious looking at Yasa. "The water of life."

Yeah, correct. It is warm water to relieve dry throat.

"Don't forget this." Mahari threw the black colored box at Yasa.

Yasa opened the box and asked what it was. It looks like candy. "This what?"

Mahari smiled without an answer. The man refocused on the fight between one of his employees and the giant ruler of the forest.

About the answer sought by Yasa .. okay, right. The box contained mint candies that Mahari bought at the supermarket to relieve her throat. The man simply changed the wrapper to make it seem mystical.

On the other hand, Bowo was still standing highlighting the large creature in front of him. After colliding with the big mace, Wibowo did not look at all in pain or fear. The bald man smirked while widening his legs, making the horses fight.

Mahari put his head out through the open car window.

"Good meal, Wo!" the cry on Bowo.

"Thank you for the meal!" Bowo takes one step forward with his low and right foot in front, then his left foot takes the second step like a boxer. He made his left foot as a pedestal, while his right hand was ready to do a straight punch on the large creature in front of him. He quickly thrust the atma's full-powered punch into the giant's leg.

The giant kneels one leg as a result of Bowo's attack. Now the man stepped on the fallen leg as a foothold to jump. Bowo pulled out his hand, then slammed a second punch into the stomach of his great opponent.

Again, the attack had a big impact. The creature spewed black blood from its mouth.

Bowo who was currently back on the ground was about to strike back, but suddenly the giant in front of him grinned, making the man goosebumps. With quick reflexes, Bowo stopped his steps. He took two steps back to keep his distance.

Disregarding the intention of attacking was indeed a right decision. Because from the body of the creature appears a fire that burns anything around it.

If only his instincts were late in responding, maybe Bowo was already a fry man at this time.

"May you too, man," said the creature. He pulled the hand that carried the mace back, plotting to attack with full force. "It's my turn!" He quickly pressed one hand to target Bowo and set his rock on fire.

Yasa got out of the car and cast a protection spell in front of Bowo. Three atma shields appeared to be fortresses.

However, Yasa's atma shield broke just like that when it was hit by the attack. The big cudgel continued to shoot and hit Bowo until it hit the front bumper of Mahari's car. The bald man spewed blood from his mouth.

"Bow!" yasa exclaimed a look away from his opponent.

In an instant the giant disappeared and appeared behind Yasa whose focus was split as a result of Bowo.

Yasa's eyes widened as he felt the killing intent from behind.

"I am Buto Geni, the mighty creature that rules this region!" Buto Geni bulldozed Yasa with his big fist.

Yasa's small body bounced next to Bowo who was still sitting numb. Now the two of them can only lean on the bumper of the car without being able to move.

Mahari threw away his cigarette, he stared at the creature from inside the car with a sharp look. As a leader, he would not let his subordinates get hurt more than this.

"Feel this motherfucker!" mahari yelled half her body out of the window, while one hand ...

Tin! Tin! Tin!

"Stop the stupid giant!" mahari continued with a horn full of anger.

"Lu still believe that the om-om behind us is powerful?" bowo's question was accompanied by a small oddity. "He's just a masseuse with acupuncture who is good at talking about doang. Sick of people! Not really, Yas."

Yasa smiled faintly. "Until the end, the cave believes the boss has a secret plan."

"Spam horn?" ask Bowo.

Yasa did not answer. Right now he was only able to stare at Buto Geni who was walking towards them. Each step left a trail of fire. It seemed like the sound of the horn full of Mahari's anger did not make him tremble in the least.

Mahari hit the car dashboard. "Damn! His anti-demonic astral horn is broken!"

Once again Buto Geni raised his fire-burning tone. The King was about to wipe these men out of his territory.

"Bow!" Yasa hugged Bowo's arm. "Where is this?!"

Bowo could only sigh. "Yes that. Nice try and see you again on another life. Thanks for everything."

