A week before, in the afternoon.
Ki Bayu ran through a limp.
It had been about three days that he had lost his way not knowing the direction after escaping from Ulong and his group. Walking and running are only guided by the sun. Although his magic relied on darkness but at this moment he had to put that aside and had to move before the sun set. The most important thing according to his thoughts was to find a safe place for now.
He was indeed a powerful person, but running was not his specialty especially when his legs were next door, and the giant wolf he used to ride had died. It also reduces their sensory abilities. His smell, hearing and sight were not as good as when the giant wolf was still around.
Ki Bayu looked around.
I don't know where he is right now, "Damn, really shit!!!", he swore to me for how many times.
Never before had he felt this fear, his pride and confidence had fallen into disrepute.
All this time he had relied on the wolves and his magic, now all seemed to have been wiped out just like that. He did not even know which direction to go because this place was not his original place on the island of Java.
If he could find the streets then the journey should be faster, but it has been three days to find no roads or even just a path.
Behind him about a kilometer away was the forest he had just passed and now around him lay a vast field of weeds many kilometers away.
Ki Bayu fell again for the umpteenth time, his legs are mounted milestone can not feel the soft part of the ground so easily the fake feet are sinking and he lost balance, falling down to smell the ground.
Ki Bayu fell face down so that his whole face became dirty.
He wiped his face with his clothes, then spat out the ground and grass that entered his mouth many times.
He sat down for a moment to calm himself down and gazed up at the sky, a crow was seen hovering in the air above his head. The largest crow he had ever seen was almost twice the size of a normal one.
"Fuckin' shit, I'm not dead stupid" he meant. Surprisingly the bird even roared loudly like laughing at his misfortune.
After cleaning himself up, he again moved towards the North to find the company, seeking help. The hope is to return to the company, meet Suma and then ask to be given some soldiers as subordinates. That was the only way he thought of staying safe. Without him knowing that Suma had betrayed him
One other thing that worried him at the moment was the agreement to the devotion he had.
That is the agreement he has made with a wolf demon somewhere in Ciremai mountain West Java. Where she must give up virgin blood every twelve full moon.
The agreement was made decades ago when he was young and his village was terrorized by a white tiger, a tiger that left wounds on his face and skin is now worn as a shoulder cover.
The promised full moon now counts the days. Without the wolf mounts and the wolf so-so events as a bodyguard he became really difficult to move.
Attacking the surrounding villages to kidnap virgin girls would be very difficult, the residents could have surrounded him and it is possible that they will soon find out the weakness and defeat him.
If you usually walk with the pet people see it have run away scared and do not dare to approach. Now he's just a less creepy old man, and alone. Although it cannot hurt but people will gang up and tie it up, and if that happens, the incident that befell his two pet will happen to him.
Recalling this made him curry again, "Siall!!".
Now on a journey in the bushes far from civilization, he faintly heard the voices of some women in the distance.
Ki Bayu hurried to walk closer and then lurked from behind a trace. In the distance, four girls walked with a cloth beside their shoulders. They were villagers who were about to bathe into the river. Ki Bayu cheered excitedly in his heart, it seems like my luck has not completely exhausted his mind.
Moreover, there are four young women, one of them must be a virgin and can be used as an offering, I would not mind to check it one by one thought Ki Bayu chuckled happily, he said, lust that has been maintained requires him to be channeled first and immediately forget the problem.
With a sneak in the bushes he followed the four women walking towards the times.
These young women walked around jokingly, not knowing bad luck was lurking around them.
These women arrived at the time, and now Ki Bayu choked could not help feeling.
How not after looking around checking the situation and felt safe, these women in their twenties melolosi clothes on the edge of the times.
Jakun Ki Bayu so up and down swallow at this sight. If the situation is not bad it is definitely in the group of the girls.
Unfortunately the fun spectacle did not last long, the young women immediately wear a sarong, a fist limited to the chest to wet while bathing.
Likewise, their smooth shoulders and thighs can still be watched and that has made Ki Bayu bored.
These women soaked in the middle of a wide enough time with clear water shallow waist, joking cheerfully.
