The Dragon God Swordsman

34. The past of Sinta (3)

The red devil stood up while his hand held his son's head. He grinned towards Sinta's father making Sinta's father raise his vigilance. Seeing the gurgle of his opponent the red demon then laughed mockingly at Sinta's father.

“I'll make you regret making my son die!”, the red devil said aloud. With a quick motion he lifted his son's head up and drank the blood that fell from his son's throat. Sinta's father glared at the scene before his eyes, he was not out of thought with what his opponent was doing right now.

“What he wants to do”, Sinta's father wonders in his heart. What a strange and horrible sight. But soon the question was finally answered not long after.

“Arrrrghhhhhhhhgghgghhg....”, the red devil suddenly shouted loudly with the strong wind blowing around him. His body trembled violently as if he was feeling tremendous pain. He kept screaming for a while. Sinta's father didn't move in the slightest, the wind blowing around the red demon was so strong and as if protecting him.

Inside the whirlwind, Sinta's father saw the red demon's body now beginning to change. Slowly a pair of horns began to appear on the head of the red demon. Not only that his fingernails also began to extend to form a claw and his teeth now have a pair of fangs. The murderous aura that came out from the body of the red demon was dusky red and so concentrated. Sinta's father had trouble breathing for a moment because of that aura but he was able to control himself after emitting his soul aura and sword aura.

“MATI!! DIE!!! DIE!!!”, the red demon shouted out loud after the change in body shape was complete. His voice was not now unlike his original voice as if it was being possessed by something. The whirlwind surrounding the red demon had already disappeared and revealed its changed form. Sinta's father was surprised to see the change, he now looks so creepy like a demon.

Not wanting to waste my time and then move forward to attack his opponent. While his opponent only stayed in place as if he did not care about his attack. When he took out a slash he quickly halted his attack with the claws that the red demon possessed. Sinta's father was again surprised by the strength of his opponent, so different from before.

“Tonight you will DIE!!!”, the red devil attacks with his other hand. Because of the red devil's claw that was able to stop his attack, Sinta's father concluded that he had to avoid the attack. Sinta's father quickly jumped back to keep his distance. In fact, he could not do much, having managed to keep a distance from the red demon and then went forward to attack him.

The movements of the red demons were so fast and could not be followed by the eyes of an ordinary person. Sinta's father who had experienced so many fights had difficulty reading the movements of his current opponent. The demonic power seemed to rise to 2 times that of before. He attacked blindly without leaving a pause for a second. His attacks were irregular but so fast and powerful, Sinta's father was overwhelmed by not expecting the strength of his opponent.

The red demons continued to attack while Sinta's father was now in a defensive position. Scratches of small wounds now begin to decorate his father Sinta's body. His stamina had already been half drained when facing the red demons and his subordinates, he could now only use half of his current strength.

With the wounds that continue to adorn his wounds make him unable to do much, but he must still survive so that his exit does not become a victim of the red devil tonight. He could not imagine if he lost this fight and his family would definitely be killed so cruelly by the red demons. Sinta's father steadied his soul, he would exert all his abilities and would even sacrifice himself if needed.

“Mother, I'm afraid”, little Sinta put her face in her mother's arms. His body did not stop shaking from seeing his father fight.

“Don't be afraid, mother will protect mu”, mother Sinta hugged her son tightly while observing her husband's fight with red devils. Although she was afraid, she thought more about her son's situation. He must be calm so that his son does not constantly feel afraid. She gently stroked Sinta's hair in her sling hoping that Sinta would stop being frightened.

Sinta's body that had been shaking violently now slowly began to calm down. The caress of her mother made her heart calm, not only with the caress of Sinta's mother calmed her down with the chant of the song that Sinta's mother used to sing when she was going to put Sinta to bed. Sinta is now calm, her head is now pitched up to see her mother's face. His mother smiled gently at him and he replied with a sweet smile.

“Mother, why would anyone want to do evil to us?”, asked Sinta plainly. “We will never do evil mother, father and mother are always good to others. Is there anyone else who hates us?”, Sinta kept asking her mother.

Her mother smiled warmly before answering Sinta's question, “Whatever we do to others there must be people who hate us. Even the family itself will be toxic in the body”, Sinta's mother is now looking forward, “People who hate us will do anything to bring us down. Shouldn't mom take that right”.

“Mother... Can't we just apologize if we have something wrong with people who hate us?”, asked Sinta again.

“Your words are true, to apologize to those who hate us is a noble deed. I should have thought of that since the first”, Sinta's mother looked back at her son's face. He felt proud of his son's thought which seemed to show he had grown up. Ibu Sinta then hugged Sinta gently while saying, “You have a nature like your father who is always humble”.

Sinta's mother continued to hug Sinta and took cover behind the door of her room. She looked out to watch the fight from her husband. The fight had been going on for quite some time, she had been beguiled by her husband not to move on his own. As a wife she obeys every order from her husband, she will not go a long way before being ruled by her own husband.

With anxious feelings she watched her husband fight. Worried and afraid to continue haunting him, he did not want anything to happen with his family. “Please protect our family of gods, give me the strength to protect our family”, mother Sinta pleaded to the gods so that her family does not experience anything bad. He hopes his family tonight managed to survive the impact of the problems that hit their lives.
