The Swordsman of Bloon

The Swordsman of Bloon
Invitation of Death



Mount Merbabu at a glance only in the form of highlands towering to the sky. At dusk the part of the slope looks silent. Before reaching the slopes of the mountain, in the valley there is a lake, and from the edge of the lake is the only way to reach the slope or peak Merbabu.


It was almost certain that people did not dare to come to this place. Besides the place is very vulnerable. This area is a strange human residence Elephant Munding aka Fat Elephant and Elephant Kerempeng.


At that time the martial figures both from the north, south, east and west were so respectful and afraid of these two brothers because of the height of their silat science. Counted old generation figures but had a youthful stature that was only once down the mountain. That is when the occurrence of a concussion on Mount Bromo at the time of the birth of a magical baby aka Suro Blondo. But that happened about eighteen years ago. After his failure to get the magical baby, still in the same place they brought a baby girl who eventually they raised to become students and they named the Moon Goddess. Now the girl is an adult and has gone down the mountain also after they gembleng with various sports science.


If in the past Mount Merbabu was always colored with the sound of the screams of a girl who was training her martial arts. So now Mount Merbabu turned silent like a grave.


Looking at the valley, at the edge of the lake. An old man sat down. This man wears clothes from woven lontar leaves. And so is his cap. The makeup is nodding, both small eyes like catfish eyes. If he pulls the hook to the surface of the water. Then there was a foul, piercing smell. Because the hook bait is nothing but pieces of human hands that are deliberately rotted.


One two long creatures sprawled from within the water floundering and making hissing sounds. Obviously, the ones eating the hooks were not fish or eels, but deadly venomous snakes. The snakes that caught his hook eye, he immediately put it in a ladybug. A place made of woven rattan leather covered.


While the eye movement of the hook is getting faster. Each hook's eye is jerked, then all that is seen are venomous snakes that flutter in pain. For almost two hours he did so until he breathed a sigh of relief.


"This side is full. I Datuk Mambang Pitoka can only give a gift like this to the Demon Lord aka Datuk Raka Tendra. If I were young, I would have played Pibu. That way if I come out as the winner. So I deserve Maya Swari as my rightful wife" said Buto Terenggi aka Datuk Mambang Pitoka while stroking his beard which is only a few strands.


"Maya Swari is the epitome of the majesty of all the beautiful demon princesses. Honey, I'm not young anymore. Datuk Raka Tendra with his strange habits certainly has spread the invitation. If he invites the whole circle of soldiers both black and white. Of course he has other goals occasionally. His daughter Maya Swari also has a strange desire. He only wants to marry a young man who can defeat him. Though it is very dangerous if he gets a husband from the straight. Ha ha ha...! Maybe I need to tell my pal that."


Datuk Mambang Pitoka, the ruler of this jungle of darkness, suddenly just patted his forehead.


"Why should I take care of it? Tokh as fellow demons we have our own business."


This haunted-looking old grandfather rose to his feet. Not long after he turned around and was just about to step up when he heard a sighing voice. His small eyes then blinked. But he saw no one around him but himself.


"I am the devil. If there's a demon trying to seduce me. Means ge blek who does not look face to face on his own golongan." Datuk Mambang Pitoka muttered to himself.


"You dare to enter the territory of others and dare to steal our own efficacious snakes. Give us back our beloved snake!"


Buto Terenggi gasped as soon as he heard the voice of someone who was conveyed through the science of inserting the voice. Very quickly he turned towards the arrival of the voice.At that time he saw two men just wearing koteka. One is unusually fat so that it looks like a bunting elephant while the other is thin and dry like a living hornet.


Strangely even though the fat man had a huge body. But his movements were fast while his steps were light. Different from the skinny ones. His footsteps felt heavy but steady. They were wearing gaitan-shaped weapons. It is joined by an elongated chain but is only attached to the shoulder. Buto Terenggi once saw the presence of these two figures somewhat gasped. But then his laughter sounded.


"Magun Merbabu Master. It's been a long time since we met. Receive respect from your friends!" Buto Terenggi grabbed both hands to the front of the chest and then bowed his head three times.


Two newcomers who are none other than Fat Elephant aka Elephant Munding and Elephant Kerempeng look at each other. Seeing the makeup of foreign men in front of them apparently skinny Elephant immediately recognized.


