KEEP BUANA (Rise of Darkness)

Gandini II

Gentayu could no longer even see what was happening with his body when the last devastating explosion sounded. A burly hand grabbed him before his consciousness disappeared completely, just as the biggest explosion sounded.

The last explosion produced another powerful shock wave that ravaged the entire forest area. However, the owner of the burly hand was completely untouched even by one of the explosions produced by the giant light bracelets.

The burly hand, apparently belongs to a green colored creature that is facing a female figure named Gandini.

A second before the final explosion reached the body of the green creature, the body of the green creature shot out and turned into a green light towards Gentayu. Snatched his body and just disappeared. Vanishing into the void space, as if the two had never existed in that place before.

The dozens of giant light bracelets only hit the former point where the green figure had been before, but only smashed into the dried up mud of the pond. Turn it into a crater with thick smoke billowing.

The woman in the sky named Gandini seemed to snort annoyed to see her prey disappear just like that. The figure only turned for a moment in the direction where the pinang mas was before darting quickly away from the place. Turned into a beam of white light in the distance.

In less than twenty breaths of time, eight people dressed in green uniforms characterized Pinang Mas landing on the spot. They were shocked to see the severity of the damage in that place, but found no one there.

“What the fuck?? What happened??” A skinny old man with white hair and beard could not help his nervousness seeing the condition before him. He is Jamalanik, the chairman of the padepokan and the current professor of Pinang Mas.

In his entire life, only a great war was capable of creating such severe destruction. But now, before them all presented a scene of destruction and no one was seen there.

Not only was the old man agape, the other seven people who were with him were speechless as well. Only Nyai Suntari seemed to understand something. None other than that, it was because of Anjani's previous explanation of the makhuk figure of the lotus pond dweller in the middle of this vast expanse of swamp.

‘Did a battle happen? Who are the opponents, and where are they now?’ Nyai Suntari, despite having more information than others, was still confused.

He approached the former lotus pond that has now become a crater with smoke billowing to make sure of something.

What the mainstay healer does is clearly inviting interest and curiosity from others. However, they remained busy with their individual thoughts, trying to digest the situation that had just occurred.

“I'm sure, there has just been a battle of almost god-equivalent power in this place. If my guess did not miss, one of them was an important figure among the main forces of Sindur Kuntala, perhaps even Lemuria.” an elder who looked learned gave his opinion, breaking the silence between them.

The others just turned their heads while frowning and narrowing their eyes at him. The other female elders even advanced, and..

‘PLAK!’

A clap of the tip of the woman's palm popped into the forehead of the learned elder.

“Your job is to keep the library, but why is your idiot not disappearing??” he said again as it passed.

“All of us also know, here the former battle happened.. The problem is, who are they and where are they now??” continued the woman with bulging eyes towards the learned elder.

The learned elder was named Tangkil Juma, part of the arms hall or heirloom hall. He was assigned to oversee the affairs of the library and simple administration padepokan.

The woman, despite looking young, was almost a hundred years old. Demonstrated that the ability of the science of canuragannya so high that it is able to fight the aging of his body cells.

She was the Primawati, the strongest female swordsman in the current padepokan, as well as the elder in charge of the princess-specific knight hall. Purple Rose is a nickname that he got because of his beauty when young.

“The devil has risen!”

All the eyes of the seven people immediately turned and turned to the source of the voice. Nyai Suntari said as he stood on the crater rim, looking at the smoke billowing from the crater floor.

The old physician then turned to face everyone. His breathing was heavy as he took a deep breath before speaking.

“Muridku, Anjani. told me that he met a Green figure in this place. According to my guess, the figure he met was Gola Ijo who had managed to break free.!” His speech confidently, made the faces of all present even worse, except for an elder with a sword on his back.

His expression seemed confused. The elder, even turned his head in astonishment towards his comrades who were showing anxious faces.

“Chairman... Can you explain to me what is Gola Ijo?” his tan was plain without trying to cover his lag in this information about Gola Ijo.

“Gola Ijo, touted as a failed Devil by some parties. A failed demon, meant that his strength was almost on par with a true demon, yet he failed to reach one of the crucial points to possess true demonic power. In fact, in the past my teacher was still alive, it was mentioned that the power of the Gola Ijo was sealed in one part of the earth of Sindur Kuntala.

Unfortunately, Nyai Suntari may be right. I was told by my teacher that the power of Gola Ijo was actually locked inside this swamp.” Bright Jamanik, made the breath of his seven subordinates become heavy.

Gola Ijo is a legend of the devil in Sindur Kuntala. His strength, should be the strongest among those who have yet to reach the final level of bathing. In fact, Mislan Katili is said to be very strong because of the help of this Gola Ijo.

The lunge of the Gola Ijo in mainland Lemuria lasted for hundreds of years. Achieving his strength by consuming the life essence of another swordsman was his way of strengthening himself.

However, as Mislan Katili before, Gola Ijo also eventually became a fugitive all warriors who took shelter in the padepokan.

Less than three hundred years ago, it was heard that the Gola Ijo had been sealed. The location and who sealed it was still mysterious. But not for Padepokan Pinang Mas. The teacher and early founder of Pinang Mas was the one who had sealed the Gola Ijo.

And Gandini, touted as the concubine of the founding Master Pinang Mas who managed to conquer Gola Ijo without a fight.

Apparently, the ability to seduce Gandini is very capable so that the demon nation was captivated so easily defeated.

But then, the reality about Gola Ijo was almost forgotten by people. In fact, the last hundred years, almost never discussed or heard anything about Gola Ijo in the padepokan.

The teachers, the elders even the predecessors of the surviving paraphernalia had also never discussed at all. It was as if Gola Ijo had truly been forgotten.

Due to Nyai Suntari's news, the atmosphere between the brands turned tense.
