The Jerky Dragon Sword Swordsman

The Son Raises the Demang

Kala Sang Rawi returned to his quarrel. It looks like someone is running around in a frenzy. From the radiance of his face was implied a deep fear. One was none other than the village man Ganendra had saved.

“To...please! Help me!!! Ki!!! Ki Demang!!!” the man shouted as he continued to run towards the house of the Demang Adiwilaga.

Coincidentally, Sang Demang with the village elder was holding a pyrembugan (\*meeting) at his Pendapa house.

“Ki! Ki Demang...” said the man to the pendapa.

His hasty footsteps caused him to fall on the court. The demon who heard the man's cry immediately rushed over. Followed by the other village elders.

“Ki…. Please Ki...” groaned The man who assisted Demang Adiwilaga stood up.

“Kisanak, what's the matter? has something happened?”

The man swallowed his saliva and set his breath. Then he spoke again.

“Di.. in.. forest. Si…. Si...Siluman celeng.” the man said stammeringly.

“Kisaak, relax. Say it slowly.”

Demang Adiwilaga tried to calm the man down.

The villagers who heard the man's screams immediately flocked to the pendapa. Want to see what really happened. Nyi Kemuning Demang Adiwilaga's wife also came out of her house. With his daughter, Gayatri.

Nyi Kemuning brought a cup of drink and gave it to the man. The man immediately grabbed and downed his drink until it ran out. His throat was completely dry. After breathing, he continues the story.

“Ki.. in.. in the forest there Si... stealth boar has appeared and is about to prey me.”.

The villagers who heard the man's words began to whisper to each other and there was a commotion. They were frightened if there were a demon that attacked Kademangan Village.

“Sedulur-sedulur (\*brothers) all do not panic first. We'd better listen to this story.” Demang Adiwilaga pacified its inhabitants.

After hearing the words of the Demang. The villagers were silent for a moment. Then the man continued his story.

“When the demon boars were about to prey on me. Ki Demang's son appeared and fought with the Demon. Ta... but...” The man hesitates to continue his story.

But Ki Demang who heard the man's words. Without waiting for the next explanation immediately ordered the villagers to prepare torches and sharp weapons. They're gonna storm into the woods. Ki Demang is afraid of anything happening with Ganendra. Especially at night, the forest will be a place where demons play. The villagers immediately obeyed the order. The Demang rushed up his horse.

“All of you, young men are partly following me to the forest. Bring torches and other sharp weapons. Others stand guard in the village. Women, children and elders should enter the house immediately. Door lock meeting-meeting.” Demang Adiwilaga's orders.

“Ki, ba... how is the fate of our child?” tanya Nyi Kemuning with teary eyes. He was afraid that something might happen to Ganendra.

Although Ganendra is only an adopted son. However, they still love as sincerely as their own children.

“Bapa (\*bapak, read Bopo) I want to come along. I don't want anything to happen with Ganendra.” Gayatri said.

“Ndhuk (\*daughter name) stay home and look after your mom (\*mum). Father promises to save Ganendra.”

Right after speaking, Demang Adiwilaga immediately pulled the reins of his horse.

“Syuuu!” said it.

The sound of horse legs accompanied by footsteps of village youth was seen leaving the place. Attended by the worried gazes of Gayatri and Nyi Kemuning. Demang Adiwilaga's motorcade soon disappeared swallowed by night.

“Father!!!” call Gayatri who wants to follow her father. However, he also worried about his brother's safety. A brother whom he considered to be a bloodstained.

Not long after, a thick night began to envelop. Ki Demang Adiwilaga was forced to get off his horse because it had reached the forest surrounded by thick trees. The torch carried by the villagers made the once dark forest light. While leading his horse, Ki Demang shouted the name Ganendra.

“Ganendra! Ganendra!!” called repeatedly.

Demang Adiwilaga who never ngangsu kawruh (\*hunting) if kanuragan immediately alert, because he began to feel something was watching their movements. Until one of the villagers shouted.

“Ki! Ki Demang's! Over here!” he shouted loudly.

Ki Demang immediately ran towards the source of the sound. In the other villagers.

“Ganendra!” said Demang Adiwilaga who knew his son lying unconscious. He immediately embraced his son's body. Pasting his index finger near Ganendra's nose. Then attach the ear to Ganendra's chest.

“How's Ki? Is...?” asked one of the villagers did not dare to continue his words for fear of something bad happening.

“Ngger (\*Nak) wake up, Father came to save you.” Demang Adiwilaga patted Ganendra's cheeks.

