KEEP BUANA (Rise of Darkness)

The Call for Unification II

“Stop attack!”

This time, Nyi Suntari also did not remain silent. He soon followed his disciple, Anjani, darting against a figure who was still trying to attack Rajo Narako.

The figure that was darting towards the attack was taken aback by the encouragement of the pair of teachers and disciples. The figure was wearing a uniform as an elder of the Golden Pinang swordsman, so it quickly recognized Nyi Suntari despite not recognizing Anjani before.

‘BRAK!’

The collision of two attack energies occurred in the air.

Nyi Suntari had already unleashed his energy attack to head off a similar attack from the Golden Pinang elder.

The female healer was forced to unleash an energy attack as she found no other way to block the attack that the elder had already unleashed.

Both of them bounced and slammed into the ground violently due to the colliding energy explosion.

Not only the two of them, Anjani is also forced to create an energy shield to protect himself and Rajo Narako who is meditating, trying to neutralize the influence of the Spirit Ball.

The two elders from two different halls had now both risen.

The attacker elder no longer showed a hostile attitude when he knew Nyi Suntari was protecting the person he thought was the devil.

The elder who had just attacked was the sword of the betel cloud, named Aswan.

He immediately drew closer towards his shattered sword. Then approached Anjani and Nyi Suntari with curiosity.

“Who is he, Nyi?” he asked after picking up the remaining fragments of his sword and was quite close to Nyi Suntari.

“He was one of my ancestors. I don't really understand either, but he mentioned something about the rise of Mislan Katili. He had swallowed something round and glowing that meant to escape from it. I don't know for sure what it is, but it looks like something dangerous if it comes off.. ” Nyi Suntari who did not really understand the whole incident before him tried to explain.

“Mislan Katili?? That devil??” Aswan, the sword of Cloud Pinang frowned.

The man, like other white warriors, must have heard the story of the Demon King named Mislan Katili. The figure that made two worlds stir hundreds of years ago.

Nyi Suntari just nodded. The views of the three men refocused on facing Rajo Narako. The red glow from his body, the more visible it began to dim even though it was very slow and could almost only be realized by the observing.

“That's the Nine Spirits Ball. Sometimes, people call it the Nine Spirits Ball because it is nine in number. In that nine-number sphere, it was said to have sealed the figure of the demon king separately. Mislan Katili!” Anjani who has been with Rajo Narako longer than others explains.

“Should have been, that spirit ball wouldn't have reacted. Except.” Anjani hangs up her sentence. The look in his eyes implied the horror of something. Tense and anxious are drawn in the romance of his face.

“Except?” Simultaneously Nyi Suntari and Aswan parrot.

“Unless, at least seven of the nine balls have been successfully put together in a place. and the Demon King has risen.”.

The hot air coming from Rajo Narako's body makes his third body sweat, but Anjani's information about Mislan Katili makes the two elders shiver.

Elsewhere, on a snowy mountain in a distant region of Sindur Kuntala.

Three people with different skin colors were meeting an old man in white robes. The old man's long hair was also white. In fact, his beard and brows had also been completely whitened. Wrinkles visible signs of aging on his face, but his body remains firm and stocky.

He was the teacher of Lou Shisan, Xin Long the great Alchemy God.

The old man looked into the distance, at a valley where more than two thousand warriors had been released from the Buana Pantong prison before.

Not only had she freed them from captivity, Lou Shisan had also managed to release all of the crystal seedlings from the bodies of the warriors without making them lose their previous strength. All proves, that the title of the drug god he bears is not a joke.

As for the red crystal seedlings from the bodies of the warriors, they were now gathered not far from the feet of the Great Alchemy God, his teacher.

Xin Long, so far known only raised three disciples who were all legends. Lou Shisan is one of them.

Lou Shisan and Dana Setra have stated that their intentions are related to the red crystals planted inside the bodies of thousands of warriors.

Lou Shisan himself confronts the teacher with the intention of asking permission to force his fellow students to stop making red crystals.

The siblings in question were other geniuses in the field of alchemy and medicine. The healer who nicknamed himself ‘The Devil of Pil’ because of his skill in creating various strange drugs that are considered useless by the white flow group.

Even so, Demon Pill was very fond of luxurious life and could hardly escape the bad habit of playing women. His talent in alchemy, was entirely devoted to his personal pleasures. That was why, then the Demon Pill was more inclined and close to the black flow group.

The red crystal seedling that was considered a fresh but hard fruit by Lou Shisan was one of the Devil Pill's creations. Deliberately made as a versatile medicinal ingredient to increase one's strength instantly, but of course with high risk. All of them, again because of his love for wealth.

‘The Crystal Fruit’, in the hands of Lou Shisan was concocted into wine, but in the hands of the Red Telegu group it was converted into Power Crystals by being planted on the bodies of living things. It was then harvested and sold for danyang and bhakta crystals.

The Pill Demon refused firmly the request of his college brother, Lou Shisan, to stop the production of red crystal seedlings. Not only that, the request to stop reaching the Red Telegu was also rejected outright.

“Teacher, please allow disciples to take action against Ye's sister. And forgive the student for having to wake the teacher from meditation.” Lou Shisan, along with Dana Setra and Montawiraba kneeled before the Great Alchemy God.

“So, so far that brat has gone astray.” Xin Long said softly as she stroked her long white beard. “But it seems like, whenever I allow you to crack down on it, you will not be able to. Your sister is much stronger than you.” The old man said as he stroked his long beard.

“More than that, isn't the problem in your other bag more urgent to solve?” xin Long said as he pointed at the pouch hanging on Lou Shisan's waist. That pouch, was a pouch containing the seal of nine spirit balls and several other demon seals.

“True, teacher. And indeed our time is not much.” replied Lou Shisan.

“The only possible and thoughtful path in my head right now is to destroy these seals. At least, it undermines the reunification process.” The teacher said calmly. Then took out a green-colored jade bottle the size of twice the human palm.
