Ulong Dagger

The Journey of the Old Wolf

"Who are you?", asked Datuk Awan.

Currently they stood facing each other on three camps, Ki Bayu who stood alone, then Datuk Awan Putih with a white tiger and a strange woman with five troops.

A cold wind blew on them there.

After a drop of tarpaulin runs out around them, it is clear the shape of the woman and the five people who are with her.

The men around the woman were silent as statues. Their hands were wearing iron gloves limited to the elbows, which had been seen glowing as they struck and deflected.

"I'm sorry I forgot to introduce myself" said the woman grinning.

"My name, I've forgotten myself, it's been a long time that no one has called it, but people have called me Ni Gaok" he said in a flat tone.

Datuk Awan looked at this woman named Ni Gaok fixedly. Strange, if you see the look of this woman like she was only in her twenties, but the voice and way of speaking like parents thought.

"What do you have to do with me?", asked the White Cloud Grandfather.

The woman did not answer, while looking at Datuk Awan she moved her hand up slowly, her long nails were black, her index finger was pointed at Ki Bayu.

"Braven you, what is your business with me?" snapped Ki Bayu angry at the accusation like that.

Ni Gaok turned his head towards Ki Bayu, "it's my business, not yours", he replied in a threatening cold tone.

Simultaneously ended the speech in the flick of his index finger, although only a snap of his finger but felt a strong wind towards Ki Bayu with a black shadow seen coming out of the index finger.

A mediocre attack can hit a weak Ki Bayu in the fight, especially now that comes an attack that only looks like a black shadow as big as the index finger. The attack was like a slash of an arrow, as fast as Datuk Awan's movement slashed his neck earlier. This time too Ki Bayu did not have time to avoid and hit a mouth on his left chest. It was clear that the attack of the black shadow was piercing through his body.

Fortunately he was under the influence of shadow science, so there were no injuries suffered from this attack. His body just slightly jerked backwards.

Grandfather Awan watched closely, and he was completely shocked by Ni Gaok's unexpected attack just now.

Ni Gaok stared intently, there was no look of surprise on his face seeing the opponent not dead. Twice his attacks hit Ki Bayu in a landslide. First, when he shook his hands until the grass was exhausted, all those who were there managed to avoid it except Ki Bayu. Now the style of the heart split also hit without causing injury.

He attacked just to test Ki Bayu's magic which Suma said could not be harmed, and it turned out to be true.

Currently the remaining question is the disappearance of three wolves that according to Suma's story always with Ki Bayu. One thing was out of the ordinary but in his favor.

As the opponent proved to be unharmed, Ni Gaok muttered softly chanting a spell.

"Another black magic", Inner Cloud Grandfather. He felt the air around become cold swirling and then there was a black vapor coming out of Ni Gaok's body.

The five men who were half-conquering quietly in front of Ni Gaok immediately jumped forward without being ordered. They moved with a fast but stiff movement stormed Ki Bayu.

Ki Bayu was immediately overwhelmed by these enemies. Their numbers were too many to fight alone, especially now that he was empty-handed.

The first person's blow to the face can be tackled with the arm, "Duash!!". Ki Bayu was surprised that the attack was very strong, he was pushed back. The second attacker kicked towards the stomach, but in a dazed state he was still able to avoid by moving sideways.

"Let's go Datuk, let them finish their business" whispered Datuk Awan. The white tiger growled and walked with Datuk Putih leaving the location.

The opponent did not seem to be in the mood to attack him and he did not see a single favorable thing against them either, which caused Datuk Awan to simply leave the location of the fight.

A kick now managed to hit the stomach Ki Bayu made him fall backwards. Not to mention he was standing properly, another enemy attacked from behind kicking his calf wrist followed by a punch to the ribs.

Ki Bayu hit back as much as he could, a punch successfully landed on the face of the opponent in front. But just like him, this opponent also felt nothing.

"What kind of science are they using, why does his face feel hard and cold" Ki Bayu thought in surprise.

Now the opponent behind who had kicked the base of his calf, swung both hands backward.

"Damn", said Ki Bayu.

Silver Expansion.

One day after Heidrich marched with his army.

Heidrich is not a fool, he knows Suma's tools. He also loved this hunt. The sense of justice and humanity in him was wounded by Ki Bayu's behavior. Especially considering the pet of this vile parents can hurt Nilam, a beloved girl and considered her own nephew.