After several pats, the little boy's eyes began to open. His consciousness gradually recovered slowly.

“Ba... Father Call Ganendra slowly.

Knowing his son is okay. There was a smile of happiness on Demang Adiwilaga's face. But all of that didn't last long. Until heard the screams of one of the villagers who was in the back of the group.

“Arghhttt!!!” loud shouting.

Something seemed to be grabbing his body. The body of one of the villagers disappeared and not long after that the body just fell from above. His voice was so loud that it caused the ground around there to tremble violently. Other villagers who witnessed it shouted hysterically because the bodies of the villagers were no longer intact. His body was like the shreds of a savage beast. Demang Adiwilaga, who knew the danger was coming, ordered everyone to be alert.

“Dulur everyone, stay alert!”

Then stand up and hand over Ganendra to be taken care of by other villagers. Demang Adiwilaga immediately pulled out his keris tucked in the back of the waist. Without fear he held his dagger high.

“Whoever messes up here. Don't be a coward! Out!”

Just as Demang Adiwilaga ended his sentence. From behind the trees appeared dozens of black bats attacking towards the residents there. Both sides fought each other. The bats seemed very agile flying to and fro. Snatched the bodies of villagers to get injured. Some even become his meal. Bats are not just bats. They are the bats' demons.

Demang Adiwilaga also fought. His dagger slashed at some bats. The demon saw the inhabitants of his village began to fall. He is responsible for the safety of his people.

“Hei! where is your king! Come here let's fight one on one!” challenge Demang Adiwilaga. If he could finish off the bat king, then the bat herd would probably leave that place.

After saying his sentence. A big bat appeared. Then use Ajian Malih Rupa and turn into a human half bat. His body is black with pointed ears. Laughing brightly and looking down at Demang Adiwilaga.

“Man doesn't know himself. Come here and be my meal Ha! Ha! Ha!”

Finally, the fight is inevitable. Both of them fought and pulled out their moves. The weak Ganendra looked anxiously at his father.

Demang Adiwilaga is not just a demang. He also has a pretty good science. His dagger gave off a red glow that he could slash towards the bat king. But the Bat King was very nimble to fly to and fro. Avoiding attacks directed at him. Demang Adiwilaga's attack missed a lot. Now, the king of the bats is attacking. He flew quickly and grabbed Demang Adiwilaga's body. His pointy claws scratched Demang Adiwilaga's chest. Ki Demang staggered while holding his chest that looks to pour blood. The villagers started to get scared. If we lose. Their fate is at the end of the horn. Being a bat food of course.

The bat king laughed out loud. Victory is in his hands. Then with a cynical look. He clasped both hands on his chest. Spread the ultimate study. Demang Adiwilaga's. Ganendra who did not want to watch his father get hurt. Both of his hands started clenching tightly. His eyes turned sharp. Filled with angry rage. His body was enveloped in black light. Just like before, his left arm was filled with snake scales. His fingers turned into Dragon's claws.

“Hyaaaa!!” shouted Ganendra garang.

His eyes turned red and his black hair had turned white. His strength feels huge. The villagers who witnessed the oddity immediately moved away from Ganendra, with terrified gazes. Demang Adiwilaga gasped at the change in her son. He doesn't know what really happened to Ganendra.

The bat king who sensed the great power from Ganendra gasped.

“Hemmm, this smell of blood and strength. Unmistakable, the boy could it be...?”.

Without saying much, Ganendra immediately lashed forward and used Ajian Saipi Wind. Floated to and fro and slaughtered the bats mercilessly. The bat king who witnessed his men being slaughtered certainly did not accept. Then by using Ajian Malih Rupa. Turned himself into a huge bat.

Now, Ganendra and the Bat King are fighting it out. Ganendra looked fierce with his red eyes. Clawed the Bat King's wings with a crackle. Demang Adiwilaga and the villagers could only watch with diverse gazes and minds.

At the top of the fight. Ganendra managed to grip the head of the Bat King with the power sourced from his left hand. Then exerted its power and made the body of the Bat King crumble like nothing dust left. Right at the same time, Ganendra lay unconscious. His body returned as it was.

Demang Adiwilaga immediately approached his son. Calling Ganendra's name repeatedly. He asked the villagers to help bring Ganendra home. However, the villagers fell silent with fearful gazes at Ganendra.

Since that night. News spread throughout Kademangan Village, that Sang Demang's adopted son was a demon child. Many parents forbid their children to play with Ganendra. He began to be shunned and looked at strangely by the villagers. It made the heart of the sinless boy feel very sad. His face was sluggish. All the doors of the house were closed for him.
