EVERNA Ring of Fire
DANURAH Part 5
But Sthira smiled. With a more prepared position, enough time for him to jump up high and beat his machete horizontally with the style of Thunder Dragon Punched Cadas. Those extremely sharp energy blades struck the two ghosts at once, mercilessly.
However, one strange thing happened. An ordinary ghost's body must have been split apart by the lightning dragon's incision. While the two Sthira attackers just fell, then flew back away while shouting with a shrill voice, as if slicing the ears. They must have been hurt, but not badly.
The next moment, the ghosts stormed in unison, as if they were determined to gang up and finish off all the humans in the haunted forest.
Maybe Team Sthira is just three or the ghosts are actually an army of magical humans. To be sure, now Sthira himself is overwhelmed to ward off and avoid attacks from all directions.
The cold sweat of Sthira. If this continues, it could be that the wound will be even worse, even fatal. The ghostly claws were again leaning towards Sthira, a reality that he feared was inevitable.
Until suddenly, a woman's cry was more shrill, more deafening than anyone else's. Even the ghosts cover the side of the head where their ears should be, then fly away while screaming.
Just a moment later, Sthira kept both of her palms away from her pair of ears. There were no more ghosts flying everywhere.
Instead was a woman who was walking very gracefully towards the group. The woman was wearing all black and had black hair. Her face exuded a natural beauty charm, although it appeared to be faintly wrinkled, especially around her eyes.
Nirya and Arumi also approached from a distance. They did not suffer any significant injuries, but they chose to remain silent and keep their distance from the woman.
The identity of the new helper was rather clear as the guide girl exclaimed, “Teacher!”
A teacher? If this woman is really the teacher and guide in question, it means that her timely appearance is really coincidental. Absolutely coincidental.
But Sthira wrapped up his curiosities with polite speech, “Thank you elders for saving us. May you know what the elder's name is?”
“My name is Ni Luh Gusti Widuri, just call me Ni Widuri,” replied the woman graceful but not at all impressed haughty. Her warm smile spread. “It is precisely I who must apologize for asking you to meet me in this haunted forest, so you are attacked by leak.”
Nirya gasp. “Leak? Is that the name for the ghosts?”
“Leak is not a ghost,” replied Widuri. “They are witch women who claim forbidden black magic, Leak Durja. Science is easy to learn, but asking for ‘by’ is huge. So at any time if the science is to be deployed in full force, the harpooner will turn into a leak, a man with a ghostly power looking terrible.”
“Rangda. You're right, young man,” said Widuri, the wrinkles on her forehead increased a lot. “But how is this? Why haven't you introduced yourself since?”
The team leader, Sthira said, “Pardon us, elders. I'm Sthira from Kalingga, and these are my colleagues, Nirya from Swarnara and Arumi from Jayandra.”
Word “Jayandra” had made Widuri snorting. But the woman dressed in the noble style of Rainusa, full of ornaments with detailed motifs that quickly squinted her eyes and smiled. And only Sthira had the chance to see that change in expression.
“Well, since we all know each other, let's get straight to the business,” said Widuri. “Nah, as one of the mystic and religious leaders in Rainusa, I feel obliged to participate in monitoring and guarding the sacred mountain, Idharma. Surely I also helped ensure the safety of his guardian, the Sacred Lion of the Gods, Barong.”
“Just go to the point, Elders Widuri.” Arumi put on an impatient face.
Widuri tilted the corner of her lips, probably because she was called “eseti” too often. He then spoke, “Hmm, I have long needed to meet with Sang Barong to discuss very important issues concerning the occult world. However, he always could not be found, and recently we from the establishment even banned from entering to Balairung Saka Cahya for no apparent reason.”
“Lho, how can it be?” ask Nirya.
“If I knew, I wouldn't bother calling you here,” replied Widuri expressionlessly. “It is precisely I have to infiltrate the temple and find out why,” replied Widuri expressionlessly. “However, supposedly in an emergency, Pura Kharayan guarded by powerful creatures and there are traps. I guess if something goes wrong, my own magic won't be enough to face them all.”
Sthira's facial expression was somewhat slackened. So far all the explanations Widuri quite reasonable, but he felt there was one thing wrong, which Widuripun did not know.
After all, without waiting for Sthira's response, Nirya and Arumi, Widuri said, “So how? I'll be your guide and you'll protect me, do we agree?”