"Yes! This is the car why!" Meanwhile Mahari is locked in the car. He tried desperately to open the door, but could not. For a moment he looked ahead. Sweats as big as corn seeds adorned his face.

"Oi, oi, oi, wait!" exclaimed the man while staring at the big mace that shot towards his car in a slow impression.

'People say, when everything around us seems to be moving very slowly, it means our death is near, huh?' Inner Mahari, Yasa, and Bowo together.

Suddenly a divine light shone on them as if the messenger of God was coming to pick them up. Suddenly warm atmosphere.

'We are sincere, Lord.' Their minds are together again. Slowly the three men closed their eyes decorated with a resigned smile full of sincerity.

A loud bang rang out to make the ground shake. The big cudgel now hit the ground until it was destroyed.

"Iro Yudho Wicaksono."

The three of them opened their eyes again. A miracle happened. The big mace belonging to Buto Geni is lying next to Mahari's car and the creature's left hand. Black blood flowed profusely from his arm that was severed from the streak of light. The ray of light just now was not divine light, but rather the saber of the Bengisura sword.

"Hohoho all according to the plan I made," muttered Mahari as she stared at the windshield that reflected the visuals behind her car.

A handsome man walked towards them. He is Darmanta Kusuma who just finished KKN. Manta carried the sword in his right hand and led the large suitcase in his left hand.

Just like Wibowo. Mahari also contacted Darmanta who happened to be undergoing KKN in Wates area. Because tonight the handsome man returned to Jogja and crossed the same path with the battlefield, from this morning Mahari contacted him just in case.

Seeing the presence of Manta makes Bowo clucked annoyed. He hates handsome men.

"Curtain! Without you help, the cave can survive!"

Krak .. kraaak .

The bald man got up, then straightened the position of the bone that shifted due to a hard impact with the bumper of Mahari's car. He just doesn't want to lose to this guy.

"Gua thought you were dead" said Manta flatly. "Sometimes the cave forgets that only age can kill you."

"Lu blind?! Though the cave was deliberately waiting for him to attack to give counter attack, but you instead came and cut the hand was a creature. Hmh! No exclamation! Should've won easy, eh even so hard because of you."

Seeing that friendship made Yasa smile. He recovers using one of his spells, then stands in line with Manta and Bowo. The boy attached his index and middle fingers, then pointed them towards Buto Geni.

"Let's finish him off" Yasa said.

Bowo shifted focus from Manta towards the recovering Buto Geni. The bald man's spirit was again burning, visible from the grin on his face.

"We're coup the King's palace!" exciting Bowo.

Manta has no words like his two comrades. He was just silent while grasping the Bengisura sword.

Of course seeing the three of them unite made Mahari smile thinly. It seemed like for a long time he had never seen a Tantric triad combination.

"Defeat the giant!" it was screaming from inside the car. "The cave won't go forward because this is a test for the three of you! Understand?!"

"Goodbye, Boss!" reply Yasa.

"Dissapper!" sahut Bowo's.

While Manta is just silent not chiming. I don't know what's inside his head.

"You humans underestimate me too much!" shout Buto Geni with a tone full of anger. He roared like a starving beast.

Manta lowered his body position and widened the horses to be ready to lunge with his Bengisura. Bowo gathered a large scale atma in his right hand to finish off the giant before him. While Yasa was still pointing at Buto Geni with his two fingers stuck together, the boy's mouth was preparing to cast a destructive spell.

The roar of Buto Geni made the surrounding tree branches burn. The giant ran towards them. His hair turned into a blazing fire and every piece of soil he inched melted due to the high temperature.

However, the three young men before him were not at all intimidated with fear. Just like Buto Geni, they are ready to serve.

Mahari gets out of his car with a great effort that leaves him bathed in sweat. He looked up at Buto Geni with his sharp eyes and gasping for breath while pointing towards the creature.

"FORWARD!" he shouted at all three of his prisoners.
