Rangga or Pendekar Rajawali Sakti has not yet gone far, when suddenly six people with unsheathed cleaver have surrounded him. Rangga's blood rippled quickly, his eyes immediately swept his besieging face one by one, he saw hard faces and sangar was looking at him sharply. Rangga's face stiffened for a moment, then turned shady again. A faint smile fell on his lips.
"I'm going to Malayasati Village, what business are you doing blocking my steps?" rangga asked calmly, although his instinct stated that they were Banulaga people, which of course the intent was predictable.
"Hmmm... are you the Swordsman Rajawali Sakti?" ask the besieger who is right in front of Rangga. The man did not seem to need an answer, he immediately connected his own question, "Behold, my master does not want anyone else, let alone you who are clearly not this village person, to interfere in his personal affairs."
Rangga smiled mockingly. "You're a dumb smart, apparently. People who have personal affairs will certainly not tell others. And I don't care about your employer's business, but cruelty and injustice I won't let run rampant in front of me,... Get away from you, so that my hand will no longer take away the lives of those fools who can only obey their master's orders."
"Less asar! Apparently you can't be spoken to properly, now accept your death!" the man shouted loudly, as his right hand was raised giving orders to the other five to attack.
With both feet Rangga jumped, his body floated momentarily avoiding the swift fluttering of a machete, then salted twice before his feet landed right behind the backs of his opponents. With the pedestal of his right foot Rangga twisted his body a little, then as fast as lightning his legs jumped to hit the backs of two people at once.
Two people who were hit by a kick on his back, his fate was so terrible, their bodies were pushed forward hit by a sabetage of his own friend. One of them had his face smashed by a slash of a machete slashing his mouth and temples, while the other groaned for a moment when his neck was about to break, then collapsed motionless.
The other four were stunned, with horror on their faces, let alone two of them whose machetes were covered in blood. Two of their friends were killed in just one incident. Then like a grudge burned, they again attacked Rangga. As fast as lightning Rangga subdued his body, his hand moved to grab the right wrist of the front person, then with a bend of the hand accompanied by his leg, his legs, he threw his opponent's body right into the chest of a friend.
The bodies of the two men instantly collapsed to the ground. And at that moment, Rangga bent his body avoiding the fluttering of another machete from behind, while his left leg gnashed the opponent's knee, and the man fell down with his head smashed first into the ground, and soon Rangga realized that there was still another who just stood there without doing anything to see his friends collapsed helplessly.
"Hmmm..," Rangga stared intently at the one who remained, "you are apparently acting knightly.., willing to face me manly without any wiggle...,"
"Wait," the man standing there opened his mouth. "I stand on the side of truth and justice, even though I'm just the slobber of Banulaga," the person again made a voice regardless of Rangga who was still silently glued.
"Who are you?" ask Rangga politely.
"Be careful, Rangga." The man did not reply, "four great figures are now behind Banulaga." A moment later the man stared fixedly at Rangga.
Rangga gasped for a moment, as his brain began to find a bright spot. This person must be the Black Masked Man who is now in his true form.
"And remember!" the man said, "Banulaga's death is my part!" The person then flashed quickly leaving Rangga and the other five bodies lying lifeless.
For a few moments Rangga was stunned. He knew for a fact that it was the Black Masked Man Banulaga and his men were hunting after Badaraka's death.
"The...!"
A reprimand shocked him, then Rangga turned his head, he saw Santika and Mega Lembayung were running closer to him.
Santika and Mega Lembayung were stunned to see the bodies were scattered horribly. Then slowly the faces of the two lifted looking at Rangga. They understand what has happened. Because shortly after Rangga's feet stepped out of the bamboo room, they had seen several body figures overshadowing the departure of the Swordsman Rajawali Sakti, they had seen, but they could not do much to realize the condition of the old body of the weak Pact Karta.
"Mega and Santika, please take care of their corpses," Rangga said softly, then his body moved quickly away from the place. Mega and Santika only had time to look at the back of the Swordsman Rajawali Sakti.
If Rangga wanted to explain everything that had happened, Santika would not be curious again if he knew who the real Black Masked Man was, because as said by the person himself, he would not be curious anymore, he is now the granddaughter of Banulaga, Santika's sister.
