Alma's Journey Looking for a Mother

DEKET 3: Allied Sakti

*Shell Family Revenge (DEKET)*

A house whose back is fused with a stone cliff that is not so high, is the arrival of guests. In fact, it was dawn.

There was an open horse carriage parked in front of that humble house. Twelve men in dark blue and sword-armed uniforms stood guard around the front of the house. Their faces were all covered up like ninjas.

In the train position sat a young man towards the old dressed in dark red. On his back were two short but trident-headed spears. His head was tied with a bright red cloth. His stature was more likely to be that of a swordsman than that of a charioteer.

Meanwhile, in the living room of the house, has sat Bandar Bumi and his son, Tenggak Telaga. They sat cross-legged on the floor facing a bowl that housed a human skull. From inside the skull holes came smoke smelling incense, but there was no fire or embers in the bowl.

They both wait.

Not long after, from behind the curtains walked out a white-robed old man. Her long hair was all white. His white eyebrows were long, his whiskers were long and his beard was long. The old man was none other than the White Crescent Skull. That's residence.

“How's your assignment at Bukit Selamat?” asked the White Sickle Skull as he descended sitting cross-legged before his two guests who were putting on faces full of doubt, as if his life was unclear.

“I only managed to kill Golono, the son of Demang Mahasugi. Besides failing all,” Bandar Bumi replied with a disappointed expression.

“Boddoh! Unreliable!” the White Crescent Skull snapped suddenly furiously, making Bandar Bumi and his son jerk backwards in surprise, but not to the point of being stricken so as not to be funny. “Do I have to kill your wife and child first for your work to satisfy me?”

“Ja-ja-don't, Elder!” squealing the Earth City was fast and stuttering. He hurriedly bowed his respects to the White Scythe Skull. “They are innocent, Elder. I'm working on all this with all my abilities and what I have. My wife and children don't hurt the Elders!”

“The mercenary power of Demang Mahasugi should be enough to destroy the Motionless King,” White Crescent Skull said.

“Yes, but our sheepfighting efforts were thwarted by a person named Demon Queen and her army ...”

“What? Demon Queen?” retell the surprised White Crescent Skull, cutting off the words Earth City.

“True. At the same time, the Demon Queen and her troops were at the King's residence Without Motion,”.

“Keparat! Apparently the Motionless King allied with the Lightning Sword assassin!” hissing White Crescent Skull to himself. Vengeful flames seemed to appear in the grandfather's pair of eyes.

“Two already know Demon Queen?” ask Bandar Bumi with a doubtful tone.

“He is the enemy of the Skull Family, because he is the one who killed the Lightning Sword Skull,” replied the White Crescent Skull with a somewhat hunting breath. “So, the Motionless King already knew that the person behind the sheepfighting effort was me?”

“It's not like that, Elder. I guess, the Motionless King only knew that I was the mastermind of the attack on him. And .. I think Demang Mahasugi also knew that I was the mastermind who killed his son. The two Demon Puppets who were aiming to disturb the residence of Demang Mahasugi had been caught. Demang Mahasugi paid a special swordsman to uncover the Demon Puppets controlled by the Soul Sovereign. Therefore, tonight I vacate my house to trap the mercenaries Demang Mahasugi,” Bandar Bumi said.

“Didn't you pay the Five Dark Killers to kill the Motionless King?” ask the White Sickle Skull.

“Currently, Elders. Besides the Motionless King was indeed powerful, he was also assisted by the Demon Queen. Ireng Keling and Ireng Segaris were killed in their hands,” Bandar Bumi toilet.

“That means my attempt to obtain the Heaven's Empress Bracelet failed. However, one of my luck, the Demon Queen appeared alone before my eyes. The Black Ball is a more worthy heirloom of the Heaven Empress Bracelet,” the White Crescent Skull said as if speaking for itself. Then he said again to Bandar Bumi, “The Soul Ruler has the knowledge of the Corpse Army. I know, his science only works on bodies that haven't been landfilled. Order him to collect as many new bodies as possible!”

