The Fighter
Chapter 111 The Pillar of Fire
Cokro Negoro threw an attack with a symbol made in his hand, to inhibit Jalak Geni from reaching the identity stone formation. But it was easy for the owner of the Horde to fend it off. Jalak Geni's feet quickly rested on a rock and quickly jumped up. Cokro Negoro continued to pursue, and he increased his inner strength to surpass Jalak Geni. The other elders immediately formed a circle by sitting cross-legged, they exerted all of their strength for him to channel into the body of the Cokro Negoro.
"We won't be that easy to let you reach that formation Jalak Geni..," cried Cokro Negoro. The old man quickly combined the power that the elders were flowing through, and formed a colorful ring of fire. Some time, the circle of fire continued to be left.., and after estimating the circle of fire had matured.
"Blummm.., bluarrr.." The ring of fire was like a long funnel thrown towards Jalak Geni. The embers of fire resembled pillars soaring high in the sky, and were seen from afar like pillars that pierced through the sky. Hot air enveloped the region, trees within a three kilometer radius that stirred up the excitement of everyone who saw it. As Jalak Geni was about to jump, a whip of fire fuel was whistled into the feet of the leader of the Alap Horde, so that his steps became obstructed.
"Protect yourself with inner strength." cried Brown Negoro to the elders. Quickly, the elders and the people who were there, followed what was ordered by Cokro Negoro.
"Bang.., bang,.., bang,.." successive attacks slid towards the elders. They were suddenly looking for where the attack came from, seen some Klan leaders who had joined Jalak Geni sent an attack for them. The concentration of the elders was split, between providing strength support to the Cokro Negoro, and also fending off the attacks from the Clan leaders.
Wijanarko and some people immediately confronted and resisted the attacks from the Clan leaders. Seeing in terms of strength, they were outnumbered so that Wijanarko was overwhelmed to dispel the attack. Jalak Geni had a chance to escape, quickly the robed man landed his feet on the identity stone formation.
"You will not be able to prevent me Cokro.., I am destined to be the ruler of this world. Ha.., ha.., ha.." cried Jalak Geni full of arrogance. Suddenly the sky seemed to split from above, and in front of their eyes they saw a tunnel hole surrounded by air that swirled tightly.
"Aaaaaaww.." there was an ape cry, and without anyone expecting it.., Jalak Geni was sucked into the tunnel pit.
"Let's follow my brother Jalak Geni." Cokro Negoro shouted to the other elders. Quickly the six elders jumped in following the Cokro Negoro into the tunnel. Just as people jumped inside, the tunnel suddenly closed itself. The atmosphere became quiet, Wijanarko and the people from the Clan leaders, instantly halting their attacks. All set their gazes towards the array of identity stone formations within the Candradimuka Dome. Fire vapor is still visible in the dome, but the fire that had occurred is no longer there.
"Where is the direction of the tunnel, we can't catch up to the elders?" Wijanarko asked Atmojo and Jagasetra.
"I've never heard of Master's story about the tunnel. We can only wait until this tunnel opens again.." Jagasetra responded to Wijanarko's words. Atmojo could only shake his head. From the outside, Maharani and Niken Kinanthi looked breathlessly running towards the place.
"What happened Kakang.., from a radius of a millimeter from this place there was a great shock like an earthquake. The hot steam that destroyed the trees was also very ferociously crashing." Niken asked Wijanarko.

On the edge of the woods..
"What is Wisanggeni.., what pillar of fire have we just seen?" shouted Sudiro asked Wisanggeni.
"I can't explain it yet Diro.. We'll have to wait a little while until the hot steam stops delivering the heat wave. Look around us, the trees that are exposed to hot steam bursts immediately become dry tree trunks." exclaimed Wisanggeni asked everyone to hold back,.
If you do not bring a lot of people with him, Wisanggeni and Rengganis can penetrate the hot steam waves. But they could not allow the people who came with him to suffer a terrible fate. So that by taking shelter under the veil, it will help to save themselves and not be affected by the heat vapor waves.
Some people who are inside the veil, then sit cross-legged to regulate their breathing. Sudiro watches over the people who come with him. Seeing all of them in a fine state, the man took a sigh of relief. Not long after, Sudiro joined them, regulating his breathing.
"You're okay Nimas..? I'm sorry, without speaking directly pulled you quickly." Wisanggeni asked Rengganis.
"No Akang.., Rengganis is fine. But.., the head of Rengganis slightly dizzy and suddenly become nauseous want to vomit" said Rengganis.
Hearing his wife's words, Wisanggeni then invited Rengganis to sit down. Unasked, the young man massaged his wife's head slowly.
"We'll wait here for a while Nimas. We will not sacrifice those who come with us. Our intention to join is one, so that we can realize peace on this earth." Wisanggeni asked his wife's understanding to wait a little.
"Yes Akang.., Rengganis understood what was on Akang's mind. We cannot be selfish, just to think of our own interests. These people are also our responsibility." Rengganis agreed with Wisanggeni's thinking.
Seeing his wife's willingness to share with the people who are here, makes Wisanggeni smile. This man was a little regretful, having previously left this young woman in a lull. It turns out the presence of his wife in the journey, can be a place to share problems that arise.
"Sleep first Nimas.., so that your dizziness soon disappears. In about two hours.., we will continue the journey to get into the forest. We wait until the embers are blown by the wind." Wisanggeni held the head of Rengganis, after giving him a kiss on the forehead, the man placed the head of Rengganis on his lap. The man then leaned his body against a large rock behind him.