Santika was then surprised when his eyes were pounded on a familiar body, the body of Tarsa, his loyal assistant and now lying lifeless. His blood then rippled, he knew for sure, Tarsa certainly could not refuse the orders of Banulaga, who led him to meet the fate of fate.
The sun began to set on the western horizon. The wind began to blow coldly accompanying the two people who were taking care of the corpses.
********************
That morning the air was so cool that it touched the pores of the skin, the sun was blocked by thin clouds and gentle breeze, making the people in Malayasati Village like they were enjoying peace and tranquility.
A sturdy and handsome figure looks like he is swinging his steps lightly and calmly. The white vest he always wore, caught the attention of the people on the road he passed. Every step was like leaving a question mark, the Swordsman Rajawali Sakti the owner of a body was quickly realized. His condition made the people in this village want to wear clothes that were as good as his. Rangga also stepped his feet faster, then his legs turned stepped into a shop that looks beautiful. In front of him a large building as if standing tall defiantly. The large building was a large house with thick high walls resembling a fortress.
From his seat Rangga briefly stared at the gate of the house, then his eyes turned back to the shopkeeper, a young woman with strokes on her face that still implied motherhood. Rangga then ordered a jar of wine.
"Wait a minute, can you accompany me to sit here?" pinta Rangga saw the woman was about to leave.
The woman did not answer. He sat down in front of Rangga. Just a small wooden table confines the two. For a moment Rangga noticed the woman in front of him who was now bowed.
"What's your name?" ask Rangga.
"Kanti" he said slowly. His lips revealed a faint smile that was forced.
"You're the villagers?" ask Rangga again.
Slowly Kanti's head was raised. His eyes looked at Rangga's eyeballs Then his head shook slowly, fear and anxiety clearly visible on his face.
"You're not here either?" asked Kanti lirih, after a while she was silent.
"Yes, it's just a coincidence that I'm passing through here" said Rangga while inviting Kanti to smile.
"Then you better get going." Rangga was surprised, he saw the face of Kanti who turned to and fro like she was afraid that someone might catch her.
"Why?"
"The Great Lord has ordered that any newcomer who has no family here should be expelled. Otherwise, it will be killed," Kanti explained in half a whisper.
"Big Master! Who's she?"
"Mr Banulaga, the ruler of Malayasati Village. He had all the taverns and inns here, as well as most of the village land. He's like a little king whose orders must be obeyed."
Rangga nodded his head. Then from the corner of his tail he saw the gate of the mansion open. Then came five horsemen who were followed by no less than ten other horsemen. They're moving straight east.
"The one in front is Mr. Banulaga," said Kanti like know the way of mind Rangga who is still seen looking at the riding troupe with the corner of the tail of his eyes.
"Hmmm.., still young and handsome," muttered Rangga.
"Yes, it is handsome, but cruel," Kanti's voice was distressed.
"The other one?" Rangga was interested to know.
"Those four people, the Great Lord's special invitation. They are all highly educated and powerful. While the others are only Banulaga's accomplices, which he uses to blackmail the population and find his favorite beautiful women. They are sadistic and cruel."
"It seems you know exactly" murmured Rangga. His eyes looked straight at the young lady before him.
Kanti was stared at so, so lowered her face deeply. It was like there was sadness in grief that was resonating in his chest. Then perlaha land he raised his face, looked at Rangga for a moment, then....
"Two years I was held there. During that time I had to serve their demonic lust. Well.., once I'm no longer needed, I'm dumped and dumped here. I should be relieved to get out of hell, but here is also no less terrible. I'm like their milk cow, I don't know how many men fucked me."
"You're not in a fight? Escape, for example?"
"For what? Free, Banulaga seemed to have a thousand eyes and Jala that could not be passed just like that, once they fled. The gallows wait, or become a meal of venomous snakes."
The blood of Rangga rippled to hear so far the treatment of Banulaga and his people against the helpless population.
"Sant...!" suddenly there was a loud scream.
Rangga and Kanti quickly turned to the direction the voice came from. A large tall man full of rowdy stares at the waist staring intently at Rangga and Kanti.
"Celaka,..," Kanti sighed with her deathly pale face.