After revolts everywhere had been overcome, and the irregulars could no longer carry out attacks, now Heidrich's job was to maintain security. At least he can contribute to reducing the suffering of society. And according to him Ki Bayu as one who makes the suffering worse must be punished.

It had been one night one day that Heidrich led his troops combing the rivers and springs around the expanse of silver.

They deliberately comb watery places because every living thing will need water, not least Ki Bayu.

It's already afternoon.

After a day of fruitless searching Heidrich ordered his soldiers to pitch a tent around a grove of trees on the bank of a river.

Heidrich was walking with Jhon to watch over the tent's stance as the horse approached. Heidrich looked at the sound of the horse.

They stopped the horse and then went down and handed the reins to some of the soldiers there.

Heidrich called a soldier nearby and gestured to give him his drink bag.

The soldier rushed to give drink bags to the newly arrived soldiers.

In a hurry they took turns drinking from the canteen.

"What's wrong?" heidrich asked in wonder.

"The Port of Belawan was attacked by the commander" said the soldier while wiping his wet mouth.

Heidrich and John were shocked to hear this.

"Who's attacker?" ask Heidrich.

"It is not known, possibly the lascars" said the soldier.

"It happened this morning before dawn, one of our warships was stolen and with the stolen ship the enemy fired and sank the four remaining warships" the soldier continued.

This is a novelty, Heidrich thought, rarely attacking from the sea.

Or these might be pirates from the strait of Malacca. If that's true then this is a serious matter, he thought.

Heidrich immediately ordered his members to provide new horses for the newly arrived soldiers. Then ordered Jhon to lead fifty soldiers following these three soldiers to move northeast to the city of Belawan.

Without anyone noticing, a crow flew across the encampment. After circling for a moment the crow drifted away towards the west for about three kilometers where Ni Gaok was sitting cross-legged around his five guards in the middle of the meadow.

At that time Ni Gaok only wore kemben, his outer clothes were placed on the grass not far from him.

Seen some tattoos adorn his body from the shoulder to the arm, pictured several crows in various poses, only on the left shoulder that there is no tattoo.

The crow that flew over was seen crashing into Ni Gaok then "Fwoosh", missing above his head.

After the crow disappeared Ni Gaok awakened from his semen, then slowly appeared a new tattoo with another crow on his left shoulder.

"Now!!", he opened his eyes.

The five bodyguards without saying anything rushed up their horses speeding towards the cluster of trees in the Northeast direction.

It looks like Ki Bayu is lying under a tree. He's been there six days unconscious. There was a dark circle around him that made him unconscious, a magic circle made by Ni Gaok.

A boy Ni Gaok got off the horse and lifted Ki Bayu's body and put it on his horse. After that he also rode the horse while holding the body of Ki Bayu who was face down yet also realized.

They rode to near the tent of the company. Then after staying another five hundred meters away from the company forces, the person who brought Ki Bayu dropped Ki Bayu's body.

"Bruk, gusrak!!", Ki Bayu fell like a sack of rice in the grass.

After dropping Ki Bayu's body, the guards of Ni Gaok spurred their horses to rush away from the place.

⚜️⚜️⚜️

John was no longer visible from sight, the sound of his horse was not heard anymore, already about fifteen minutes they were gone.

Heidrich continued walking around while occasionally giving directions to his men.

But before long, there was noise in the tent to the North. Heidrich heard that and rushed over.

Seen his troops were aiming with a rifle in hand, then about twenty meters in front of them was seen an old man walking limping approaching.

"Hey wait, it's me" the old man said excitedly.

Heidrich stared in shock, unexpectedly Ki Bayu who was being sought just approached them.

"I'm Ki Bayu", said Ki Bayu introduced himself to the soldiers, all the soldiers who prepared to aim were shocked to hear the remark.

Then a gunshot rang out, either the soldier who opened fire, could not be sure. Because almost all of the company's soldiers are crowded there.

One shot was heard, and the other soldiers immediately followed the shot.

The sound of barking beds enliven a quiet afternoon like a series of unpretentious firecrackers.

Ki Bayu stared with a confused expression, he did not expect that the company actually attacked him.

After staring at the shooters he looked towards his body and grabbed it.

The body was full of gunshot wounds, the hot smoke of gunpowder was still coming out from his wounds, and blood was pouring out endlessly. This is a time when the sun is still shining so that his abilities have not yet appeared.

Heidrich could no longer do anything, only able to see Ki Bayu who stood for a moment staring at them with a pushy look then staggered and collapsed.
