The Musafir
Killing Mantel
The mantang kept crashing, there was no more doubt in him. While the person who was attacked immediately made a quick move grabbing the dagger at his waist, then he swung it to fend off the Manting stick.
But what is the power of a dagger against the lunge of the Mantingan wand that is too strong and fast? So the enemy dodges by rolling back if he does not want to be hit by a stick Mantingan. The mantle floated above him before landing again coinciding with the enemy who had risen to his feet.
They faced each other and mounted horses, but none of them attacked.
The mantan is still thinking of the best way to attack while the staff is cut off, as well as the enemy who does not want to attack before thinking mature. The Manting stick is designed not to attack, so it will be dangerous if the Mantingan attacks in a hurry even though the weapon is much longer than the enemy's dagger, because the stick is not too powerful to injure the enemy.
The enemy is also considering how to attack that can win it because the Mantingan weapon is too long than his dagger
Then Mantingan tried a more peaceful path.
“Who are you? Say!”
“Should I tell you?”
At that time the enemy was caught off guard, although a little but the Mantingan immediately took the opportunity very quickly. He stuck his wand on the right side of the man's stomach, the part with little safety.
The Mantingan attack certainly surprised the enemy, he dashed his dagger towards the end of the stick, but the stick continued to go even though the dagger had hit. Inevitably, the pointed tip of the stick hit the target, tearing his clothes through the skin of the abdomen. But he jumped back until the stab was not too deep and did not cause any serious injuries.
They looked at each other again and put up horses. The Mantingan also proposes a more peaceful path.
“Who are you? Say!”
“Let me tell you your name so you don't die curious!” he said before attacking. “My name is Wasupati, O stranger!”
The mantan continued to fend off the attack of the person using his cane and continuously dodged the indiscriminate attack. In a small room like this, using a long weapon like a stick or spear was not a good choice. But if he hears the man's word, his name is Wasupati. Who is the Wasupati? Could it be that he was a group of robbers long ago who intended to take revenge on Mantingan? But that's a little impossible. It was possible that this person did not have anything to do with Mantingan, Rara, or Arkawidya though.
Here is a secret brothel, a crime can happen here. No exception to what is in front of Mantingan at this time.
Fighting continues, the Mantingan is still not injured, dagger from the enemy has not hit it. While the enemy began to lose quite a lot of blood due to the puncture of the Mantang stick. Thus with that, his strength lessened faster and his attacks began to slow down.
Now Mantingan began to retaliate against the attack. At first he could only survive. His attack in the form of an incessant puncture targeting deadly points on the enemy's body parts. Many Mantingan attacks are only about empty wind or hit the enemy tank, but there are also attacks that managed to penetrate the skin of the enemy.
Blood had soaked the man's clothes and the floor of the room, until he finally leaned against the wall and involuntarily removed his dagger. His breathing was breathless, his two hands were trying to cover the wounds where his blood kept pouring out.
The mantle approached, still brandishing the end of the stick. “What's your problem with us?”
The man laughed out loud. The mouth gives off a lot of blood. “HAHAHAHA! Remember, stranger! The inn will search you for a wormhole! Remember!”
The Wasupati choked several times before her body sagged down, her life hovering right there.
Mantingan is now in a very, very chaotic mind. What does Land Lodging have to do with Rara? Was the Wasupati only intended to steal Rara, without any intention of revenge because of a past event that Rara did not tell?
And now the Mantingan has killed man, a grave offense to him. He had broken his promise with Kenanga that he would not play rough in the task of finding Gembangmas.
The wasupati was killed in his spear, and his spear was moved by his hand, and his hand was brain-driven. Should Mantingan blame the brain? How can the brain harm the brain?
Not much time to think. The mantan must escape Rara in time. So soon he took the enemy's dagger lying on the floor and hurriedly approached Rara.
“Sorry I'm a little late,” she said as she swiped the dagger's eye onto the rope that was tying Rara.
It didn't take long until the mine broke up and freed Rara. The mantle also took off a lump in Rara's mouth.
With tears unraveling, Rara got up and hugged Mantingan tightly.
Was this? The mantle is very unfamiliar with female hugs. Should he consider it mediocre? The mantingan did not return Rara's embrace.
“Thank you, Mantingan, thank you.”
The moving mantle took off Rara's embrace, there wasn't enough time to cuddle.
“Rara, we must immediately go up.” Mantingan wiped away Rara's tears with the cloth of her robe, Rara should not be seen in a state of crying or the plan could be interrupted. “Go grab your bundle, don't be sad, everything's fine.”
Unfortunately, Rara considers the Mantingan action with another meaning. But he knew that it was not the time for them to get busy with their feelings.
The mantle wiped the tip of the spear from the blood with the clothes of his enemy, the Wasupati, who had been lying dead, then they went out and locked the door.
They stepped half-running on the stairs, Mantingan leading in front. His hands tightly gripped the murderous spear, in order to attack or defend when needed. The mantan did not hesitate to attack an opponent who dared to block his current move, it was not even okay to kill him though.
They arrived at the first floor. Birawa is already seen talking to Arkawidya at the reception desk. Brands are seen talking as customers with the waiter alone, but what they are talking about is beyond that.
Until Birawa realizes the presence of Mantingan and Rara, she stops her conversation with Arkawidya, then she nods meaningfully at her granddaughter. Birawa turned to Mantingan and pointed at the exit with her eye movements. Arkawidya walked quickly out of the reception desk.
The mantan understood, quickly he grabbed Rara's arm, pulling her towards the outer door along with Arkawidya's walking steps.
“Do not move!”
The entire room was startled by a loud noise that was somehow shown to whom. But the Mantingan did not heed the order, kept going.
“You take one more step then I finish your life!”
The voice appeared again, but was joined by the sound of Birawa who was no less loud.
“Continue running!”
Mantingan felt that Birawa's strength was able to fight anyone in this inn, so he still pulled Rara's arm and invited her to keep going. Arkawidya who knew his grandfather well also continued to step, even more quickly and wide just his footsteps.
A little more Mantingan grabbed the handle of the exit, his body and Rara's body suddenly crashed into the wind until almost fell. The mantan had experienced this before at Satya's house, had broken a fight here!
