The Fighter
Chapter 112 Berembug
A while Wisanggeni and his group members fell silent, and after seeing the heat vapor wave had stopped, the man stopped the protective veil he had already formed. A moment of hot wind blew towards their bodies, and soon those people fortified their respective bodies with the demonic aura they had.
"Is it not dangerous Wisang.., if we continue the journey to get into the forest. Even though the green forest is no longer there, I want to know immediately how our brothers are in there." Sudiro walked over to Wisanggeni.
"We will try together Diro.., but tell our members. For those who feel doubtful, or dare not, I suggest that they go back and look for the nearest village. Because.., if there was even the slightest bit of doubt in their hearts, this trip would fail." Wisanggeni gave information to Sudiro.
"Well Wisang.., I will pass this information on to them first. Wait first..!" when Sudiro left Wisanggeni, the young man came to his wife who was sipping water. Rengganis held out a bottle of drink, and the man then took it. After drinking a few sips, Wisanggeni returned the bottle to Rengganis.
"Nimas.., prepare. We will soon enter the burning forest. Strengthen yourselves!" Wisanggeni invites Rengganis to prepare.
"Rengganis is ready Akang. Let's join them soon." Rengganis directed his gaze at Sudiro and the people who were already preparing behind him.
Wisanggeni immediately grabbed the hand of Rengganis, then took his wife to meet Sudiro and all the members of his group.
"Wisang.., it turns out that all our members are willing to go deeper into the forest. No one wants to go back to find the nearest village." Sudiro reported the results of his conversation with those people.
"Well, if that's your wish. Let's start to leave.." Wisanggeni led them by walking in front of himself while holding Rengganis. Sudiro waits after all the members of the group walk, the man takes over the task of Wisanggeni who usually escorts the group from behind.
The more the group went inside, a slick and concerned look appeared in their eyes. The forest is usually green, with many plants and animals in it. At the moment the conditions turned into a dead forest, with smoke and flames still appearing to be burning in some places. Carefully they walk, supporting each other with each other.
From the southeast, Wisanggeni's eyes shone seeing the arrival of Lindhuaji and some people behind him. Lindhuaji went straight to Wisanggeni who seemed to stop waiting for him.
"Kang Aji..., how are you Kang..?" they asked each other questions by hugging each other.
"Four of my members were killed Dimas.., after fighting together, we finally got to this place safely." Lindhuaji answered Wisanggeni's question.
"The grieving Kakang. But there is no need to think about it anymore, because no one can refuse from the will of destiny. Let's just continue our journey inside Kakang." Wisanggeni immediately invited Lindhuaji and his entourage to join together to enter the forest.

"Kang Janar.." in a slow voice, Wisanggeni called his brother who seemed to be sitting on the edge of the dome. His eyes stared into the dome of Candradimuka, which was no longer a hot steam upheaval in it.
Hearing Wisanggeni's call, Ki Mahesa and Rayi Ratri's eldest son turned his head and looked towards the source of the voice. There was a ray of happiness in Wijanarko's eyes, seeing his two younger brothers come in good health and safety. Seeing the whereabouts of Rengganis there, Wijanarko only smiled bitterly. Suddenly he remembered his wife Kinara, only five days after they were married but they had to part because of this heavy duty. But quickly, the man regained control of himself.
"What should we do now, Janar? The elders none of them were here. While we must take responsibility for the members of our group." Lindhuaji asked Wijanarko when he did not see the presence of the elders in that place.
"The elders chasing Jalak Geni entered the tunnel formed under the pillar of fire. When the identity stones of the various Clans were put together inside the Candradimuka Dome, it turned out to have an impact on the appearance of the tunnel." Wijanarko later recounted, from the very beginning they found the Candradimuka Dome, and told him who Jalak Geni was.
"But why the pillar of fire can be formed Kang Janar.., even though there are still two identity stones that have not fulfilled the formation. Because one stone of identity is on me, and one stone of the Jagadklana Trah is in the hands of Nimas Rengganis." Wisanggeni asked Wijanarko, and Rengganis nodded her head confirming her husband's remarks.
"I also don't know Rayi.., why it could be like that" said Wijanarko lirih. The atmosphere became quiet again.
"Whatever the number of identity stones is arranged in a formation, then placed in the Candradimuka Dome, if there is pressure on it, it will be able to form a pillar of fire. It was just that the pillar of fire would not be able to inherit the core of the main force that was behind the tunnel. It takes the blood of a dragon to revive the dragon's power." suddenly the voice of the Empress breaks their silence.
"What do you mean Empress?" Wisanggeni asked the snake queen.
"Yes, my lord, the secret of the identity stone is within our ancestors. Your Majesty has now been chosen by the ancestors, and has the blood of snake descendants flowing in your blood. If you want to try, place the two identity stones in the formation in the Candradimuka dome, then the pillar of fire will be re-formed. We can all enter the tunnel to find the elders" said Maharani.
Rengganis turned to her husband's face, then slowly turned her gaze towards the Maharani. The aura of devotion and compassion she found on the Maharani's face, as the girl spoke to her husband. But even though Rengganis did not find the aura of acceptance from her husband's face, finally Ki Sasmita's daughter took a sigh of relief.
"Nimas.., do you agree with what Maharami said? If I agree, then I will agree. But if Nimas disagrees, we'll all go back to the mess. We'll figure out another way, how to free and bring back the elders." Wisanggeni asked for Rengganis' approval.
"As long as you are with Akang.., Rengganis will give up anything." replied Rengganis while leaning his head on Wisanggeni's shoulder. Wisanggeni smiled, gently in front of everyone who was there, a soft kiss on the forehead Rengganis awarded Wisanggeni. Maharani and Niken Kinanthi immediately threw their faces at the intimate scene.
"You always have no feelings for us." The punch on Wisanggeni's back was awarded by Lindhuaji.
