One tall great ape figure with a body filled with black feathers and sharp white fangs that peered out from his lips instantly had been right in front of Sungsang Geni.
The creature's eyes were as red as blood, nanar stared at the young man fiercely. He stood like a human, carrying a large, sharp-spiked weapon.
Sungsang Geni slightly looked up at the creature, because its height was probably twice that of his body.
Not long after, about 20 more monkey demons descended from the top of the tree with various weapons. Sungsang Geni believes they got the weapon from the spoils of warriors who passed through this place.
“I am Mambang, this road guard.” The great ape said. “If you want to cross these mountains, you have to beat us all!”
Then the ape laughed out loud along with 20 advanced ape stealth attacked Geni and the others.
Sungsang Geni immediately chose his lead as a worthy opponent. The young man swung the sword, but the Ape Demon managed to fend it off quite easily.
In just a few minutes, there had been dozens of exchanges of attacks between Sungsang Geni and the Ape Demon. Seeing the human abilities he faced, suddenly the smile on Mambang's face disappeared.
Sungsang Geni is very easy to avoid the swing of the creature that seems heavier. While the movements of Sungsang Geni every second are getting faster, and more deadly.
Each clash between the sword and the sword created a small pressurized shockwave, but so several times the Demon was pushed back after a gunfight with Sungsang Geni.
On the other hand, Cempaka Ayu plays all the objects around him with the direction of the hand and fingers. Even the small ape-stealth could not approach the girl more than 1 meter.
There is a kind of invisible protector that surrounds Cempaka Ayu. When one of the ape stealth tried to find a gap to attack, Commander Ireng snatched at him and threw at the wooden tree.
Cempaka Ayu attacked the creature in the next attack, this time all the stones and wood floated around his body, like a ring. With a flick of a finger, the objects managed to kill all the ape demons without remaining.
"No way!" Pekik Mambang's.
Having all his subordinates die instantly, Mambang's face became panicked. Lost already the confidence in the look on his face, his sinister form suddenly looks miserable.
“Your gap is wide open!” Sungsang Geni shakes the sword and manages to hit the creature's right arm until it breaks.
The ape demon screamed in pain while the piece of his hand fluttered for a moment. His brother had already slipped off along with his broken arm.
Not yet had Sungsang Geni returned to shake his sword, the Demon decided to escape by returning to the softened realm.
But alas, before he finished casting the spell, a black-coloured sword pierced right in his heart.
The demon was about to look back, knowing who the person who had stabbed him, but his intention was not fulfilled. He died with blood pouring out.
“Did I miss your party?” Pramudhita smiled sinisterly looking at the ugly creature's face. “It looks like the party is over.”
“Uncle Pramudhita?” Sungsang Geni scratched his head. “Why did you suddenly come without being invited? Aren't you..”.
“Already, already!” Pramudhita clasped his hand. “This smile is not the leader in this mountain, there are still more monkey stealth nesting in this place.”
“He is Uncle Pramudhita, the one who has helped me.” Sungsang Geni then introduced Cempaka Ayu to Pramudhita and vice versa.
At the same time, Commander Ireng immediately approached Pramudhita cheerfully. Apparently the wolf also missed its first master first.
Pramudhita had been out from the Inner Sea Palace for two days. At first Nogo Sosro did not allow his son-in-law out of the Inner Sea Palace, but instead Sancani who always persuaded Pramudhita to immediately accompany Sungsang Geni's journey.
Pramudhita was not feeling well, when he realized Sungsang Geni had never recited Ciung Wanara's spell to call him. Of course, he knew that the young man of the sun valued him greatly.
However, the agreement that Pramudhita has made with Sungsang Geni is like a root that always disturbs the mind where when he feels Sungsang Geni in trouble.
“So this uncle is not human?” Cempaka Ayu was almost strangled, he could not accept that the person who had just come suddenly was a soft nation. “Why is your face so similar to a human? Why is it not similar to...?”
“Some of us soft people basically also have a face similar to yours human race. It's just that when we come out of the softened nature must manifest in certain animal forms in order to survive in the human realm.”
There are only two nations in the world, nothing more. The gentler nation or jinn and the nation of man. In the occult, the soft people who fight bad will not have a perfect body like humans.
Some of them are sometimes just the head, or just the body, or shaped like a snake and black anjhing.
When they realized the true nature of life, then their body shape slowly became more perfect.
While the soft people who have the ability to change his body to the form of an animal, called as a demon and vice versa if humans can manifest into an animal.
Generally, humans have certain knowledge and ritual practices that are very difficult, until finally they have the ability to change their form into an animal like a tiger.
And hence the person would be named as a tiger demon, but basically he was a human who had the science of becoming a tiger.
“But why don't you become an animal..?” Cempaka Ayu asked quietly, worried that the question might offend the burly man instead. “Like birds for example, or snakes or also crocodiles.”.
“This is because me and Geni have a bond.” Pramudhita replied he then explained in outline.
“Do you understand now?” ask the man.
“I understand, just can't accept the fact that you are a Gentleman.”
Cempaka Ayu looked back at Pramudhita's body, from the tip of the foot to the tip of the head. Nothing is different, he thought. It's just that the clothes Pramudhita wears do seem very striking.
“It is not important to discuss this now, we should continue back on the journey!” Sungsang Geni interrupts Cempaka Ayu's conversation, making the girl come back a manyun.
“What you say is true Geni,” said Pramudhita while walking first. “If you want! I can show you a less dangerous route, just a little further from your destination, Swarnadwipa.”
“These mountains will be passed by thousands of refugees, Uncle.” Sungsang Geni seemed to think for a while. “I think we should defeat all these ape demons, so that there will no longer be casualties.”