Ki Bayu tried to master himself considering he should not forget what his purpose was. Then slowly he approached the river, as soon as the girls let their guard down and picked up their clothes that were piled on the side of the times.
Immediately after stealing the clothes of the girls Ki Bayu went back to hiding in a nursery and re-enjoiced in the beautiful scenery.
On top of his head, without realizing it, the crow was still flying around for a moment to notice and then flew away.
The crow flew quickly across the field and the trees below, occasionally tilting its head to observe what was passed.
Seen a vast expanse of forest coupled with a stretch of green grass.
It was also seen that a large white tiger was passing by with someone sitting on his back across the field.
Quickly a few miles past the bird, and after crossing the forest he flew over the plantation and across the vast rice fields and houses of the people, then fly in the vast forest again to find the meadow.
In this meadow he swooped down towards the six figures dressed in all black who were sitting on the horses which were also black.
The bird went to one of the bodies. The body belongs to women wearing long clothes as if all black, with long hair draped a boat.
The woman was bowed on the horse with both arms raised to the side, her face was quite beautiful but looked cold, her nose was tiny, her lips were blackish blue in contrast to her white skin.
"Fosh!!" the crow hit the woman's head and disappeared without a trace.
As soon as the crow disappeared, the woman regained her senses, lifted her head and grinned horribly.
⚜️⚜️⚜️
Back to Ki Bayu who was busy enjoying the view from the edge of the times.
These young women suddenly realized the clothes they were living in by the river had disappeared into place.
They rushed over and looked around staring around in confusion. Not knowing where else to look, one of them shouted, "Oi who's hiding our clothes?".
"Udah wants the Maghrib, don't mess with you" said another petite.
"Don't shout loudly, lest it's the work of the mistress (Ghost) of water" said the other said slowly. They looked at each other with fear.
"Let's just go home" said the sweet black. The others nodded in agreement and they walked away from the river wearing only wet clothes.
The girls screamed in fear.
"Don't move!!!" ki Bayu said, his eyes wildly tracing the bodies of the four girls who opened on the shoulders and thighs down.
All distress seemed lost, imagined would enjoy the body of three of the girl in front of him. Not too pretty but enough to warm her escape until the full moon arrives. Three for me one for my lord, he thought.
Ki Bayu's distance with the four of them was too close, these girls were unlikely to run.
"Aa.why.your parents?" ask one of the bravest and most beautiful among them.
Ki Bayu did not answer, he advanced until he almost touched the girl's neck.
"You, tie the hands of your other three friends, don't try to escape unless you want this friend of yours to die!!" gertak Ki Bayu turned towards the sweet black while throwing the clothes and gloves of the girls he had stolen.
With fear the girl he commanded obeyed, and began to bind the hands of his closest friend.
Ki Bayu smirked. While watching the sweet black tie his friends Ki Bayu take advantage of the opportunity, his left hand was directed to feel the body of the girl at his stake.
Suddenly the sound of a tiger roar was very loud. His voice echoed around, all those who were there were shocked to hear it. Two girls crouched down because their legs were shaking, not standing up.
Following the roar, a white shadow figure leaped from the drop by the roadside.
Ki Bayu bounced because of a lunge that was so fast and sudden.
Then a white tiger almost as big as a buffalo stood upright just a few meters away from them.
Now the girls are shaking in fear.
"Don't be afraid of the children, I've come to help you" said the newly arrived White Cloud grandfather.
The girls were even more shocked because Datuk Awan had not been standing far behind them since when.
"Quickly you go, this old man let the patik take care of" he said.
The girls stared timidly then took their clothes that were lying on the ground and ran away from the place.
"Teri.kasih Datuk, thank you", they said tremblingly.
Ki Bayu who fell toppled over now rose furiously, his shoulders scratched quite deeply and shed blood.
"Damn", inwardly, it was almost Maghrib, but the sun was still visible so he could not hide his form as a shadow.
That is also what causes the giant white tiger can injure him.
It's a really unfortunate situation.
"Who are you parents, why interfere in my business" asked Ki Bayu growling.
"Well, we're old, but I'm not old like you, getting older is getting itchy" said Cloud Datuk.
