THE TRIDENT OF DEATH
THE PEAK OF THE BOAT

The mount tangkuban boat. Thirteen days twelve months… 

The wind from the north blew fiercely, defeating the gust of the west wind that blew a wet duster. The peak of Mount Tangkuban Perahu is shrouded in eternal silence. But that day seems to be an eternal silence that will be lost by the coming of the calculating men. Will be extinct in the face of revenge on the saints. 

The wide mountain crater reflects nonstop the thin smoke smell of sulfur. Several tens of feet from the crater rim are lined with lush, towering, straight-leaf evergreen trees. At that time the morning sun had risen right between the highest point and the starting point of its rising. The north wind blew again, The leaves of the fir trees were waving. 

And among the whispers of the fir leaves of the fir trees, there was a whistling sound that echoed the entire peak of Mount Tangkuban Perahu. The whistling sound was also like wanting to bubble a sulfur crater and slap on the sulfur fog that meandered the surface of the crater. The whistling sound was disorganized, not performing a song or song, the tone was erratic. But the irregularity and indeterminacy is strange when heard carefully will be a strange song with a magical tone. The whistling sound makes the listener will be stuck into an imaginary world. 

But on that morning at the top of Mount Tangkuban Perahu, there was no one but humans who made a whistling sound. And who is this man? 

The whistling sound came from the tallest evergreen tree a sign that humans were there. And this man is none other than Rangga Geblek, the Swordsman of the Heavenly Dragon Death Trident. 

Why he got to the top of the mountain was in connection with the challenge of his old enemy Kaligundil. But the young swordsman until then never thought that what he would meet at the top of the mountain would be not only a Kaligundil, but also some famous and powerful martial world figures. 

Rangga continued to whistle while occasionally giving his gaze to the entire mountain peak. Just calm and calm. View to the foot and slopes of the mountain. Everything was still covered in silence and tranquility. 

Twice as much as tea passed. The ears of the sharp and well-trained Trident of Death Swordsman were faintly heard the sound of something. Soon this young man stopped his whistling. His head turned towards the east of the mountain peak from where the voice came. It still didn't look anything but the voice he heard grew louder. 

Some time later from behind a hard mound of soil on the edge of the eastern crater appears to appear a person's head, following his chest and body. The figure of this human body turned out not to be Kaligundil because his hands were not stumped. 

“Other awaited, another coming”, hiss Rangga Geblek in heart. 

Both of his eyes continued to look incessantly at this new-coming human. This person he saw looking around seemed to be looking for something, maybe looking for someone. His age is advanced. According to Rangga's lowest estimate of fifty years. Although old but his body was stocky. On his waist appears to be a golden keris. From his light and calm movements, Rangga knew that this old man must be a master of silat from a high level. 

“Maybe once he dwells around the top of mount Tangkuban Perahu or maybe his arrival there is just one coincidence with the day where I will make calculations with Kaligundil”, he said, thus the Swordsman of the Trident of Death thought in his heart. 

Meanwhile the unknown old man was seen standing on the edge of the crater looking down and then turning his body and exploring the entire surface of the mountain with his pair of small but sharp eyes. Then this old man finally stepped towards the row of spruce trees and here sat releasing his tiredness. 

Rangga understood now that this old man came there was looking for someone and when he did not meet him he decided to wait. Because they feel they have no business with their parents. Rangga remained in place, on top of a tall fir tree. 

The sun is also moving towards its highest peak. Rangga continued to watch the old man. Suddenly his head turned south. A body looks flashing. The arrival of this human can be said to be inaudible or not caught by the ears of Rangga Geblek. In fact, the greatness of the science of running and the science of fortifying his body. 

What attracts the Trident of Death is that this man is not the Caligundil he is waiting for. This guy is a kate. His head was slippery and gleaming in the sunlight. Both feet are not only wide but also thick like elephant feet. 

