Nyi Rongkot or the Serpent Feminine stopped his running when he heard the sound of a fight in the middle of the Ivory Forest. Immediately tilted his head trying to find the direction of the source of the battle sound, his legs swung again after being able to ascertain the direction of the sound.
His eyes frowned when he saw the greatness of the golden rays. Two people were fighting with their own weapons. From the heavy swings accompanied by rumbling sounds, it can be known that one of the people who fought was the wild man Buto Dungkul.
While the one who grasped the sword gave off a golden light was the Golden Sword God. From last night until this morning they have fought dozens of moves. But no one seemed desperate. Each of them launched quite a dangerous and deadly attack. Nyi Rongkot lowered Sekar Telasih's body from his incline.
“H... The Golden Sword God. Truly a name to be reckoned with by Buto Dungkul," muttered Nyi Rongkot.
Nyi Rongkot's estimate was correct. In some later stages it appears that Buto Dungkul is pressed constantly. It was only fitting that he got the nickname Golden Sword God. His sword-straight games were shrewd and fast The golden sword was in his hands. Quickly so that what looks only in the form of golden rays roll in circles confine Buto Dungkul.
On one good occasion, a golden sword flashed rapidly slashing through the shoulder of Buto Dungkul. Such a quick and sudden movement was inevitable again. The wild man's left shoulder was struck by a golden sword.
“Ha ha ha..!” Buto Dungkul laughed out loud.
The Golden Sword God leapt back three acts backwards. His eyes bought wide almost in disbelief with his own eyesight. Obviously his sword eyes slashed at the wild man's shoulder but there was not the slightest scratch wound there. Even from the tip of the sword to the base of his arm the Golden Sword God felt an extremely violent tremor
“Crazy! My golden sword does not work," grunted the Golden Sword God.
The Golden Sword God shouted out loud. He said his sword was strong and then he jumped. Buto Dungkul still remained chuckled regardless of the golden light that flashed.
“Campus you, satan!” the Golden Sword God.
The truck!
The Golden Sword God slashed at the wild man Buto Dungkul with full inner exertion. Instantly the Golden Sword God's body bounced backwards the moment his sword hit the target. While the wild man Buto Dungkul is still uprooted standing firm.
“Satan! What science does he use?” the Golden Sword God growled as soon as he saw his sword eyes chubby. There was not the slightest wound on the chest of this wild man. He stood up snobbed to his waist. His large tall body shook as his laughter continued to chuckle. Meanwhile Nyi Rongkot who was watching just smiled. The other is with the Sword God. He seemed confused to face such a formidable opponent, unbearable by the heirloom weapons he relied on so much.
“Forced, I must use the gold nails,” muttered the Golden Sword God.
He threw his huge golden sword at his sharp eyes. Soon he was getting ready to issue the 'Thousand Golden Spikes' style'. While shouting out loud, the Golden Sword God moved swiftly throwing out the golden spikes that became his highly reliable secret weapon.
It's strange! The wild man Buto Dungkul did not budge in the least. The golden spikes slid down swiftly smashing into the huge tall body like that of a giant. Again the Golden Sword God was widened. The gold spikes thrown using the Thousand Gold Spikes style did not hurt his opponent in the least. The golden spikes that contained powerful poison, fell out just like that after hitting the body of Buto Dungkul.
“Spend all the knowledge you have, boy!” ejek Buto Dungkul.
“Beched!” the Gold Sword God was infuriated.
"Why bengong? Don't you have any more science?"
The Golden Sword God did not reply. His brain thought hard to find a way to defeat this giant man. His eyes glanced at Nyi Rongkot, the Serpent Feminine who stood smiling. The Golden Sword God's heart became hot as his eyes pounded on a slender figure lying near the feet of the Serpent Feminine.
"Devil! Apparently he had succeeded in kidnapping Sekar Telasih. Hm, what is the fate of Rangkuti and the Angel Shadow? Are they dead?" The Golden Sword God wondered to himself with a furious heart.
“Quite your time to think, Golden Sword God. Get ready to go to hell!” sentak Buto Dungkul's.
As soon as he finished saying, a huge mace full of thorns was being mentioned above the head. The sound of the wind roaring deafeningly. So much energy possessed by the wild man, that in an instant the place was like a terrible typhoon.
As fast as lightning Buto Dungkul ran while swinging his large thorny mace. The Golden Sword God leaped to the side avoiding the slash of a mace as big as his own thigh. The earth trembled as soon as the mace struck where the Sword God stood just now.
⁇ "Graaagh...!" Buto Dungkul roared fiercely.
Back swinging his tone strongly. Back the Golden Sword God jumped up yet this time the Shoveled Gob's legs swung rapidly almost simultaneously with the swing of the mace. The Golden Sword God who was too focused on the opponent's weapon did not expect that the legs of Buto Dungkul floated.
