The sky around the foot of the hill was cold. The wind blew quietly among the trees, as if to share its coolness with anyone he met. Watered by the morning sun, a figure of the middle body drove his horse tightly. A figure with a handsome face then slowed down the steps of his horse, then stopped under a shady tree scared him to see a slender body running towards him.
"Santika's back!" the slender body owner's ayu girl greeted him.
The young man jumped down from his horse. His hand reached the girl's shoulder. For a while they kept quiet while holding hands.
"Does that bother you while I'm gone, Mega?" ask Santika softly.
"No," said the girl who turned out to be Mega Lembayung. "Just...."
"What only?"
"My grandfather's house is always observed...."
"You recognize them?"
"Yes. Banulaga's People. Just someone I don't know "
Santika did not ask again. He knew who Mega Lembayung meant. He is the Serpent King. With some of his men Banulaga assigned the Serpent King to watch over the house of the Karta Pak. Banulaga was apparently still curious and thought the Swordsman Rajawali Sakti would appear again. Although Badrun's death is long gone. Santika himself only once met with Pendekar Rajawali Sakti. It was Mega who introduced him.
"Rear..," seemed hesitant Mega would say.
"What's wrong?" santika asked as her eyes looked softly at Mega's face which clearly looked anxious,
"I'm afraid our relationship is known to Banulaga. Moreover, I heard he was being overshadowed by the Black Masked Man. Also his revenge on the Swordsman Rajawali Sakti would certainly he vent to you, let alone he failed to get me."
"If he had known, I wouldn't have let you fall into his hands. Believe me Mega, I will face Banulaga, even though four powerful figures are now behind him."
"I believe it, Kakang. Unfortunately only…"
"Why...?"
Mega Lembayung had not yet opened his mouth, suddenly they were surprised by a spear that slid, stuck at the tip of Santika's feet. Not to mention the loss of their surprise, Banulaga suddenly appeared accompanied by Satan Eye One and five accomplices.
Santika pulled the hand of Mega Lembayung until his body was behind Santika's body. Santika stood with an attitude of waiting for what would happen.
"Santika, do you know who's behind you?" asked Banulaga coldly.
"Why are you asking that?" Santika is no longer reluctant to be challenging.
"Phoihi! How dare you act like that to me, Santika!?"
"I've not liked your attitude since. Sorry, I'm leaving."
Santika took Mega Lembayung's hand and took him away. But just a few steps, suddenly five armed machete already surrounded. Santika snorted to see the rough faces that he was familiar with. Faces that he did not like. Now they stand with the cleaver drawn like the enemy.
"Be careful, Mega. They have quite high intelligence" whispered Santika.
"I know, Kakang," said Mega also whispered.
"Leave Mega here, and you can go!" banulaga shouted without embarrassment anymore.
"Devil!" sumer Santika. "Banulaga, I'll hand Mega over if you can step over my body!"
"Children don't know they're lucky, how dare you challenge me, heh?!" banulaga. At once he also pulled out his twin pair of cleavers.
"You, Banulaga!" challenge Santika.
Banulaga gestured to the five men who locked up Santika and Mega. At once they also jumped while wagging his machete. Santika who have memorized their level of intelligence is no longer hesitant. He directly deployed the 'Dragon Score Flashing Coral Mountain' style'.
Santika's punches are so fast and change direction. Each blow that was launched gave a strong wind thrust and a bone-chilling chill. One of his opponents who was determined to go forward, no doubt his body was thrown backwards, then collapsed on his back. The other four were hesitant to launch their attacks. Santika's powerful punches made the vicinity of the fight a mess. The crushed stones were hit by a stray blow, and the dust flew out to block the eye.
"Reuters, Kakang...!" suddenly Mega Lembayung screamed loudly.
Instantly, Santika also ducked as she felt a rushing wind coming from behind her. And a machete flashed swiftly on top of his head. Along with that his left hand moved quickly like lightning and hit the belly of the buttress.
"Huk!" the man complained short. His body is stretched backwards.
Without wasting another chance Santika exerted his inner strength with a flick of his foot towards the chest. The man who was backing him fell backwards, then collapsed after his back hit a big tree to the point of shaking. From his nose and mouth, fresh blood. He squirmed for a moment, then remained motionless.
********************
The four people who were already daunted against Santika, immediately jumped back. The One-Eye Demon bounces and bersalto in the air, spins twice, then lands exactly a few steps ahead of Santika. His eyeballs that lived next door crawled Santika and Mega Lembayung alternately.
"I'm asking you to give in to your sister, Santika," said the One-Eyed Demon.
