The Javanese Land Swordsman
Sawah Waiter
“Truly want to go now? It's still not three hours..!” Yoshida Sano stands at the entrance.
“Iya, thanks for the kindness, Sano-san,” Wira and the others bowed.
“No problem, if you need any more help just tell me!”
“Send our regards to kaede.”
“Of course, Kaede may still sleep now.”
“Then, we excuse you.”
“Ya, be careful!”
They boarded the car and left the Yoshida family home. Down the hill, then up to a more crowded street.
“You're really better, Bima?” ask Wira.
“That's... I just feel tired, because it feels like I'm not sleeping at all... Fatim? Is he okay to get up so early in the morning?”
“No problem, Fatim is often trained to wake up like this when in the palace... Then, what really happened to you?”
Bima told me everything. Starting from the meeting with great figures and the descent of Prabu Jayabaya. Not to forget the most important, the clash with three Sudra demits at once.
“Killing his own friend?”
“Yes, either there is a certain motive or just pleasure only. I do not understand.”.
“But, you're really okay, right? Fighting with three demits directly like that, is very dangerous.”
“At first I thought so.. Maybe because of the blessing of Prabu Jayabaya a strange power appeared and saved me.”
“Thank God then... That means it can be said, Prabu Jayabaya and his two patih are allies... This will benefit us, let alone rumors saying that he is the incarnation of Lord Vishnu as well.”
“But shouldn't the gods no longer be able to deal with the human world?”
“Entah, who knows with the world of the gods?”
“The more here, the more complicated.”
Crick.. Crickets are the sounds of insects that are common in the countryside.
“Hhhmm is it quiet?” mummified Bima.
“Because, the feeling just now a lot of cars passing by,” Laras also saw it from the window.
“Of course, we have entered the rice fields that are said to be haunted at night, not many people pass here,” explained Wira.
“Are you scared, Fatim?” ask Laras.
“No, I'm used to Princess Genowati.. So it must be fine.”
“Siplah..”.
The car finally pulled over. They also came down from there.
“Crazy..! Nothing at all except rice and light at the end there, Bima” overlooks the vastness of the rice fields.
“Sini Fatim, let Romo carry!”
“Not..! I'm not a kid anymore Romo.”
“Hehe.. Romo understand.”
The atmosphere of the night at that time was very bright. Half moonlight and the glittering stars dotted the sky. As if expecting something, Laras saw in that sight.
“Start from here, we will walk through the rice field embankment.. Come follow me.!” The heroes lead their way. While Bima chose to walk the very back.
A road in the form of a mound of land. Separate each existing rice field. And overgrown with green weeds. They walked over it quite casually.
“Be careful..the road is getting slippery.” Not long ago Wira said that...
“Uuaaahh.” Barrel almost fell. He was successfully reached by Bima's hand. Such a state can be said to be a hug. The warmth of each other's bodies, made them nervous.
“Ah.. Sorry,” Bima raised Baras body and immediately took it off.
“A-I also.”
Until they arrived at an old well. Algae plants fill the sidelines of the wall. Next to it was a stone ruin.
“No bucket, how do we keep taking it?” Bima looked at the well that did not look at the end of it.
“Give me, you guys step back a little!” The hero forms a sign with both hands. His mouth was muttering something. After which, he exerted both of his palms into the well with a strong feeling.
Jluor...
Vibration came from below. Then a bunch of water looks up. A small fountain was born.
“Wwoooaahh.!” the trivial miracle amazed others. Then they alternately use the springs.
'Lost one more, then you can easily talk and call me' Nyi Blorong said.
“Calling? What do you mean I can call you separately?”
'Yes, it would be beneficial if you already knew your true strength'
“She said haunted.. But nothing happened,” Laras set one of his feet on the rock while looking around.
Bima approached him, “do not hoist such marker flags.. Could have been later.”
“Eh.?”
“I haven't even finished my sentence,” Bima and the others are trying to maintain balance.
It then emerged from under the hordes of heaven-defying spirits swarming over them. Unlike the usual demits, they appear to be clean from Ashura's curse. But-but
“Hihihi..!”
