The Javanese Land Swordsman
First Mission

During the day, just some time after Bima finished his match practice with Laras. The teenage boy sat on the bed thinking anxiously about something.

“So all this time you saw it?”

'Yes, I've always seen all your progress.'

“Yang is right..! although demit, but you are still a woman!” Bima stood up while shouting loudly in the room.

'Don't think too much! anyway it's already gone, by the way yours-'

“Whispering.!” Bima sat back slowly while holding her head, “where maybe I did not think about it.”.

Their room was suddenly silent for a moment. Nyi Blorong started the conversation.

'If it's even that surprising, doesn't that mean you don't know me at all?'

“Better not to know at all.”

'Here you go, stop that childish nature of yours.”

“Hhaahh..” Bima breathed a tired breath. There is no other choice but to accept it. They have to understand each other, he thought.

“So, what should I do to get to know you better?”

'First, read about me on the internet!'

“Although ghosts, you understand this too.”

'Of course, I've been living side by side with humans for a long time.'

Bima opens the phone and finds out about the identity of Nyi Blorong. He reads the writing on the web to gather information.

It is written that Nyi Blorong was a daughter of the ruler of the South Sea. She was the embodiment of a very beautiful woman with a snake body from the waist down.

Bima continues to read Nyi Blorong's origins further on the internet. A few minutes later, he dropped his phone. Bima stared dumbstruck not dumbass.

'What's up?' ask Blorong.

“Hoy.. oy..! That was serious?”

'Of course.'

“So you did it? You ever do that?”

'That's.'

“THE TRUTH IS.!” Bima shouted until her voice sounded from outside.

'Absolutely wrong?'

“Mestilah.. Don't pretend to be stupid..! How could you do that every Friday night with your users!” Bima forced her speech with a little embarrassment.

'And it is my duty to seduce humans, after all equally fortunate.'

“And don't tell me I have..” Bima is still hesitant to say profanity. Because even though she is a ghost, she still considers Blorong as a woman.

'Quiet, just seeing you is enough for me, especially such a ritual is just for the rest.'

“If the issue of tumbal?” bima asked with a bit of worry.

'Same with the tumbals.'

“Hah..thank God, I thought you were using my family as a collision,” Bima's heart and lungs were back to operating normally.

“Then, exactly what is your goal?”

Blorong did not answer.

“Halo.. Nyai..?

'Ah.yeah, sorry I was thinking something.'

“Don't be dumbass entar possessed..” Bima just realized that the one being spoken to was a demit. So it is impossible for a demite to be possessed.

'Ha? Being possessed?'

“Nothing,.. I just want to make sure what your real destination is?”

'Ah that.I was only told by my mother, at first I refused because basically I am the enemy of man.'

“So why did you accept it?”

'In the end I thought, if humans go extinct, then I can't bother them anymore.'

“Only that?”

'Yes, that's it.'

“Well whatever, the important thing is you can help me to finish all this.”

'Yes, of course sir, I will.'

“I'm glad you're willing, but please don't call me master! That's a little embarrassing.”

'What? Your body is stout, your age is enough, but still shy.'

“Whispering!”

In the end Bima accepted this situation. Because he himself cannot escape either.

After talking to Blorong, As usual afternoon Bima read the book primbon kejawen.

Because there is a demit in the body, Bima no longer need to perform rituals to get the study contained in the book. He just needs to control that power.

Nyi Blorong also helped Bima learn. He explained the words that the young man did not understand.

Until then, small stars replaced the Sun in the sky.

“Now it's your turn, Bima!” kresna said behind the door of Bima's room

“you mean?”

“follow with me?”

A loud chirping bird circled the palace palace. Then down the bird to the ground, until it is clear the size of the animal is as big as a human.

Prabu Hamengkubuwono out followed by the servants. He approached the bird that looked tame in front of him.

“What is that cage? So big?”

Bima who came with Krishna immediately gawked at him.

“That's the Garuda Bird, the figure of a demigod who descended directly from the kahyangan, and then became the pet of the king,” answered Krishna.

“So that half-god position allowed him to interfere in human affairs?”

“Then it.. I'm not sure.”

Although the eyes that saw no one understood, but they knew that the king was talking to Garuda.

After completion of communication, Prabu Hamengkubuwono said :

“Other Patih are not there, therefore this problem I entrust to you remaining.”

“With all the soul, Prabu.!” the courtiers answered in unison.

“The place is right in the west, there is a fairly large river with dense forest around, follow the coast of the river to clean!”

“Create, sir.!”

Garuda flew back into the sky, while the prabu re-entered his residence. At the same time, the servants were busy preparing for the departure.

“You're not coming, Krishna?” ask Bima.

“Can't, I have to take care of the royal family, will be critical if anything happens here.”

“So yes.”

On the other hand, a servant woman was tugging the woman who was forcing her way.

“You stay Laras, Let the men handle this!”

“No, I also have to go!” Laras tried to take off the servant's grip.

“Don't go! You are a girl, look..! all there is is a man.”

“I don't care, after all they won't mess with me.”

“Still can not,” the waiter is still reluctant to allow Laras.

“Two of you, relax.!” Krishna approached the two of them followed by Bima.

After a brief conversation with Krishna, Laras was finally allowed to join the battle.

About sixty people set out towards the place said. They got there in a closed pickup truck at the back, which also had two long chairs facing in it.

One of the cars was filled with only five people; the driver and his companion, as well as three passengers in the back.

The three passengers were Bima, Irwan, and Laras.

“Only three?” bima who sat next to Irwan.

“Of course, if a lot of people it will be awkward for him,” whispered Irwan as he glanced at Laras who was sitting far away in another chair.

“True also.”

After that short word, the atmosphere was silent. Only the sound of the car was heard inside.

This feels very awkward for Bima. He immediately thought of the conversation. Until I found a topic.

“Hey Irwan..! What exactly are we going to fight? judging from the preparation, this is different from before.”

“Good question, listen carefully!”

Laras turned his head and began to be interested in the conversation of the two of them.

Irwan explained that there are three types of demits that will be fought. First a normal demit, unable to think and moving slowly.

Both abnormal demits. They also could not think, but his movements were quite fast and wild.

Third mid-level demit. The earliest level for a demit who could think, his strength was clearly more powerful than the previous one.

“Is there another type of demit?” ask Bima.

“There, but for now just prepare your mentality!”

Bima also realized, what he would face was a battle or it could be said to be war. Life is a bet here.

“Haahh.”

He gripped both hands over his thighs as a form of self-stabilizing.

Irwan said again :

“Not all demons possess humans, they sometimes only resemble.but if they manage to fully possess, do not hesitate to kill him!”

“Ap-”

Cciiit...

The car they were riding stopped. No more vehicle noise, which means they've arrived.

Before getting out of the car, Irwan reaffirmed, “Remember my words earlier!”
