The Fighter
Chapter 107 Forest
Waves of orange-black hot steam appeared to come out from the sides of the identity stone formation that had been arranged by the Alap-alap Hordes. The identity stone that was originally only the size of a child's hand grip, was currently turned into a large stone. The stone cavities are intertwined and form a key, so that it becomes a solid form. A shadow of a cloaked old man flew over and stopped above the array of identity stone formations.
"I will soon rule the martial world. If the keys of the divine spirits could be opened, they would run out and be absorbed into my body. In a moment's time, that time will come.The world will be within my grasp." The corner of the robed man's lips curved upwards.
One hand went into the hot steam next to the rocks. Not long after, the man pulled his hand back out. After looking around for a while, he put the palm of his hand into the hood of his face and then he licked the hand. But suddenly the man's eyes narrowed.., and no one expected, his hands were pointed to the back of his body.
"Duarr..., aaaawww.." a long, heart-wrenching howling sound emerged from behind his body.
One jump, the cloaked man was already in front of the person in pain. The person's tongue is stretched out, with a chain of coals surrounding his neck.
"How dare it be without my permission., you are around me. Accept the consequences of your actions. ha.., ha.., ha.." cried the robed man with a laugh.
"Paduka.., forgive my dear friend. He was a new boy.., just yesterday morning my Master was brought here." a man ran to ask for forgiveness for his friend.
"Who is your teacher.., call him here!" the robed man asked the man to bring in his teacher.
"Please forgive me, my lord..! After delivering this friend of mine, Master had already left this morning to find more people. I beg you, my friend. Set him free, and give him a chance to learn what he can and cannot do in this forest." the man continued to love, he asked for forgiveness for his friend.
"Swooshh.., blarr.." as soon as the robed male's index finger was directed, the chain of embers tightly bound the neck of the sick person and finally exploded.
With wide eyes in disbelief, the man who asked for forgiveness for his friend just closed his mouth. His body shivered in fear seeing the ruthless person he was following right now.
"Remember my name Jalak Geni..! Don't call me that, if I give mercy to those who dare to interfere in my affairs." said the robed man, who immediately flew away from the place.
Some people immediately ran out to their friends who still looked frightened, saw the cruelty of the behavior of this last person they adored and followed.
"Go back to where you started, don't mind your friends. He was dead, and his spirit had joined the other spirits in the dome." the men immediately took the frightened man away.

Just as Rengganis took a sip of lemongrass ginger from his cup, he suddenly heard that someone was talking about a chaotic incident.
"How did you get here so fast?" ask someone across the table where Rengganis is drinking.
"I and a few other villagers were fortunately helped and rescued by a very handsome young man. Even the man was alone, daring to pursue the leader of the people who destroyed the villages and also the silat colleges in this region." the person asked gave an answer.
"Who fights and helps us if not wrong led Sudiro. Then the handsome man who was chasing Tumbak Seto named Wisanggeni." hearing the last sentence spoken by the man, Rengganis' heart was like being plucked from his chest cavity. The woman still remembered clearly, how she had to be separated long with her lover at that time, which was caused by a fight between Wisanggeni and Tumbak Seto.
Rengganis is no longer able to control his heart and mind. The young woman immediately gulped down, the drink she had ordered. As the Rengganis stood up, the people sitting across from his desk spoke again. After taking a deep breath then exhaling out, Rengganis again tried to sit down.
"Where did you come from Ki Sanak yesterday..? I'm leaving for the west, because I heard the news that some areas are in chaos. I'll try to avoid it." Suddenly someone else asked the man.
"From the southwestern Ki Sanak region. But the group of people who gave us help, they turned south-east." the man answered the man's question.
"I have to catch up with Kang Wisang soon.. As the man said, I'll search the southeast." Rengganis thinks to himself. The young woman then stood up and left the money in front of her seller without speaking.
"Nimas.., please wait a minute! I'll get you change." The seller asked Rengganis to wait.
"No need.., just take the change for your son." Rengganis hurriedly walked out of the stall. Its beauty is very stunning and attracts the attention of people who visit the stall.
"Thank you, generous Nimas. May all your wishes be fulfilled, and always be protected wherever Nimas is." the seller said a prayer sentence to Rengganis, but the young woman was already outside the shop.
Arriving outside, the Rengganis did not want to wait any longer. The young woman flicked the purple scarf in her hand, and in an instant the woman had already disappeared from that place.

"Wisang..., where do we go next..?" Sudiro, who had rejoined Wisanggeni, asked Mahesa's youngest son. He followed Wisanggeni sitting on the dry wooden hunk that was there.
"We're going into the woods there. My feeling is that what we're looking for is in the woods. Although I don't know yet, what we're really looking for." Wisanggeni pointed at the forest that was in front of him.
Sudiro looked in the direction indicated by Wisanggeni, then the man nodded his head.
"But we must rest first Diro .., pity the people you bring. Tomorrow morning we will continue our journey again." seeing the people who followed them like fatigue, Wisanggeni proposed that they rest first for a while.
"All right, Wisang.., I'll tell them immediately." Sudiro then walked away from Wisanggeni. The brother of Niken Kinanthi's cousin immediately told people to take a break.