"Who is he?" asked Rangga who saw Kanti so frightened, then his eyes turned to a large tall body.
"He.., Suro Bledek. He's Mr. Banulaga's confidant who runs all the lodging houses and taverns, as well as the gambling houses in this village."
The tall, rough-faced man stepped closer. With a rude jolt he snatched Kanti's hand, until the woman staggered, then with one strong thrust of her hand she slammed Kanti's body into the ground. And he had not yet woken up, the poor woman was about to be kicked, but suddenly...
"Aach...!" Suro Bledek screamed loudly.
"Monkey slouch!" maki Suro Bledek fierce.
Sreth!
Suro Bledek pulled out his big, shiny machete. With a loud cry he flicked his machete towards Rangga's neck. Just by slightly pulling his body back, the Rangga dodged the slash of the machete. His lips smiled mockingly, which provoked back Suro Bledek's fury.
Failing to slash Rangga's neck, Suro Bledek groaned long, then with quick movements, he revitalized his machete to some parts of the body of the Swordsman Rajawali Sakti. Rangga just dodged without changing his body position avoiding the onslaught of Suro Bledek. Even on one occasion, with the base of his right hand open he hit hard on his opponent's right hand so that his cleaver came off.
Not to mention Suro Bledek realized the situation, suddenly Rangga's right hand blocked his hand with a pull forward, his body pushed forward was blocked with a powerful knee hit right about his heart, his heart, then it fell to the ground.
"barrier!" furious Suro Bledek as he rose up, his endurance is extraordinary.
His anger could no longer be controlled, he could no longer see who he was facing, with a loud snort he leapt at the Swordsman Rajawali Sakti. The slow movements and lunge of his body could easily be broken by Rangga. Suro Bledek's body fell back to the back of the table until it was shattered, when Rangga's right hand hit his chest again. His strength that only relied on outside power was unable to match the Swordsman Rajawali Sakti.
"The will!" grunts Rangga as soon as he saw Suro Bledek was about to lung again.
This time Rangga no longer gave heart. As soon as Suro Bledek's attack came, he quickly bent his body past his opponent's armpit, and quickly hit his left hand on the nape of the neck, followed by his left knee hitting the stomach. Not yet Suro Bledek did anything, Rangga had leaked his head with the style of 'Kawali Claws'.
Bles!
"Aach...!" Suro Bledek groaned long. For a moment the tall, large man spun around holding onto his leaking and cracked head. Blood spewed out seeping through his fingers, then his body collapsed to the ground. Only a moment Suro Bledek had time to wriggle, and then did not move anymore.
Rangga looked around him, looking like people were swarming around watching the unbalanced fight. While Kanti was standing in the corner with a body shivering in fear
"Master..," call Kanti quiver as soon as Rangga steps her legs out.
Rangga stopped his steps and looked over. Kanti rushed over with her rushing tears drenching her reddish-white cheeks. His eyes seemed to be begging for protection.
"Please help me, sir. They will definitely kill me. Please, sir..," Pinta Kanti said.
Rangga took a deep breath. He could understand the standing of this woman now, let alone the pair of eyes had seen her fight with Suro Bledek. The warrior Rajawali Sakti then nodded slowly.
Without saying a word, he grabbed Kanti's hand leaving the tavern and the silent people stared at her. Rangga walked quickly, so Kanti had to run around a little to compensate.
The people around the shop soon left. No one wants to risk getting beaten up by Banulaga and his people to tell the story and show where Kanti and Pendekar Rajawali Sakti are.
********************
Banulaga held back his anger and hard to accept the fact that Suro Bledek, one of his confidants, was killed horribly. His enemies had begun to blatantly undermine his authority in front of the crowd. Because after all this incident will make the guts of Malayasati Village residents rise, and it means it will destroy his power slowly but surely. Only a fool would want his power destroyed.
When Banulaga was overwhelmed with excitement, Japra suddenly appeared, one of whom he told to trace the footsteps of Santika, Mega Lembayung, and Pendekar Rajawali Sakti. Japra immediately bowed his body, then trembling he said.
"I'm sorry, my Lord, the Swordsman Rajawali Sakti. he is in the house of Pak Karta."
