Flying Umbrella Swordsman

Jaran Goyang's

The hand of Gandara's tribe was lifted up, holding the face of his son. Staring at him was full of tenderness and affection. Then the plant floated slowly upward and vanished into the wind.

Adijaya was still kneeling for a long time looking at his father's departure until Padmasari was nearby. The feeling is so haru. It was as if the father was still living in the mortal realm.

"Let's continue, Jagan!"

Adijaya rose after controlling her feelings. Then walk into gate five. Prepare to face the strangeness of what is hindering them. Since it always was so, each one managed to enter the gate, it would pass the test of nature before going up against the next gatekeeper.

What Adijaya and Padmasari must pass now is a giant waterfall. This water seemed to descend from the sky. As far as the eye can see. It is estimated that the thickness also cannot be measured because it cannot be penetrated by view.

Adijaya pecked while scratching his nose with one finger. Can he break through the waterfall with the Flying Umbrella while carrying Padmasari? This water pressure must be incredible.

"I'm going to make a tunnel, and you, as usual, set up a bridge!" adijaya said to Padmasari.

This pretty guriang just nodded.

Then Adijaya gathered all the energy felt in that place. He made it an invisible object that makes the waterfall hollow. An infinitely long tunnel was formed.

After that it was Padmasari's turn to create the bridge as before.

"The real illusion!" muttered Adijaya while nodding his head. "Illusions but real!"

Without hesitation Adijaya steps on the magic bridge made by Padmasari. The beautiful guriang followed him faithfully. The roar of a giant 'curug' sounded quite deafening. Adijaya to drain the magic air so as not to break his eardrum.

Like the previous obstacles, this gigantic waterfall was endless. After getting upset walking and running finally used Ki Santang as well to drift faster.

The darker the tunnel gets. Besides in the Kasali valley, this is where Adijaya finds darkness. Padmasari slipped on his shoulders like he was sleeping.

After a long time through the tunnel, finally arrived at the end. Adijaya found the sky bright again. In front of the gate a creepy-faced grandmother was ready to head off.

"Who is he?" ask Adijaya who is not familiar with the figure.

"He's Nini Kewuk!"

Instantly Adijaya remembered about one of the disciples of Karang Bolong who had so fallen to his wife until he came to Nini Kewuk to ask for a pellet study.

"Oh, so this is what's called the Queen of Pellets?"

As told long before, Nini Kewuk was killed by Asmarini crushed by the ruins of a cave on a rock hill. This signifies that Ganggasara's knowledge of powerful figures is very broad.

Nini Kewuk did not carry a cane, only wearing a black robe. Like a Koneng Jerangkong, but I don't know what the grandmother will use as a weapon.

The grandmother raised both hands like a praying man, and then she heard her mouth chant.

"Loh, he can talk!" pekik Adijaya because he thought the grandmother was the same as the others. Mute.

"Jagatku jagat ayu

My body raga ayu

Kawahku ayu kakang

Rayi ayu

Ing earth deudeuh

Jaran shake ing jaran shake

Jaranku jaran

Yuuuuh....!"

Hearing the mantra of aji Jaran Goyang immediately Adijaya's head felt heavy and dizzy. His sight was blurred. The world is like spinning and shaking. The umbrella was propped up to the ground keeping his body from falling.

The other hand was twitching his forehead trying to relieve dizziness. Don't forget he's giving up magic as well. This turned out to be the grandmother's attack.

Padmasari immediately helped his master. He stood behind Adijaya while gluing a pair of palms to the swordsman's back.

"Close the sense of hearing, Oathman. Don't hear his voice!"

Adijaya did what Padmasari suggested. It turns out true, after no longer hearing the incantation of Jaran Goyang, the dizziness gradually disappeared. His head returned lightly and his vision was clear again.

But the swordsman was surprised because in front of him now stood the person he loved the most was looking at him smiling sweetly. Asmarini. How could he be here?

"Don't be fooled, Juragan, it's just a trick!"

"Not a real illusion?"

"Of course not. She's the Queen of Pellets, she's doing a spell with Jaran Goyang. Better to concentrate your mind. Silence until Juragan felt alone just open your eyes!"

Again Adijaya followed Padmasari's advice. Close both eyes, concentrate your mind. Shut off all senses. To not feel anything, just an empty mind.

Adijaya felt the emptiness, the silence. It's like being at the farthest point in the universe where there's nothing but silence and emptiness.

After that he opened his eyes. He finds himself back inside the territory of the Sixth Gate Demon Castle guarded by Nini Kewuk. It's just that he didn't hear any sound.

He did not see Asmarini anymore, but only Nini Kewuk who was struggling, but did not hear his voice. No other sounds were heard either. Padmasari was already beside him slowly moving away taking some distance.

When he turned his head back towards Nini Kewuk, it turned out that the grandmother had lunged sending an attack in the form of claws of her long nails. Apparently Jaran Goyang study failed to save him.

At this time Adijaya's ears returned to normal, able to hear everything. Including the sound of Nini Kewuk's hand that targeted her face. Because the grandmother did not use a weapon, Adijaya threw her umbrella at Padmasari.

Fighting happens. Nini Kewuk's scratch style can immediately be understood the core of the sari, so Adijaya easily read the attack pattern. However, he did not want to prioritize the layout in this fight.

The purpose of Adijaya still wants to release the gusset that ensnared Nini Kewuk. Then he just looked for a chance to reach for the nape of the grandmother. However, Nini Kewuk's scratch style is very ferocious.

The incision energy created from the flickering of the grandmother's claws felt like an indelible scratching the skin. Inevitably Adijaya must create a solution first in order to be able to urge back.

In addition, Adijaya also converts the energy that meets the air into a coating shield to be immune from the sharp nails of Nini Kewuk.

After he was protected by energy and was able to break the opponent's moves, now it was Adijaya's turn to urge Nini Kewuk. A pair of Adijaya's hands were aiming for the shoulder and neck, but the grandmother's two claws were always in the way.

Tepp!

Finally he caught Nini Kewuk's two hands. Then rotate the body of the grandmother so that her position turns back. He caught Grandma's neck.

Brett!

With a quick movement of the lifting of the object attached to the nape of Nini Kewuk. The grandmother staggered forward and fell to her knees. If in the mortal realm maybe Adijaya has breathed a sigh of relief.

As usual the robes worn turned white. Sukma Nini Kewuk slowly floated up and then vanished into the wind.