“Wwwooo..” The spirits still intend to attack them.
“Uhk.. Uhk.” Bima coughed until he fell to the ground. The energy within him had not completely recovered.
“Do not force yourself, Bima! Leave it to us!” Barrel patted his shoulders.
“Laras, focus on protecting Bima and Fatim!” said Wira while calling the spear Tunggulnaga.
“Stay near me, Fatim!” Then Laras took out the arrow of Hrusangkala.
“Hhaahh.. Sorry Barrel.!”
“It's okay, after all I don't think they're too strong.”
The long-range attacks of the spirits were fended off by spears. Alternately, Wira served his opponent with very fast movements. Each swing knocked out two or even three creatures.
The barrel stands between Bima and Fatim. Can't move freely. He looked depressed from having to protect while fighting.
“Bring them away from here, Laras.!” Patih Wira intends to be the bait.
Laras believes in the power of the coach. Therefore he agreed, “Peganlah.!”
“Eh? Ma-?”
The barrel holds his arrow. Then the right hand holds Bima's body, while the left hand holds Fatim. While carrying them, he jumped out of the crowd of spirits. At first the spirits chased...
“It ... ouch! Slowly dong.. I almost fell into the rice field,” Bima sprawled facing Laras.
“They are not chasing.?” muttered Laras while slowly lowering Fatim.
“I also thought of that. earlier there was a barrier that lit up as they approached... ” Bima crouched staring at Wira who was dredged with dedemit.
“Could I have.!” Baras was on standby as he walked slowly forward. No spirit attacked him. Then when anyone tried to jump an explosion appeared and revealed a broad, round-shaped protector.
Laras also shouted, “Uncle Wira...! Come here.. Get out of their barrier range!”
“OK.. I will be there soon,” momentarily opens the way, and get rid of the dedemites. The hero ran towards Laras.
“Please... Please.!”
“Release us.!” the sound of the spirit twitching makes for a creepy song.
“Actually these are why Uncle?” ask Laras.
“I don't know, but obviously they are different from the demits we know, I'll try to talk to them.”
“Will it work?”
“Entaihah, but this is worth a try.”
The hero stuck a spear into the ground. Stand up straight and say :
“If you have any awareness, try to answer my question! Why are you here?”
Doom..! Doom..! an explosive energy thumped the spirits apart and crashed into the protective wall. Then a more sinister creature walked over. He was an old geezer in tattered camping clothes and a half skull face.
“Are you guys going to free us?” said it.
“Depending on the situation, we might be able to do something,” Wira is lying for good. He had no plans to release them.
“Then listen to this... One month ago I had an accident, then I was in spirit form... Someone forced myself into this place... Here I met other spirits who were also locked up by that person... The mysterious person continued to bring the spirits of the dead here.. Not to forget, he always told 'you're safe here' on every spirit, but isn't our place not here?” clearly the spirit of an old grandfather.
“I get it now, do grandfather know how the characteristics of the figure are?” ask Wira.
“I don't know... Though often see it, but somehow I can not remember it. The others also so.”.
“Sorry kek, it looks like we can't free you either... That person is right, you guys are safer to be here.”
“Why can you say that!? See they are a lot of crazy for being locked up for a long time here.!”
Then Wira explained about the soft-eating spirits of the dead. No one will be able to ascend into the sky because they will always be up there.
“Is it that bad? Then what about all of us..? And what about you guys later.!?”
“We will stop all this.. So wait..! One day you will we release,” Wira walks into the barrier. But this time no one dared to attack. Spirits of young children, teenagers, old, both men and women see the Hero with eyes of hope accompanied by anxiety.
“Are we going to be okay?” the spirit of the little girl tugged at the clothes of the Hero.
“Of course, all this will be over soon.. And you're going to go where you should be,” and then the hero walks out. He hinted at the others to get back in the car.
“Is the place really safe?” ask Laras.
“Yes, I feel it.. Sukma mode will not be used there.. Which means pure dedemite cannot penetrate it... The rest, look back...! Does Laras see them?”
Barrel looks back, “Nothing? They disappeared?”
“I don't know who is behind this... But he must be a very powerful man.”