Buk up!
It was extremely hard that a giant wild human's foot smashed into the waist of the Golden Sword God. No doubt the Golden Sword God's body fell to the ground. Not yet had time to improve, the huge thorny mace had swung profusely towards him.
"Aaakh..!” The Golden Sword God let out a loud scream. His left leg was immediately crushed by the impact of Buto Dungkul. Blood spurt from the crushed leg.
Buto Dungkul again swung his rock. Prak! This Golden Sword God could no longer make a sound. His head was instantly shattered by the violent lashing of the Buto Dungkul thorny mace. The Golden Sword God's body was sprawling lifelessly again.
Buto Dungkul laughed again. His laughter stopped as soon as his body turned around. A large mace full of thorns shouldered on the shoulders. His big red eyes stared intently at Nyi Rongkot.
“You've arrived, Rongkot?” the voice of Buto Dungkul sounded heavy thundering.
“I came to bring a gift for you," Nyi Rongkot pointed at Sekar Telasih who was still lying limp on the ground.
“Sekar Telasih..!” the eyes of the Shining Gob. In a hurry he approached.
“Wait!” prevent Nyi Rongkot.
Buto Dungkul stopped his steps instantly. The distance between him and Sekar Telasih was only four steps away. His eyes immediately looked at Nyi Rongkot who was standing right in front of him beside Sekar Telasih who was lying on the ground. He looked back at the girl. His forehead is a bit wrinkled.
“She, she's dead...?" his voice was a bit raucous.
“No. Just fainted,” said Nyi Rongkot
"Then why are you blocking me?" Buto Dungkul looked at the Female Snake with a sharp look of not understanding.
"It's not time you touched my daughter."
“Rongkot! You promised you'd give me Sekar Telasih. I gave you the Book of the Red Dragon. And you've mastered it, why still block me?”
"There's still one more condition you haven't done."
"Kill the old Bangka Rangkuti? Ha ha ha.... With just one eye I can send him to hell'"
“Why don't you do it?"
"No! I have to keep my own promise. It's not time I killed that old fucker!"
"Then you're not the time to touch my daughter either.”
"You're crafty, Rongkot!” the Dungkul Buto Dengus.
“More cunning you are, Buto Dungkul. You've given me immune science still want my daughter.”
“Huh!” Buto Dungkul only snorted.
“eah! While waiting for the time of your agreement, during that time I will not allow you to disturb Sekar Telasih.”
"Alright," said Buto Dungkul resigned.
Nyi Rongkot smiled in satisfaction. Then he again leaned Sekar Telasih's body on his shoulders. His legs began to swing stepping in accompanied by the wild man Buto Dungkul. They stepped more and more into the dense Ivory Forest that was never touched by humans. Forests that are always shunned by the people around them.
********************
Meanwhile Ki Rangkuti was pensive on the front porch of his house. In front of him sat the Angel Shadow. Since the funeral of Darmasaka Ki Rangkuti looks more silent pensive. It is hard to lose a single son who is being prepared to become a swordsman. Especially now that he also lost the adopted son of a beautiful girl who was taken care of since she was a baby.
Not to mention he had to prepare himself to face the challenge of Buto Dungkul who was immune to all kinds of heirloom weapons. Shadow Angel who knows exactly the problems his friend is facing, can not leave him alone Where Ki Rangkuti went, he always accompanied. They are really true friends.
"Not yet" said the Shadow Angel. ''But I've sent some of Padepokan Jatiwangi's chosen students to check around the Ivory Forest. "
"How many people did you send?"
"Just ten."
Ki Rangkuti gave a long sigh.
"I don't want to risk losing a lot of people. The forest is very dangerous, it's still a good thing if you don't meet the wild man."
''Thank you.”
"Don't thank me. I only do what I can,” Shadow Angel is low.
Ki Rangkuti smiled wryly. But his smile suddenly disappeared when his eyes saw ten horsemen coming. They immediately descended from their respective horses after arriving in front of the house of the Village Chief Jatiwangi.
Ki Rangkuti and Shadow Angel stood up and walked out of the veranda to the ten people who came. They were the disciples of Padepokan Jatiwangi. The one that runs the front, the tall strapping man with the thick mustache. He was one of the teachers of the Kanuragan
"How, Sayuti?" ki Rangkuti asked impatiently.
⁇ “We only found his body, Ki,” said Sayuti who became the leader in the search for the Golden Sword God in addition as a teacher teaching kanuragan in Padepokan Jatiwangi.
“You mean...?” Ki Rangkuti could no longer continue his question.
“Golden Sword God died in the middle of Ivory Forest.”
“Jagat Dewa Batara..,” Ki Rangkuti complained softly.