"I also ask you not to interfere in this matter, One-Eye Demon," Santika replied coldly.
"Hm.., I won't interfere if you don't kill my people."
"Those who forced me to kill!"
"Listen, Santika. Banulaga is your brother, he controls this Malayasati Village. Mega should devote himself to the ruler where he lives. His parents worked in the Banulaga field. Santika, you shouldn't be hindering your sister's intentions."
"You're good at talking, Satan's One Eye. I'm not willing to give up my lover just to be eaten by wild humans like animals! Again, don't you interfere in this business, you better find your missing eye seeds next door!"
The deg!
The heart of the One-eyed Demon Hot instantly received such humiliation. But he can still be aware of the circumstances.
"All right, if that's what you want. Don't blame me if you get all wrong in my hands, Santika," The One-Eye Demon can still speak coldly and flatly.
Santika removed her pair of marble bracelets. Both of his hands were now clutching those shiny white bracelets. He knew exactly who he was going to face now. A half-demon human who wouldn't blink killed people. Santika also realized that he would not be able to match the One-Eye Demon. But for the sake of the girl he loved, he was willing to risk his life.
Suddenly the One-Eye Demon fluttered his hand forward, and at once shot a golden beam of light from his palm. Santika jumped while pushing Mega Lembayung's body. The light hit an empty place. Santika rolled on the ground, and as fast as lightning she got back up. While Mega Lembayung separated a few steps to his right.
The One Eye Demon again launched an attack. Santika leapt away from the golden rays that shot out from the palm of the One-Eye Demon. Santika realized that his strength would not be able to continue to survive leaping to avoid the attack of the One Eye Demon which is very intense and dangerous.
"Well...!"
Just then also his body bounces and rotates in the air three times. With one powerful boost of her inner strength, Santika slid down heavily with both hands clenched forward. His entire fingers were shielded by a white marble bracelet.
"Uts!"
The One-Eye Demon shifted its legs to the side while tilting its body to avoid Santika's lunge. But he had not been able to improve his position, suddenly Santika turned quickly with his arms outstretched. The One Eye Demon was startled, then quickly he slammed himself onto the ground while continuing to roll away.
The One Eye Demon performed a salto and rose to his feet. But as soon as her foot was on the ground, Santika was back to attack with quick short moves towards her opponent, until Satan Eye One did not think that Santika who is young and looks weak has a silat science that is quite high. The movements of each movement he issued so difficult to follow the eye view.
"Hup!"
The One-Eye Demon leapt upwards, then spun twice while throwing back an attack of golden rays that shot out from his hand. As Santika avoided the spewing of light from above by falling awake, suddenly the One Eye Demon swooped down quickly while sending out its death blow.
Santika could no longer dodge, as quickly as lightning raised his right hand to intercept the fatal blow. Santika was strung about two spears backwards, and Satan's One Eye itself rolled on the ground as it was pushed by Santika's hand. In an instant, they faced each other.
"Hmmm..," The One Eye Demon muttered softly.
He did not expect Santika would be able to intercept his punch, even without the slightest injury. Santika still looks strong. The One Eye Demon did not expect that his much younger opponent was able to match him by more than twenty moves.
"Why stop, One-Eye Demon? Are you daunted and afraid of losing your only living eye?" ejek Santika is heating up.
"Phoihi! Less stingy, you dare insult me, heh?! Don't worry, Santika, everything I put out there hasn't been a fingernail!" the snort of Demon One's eyes covered his shock.
"Then, let's get all your science out!" back Santika defiantly.
"Hold the 'Blow of my Ocean Coral!" snapped the Devil's Eye One.
The One-Eye Demon instantly stretched his legs wide, then both of his knees bent. Both hands crossed in front of his chest. Then slowly his hands moved open, along with the narrowing of both legs. It appeared that the two hands of the One-Eye Demon turned red smouldering like they were burning.
Santika did not stay silent to see his opponent really let out his ultimate style. Santika soon finished the 'Bracelet Choking Lightning'. He rubbed both of his white marble bracelets. Instantly also the bracelet in his hand emitted a green glow that increasingly dazzled and saddened the eyes.
"Yeah...!" The One Eye Demon shouted out loud.
"Whoever..!" Santika also started attacking.
They jumped forwards almost simultaneously, and finally both pairs of their hands clashed against each other violently. The sound of a violent explosion rang out breaking the air. Fireflowers splashed in all directions. And the bodies of Santika and Satan's One Eye bounced back to each other violently.
"The back...!" Mega Lembayung's screams shrill.