Suddenly Pendekar Trisula Maut remembered the description of his teacher Eyang Ratih Parwati. According to his teacher, at the top of Mount Lawu dwells a major silat figure named Tapak Gadjah. The greatness of Gadjah's Tread is the soles on a pair of legs that are shaped like elephant feet. Let alone humans, even stones if kicked will be destroyed. And indeed at that time Rangga witnessed for himself how the mountain land that was stepped on by the two men's feet left a mark of sinking up to half a dim. 

“Maybe this human is Tapak Gadjah”, batin Rangga Geblek. “But why is he so far away to show up here..?”. 

As he looked so deeply into Rangga Geblek was surprised to see how the old man sitting under the fir tree suddenly stood up to welcome the arrival of the kate man. the two men looked at each other for a moment. Once jumped, the kate was already two spears in front of the old man with gold. The two looked at each other and researched. 

Then came the sound of Kate yelling. “So you've come first mad swordsman Rangga Geblek ?! Apparently you really really want to die soon”. 

The overflowing anger made Tapak Gadjah forget the information of Kaligundil that Rangga Geblek was a young man. Not only did the old man look surprised and astonished, but the Swordsman Trident of Death on top of the spruce tree so knitted his forehead when he heard the clash of the kate man. 

Before the old man had time to talk then the kate had asked with a snarl: “Mampus which way do you want Pendekar Trisula Maut ?!  I Tapak Gadjah immediately did it!!”. 

“If it is true that I faced Tapak Gadjah, a famous silat figure from Mount Lawu at this time”, telling the old man, “then your guess missed once”. 

Gadjah's site glares at the eyes. “Meleset how do you mean ?” 

And Tapak Gadjah remembered the description of Kaligundil. Then asked the question: “Are you not Rangga Geblek the geblek man titled Swordsman Trident Death ?!”. 

The old man shook his head. “I am Wirasokananta, Chairman of White Lotus College on the hill Siharuharu” 

“Ah... unexpectedly come from far away would meet the famous silat figure”, Tapak Gadjah also said friendly. 

Considering Wirasokananta is a silat figure from the white people come, he himself from the black group then ask Tapak Gadjah: “What movement made the Chairman of the White Lotus College to come here ?” 

“Long story Tapak Gadjah”, memahuti the old man with gold. “The summary is to find and meet the invitation of a depraved human named Rangga Geblek titled Swordsman Trisula Maut”. 

“Ah... ah... Then we both came for a similar purpose. And it must have had the same final goal of ending the history of the damned man. Isn't that so ?” 

Although it was a wonder how Tapak Gadjah could know that but Wirasokananta nodded as well. 

“Meanwhile, the last destination is the same but the background is certainly another. If I may ask, why did the Chairman of White Lotus College intervene and not send the students of Perguruan ?” 

“All my disciples perished in the hands of that accursed man. Two of them were raped”, Wirasokananta replied. His voice vibrates. 

“Your fate and my fate apparently not much different Chairman White Lotus”, sound Tapak Gadjah. “Muridku Suranyawa, also kunyuk sedeng that kill”. 

Now you know Rangga Geblek. Gadjah's father was apparently the teacher of Suranyawa aka Mahesa Jenar. 

“But your disciple is just a dead man in his hand and I'm whole”, said Wirasokananta. 

“What matters is not the number of White Lotus Heads. The important thing is that the kunyuk sedeng is a depraved man that we must disappear from the face of this earth”. 

Wirasokananta. Gadjah's father wants to open his mouth again. But it was void because at that moment the corner of his eye saw a body flashing and knew already in front of them. 

“Who else came this ?”, batin Rangga Geblk. 

While a moment later he heard the voice of Tapak Gadjah said while jutting: “What an unexpected meeting. Silat figures from Mount Halimun why can appear here ?”. 

The person who had just come laughed loudly. He was dressed in white. His hair was as long as a woman's, his beard sticking out to his stomach. The hair and beard were white and waving in the wind. 

