The Javanese Land Swordsman
Persistence

Crick..

The sounds of insects were mutual in the dark forest. Coupled with the rumbling of running water, making the night atmosphere feel gripping.

Not knowing the exact location, the servants decided to split in two directions, North and South.

Bima, Irwan, and Laras got rations to explore the South.

“That's it!” whispered one who was in the front line.

Hearing that, they immediately stood by while looking ahead. From behind the trees and leaves look many humans with creepy bodies.

“Not wrong again.”

One waved, hinting to form a wide position.

They immediately moved cautiously among the darkness of the forest. And the attack signal was finally fired.

Battle began. Although outnumbered, but the royal army is currently dominating the situation.

Currently, there are only normal types of demits. So it's very easy to finish. In fact, for beginners like Bima.

String..

Each slash cut through the slow demit's body, until its body parts decomposed into the air.

'Weird, why is it that only the normal kind comes out?' Everyone who fought in this place must have thought so.

From earlier what appeared was only the lowest-leveled demit. This feels strange to them.

“Hey Bima..! Come with me!” Irwan took the initiative. He separated from the other forces with Bima.

The knowing barrel, quietly followed the two of them.

A few moments later abnormal demons began to appear. One of them suddenly appeared and crashed into one of the servants.

“Everything be careful! they've come.”

The battle became quite fierce. The amount of dedemit keeps growing and decreasing over time. So it was with the servants who began to receive injuries.

At the same time Irwan and Bima, followed by Laras barged into the south. By keeping up with the flow of river water, they moved while eliminating the demit that was blocking.

Then something quickly hit Bima until she bounced down into the river. Fortunately, the water flowing there could only drown the eyes of the feet.

“Bima!!”

Right now in front of Bima, there was an abnormal demit. His eyes were sharp with a body resembling an inexplicable strange monster.

at first the demon moved slowly with a stiff. Until suddenly he launched a surprise attack on Bima.

Ctangs...

Krr.

Demit's long nails rub against the keris. As well as its lunge made Bima pushed back. They are fighting each other with power.

Knowing Irwan and Laras who want to help, Bima said :

“You go first! I'll fight him.”

“But-”

“Bima..”

“It's okay, I can handle this, you must know something right Irwan!?”

“Alright, let's go!” Irwan sheathed back the keris, then left with Laras.

“You sure Bima will be fine?”

“Ya, definitely... more important, we should be fast.”.

As in the exercise, Bima moves the keris with Lihai. Attacking and continuing to fend off the incoming Demit nails.

“Hyaaa..**!”

Bima exerts an attack pressure on the demit. Then when there was an opportunity, he lunged and made his opponent hit back.

Bima flowed her keris with devotion, making it luminous and enlarged.

Cracks..

Bima's footsteps made a splash of water underneath. With concentration, he ran forward and attacked the demit.

The Demit ferociously greeted him, and continued to grow wild.

As time went on, Bima lost energy. Unlike the demit who can not feel tired, and instead attacked blindly.

In other words, Bima was racing against time. He has to finish this before

“Time to end this, Get out..! Anaconda!”

Two large snake spirit tails came out and immediately shot forward. Rotating for a while, the two snakes reined in the demit's body.

Although it was not trapped completely, but it was enough to hinder its movement.

Jleeb..

The keris went into the body of the demit. The battle ended with the victory of Bima.

'Bima's good work without my direction you can defeat him' Blorong appeared.

“Hhaahh... But it looks like I should learn more.”

The keris light disappeared, Bima again sheathed

'Wait for Bima, the battle is still over'

Bima fell silent and turned to the side of one of the riverbanks. He finally sensed, the figure of numerous creatures was approaching.

'What are you going to do, Bima? Even though they were the lowest tier, they were quite numerous, willing to fight or run?'

Then Bima thought, at this time his friends were also struggling hard. He would be embarrassed to run away when they fought.

“It's clear, isn't it? Battled.”

'I thought you'd say it'

“Come, Nyai Blorong.!”

'For starters I won't help you, but call me if necessary!'

Bima smiled excitedly as she rode on the puddle.

.....

Elsewhere, Irwan and Laras were running in a hurry.

They were on their way to a place that Irwan felt was central, a place where mid-level demits were located.

The reason, because the middle-level demit is a type of demit that can rule. He could organize other demits that were below his level.

However, when the regulatory figure died. Then the normal and abnormal type of dedemit will be chaotic. Like soldiers who lose their morale.

And right now, Irwan and Laras are after him.

“It should be here but..” Irwan walked into a light. There is a kind of offerings with candles around.

“What's up?” ask Laras.

“We're fooled.” Irwan stared at the offerings, then began to look around.

“And we also got problems,” Laras unsheathing keris.

“You're right.”

They look at their backs while getting ready.

Kkwvsnar...

Their fight against the Dedemites began.

The amount of dedemit is not too much, as if they were planned just to measure time.

When Irwan fought softly, he realized something.

“Laras..! immediately go to Bima's place! it will quasasi.”

“You sure?”

“Ya, quickly go!”

“I understand!”

Baras left Irwan.

“Hoy.. Your opponent is me.!” Irwan distracts the demit so that Laras can break through the blur.

Barrel swiftly took the opportunity and ran away. He immediately went to the place where Bima was separated.

He walked along the river. The barrel uses magic on both legs. When you touch the water, it will go further and faster.

It does not take long Baras can find Bima. At this time, the man was seen being ganged up by a mob of dedemits.

“Hyyaahh.”

“You all right?” tanyakanya.

“Yes, no big deal. but why are you here?” Bima was panting, but she still held onto the keris toughly.