“Good, Elder,” says Bandar Bumi.

“If you can help kill the Demon Queen, I will release your wife and mother, Bandar Bumi,”, said the White Crescent Skull.

“Why just my wife and mother? Will my daughter still be withheld, Elder?” ask Bandar Bumi in protest.

“Because I still need your services. Hahaha!” replied the White Sickling Skull then laughed shortly with a piercing glare at the Earth City.

“Why do the Elders not utilize Demang Sungkara services?” ask Bandar Bumi.

“Utilizing Demang Sungkara is very risky, because he is a close family of Duke Abirmeta. To bully Demang Sungkara is to rebel against the government. Different from Demang Mahasugi. He died too, Duke Abirmeta will not care,” explained the White Crescent Skull. “Now return. Kill the Demon Queen and Demang Mahasugi!”

“I told you, I won't kill Demang Mahasugi. It was the same against the government!” the Earth City.

“You already killed his son. You think Demang Mahasugi will let you live. If you don't kill him, then you will be killed as soon as possible,” the White Crescent Skull said.

“Why didn't the elder who came down instantly kill him? It will be faster and easier,” Bandar Bumi said.

“It's not as easy as you think. On his side is Princess Cicir Wunga,” said the White Crescent Skull.

“That means the same as I stay waiting to die,” said Bandar Bumi lethargic.

“That's your business,” said the White Crescent Skull then got up. Then he said again, “Your task will not be heavy, because the Skull Family will immediately intervene to kill the Demon Queen. I'll see how far your role was involved in the death of the Demon Queen.”

The White Crescent Skull then stepped inside. He would no longer go out to find the City of Earth and the Lake Notes. Then there is no choice for Bandar Bumi other than to go home.

“We're home, Dad?” tanya Tenggak Telaga who has not felt at home since.

“Iya. But we have to stay at your uncle's house. Our house is not safe. Order people to deliver a message to the Soul Ruler, for the two of them to gather an army of corpses,” Bandar Bumi said.

“Good, Dad,” says Uncompliant soot.

Meanwhile, at the same time in the courtyard of Bandar Bumi house, the magic swordsman named Garok Bodong and Dewi Kipas Murka faced three members of the Five Dark Killers, namely Ireng Cadas, who was the one who had been killed, Ireng Kemilau and Ireng Gempita.

In addition, the two great warriors were surrounded by troops dressed in dark blue and cloth masks. Their swords are ready to attack, just waiting for the order of the leader who is not clear which one.

There were more than twenty corpses scattered in the courtyard of the Bandar Bumi house. They were the corpses of the mercenaries Demang Mahasugi and the masked members of the army.

“Ireng-Ireng, you know both of us. All of these things are not a problem for both of us. And I doubt if you three can fight us both. I know, you are in a wounded condition,” said Garok Bodong.

“Hihihi!” laughter Goddess Kipas Murka. “We only want to kill Bandar Bumi. Just tell me, where is he now?”

“Again, what's the point of defending that guy? You better switch master, Demang Mahasugi can pay you more,” said Garok Bodong again.

“We still haven't received half our payment,” said Ireng Cadas.

“Hahaha! Haven't received full pay, but your two members are out of sight. Are they dead?” ask Dewi Kipas Murka.

“Not your business!” sentak Ireng Gempita's.

“Hihihi!” the laughter of Dewi Kipas Murka shrill.

“Just leave these two people, if you don't want to die fast!” yelling Ireng Cadas to the masked troops who surrounded.

“Retreat!” shouted one of the masked men who was the leader of the sword force.

The masked troops simultaneously sheathed his sword, then moved simultaneously away leaving the two people they surrounded. They went to jump over the wooden fence and disappeared into the darkness of dawn.

“We do not know where Bandar Bumi and his family are, you find yourself,” said Ireng Cadas. He first walked away from the place.

Without a wry smile, let alone a sweet smile, Ireng Kemilau and Ireng Gempita also stepped away from Garok Bodong and Dewi Kipas Murka. (BH)