Buto Terenggi is a cult figure who very rarely appears in the martial jungle. Once upon a time a man who was very skilled in playing with this toya weapon appeared. There must be a very big event going to happen.


"We have seen since then the kisanak hunker down on the edge of the lake where we keep the Kayangan snake. What are you doing?"


"Don't want to but I have taken these Kayangan snakes for a friend to find a mate for his son. Did the Elephant brother get his invitation?"


The fat elephant and the Elephant Kerempeng looked at it for a moment, then similarly shook their heads.


"Not yet!"


"Then let's assume that my arrival represents the great royal family of the Demon Lord Raka Tendra. One full moon coming you come to Mount Pangrangko. Who knows you are the lucky one to get the great princess Maya Swari to be a companion here. Goodbye...!"


"Not playing, really I do not believe the greatness of Mount Merbabu elders if you do not see it for yourself today!"


"You believe it or not is no business. Kisanak has committed the theft of very rare and valuable items. You can only leave this Merbabu slope after returning our Khayangan snakes!"


"Well, the problem will be runyam if I serve bunting elephants and elephants eat less. Although I have no doubt that I am not necessarily losing against them. What am I supposed to do?" inner Buto Terenggi.


"Little things should not be enlarged. I want to pay a hundred Kayangan snakes with a hundred gold coins. Hows it? Do you agree?"


"We disagree. The python lays eggs once a hundred years. Whoever eats it, will increase the strength of his inner power to tenfold. And we never traded it."


"If it is not sold and bought. Then I ask it of you respectfully, gallant people!" datuk Mambang Pitoka.


"can't. Give me back that thing!" Elephant Krempeng insisted.


Feeling like there is no other way. Datuk Mambang Pitoka immediately grabbed the tip of his robe, so that five star-shaped red rays roared towards the two Elephants.


"Se tan alas!" Both were growling, two hands waving towards these rapidly attacking secret weapons.


Wuuk! wuus!


The tring! The tring!


Six secret weapons were thrown. Two of them even turned to attack their own master. Buto Terenggi is an experienced heretic even he has the nickname Datuk Mambang Pitoka, because it is considered to have the same level of intelligence as the supernatural creatures. He calmly pointed his index finger in the other direction. So that the secret weapon that turned to attack him deviated from the target and stuck in the tree trunk behind him.


Just five seconds the tree turned withered and its leaves immediately fell. Fat Elephant and Elephant Krempeng was astonished to make. But as a person who has seen the greatness of grandfathers. Of course they don't need to be amazed.


"Cough, we acknowledge the greatness of the poison contained in your secret weapon. But we're not little kids you can be scared of. If you still don't want to put our Khayangan snakes back in the lake. Today we vow to bind enmity to you!"


"This solution is good if we talk about Pangrangko mountain one full moon coming!"


Finished with his words. Suddenly Datuk Mambang Pitoka tipped something towards Fat Elephant and Elephant Krempeng. Surprised and not expecting this dark attack. So the Elephant Krempeng immediately greeted him with one kick that was quite hard. So as to make a round-shaped object like explosives it makes a hissing sound accompanied by a thick smoke spread. Instantly also the atmosphere around them turned dark covered in mist.


"Sat bang! The devil really deceives us." cried the Fat Elephant while slamming his legs. So as to make the land that he stepped on collapsed to the extent of snoring. This fact makes the Elephant Krempeng grumble.


"We should go after se tan's kakang. The nutritious snakes that belong to us that he has captured are certainly quite a lot too."


"Yes, I don't think it's any good. If it is true in Pangrangko mountain there will be a very large meeting. Why don't we just go there? We can see what's going to happen there as well as find out how are our disciples of the Moon Goddess right now? Whether he has managed to find the killer of his parents or not."


"But.. don't we ourselves have the abstinence to kill? Especially to leave this Merbabu mountain?" Elephant Krempeng apparently remembered his oath.


"Have it. Forget about that. We're leaving now...."


It seems that Elephant Krempeng did not feel they had another choice. He was forced to follow the wishes of his kosang karnya as it happened when they were about to go to Mount Bromo eighteen ago.
