The Treaty of Invisibility
TEMPTING OFFER

Abah Dul stood upright clenching his hands, his eyes glancing in all directions sharply watching his surroundings. I hope someone is responsible for the attack.

But as far as his eyes could see, all he saw was a grove of big trees. There was nothing there, but it was clearly coming from behind him.

Abah Dul turned back his body intending to continue his journey following the crow. However, it was only realized that the crow in front of him was no longer visible.

“Where is the bird? Have I been far behind?” the Inner Abah Dul.

Just one foot stepped, suddenly Abah Dul's ear heard a hissing sound that was so clear from behind him.

“Ssssssshhh... sssshhhh.... ssssshhh...”.

“Snake?!” he muttered, then the reflex Abah Dul turned back his body.

The deg!

Abah Dul's heart stopped beating. At first he saw the body of a snake that stretched as big as an oil drum. The scales are jet black forming a circular pile up to 5 meters high.

The head of the snake that is the same size as his body appears to be stuck upright while dictating Abah Dul by sticking out his branching tongue.

Abah Dul's mouth agape made him see a terrible creature with an unnatural appearance and size in front of him.

He receded three steps back with his head looking up to see the head of the snake that was constantly moving around in a daze following the movements of Abah Dul.

Abah Dul trembled to watch the giant snake before him, his death casting a terrifyingly ugly shadow in his heart.

Shown in the mind of Abah Dul his body will be in the prey in one greedy and into the belly of the giant snake.

“Does my life end here?!” He mumbled a little desperate.

Cold sweat began to pour on Abah Dul's face, his clothes also seemed to be wet with sweat and saw the head of the giant snake protruding without changing its circular position.

The more Abah Dul made a move, the more wildly the giant snake's head moved following him.

At the end of his panic, Abah Dul's consciousness emerged to fight with all his abilities.

His hands were immediately raised straight up, his eyes fixed on the head of the giant snake as his mouth read out a practice.

The next instant, suddenly a dazzling beam of white light appeared at the end of the hand he had raised.

The head of the giant snake was made to fall back while the white light appeared on the tip of Abah Dul's hand by making a very moving hissing sound.

“Sssshhh.... Sjssshhhh.... Sjsshhh.... Ssssshhhh.

Soon the white light at the end of Abah Dul's hand vanished suddenly. And now his hand was clutched by a great sword.

The great sword was none other than the sword of Abu Bakr, a sword embodied in his practice.

After Abu Bakr's sword appeared in his hand, Abah Dul moved darting under the bent body of the snake.

For a moment he looked up at the serpent's head that was careless, then he quickly slashed Abu Bakr's sword with all his might towards the body of the giant snake that was only one reach of his hand.

Swooooss...

The flash of Abu Bakr's sword slashed down heavily onto the body of the giant snake.

Bukkkk..!!!

Abah Dul gasped in surprise instead of being trapped. Both of his eyes widened in disbelief at the sight of Abu Bakr's sword being clasped as it struck the body of a giant snake.

For a moment Abah Dul was stunned to gawk with an incident that was very out of his estimation.

“How can you?!” Abah Dul's troubled mind stood petrified.

All this time there was not a single supernatural being able to withstand the slash of his Abu Bakr sword, let alone to the point of not being able to by his slash.

“Innalillahi wainnailaihi rojiuun!” Pekik Abah Dul.

In Abah Dul's mind, the situation he was facing right now was a disaster. His most reliable magical weapon could not provide any protection.

His mind kept on spinning around looking for a way by what means to fight the giant snake. It was in his mind to use a practice that gave rise to deep energy.

The practice that he had previously prepared in reciting it back. All his hands clenched tightly together after reading the practice.

Then by making a move shift his right foot one step forward to make the horses, immediately Abah Dul thrust his right hand that was filled with power in it forward.

Swooohssahh...

Ioannarrrr...!!!

Instantly a loud bang like a blast echoed and shook Abah Dul's footing standing up. Even Abah Dul's own body was swayed by his vibration as well as pushed back two steps.

Both eyes of Abah Dul back wide for the umpteenth time. He saw the head of the giant snake that he hit with energy in it did not seem to budge.

Precisely on the contrary the head of the giant snake immediately stuck out chasing the body of Abah Dul who was receded backwards.

Abah Dul is in a state of urgency. There was nothing else he could do, he seemed resigned to his current state.

With a heavy breath, Abah Dul closed his eyes slowly. He felt resigned to accept the reality in front of him, while saying;

“Asyhadu ala ilaha illallah, wa’ asyhadu anna muhammadarosullah..”.

Two faintly uttered shahada sentences from his lips simultaneously closed his eyes. Abah Dul waited for what would happen next, his heart had predicted that he would die.

A few seconds waiting, it turns out that nothing happened to him, Abah Dul also slowly opened his eyes again.

The deg!

At that moment, Abah Dul was back. He saw a very beautiful woman standing in front of him. The woman's body was clad in kebaya clothing exactly Javanese custom clothing in ancient times.

The end of his hair is long, on the middle is tied small and tucked into a konde skewer knotted by the ties.

Her waist was tied to a yellow-gold scarf covering part of the brown kepabaya and her top.

His height is the same as the height of Abah Dul, his body looks crazy and very tempting faith. Coupled with her very beautiful and graceful face.

Seeing the woman who suddenly appeared in front of him, Abah Dul just darted back and forth looking for something.

“Kke, kkke kkwhere is that snake?!” muttered Abah Dul stuttered.

As an adult and normal man, seeing a beautiful and beautiful woman in front of his eyes, his lust for maleness rippled.

But quickly Abah Dul threw away his gaze, he turned his gaze to the other side.

“Kang mas. Kang mas will get whatever you want,” The woman's voice sounds smooth but feels shaky.

Abah Dul gasped in shock at the offer. His heart became gamang, was this the way to get the thing that the black-robed man ordered?

There is a struggle inside him. Pros and cons popping into each other's head.

Absent in Abah Dul's mind, if this beautiful woman is a clue that will lead him to the lucky thing.

But the next second, his heart refused that the woman was only part of the temptation.

“Kang mas want what? I'll do it, let's ask me!” The beautiful woman's voice was heard again.

Hearing the sentence of the beautiful woman just now, Abah Dul instantly seemed to be fully aware.

“Ask me!”

“Ask me!”

“Ask me!”

Apparently that sentence is what makes pikrian Abah Dul out of the crib of the charm of the beautiful woman. His two eyes instantly glared sharply filled with anger and hatred staring at the beautiful woman.

Because that sentence makes Abah Dul suddenly remembered with a message from his teacher while still in the pesantren that he still remembered to this day.

“You are not God! I must ask only God, not you!” exclaim Abah Dul firmly.

He remembered very well, his teacher nicknamed, Kiyai Sapu Jagat warned, so as not to ask at any time other than Gusti Allah, the God who created the universe.

Remembering that without realizing it, he said the first verse of Al sincere letter which confirms that God is one.

“Kulhu allahu ahad!”
