A soldier was seen running away after Ihsan gave the order for him to report the appearance of a demon in the backyard of the royal palace, precisely in the magic castle where the current fight between Diablo and the witches.
Far enough he ran, what was more the distance between the castle and the main palace was indeed quite far. Even if riding a horse carriage the distance traveled takes 15 minutes what else is just running without riding a horse, it definitely takes more time than that.
Before the knight reached the palace and reported, no one was aware of the appearance of a demon with a concentrated aura around the palace. In fact, the rumbling and boisterous sounds of the fight that took place between the magician and Diablo were not heard at all in the ears of the entire populace gathered in the front courtyard of the royal palace.
They all seem to enjoy parties, food, drink, music and dancing women more attractive to the people than the faint but audible noise in their ears. Their attention was only on the party and having fun, when else could they enjoy life other than today.
If on a normal day they only eat potluck then today they can all eat as much, he said, if the usual day they can not afford toast (Alcoholic drinks) then today they can all enjoy the full harvest, if their usual day is busy and tired due to work then today they can be satisfied to have fun unwinding their lives.
Today they all party, from children to men. Today was the day they had been waiting for since the first princess of the kingdom died until the marriage plan failed, which made them all sad and disappointed. Today.. Today is the day all of them have been waiting for... The capital of the Nusantara kingdom.
If outside alone can feel the euphoria of marriage, what else in the palace. In the sacred room where the wedding is taking place with various ornaments and floral decorations.
In that room, all the guests were nobles. They looked calmer than the party in the royal front yard. Some were sitting while talking, some were standing while eating the food available at the tables with white tablecloth decoration.
Some were talking about the war on the island of Cebes, they were pretty sure of Rein and the 100,000 troops they sent to retake the island of Irian. In fact, there are those who have planned the division of territory on the island of Irian because the nobles who inhabit the island of Irian no one can survive the invasion of Lucifer and his troops.
There is also a conversation about the royal wedding party that finally occurred after the first princess whose wedding party was anticipated but canceled due to the reckless action of escaping from the kingdom to travel and finally died horribly.
Their togetherness in the pasta just flowed, there was no worry about the threat of war that occurred on the island of Cebes or the invasion that had been rampant on this land.
So confident were they all, that no one was worried about the attack of the Demon clan. The only one who looked uneasy at this moment was King Jolang who was sitting on his throne.
He was agitated at not getting word from the alliance troops that should have arrived at the palace to secure the defense of the royal capital. The thing unknown to him was, the gathered troops had been slaughtered by the demons.
"My husband.. Be calm. This is your daughter's wedding." The empress who was at the side holding his hand, the gentle touch of his wife made Jolang again suppress the anxiety that was inside him.
In the middle of the hustle and bustle of chatter they all.. The big door in the room opened. The door was not far from the throne of the king where Jolang was sitting.
As soon as the door opened, a group of knights wearing armor complete with swords lined up neatly on the edge of the red carpet that stretched from the direction of the open door to the front of the king of Jolang and his queen. Those knights were the great knights deployed to start the wedding today, they were all gathered in this room and there was no one standing guard.
"Son of the noble Hugeng Lingga, the lord of the land of Kuta, the great knight of the kingdom of Nusantara.. Galang Lingga entered the room." One of the knights shouted out loudly.
Shortly after that scream. Galang Lingga stepped in gallantly. He walked slowly on the red carpet accompanied by the sound of music and the applause of the nobles who saw it.
It makes his competitors feel jealous because Galang was the one who was chosen to marry Gayatri. After previously Galang became one of the 5 candidates that should be chosen by Gayatri as her future husband.
Galang was elected because King Jolang who voted after Gayatri refused to vote because he insisted on not wanting to marry and chose to run out of the palace.
After Galang arrived before the king, he knelt down. King Jolang stood up from his throne and approached Galang. He blessed Galang with holy water from an old well that has existed since the first time this kingdom was established. It was a form of blessing from the king for Galang who would soon become an official member of the royal family after marrying Gayatri.
After the procession, Jolang held Galang's shoulders and hugged Galang. An applause from the guests adds to the excitement of the wedding process that is currently underway.
"Second daughter of king Jolang Ingalaga.. The princess who is famous for her beautiful sea level.. Gayatri Ingalaga entered the room.." the knight who was close to the entrance again shouted loudly.
Then soon Gayatri stepped in gracefully, waving like a noble woman showing the curves of her body. The jewelry and the little crown on her head further confirmed her status if she was a royal princess.
The young women who were the same age as him even felt envious of the graceful and beautiful appearance that emanated from Gayatri. Women alone could feel like that what else with the men who also saw Gayatri without blinking into her admiration. They were all blown away, even with the man currently staring at Gayatri closing in on her.
Ferrety.. He was unable to hide the admiration drawn on his face when he saw Gayatri approaching him slowly.
"What do you think?" King Jolang who saw his daughter asked Galang.
"Honestly, Sire, I must admit that your daughter is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life." Strictly with a radiant face.
"Yes.. Soon that beautiful woman will be your wife."
From the side where the nobles are. A couple of husbands and wives who also look amazed with Gayatri are very happy, because Gayatri will marry their son. The couple were nobles from Kuta, one of the areas on the island of Jatra, Huggeng Lingga and his wife.
The wedding procession will continue soon.. Soon they will make a sacred promise that binds them to a husband and wife. The speech will be led by Jolang himself as the father of Gayatri.
Meanwhile.. Outside the palace. The front yard is still crowded and full of people who are swimming. Wiggling with the music without paying attention around.. Without hearing the warning of a soldier who had earlier shouted and tried to pass the people who were partying.