Banulaga's eyes turned red instantly, his countenance stiffened. Shown back by him the face of Badrun who was killed.... Then he himself could not do much against the warrior. Banulaga's mouth was then covered with his teeth shaking violently.
"Where are the other five?" asked the One Eye Demon to break the tense atmosphere.
"They're all dead, sir.... I myself did not have time to carry Mega, because it was blocked by Santika and Black Masked Man. While the Swordsman Rajawali Sakti was unable to be snatched by Tarsa and the others, instead the five people then lay one by one with daggers stuck in his neck."
The atmosphere was silent for a moment, Banulaga and Resi Maespati and the three other powerful figures looked at each other.
"He must die. Many of my men have died at his hands" Banulaga exclaimed.
"Santika, Mega and Pak Karta then take a separate path, Mr..., only Pendekar Rajawali Sakti and. well, Kanti, Tuan. is in the house of Pak Karta," Japra again explained with trembling knees.
"Then let me snatch the monkey myself!" grunts Satan's One Eye.
"get up, bring his head here!" The One-Eye Demon did not say much anymore. He immediately stepped away accompanied by a view of Banulaga's eyes. Soon Banulaga looked towards Japra.
"Follow the One-Eye Demon, and immediately tell the result!" banulaga's orders.
"Well, sir," Japra immediately followed the footsteps of the One-Eye Demon from a distance.
Banulaga then looked blankly back forward. His mind glared far away, imagining what would happen. He did not doubt the One Eye Demon's magic. But he was worried, because what he would face was a swordsman who chose a match that was difficult to measure his level of intelligence. And so he told Japra to watch him from a distance. He did not want the casualties on his side to increase, then his opponent was free to roam about humiliating and harassing his power in the eyes of the populace without him alone being able to subdue him directly.
Banulaga's eyes then looked at the Serpent King who was standing leaning on the front porch pillar. Banulaga walked over to the One-Eyed Demon elder brother, while the Maespati Rishis and the Poisonous Demon Force were just watching from his seat. Resi Maespati's face looked so calm, as if nothing was happening. And no one knows, if the conversation with Santika a little affect the self of the rishi.
"You're not going with the One-Eyed Demon, the Snake King?" ask Banulaga. His tone hoped that the Snake King would participate in facing the Swordsman Rajawali Sakti, so that he was not so anxious about facing other possibilities.
"Don't doubt my sister. Just wait, he must have come with your ordered head," said the Snake King calmly.
"Absolutely I'm not suspicious, it's just...." Banulaga did not continue his speech.
The Snake King stared intently. His forehead is slightly wrinkled.
"He almost lost the fight against Santika!" Banulaga expressed his anxiety.
"Imust be!" snorting the Serpent King.
"You can ask yourself later if the One-Eye Demon is safe."
The Serpent King said nothing more, except that his eyes stared intently at Banulaga who immediately left him to enter the house. Really he does not believe that Satan Mata Satu almost lost against Santika, who has not much experience in the martial jungle. Ah, it is possible that the One-Eye Demon succumbed because the one facing still counted his own master, the Snake King consoled himself.
The Snake King calmed down again. He actually thought that Banulaga himself was afraid, then turned the real situation around.
"Hhh..," the Serpent King let out a long sigh, then his feet stepped across the spacious courtyard of the house towards the gate guarded by six men armed with machetes and spears. Two people immediately opened the door to see the Snake King approaching. The others bowed their bodies.
"You two come with me" said the Snake King pointing at the two people who opened the door.
"Where, sir?" ask one of the.
"Search for entertainment."
The two people looked at each other, then nodded while following the Snake King's footsteps.
"Hey, where are you going?" ask one of the people left.
"Don't ask too many questions, you take care!" snarled the Snake King without looking.
The two people who followed him smiled happily.
"Where is the best place?" ask the Snake King to remain without looking.
"I know, sir," said one of the young men with chirped hair.
"You go first."
"yes, sir."
The two men preceded walking in front, but the Snake King pulled him instead. And they went with the Serpent King in the middle like a king. Everyone who passed by immediately stepped aside while bowing their bodies saluted.
"He he he..," the Snake King chuckled inwardly.
