Santika's body bounced violently sliding past the top of the trees. And when his body was slumping, a shadow flashed quickly grabbed Santika's body, then disappeared like a ray that vanished without a trace.
Meanwhile, the One Eye Demon's body also jumped hard into the stone wall to cause a terrible impact. The body of the One-Eye Demon did not move for a moment, then it was seen that he was twisting his head for a while while trying to get up. His body staggered, and was slowly able to stand back up straight. His mouth was full of blood, and from his nose was flowing blackish blood.
"You okay?" asked Banulaga who immediately approached once the body of Satan's One Eye hit the stone wall.
"No," said Satan's One Eye. "How's Santika?"
"Lost."
"Missed...?"
"Yes, someone has grabbed her body and taken her away."
"Then, Mega Lembayung?"
Banulaga gasped in shock, then....
"Aach...!"
Banulaga. Just now he turned his head towards Mega Lembayung, an accomplice collapsed with a dagger stuck in his neck. Then the black masked body grabbed the body of Mega Lembayung. Banulaga held back his wrath, the Black Masked Man appeared again. This time he carried the body of the girl he had been after all this time. The three remaining accomplices were only glued to see the Black Masked Man shouldering the body of Mega Lembayung at high speed
"Less asar!" The One Eye Demon cursed without being able to do anything.
Banulaga and the One Eye Demon really felt being played with. Two people appeared at once unexpectedly and thwarted his intentions.
"I'm sure, the Swordsman Rajawali Sakti who grabbed Santika's body earlier. This time two of our enemies came at the same time, the Swordsman of the Milky Way and the Black Masked Man." Banulaga spoke with his lips tight and teeth chattering to hold back the growl.
"God! Hurry up and find Mega Lembayung!" banulaga snapped at his men. The three ruled men moved swiftly towards the Mega Lembayung that was carried away by the Black Masked Man. They could do nothing but carry out their master's orders, even though their guts were completely gone.
"I'm afraid you've got serious internal injuries" Banulaga said after they stayed together.
"I'm fine. I was worried about Santika's safety" said Satan Eye One.
"****** I don't care!" dengus Banulaga's.
"She's your sister, Banulaga. I'm sorry I put out the 'Sudra Coral Punch.' Ajian is very terrible, so far no one has been able to survive exposed to the study."
"Ah, stop. What matters now is that we have to get Mega Lembayung" Banulaga said, no longer concerned about Santika
"You're the one looking. I want to meditate in these three days," the One-Eye Satan.
Banulaga gawked at Seta Mata Satu's rejection. He could do nothing to see the big tall man pass from before him. Banulaga stomped his feet in annoyance after the back of the One Eye Demon vanished behind the grove of trees.
"Huh! Why don't I just kill Santika!" the Banulaga grunts were fierce.
Banulaga turned his body his feet swung toward the horse that was tethered to the tree. He knew the horse belonged to Santika. A burly brown horse presents from his father when Santika passes the first-rate exam in canuragan science.
For a moment Banulaga was stunned to hold the horse harness owned by his sister. He still could not understand, how Santika who from childhood learned the science of canuragan and magic in the same teacher, was able to match the level of intelligence of the One Eye Demon. Moreover, when he saw Santika issuing a study of 'Bracelet to Smell Lightning'. Because as long as he knows, Santika has never studied the science. And that white marble bracelet...? Didn't the magic bracelet belong to their father? He had no idea how Santika could get the heirloom that he had wanted as well.
"Hup!"
Banulaga jumped on the horse's back, then swatted him quickly leaving the edge of the lake to Malayasati Village. He spurred his horse like a stupor, until the dust billowed.
********************
No one knows where Santika and Mega Lembayung went to his helper. Also the half-dead Pak Karta is forced by Banulaga and his men to tell him where his grandson is now.
Pak Karta's face and body were covered in blood. Both of his hands were tied to the front porch of his house. His limp feet were no longer able to bear his body weight. His entire face had turned bluish and full of bruised bumps. His clothes were torn apart revealing skin that was covered with rattan lashes.
"It's easy for me to kill you, old man. It's as easy as turning my palm. But you're my future father-in-law, you'd be happy if Mega Lembayung was my wife. Tell me where your son is?" Banulaga tried to take the heart of Pak Karta.
Pak Karta remained silent. His head was helpless. He couldn't get a word out. Banulaga's words were lost in the wind. And Banulaga became angry.
"Where's Mega?" bentak Banulaga.
Slowly the head of Pak Karta was lifted, he seemed to get strength. But his eyes remained dim, even though behind it emanated rays of hatred that seeped to the bottom of his heart.
"Phoihi!"
