Alma's Journey Looking for a Mother

Mak Bolt 40: Black Gold Finger

*Pirate Burner (Bolt Shell)*

Riring Belanga, Arya Mungkara, Bandeng Prakas, and the troops faced similar things to what was faced by the forces led by Prince Degrees Soul.

Before entering the capital Balongan, the troops were confronted by ten hanging heads. Those ten heads were already smelling foul. However, in contrast to those encountered by the forces of the Prince of Soul Degrees, the heads were hung on a bamboo cross mounted on a bamboo pole that was quite high.

Two more spears inward, there is a short table made of bamboo slats, on which stands Duke Adya Bangira in the condition that both hands are tied behind. The duke's face looked stiff, but sweaty.

Just like his wife when taken hostage, there was a pirate who stood with an arrow directed at the head of Duke Adya Bangira. Only, the man was not alone. Nearby stood a woman armed with two black mines. She was named Luli, including a strong person in the group.

Seeing Adipati Adya Bangira was in hostage situation, Arya Mungkara and Bandeng Prakas immediately kicked his horse to run forward first.

“Gusti Duke!” arya Mungkara shouted, but was forced to stop her horse.

Bandeng Prakas also stopped his horse, as they saw the archer man pulling a little further back the bow strings, as if threatening to release an arrow into the duke's head.

Seeing the two young men stop, the arrow-holding man simply smiled sinisterly. Luli then stepped forward.

“Return all of you as far as possible, or the head of the Duke ends this very moment!” exclaimed Luli who both hands wrapped in black mines up to the shoulder.

“Arya Mungkara! Bandeng Prakas! Backward!” order Riring Belanga.

“I count to ten. If you do not retreat, then the Duke will die!” luli again.

“Retreat!” yell Riring Belanga.

Arya Mungkara and Bandeng Prakas immediately turned back their horses. So did the army of Singayam Kingdom, they turned right.

Kraurg!

“Aaak!”

Suddenly there was a sound like a bite that pierced the flesh and bones, which was immediately followed by the scream of a man.

Riring Belanga could see firsthand what was happening with her shock. While Arya Mungkara, Bandeng Prakas and the soldiers look back.

They knew that there was a large, pitch-black snake that had bitten the head of the arrow holder and wrapped around its body. While Luli who was also surprised had already jumped away from the snake figure that suddenly appeared without excuse.

Meanwhile, Adipati Adya Bangira was already in a state of falling on the ground with a deathly pale face. He fell after being knocked down by a snake's body. The black snake was none other than the Black Mbah.

Previously, in secret Alma Fatara had ordered Mbah Hitam to enter the capital Balongan looking for Duke Adya Bangira and help him.

Apparently, Mbah Hitam had been monitoring the figure of Adya Bangira and suspected him that he was the duke. After he heard Arya Mungkara mention Adya Bangira as duke, then the Black Mbah executed and saved Duke Adya Bangira.

“Gusti Duke!” call Arya Mungkara and Bandeng Prakas while compactly flashed from his horse and ran to find Duke Adya Bangira.

Meanwhile, without a second thought, Riring Belanga flashed quickly from the back of her horse hunting for Luli's whereabouts.

Blet up!

Luli, who was ready with all circumstances, immediately welcomed the arrival of Riring Belanga with a delay of two ends of her black mining rope. Riring Belanga easily dodged and then continued forward.

As an experienced swordsman, Riring Belanga who indeed relied more on the magic of his black fingers, quickly memepet Luli position.

Luli knew that her opponent wanted a meeting fight that would harm her, hence Luli tried to take some distance so that she could freely rely on her two rope mines. However, it turned out that Riring Belanga was too distance-keeping anyway, as if it did not give Luli a chance to stay away.

Every time Luli jumped back and attacked with her mining blister, Riring Belanga easily dodged and quickly stepped forward.

The set!

At one point, Luli managed to catch Riring Belanga's right wrist using one simple knot of mine. When the claw of the black fingers came, it was immediately caught by tying the wrist. The knots directly give a feeling of heat to the skin of Riring Belanga.

However, while holding the heat on his right hand, Riring Belanga's left hand quickly entered Luli's neck. By still pulling the rope tight, Luli tilted her upper body avoiding Riring's deadly attack.

Cras!

“Akk!” screech Luli as her opponent's left hand pulls at her right shoulder.

The black fingers of Riring Belanga were like scratching the surface of the slurry. Luli's shoulder skin is easily picked up, leaving five scorching finger lines eating skin and meat, not like a nail claw.

While the left hand is entangled, doing the resistance by forcing grasping the mine.

The cess!

If it was an ordinary mine, it would probably easily burn it, but it was a powerful mine. Therefore, Riring Belanga mustered the science of Black Gold Finger. The fingers of Riring Belanga's right hand turned shiny like iron fingers. As the fingers clasped the mine, a golden ray of fire and annihilation appeared. Like a fire that burns a dynamite wick, but faster.

The small gold ray moved quickly eating the mine axis which was cut in half and directly hit the two hands of Luli holding the mine. His focus on the pain in his shoulder, caught him off guard and did not have time to remove his grip on the mine until the two rays of gold burned his hands.

That happened very quickly.

“Aaak ..!” luli's screams were long and high, as her hands were slowly burned away by the expanding golden rays that followed the burning object.

Horrifically. Both of Luli's hands burned and then became smoldering ashes. While the golden rays continued to run towards the cubits and moved towards the arms.

Luli who was confused on how to stop or extinguish the gold rays of destruction, could only scream withstanding the pain, moreover both her hands disappeared slowly.

Adya Bangira Duke, Arya Mungkara, Bandeng Prakas, and the soldiers could only be widened to see the horror created by the science of the Black Golden Finger belonging to Riring Belanga.

Until finally, the two golden rays that ate both arms of Luli also ate Luli's body. The female pirate was eventually killed before her body was completely depleted with no flesh or bones left.

“Where was the black snake?” ask Riring Belanga to Arya Mungkara and Bandeng Prakas.

“Go by itself,” replied Arya Mungkara.

It looks like the victim of the Black Mbah has been lying without life and hope.

“Arya, where are Arung Seto and Ariang Banu?” duke Adya Bangira.

“They lead the troops through the riverbank road, Gusti,” Arya Mungkara replied.

“But it is difficult to make sure their condition is fine, Gusti. The traps set up by the pirates were terrible,” Bandeng Prakas said.

“Majuu!” riring Belanga shouted to his team.

So the Singayam Kingdom troops moved into the capital Balongan via the north road. (BH)