“You yourself why can hang out here ?”, behind asking the white beard, he glanced at Wirasokananta. 

Gadjah's site first introduced the white beard to Wirasokananta. It turned out that the white beard was Begawan Sitaraga, a magician from Mount Halimun. 

After hearing the words of Tapak Gadjah who also all talk about Wirasokananta, then Sitaraga took a deep breath and said, “It is really unexpected that our arrival here three-thirds is carrying the same intent. I know Mahesa Jenar well. I have promised to help her fight to destroy Pajajaran because indeed I have long had enmity with that Kingdom. But in fact Mahesa preceded me. This I know from a man who came to my place. Apparently before the war broke out, Mahesa there sent a courier. The courier was caught by Pajajaran” patrol. 

The silence interrupted for a moment. On top of the spruce tree, Rangga Geblek was still motionless in place. With the emergence of the three people and with their respective narratives, Rangga can now explore that something is wrong. And this disgrace was inflicted upon him. Who is the mastermind of this irregularity is not difficult to guess, namely Kaligundil. But where is Kaligundil himself? 

Convinced that not only three people will appear, Rangga decided to wait. His guess is right. Through a drink of tea, from the west department, two body figures appear to run fast like the wind. 

The one with a maimed hand and was soon recognized by Rangga Geblek as Kaligundil. Another Trident of Death forgot to remember. But looking at the image of the trident on his forehead, Rangga just remembered that this human was the Tread of Luwing, the head of the Black Three from Kali Comel who the other day fought against him, but was then rushed by Kaligundil. Once in front of Tapak Gadjah, Wirasokananta and Begawan Sitaraga, the two soon become. 

Kaligundil looked around. “Please forgive if we came a bit late”. He looked around again. The people he invited were already complete. “That crazy blooper still hasn't appeared”. 

Luwing palpitations. “I have a hunch that it's humans who don't have the guts to come drop their lives here”. 

“If he dares to challenge, he dares come”, favoring Kaligundil. 

“We just wait”, open the voice Begawan Sitaraga. “And even if it turns out that the curse does not appear, to the door of hell I will find him”, said the Chairman of the White Lotus College. 

It was very happy that Kaligundil heard the word Wirasokananta. In fact how the grudge of the parents against Rangga Geblek. 

Meanwhile from the top of the spruce tree Pendekar Trisula Maut Rangga Geblek looked down carefully. Now there is no doubt that everything until the three main silat figures are there is Kaligundil who has a plan. 

Five people will face him. Kaligundil and the Luwing Tread were already able to climb the heights of the two people's knowledge, but what about the other three people ? Can he face all five of them at once ? 

The Trident Death Swordsman quietly took a deep breath. He looked up at the sky. The sun has reached its highest peak. Does he immediately stand up or wait until the moment he feels right ? 

At that time, under the sound of Tapak Gadjah said: “I am still not sure if the snot kunyuk was really a disciple of Ratih Parwati. That wrinkled granny has long since stopped from the world of persilatan”.

Hot heart Rangga Geblek heard his teacher called so. No longer felt, driven by the instincts that had made him able, then came a whistling sound from between his lips. The five humans under the tree were shocked and looked up. 

“Badness, apparently kunyuk sedeng it has long languished above”, maki Kaligundil. 

“Daddy is crazy, come down to receive it!!”, cried Wirasokananta. 

The Trident of Death laughed. “White Lotus College Chief, I feel sorry for you. Don't know that you've been fooled by that dumb-handed man”. 

Kaligundil quick snap. “How could you choose death on that tree Rangga Geblek ?! Indeed the tree is tall enough to speed your rotten spirit flying to hell!!”.

Rangga laughed again like that. 

“Let me force him down!!!”, open the mouth of Tapak Luwing. 

His right hand moved. Then three poisonous flying knives shot to the top of the spruce tree where the Swordsman of the Trident of Death was.

SERIATE....