Pak Karta spouted saliva mixed with blood from the oral cavity. Spit mixed with fresh and thick blood was right squirt to the face of Banulaga.
Banulaga gasped for a moment then his hand quickly floated to the wrinkled face several times. Fresh blood splashed and soaked Banulaga's hands. Then the old man's head fell back.
"Follow him, and drag him around the village! Let everyone know what it's like to dare to oppose Banulaga!"
Two men of stature immediately moved They untied the hand of the Pact of Karta, then tied it back with a long and strong mine. Another was ready on a horse's back with the end of the mine in his hand.
Banulaga jumped onto the back of his white horse. He briefly wiped away the remaining blood that was still on his face. Then with just one gesture, the person holding the end of the rope thrashed his horse following the fast-moving Banulaga horse.
The fate of the old man was really in the hands of Banulaga. He was dragged around the village with the eyes of the people who were so eager to see it. Those who saw him were only able to stroke his chest, unable to watch the poor old body for longer. No one can be sure whether the old body can still breathe. The blood and dust that had stuck together in his body could no longer recognize his condition
Suddenly the rope that bound the old man was cut off, as his dragged body passed through the edge of the forest. The old body rolled around with his hands still tightly bound. Banulaga's men who accompanied him immediately jumped down from his horse.
They immediately surrounded a body that was none other than the Black Masked Man. Their unsheathed banter was as ready to slash at the head of the Black Masked Man who was already standing near the body of the Parta pact lying helplessly.
"Hmmm.., in this way you just came manly, though you dare not show your real nose, Black Masked Man. I don't have to bother looking for you to avenge my father's death, nor your stupidity that failed to kill me."
"Shut your mouth, Banulaga! Later when the time comes, you will know who I really am. Now you're only brave with weak helpless people. Hm.., I want to know your true intelligence, Banulaga."
"Fuck up! Kill her!" Banulaga shouted loudly with boiling blood.
The Banulaga people who were besieging the Black Masked Man were moving fast But as fast as lightning, the Black Masked Man bounced into the air, then landed at a place quite far from the body of the Karta Pact. The banulaga people's banulaga's bursts just flashed slashing through the wind. Then it moved quickly towards the Black Masked Man who had stood back up.
"Whoaat... Hiya...!"
The Banulaga people immediately attacked the Black Masked Man. Getting consecutive attacks from all directions, the black masked person twitched and leaped while occasionally replying to attacks. The Black Masked Man fought without taking out his flagship dagger weapon. But until a few waves passed, not a single blade that flashed like lightning touched his skin.
Like lightning, his hand moved quickly to rob one of his closest braggarts. His quick hand movements were inevitable. One of the braggars let out a startled cry, and his machete soared into the air. He felt his wrist break and felt pain.
Not to mention he did something, suddenly next to the foot of the Black Masked Man landed right on the chest. No wonder the braggart whose guts are big enough to fall to the ground with his mouth spewing blood. And at the same time, another wags his machete from the left side. The masked man twisted his body with his legs swinging rapidly.
Buk up!
The foot of the masked man landed on the stomach, then his right hand curled the hand of the person holding the machete. With a single bend, the hand was broken. The black masked man's hand quickly grabbed the machete that was about to fall to the ground....
Beto!
"Aach...!" a shrill scream sounded. The black masked man quickly removed his narrows, and the attacker immediately collapsed with his neck almost blown off by his own machete which now changed hands. In one blow, two of his bullies lost their lives. There are six more people still besieging.
"Whether you go, I'm lazy to be a human butcher. Let your master finish his own business with me!" snorting the black masked man.
"Get down, kill him!" shouted Banulaga reign.
"Yeah...!"
Suddenly one of them jumped while waving his machete. The black masked man immediately twisted his torso slightly, the cleaver in his right hand he immediately swiveled towards the stomach. A groaning cry sounded slashing, followed by a collapsed body spurting fresh blood from its torn stomach. The black masked man crossed his booty machete in front of his chest.
"Seraa...!" Banulaga again ordered his men.
Immediately the remaining five people instantly slashed. This time it was clear that the Black Masked Man was no match for them. In a short time, two more people were bathed in blood.
Banulaga is starting to look like a coward. He immediately threw his horse out of the place. The masked man snorted in annoyance. The three people who were increasingly attacking him did not allow him to pursue Banulaga.
"Sorry, I have nothing to do with you!" exclaimed the Black Masked man, then his body bounces, rotates in the air, and lands right near the body of the Karta Pak. As fast as lightning he grabbed the helpless old body and carried it away leaving his opponents.