He lifted his head and turned to the Angel Shadow. A pair of her eyes glazed over. Ki Rangkuti was really devastated to hear the death of his sidekick. True friends die defending the purity of friendship. The Golden Sword God risked his life for the honor of his best friend Ki Rangkuti.
“How about Sekar Telasih?” ask the Shadow of Angels
“We did not find Nini Sekar Telasih. Just this,” Sayuti hand over the light blue fabric.
Ki Rangkuti picked up the headband cloth that Sekar Telasih used to wear. The former head of Jatiwangi Village, a warrior, could no longer hide his sadness. She turned around and stepped inside the house Her tears could no longer be held back. Sekar Telasih's headband was kissed several times..
Shadow Angel and the other ten people could only look on with feelings of sadness. Never had they seen Ki Rangkuti so sad that he shed tears. The incident that happened to Ki Rangkuti really can not be controlled anymore. Suddenly he broke his heart and lost loved ones in a row.
“You didn't find Nini's body?” asked Shadow Angel half-whispered.
“Not Only that I found,” Sayuti said.
“Didn't find trace?”
Sayuti shook her head.
“Hhh....,” Shadow Angel takes a deep breath.
“Around the place looks like a battle happened. There I also found the headband Nini Sekar Telasih.”
“Alright thank you,” said Shadow Angel, “I trust you arrange a guard for the security of this village.”
Sayuti bowed a little and then invited the others to leave the place. They led each horse back to the paddock. The shadow of the Angel still stands long enough in front of the veranda of the house. He briefly took a deep breath and then his legs swung about to leave.
Just now he was stepping three acts of his ears hearing the sound of footsteps behind. The shadow of the Angel stopped and looked. His forehead was slightly wrinkled to see Ki Rangkuti walking outside in the full outfit of a swordsman. The tight-fitting white clothes formed his burly body. A sword hung on his waist.
“Where are you going?” asked the Angel Shadow after Ki Rangkuti was in front of him.
“Kill those demons!” suhut Ki Rangkuti cold.
“Think about Rangkuti first. I do not doubt your devotion but the two of them are not people who can be underestimated. I don't want to lose another friend. Stay you're my only friend in this world, Rangkuti,” Shadow Angel tries to ease the sense of revenge in the heart of the Village Chief Jatiwangi.
“They have taken away the people I love!”
“I understand I know. I can also feel what you are feeling right now. But try to act with a cool head. Don't share your anger and resentment. I'm sure Sekar Telasih was not killed. He must be alive.”
“They must die. My son's life they must redeem!”
“Darmasaka died defending the truth. You should be proud to have a warrior son. It's wrong to regret his death. Instead you should be proud of Rangkuti. Darmasaka died defending your honor!”
Ki Rangkuti was silent. The words of the Angel Shadow hit the center of his heart. He should indeed be proud of Darmasaka who died as a warrior Not daunted to face the enemy despite knowing his level is much higher. His son did not die in vain. He died defending family honor.
“Perform your Steel Coral Punch science first. I think three full moons is enough for you to perfect that science,” said Shadow Angel.
Ki Rangkuti looked at the Angel Shadow with my eyes. His lips twitched as if he wanted to say something. But no words were spoken. Suddenly he embraced his best friend tightly. Shadow Angel patted Ki Rangkuti on the back.
“I will always be beside you Friend.” whispered Shadow Angel.
“You are truly my true friend,” reply Ki Rangkuti lirih.
“Already, I myself will perfect the science of the Shadow of Death. We can unite to defeat them.”
Ki Rangkuti smiled full haru. In friendship, there are many tests. Such an event is a great test of friendship. If necessary, lives will be sacrificed for pure and true friendship.
They hugged warmly for a long time. Then the Angel Shadow released a hug slowly. For a moment they just looked at each other. Then slowly stepped towards the large house that now seemed quiet silent.
“I will provide a special room for you to meditate,” said Ki Rangkuti.
“Thank you the science of the Shadow of Death cannot be trained in the room. I will train in the countryside every night,” said Shadow Angel.
“Sorry, I forgot.”
The shadow of the Angel only smiled faintly.
“You sure Sekar Telasih is okay?” asked Ki Rangkuti still thinking about the safety of his adopted son.
“I'm sure. Although the Female Snake is on a perverted path it is impossible to harm her own child.”
“Yes, it if not with Buto Dungkul,” sigh Ki Rangkuti. Heavy.
“Do not think too much even if he is wild, can still obey promises. You remember Mahesa's agreement***** right?”
“Ya.”
“Well! that's one proof that Buto Dungkul always obeys his agreement.”
A little calm Ki Rangkuti's heart. But not entirely so. However, he still thinks about the safety of Sekar Telasih's life. The girl does not yet know the intricacies of the peasant jungle. Although it has got a slab in various sports science, but the level is clearly still far less when compared to Buto Dungkul and the Female Snake.