“There is no time for pleasantries, we have to finish this!”

“Ya.”

They also move at the same time. The normal-type demits were not a problem, but their numbers were a little troublesome.

Equipping each other, they fight and protect each other. The Bima and Laras movements sympathize very well.

Until then came two abnormal-type demits with surprise attacks. They rushed into the crowd.

Bima and Laras jumped in different directions to dodge. They came out of the pack of the dedemites.

“Anaconda!” Bima pointed one of the palms forward and took out a snake spirit that was bigger than before.

The snake moved around the gathered demons. The coils of the snake keep getting smaller over time.

For some reason, the demits could not fly in the scope of the snake circle. They try to climb and fall. However, it will not last long.

At the same time, Laras had already prepared his bow with an arrow that was heading towards the sky.

“Enter problems and bring down heavy rain!”

The arrow shot into the sky and disappeared. And the arrow that rained down upon the Dedemites.

The smoke that covered the view. However, two abnormal demits were seen still standing inside.

“Then, we try this..” Barrel pulls a more luminous and larger arrow, “...Ardadedali!”

Jluubian..

The two demits were pierced with one arrow that was quite long.

Bima and Laras walk close together.

“Isn't that the arrow that time.?” ask Bima.

“Iya, this. a-oh.”

“What's up? You hurt..!? Turns out it's a tough move huh, you better not force yourself.”

Bima looked at him seriously. Hands Barrels from the elbows down are reddish in color.

“What hurts? Can you still move your hand?”

“Slightly, my forearm feels limp and my wrist is numb.”

“I don't really understand the treatment, but hopefully this helps,” Bima takes a roll and bandages the wound Late with a white cloth.

The face of Laras flushed. Because up until now, she had never been this close to a man.

Bima also tightly wrapped the lower arm. Not forgetting he cast a healing spell.

“OK, done,” Bima re-enforce body. He saw Laras whose face was still down, “still hurt?”

“Ah.. no, already feels light,” Laras stare with hesitation, “...Te-thanks.”

“Sama-sama,” a high sense of humanity made Bima not feel any oddity in the behavior of Baras.

A flash of white light struck in the forest west of the river.

“It looks like that's where it is,” Bima looked seriously at the place.

“Don't go there! You alone will not be able to.”

“There is no other choice, other people are currently fighting when we are silent.”

“Alright, I'm coming!”

“No need, no worries! This time I will fight with Blorong,” on Bima's body out female figure.

“Who is worried too.?” Laras said softly until inaudible.

“Then, I go.!”

Bima immediately ran into the western forest. He moved according to the direction of Nyi Blorong.

'Until here just be straight, but be careful they're approaching'

While grasping tightly keris, Bima continued to step foot quickly.

Then the dedemites began to show themselves. This time there was one abnormal demit with several normal demits.

Nyi Blorong is very helpful in times like these. Because he was guarding the attacking demit from behind. Bima no longer need to worry about his back.

Bima fought fiercely with abnormal demits. On the other hand, Nyi Blorong used her magic. He attacked another demit who tried to interfere.

Bima's focus was on the demit figure before him. While Nyi Blorong was busy taking care of the bully dwarves.

They were also caught off guard. The other abnormal demite figures lunged at the point of their horse.

'Celaka'

“No will get.”

Prancing...

The Milky Way was pierced by demits from several sides.

“Adu-du-duh, ... Wwhhaaa.!” Bima was startled and rolled away from the pile of dedemits, “viewed from near them terrible too, .... but I was not hurt?”

Bima looked at his body which only got a small scratch in some places.

'Look at them!'

These days the dedemites have no power. Their usually long fingernails also disappeared.

“Maybe...?”

'Yes, that's the only possibility'

“Hhwaaaa.!” there was a scream accompanied by a flash of light.

“Do-don't.?”

Bima immediately ran to the source of the sound.

There was a young woman who seemed to be crawling in pain. His body was quite terrifying with a paled color.

“Hey... Are you okay?” ask Bima.

The woman slowly stood up. Step by step he approached Bima.

“A-I can't take it anymore, kill..! kill me! please..kill me!”

“But..” began to appear doubts on Bima. Because the human figure that is seen can still be saved, he did not have the heart to do it.”

“Kvahh.. Ce-quickly kill someone. I...” The woman continued to walk closer to the situation as if on the threshold.

'Bad, Bima quickly attack him!'

“Ti-can't,” Milky vibrate. He thought the woman could still be healed.

When the woman was close enough, she jumped and lunged at Bima who was off guard.

At that time the mind of Bima was empty. He thought of nothing else

Craakk..

A keris-shaped light struck and threw the possessed woman aside.

Bima looked to the other side. He looked at Laras who was standing panting on the trunk of a tree.

“Laras? Why are you here,” Bima immediately approached Laras.

“Hiih.. Is that a proper word for the person who saved you?”

“Aahh if it is. Thank you, but he...”.

“You fool! that person is already completely possessed, he is deceiving you.”

“So yes, ... Can you still walk?”

“Iya, just relax.”

Looking at Laras who looks troubled, Bima said, “want me to help?”

“Aahh... ti-no! no need,” just think about it already makes Laras embarrassed.

They walked slowly to the east where the river flowed. From a distance there was someone waving their hands, Irwan.

“Hoy... Milky..! Barrels..! You guys are okay!?” his yell.

“Yes, nothing to worry about!” Answer Bima.

Tonight a lot of the dedemites died. Some of them managed to escape.

On the human side, they only suffered injuries. Whether it's a heavy, or a minor injury.