"Come, back!" yell one of the. The three people immediately jumped onto the backs of their horses, leaving behind five lifeless body figures. Some residents who saw the fight from a distance were so gripped, then breathed a sigh of relief when the old body of Pak Karta was struck quickly by its savior.
********************
Two days later, Pak Karta was unconscious. And now on the third day, he began to open his eyes slowly, then closed again when the sunlight that slipped from the door of the house hit his face. His head then began to look moving. His consciousness seemed to be recovering.
"Grandfather..," a subtle greeting sounded in his ear.
Slowly the eyelids of the frail old man opened. He saw a beautiful face that smiled gently in front of him. Pak Karta's lips then smiled shivering. For a moment his eyes stared fixedly at the face that had always given him hope and spirit of life.
"Mega...," sizzled Pak Karta weakly.
"Oh, Kek..," Mega Lembayung could no longer hold back his tears.
Mega dropped her face hugging the old man's body. At the same time the door was opened, then a handsome-looking body appeared approaching two people who were hugging each other.
"Have you kissed, Cake?" tanyanya gently.
Pak Karta smiled and nodded weakly looking at the handsome young man who was still standing beside the bamboo halls. His old eyes circled the scene that was in front of him. A bamboo walled room that is not so big, but looks clean and neat. His gaze then turned back on Mega's face and the handsome young man took turns.
"I'm sorry for my brother's harsh treatment, until Grandfather suffered such a miserable fate like this," the handsome young man said softly.
The head of Pak Karta shook weakly. Her pale lips revealed a smile. Slowly he was able to re-record the events that had happened to him. Previously he did not know anymore what had happened after a black shadow had lifted his body. And what he knows now, his body is falling weak, then his grandson Mega Lembayung and handsome young man who is none other than Santika are nearby.
"Where are we now, Mega?" pak Karta's voice asked weakly.
"In a safe place, Kek," said Mega softly.
Then seen by Pak Karta another figure who is also handsome face with his clothes in a white vest and a sword with the head of a bird that is none other than the Swordsman Rajawali Sakti.
"Thank you, you must have saved me" Mr. Karta said.
"Not me, Kek," said Rangga while turning his face to the face of Mega Lembayung, as if asking the grandson of Pak Karta to explain the real incident. Mega fast response.
"Sorry, Cake. It was someone dressed in black who brought Grandpa here. He was the one who helped me when me and Santika's brother were almost killed by Banulaga and his men, but I haven't had time to thank him, the man dressed in black has gone...," Mega explained in a clean manner.
"True, Cake," Santika continued. "And I am the one saved by this Swordsman Rajawali Sakti...." Santika then pointed to Rangga, the Swordsman Rajawali Sakti just smiled down, which was reciprocated by a nod and a thin smile Pak Karta.
"Thank you, Rangga. For the second time we owe you a debt of gratitude" said Pak Karta.
"It has become our duty to help others, Mother," Rangga said the same words when he first helped his grandfather and grandson.
Pak Karta returned with her smile. A moment ago a silent atmosphere enveloped them. The four people behind the bamboo booth were like they were contemplating what had happened....
The lips of Mr. Karta murmured softly, then his face looked towards Santika. Santika was then like waiting for what Pak Karta would say. But for a moment his lips locked, then his gaze turned to his grandson, Mega Lembayung.
"Santika's back helped a lot," said Mega Lembayung as if he knew what was implied in his grandfather's mind, "he has provided his room for me to hide until he is completely safe and calm...."
"Yes, Cake. I myself do not like the attitude of my father and Kakang Banulaga, and I do not want Mega Lembayung to be a victim of his satisfaction" continued Santika.
"It's all happened, I can't do anything anymore. Besides I thank you, Santika, and you, Rangga, I also thank the person who saved me from Banulaga's violent rampage and has tortured me. Please express my gratitude if you ever meet that person again...," Pak Karta ended her speech with a soft tone to hack.
"Our position is also getting more difficult, because Kakang Banulaga no longer considers me a brother. He already looked at me as his enemy," Santika let out her heart.
Rangga who had been silent more, no power to hold his heart.
"Yes, said Grandpa. I also understand your position, Santika," while Rangga turned to Santika's face, ". but we must keep fighting for truth and justice...."
Pak Karta, Mega Lembayung and Santika were surprised to hear it.
"Where are you going to go back?" tanya Mega Lembayung's
"Believe me, I will keep trying to fight with you, and I don't think we can give Banulaga a chance to regroup his strength." the three men were stunned for a moment, and their lips could not speak to see the departure of the Swordsman Rajawali Sakti.
For a while the three people who were in the bamboo room looked at each other. They confirmed Rangga's remark that there were many challenges they had to face, and they had to get ready again...