The soldier Ihsan commanded had already arrived at the front yard, he was forced to go to the front yard because the entrance to the palace at the back door was not open at all and no one was guarding. The soldier was in trouble because he had not found any soldiers or knights.
The soldier did not realize that in the midst of the people who party. The soldiers and knights were also engrossed in partying and enjoying the full harvest.
"Awass.. Give way. Step aside.. Move aside." The soldier was trying hard to pass the party that was crammed.
Occasionally he screamed if there was a demon who attacked but no one responded even other soldiers who heard it only thought if the soldier who shouted was under the influence of palm wine aka mabok.
There is no one in the capital.. There were currently only three concentrations of the crowd. First in the palace, the wedding center room filled with nobles, great knights and members of the king's family, the two front courtyards of the palace were filled with people, soldiers were also ordinary knights and the third.. The magic castle is quite far behind the royal palace.
At that place was currently going on a fierce fight..
"Magicae creaturae: and ascendens coturnix." The magic attack made by Mbah Raka made Diablo float for a moment and was blown to the ground by a very strong wind.
The battle that has been going on since this time, has made 4 witches unconscious and injured side including one of the knights who is currently helping Mbah Raka.
Ihsan, he already looks gnawing, his heavy breathing indicates if this fight is a tough fight. His body had even been injured, it could be seen from the traces of blood on some parts of his body.
While Diablo already looked extremely chaotic, not a single part of his body was unharmed. It was like a blood bath this time after several fatal attacks from Ihsan and also Mbah Raka. It's just that Diablo who no longer has consciousness can continue to rise even though it has fallen several times.
As it is today..
"Well! Seriously!? Outstanding endurance can." Mbah Raka who is still not injured means impressed with the endurance of Diablo.
Despite experiencing blisters on his left hand, but it did not have any impact on the performance of Mbah Raka. As the strongest magician and one of the golden generation of Nusantara kingdom, Diablo level demons still could not corner him.
Diablo was a powerful demon, of course.. It was inevitable but this time Diablo was fighting not just one person but some people who were also quite strong. What else Mbah Raka and Ihsan who had earlier made Diablo hurt.
Diablo's strength was seen when he continued to rise despite being repeatedly knocked down to make the Ihsan empire drained even with battered body and full of blood.
Mbah Raka with the wind empire was still floating in the air. While Ihsan who was below him was seen alert along with 3 other witches who still survived.
"Sound.. Why don't I feel another existence inside the castle." Mbah Raka.
What he was questioning right now were the witches, warriors and knights that had been brought into the castle to be given treatment.
Diablo is back.. This time he attacked Ihsan. He ran and every time he stomped his feet the ground would tremble with the weight of Diablo's footsteps at this time.
Mbah Raka who saw that immediately reacted, a magic from the plant empire that made Diablo immobile with sharp thorny roots emerging from the ground pierced Diablo and wrapped itself around him very strongly.
Diablo revolted, he expended more energy to be able to move but the more he moved the tighter the thorny roots wrapped around his body, legs and hands.
"Goddess.. You better get all your energy out." Mbah Raka who seemed to have difficulty holding Diablo shouted down.
Ihsan who heard that immediately responded. With the help of the wind empire, he darted close to Diablo and this time Ihsan did not want to slash but rather he just stabbed Diablo fixed in his chest.. Where the heart of Diablo is.
And... Tsskkkkk
The blood that was spewed from the stab hit Ihsan's face.
"It's over." Ihsan said while pulling the sword from Diablo's body.
Mbah Raka who had earlier floated back on the ground and approached Ihsan.
"Yuga, let's go inside the castle. Make sure nothing happens!" Mbah Raka orders one of the witches who can still move back inside the castle.
Ihsan put his sword back into the sword sheath that was on his left waist.
"I just found out if the devil can be this strong."
"Yes.. And this demon is still nothing compared to the 6 great sins."
Ihsan himself had never faced the demons 6 great sins or his subordinates. The battle with Diablo was his first battle against a top-level demon that was plagued by 6 major sins.
"You're pretty battered.. Haha." Mbah Raka looked at Ihsan who was quite full of wounds.
"How else, it looks like I should go back to raising my fighting level." Shrugging his shoulders while smiling.
The remaining witches, then tried to heal their comrades who were still lying unconscious.
Then.. They felt they had defeated Diablo.
"The lambambambamba.." Diablo laughing.
Suddenly they all turned around and put up a position to attack.
"How could he not have died when I had stabbed him in the heart." Ihsan Gumam.
"Goddess.. Be calm. The devil can no longer resist. I did not feel any more concentrated aura from him." Said Mbah Raka who was approaching towards Diablo.
Diablo returned to his original form. Now he has regained consciousness but his condition is very critical and may soon bleed to death.
"Mbambunba.. The heart of the devil is twofold. You should have stabbed both." Clearly Diablo's.
"Without being killed you'll be dead any minute. You've lost, whatever your plan is.. With you dead here then the plan you prepared would never happen." Mbah Raka approached slowly, he clearly saw Diablo's already dying gaze.
"lose!? Mambas.. No kidding.. I've done my job well." Diablo smiled as if he had won.
Ihsan frowned, then suddenly a portal opened right behind Diablo who was currently knocked helpless.
"Huh!?"
"Cannot be.. How can!?"
Just so suddenly it makes Ihsan and Mbah Raka panic not overbearing. A portal opened within the territory of the capital, an impossible thing to happen as long as agate still shines in the underground room of the magic castle.