"It's good to say what your name is in order to get my kris to carve a name on your headstone" Ki Bayu said bluffing.
"How about you say your name, because looking at your situation it seems like I will carve your headstone" Datuk Awan again chuckled.
Won't win with a tongue-licking with the people of this country thought Ki Bayu upset.
"Alright, you listen carefully, my name is Ki Bayu a swordsman from Java, currently I work for a company" said Ki Bayu again bluffing, said, he couldn't possibly fight this old man at once with his tiger. He hoped that by calling his name this old man would be scared and likely leave.
Datuk Awan white looks surprised, is this Ki Bayu? why is it this weak he thought, where are the demon wolves that are always with him.
"Why are you silent? are you scared? get rid of it before I slit you!!", said Ki Bayu, now he poked his dagger.
Datuk Awan seemed to wake up from his shock, "Aah it turns out you are Ki Bayu, I've been looking for you for so long" said Datuk Awan.
"What are you looking for me for?", asked Ki Bayu, he looked around and looked happy, the sun was gone.
Datuk Awan was startled then blinked his eyes, thinking maybe he saw wrong, Ki Bayu's standing position suddenly changed places.
This is part of science Ki Bayu, so not illuminated by the sun then his shadow will manifest into a real body, while the original body into a shadow so that at a glance just like he moved places.
Likewise Datuk Awan still looks calm, "I'm looking for you first because you have killed my nephew Leman and some members of the army led Awang. The second I was also looking for you because I was hostile to the company. The third as long as I hear you've been killing and terrorizing the people here, and that's a problem for me" he said.
"Damn", thought Ki Bayu, it seems like a battle is no longer possible to avoid.
"Alright if it wants you, you will die without a stranglehold" said Ki Bayu, feeling no use anymore to talk at length, he attacked with a dagger drawn towards Datuk Awan.
Datuk Awan chuckled, Ki Bayu's movements were too stiff with his wooden legs, before a prick until he pushed his leg to kick Ki Bayu's throat with the tip of his foot under the fingers. If it is exposed, it can crush the throat.
Ki Bayu looked at Datuk Awan's movements, "Once this old man's name is good" he thought.
Datuk Awan's kick to the throat directly in the palm of his hand.
Ki Bayu was now the one who chuckled, he advanced then his right foot made of wood was swept to the left foot of Datuk Awan. The attack that was otherwise avoided must have been extremely painful and dropped the Cloud Datuk to the ground.
Amazingly in the condition of the right foot is still in the palm of Ki Bayu's hand, Datuk Awan able to turn back while now his left foot is kicked to the elbow Ki Bayu.
"Bad!!!" yelled Ki Bayu, apparently the attack was just to provoke him. Now Ki Bayu's keris was released from his hand because his elbow hit the back of Datuk Awan's left leg.
Ki Bayu looked at his keris that was thrown into the air, he waited for the keris to fall to try to catch. But Datuk Awan is a great fighter, after having earlier sailed backwards while kicking the elbow, now after standing upright he shifted his left foot as far as possible to close the distance with the enemy. After resting on his left leg he gave a twisting kick towards Ki Bayu's waist "Duashh!!!", Ki Bayu famous a crushing kick at the waist bounced away, rolling several times.
Datuk Awan stood with his left foot, not lowering the right leg that had just been used to kick Ki Bayu. She gracefully showed off her balance using her stork style and caught Ki Bayu's keris falling right in front of her.
Ki Bayu nyusruk in the grass, "Satan, damn it!!", he growled. In his hand held the ground below him and then threw it towards the Cloud Grandfather. A futile attack, Cloud Grandfather chuckled tilted his body slightly dodging without changing the position next to the raised leg.
"If I see you do not have a good martial foundation, or maybe you used to be good martial arts but too often rely on your magic it makes your ability blunt" said Datuk Awan.
Ki Bayu understood what Datuk Awan meant, indeed he always relied on his pet wolf and shadow science, so his reflexes became dull, rather than dodging him more often giving his body to attack.
Now that his death was in the hands of Grandfather Awan, what use should he fight, he thought.
Finally he decided while the opponent had not known his weakness he would push forward as usual without a care for safety.
Then grab the gun.
