Wrong Target Pellets
#Betting and Fighting (2)
"If I don't want to go. What are you gonna do?" Rangga shouted defiantly.
" I'm going to have to throw you out !" answer Mbah Ageng. His hands were already preparing for the attack.
Rangga laughed spookily. Raised his hand and pushed it with all his might towards Mbah Ageng.
Mbah Ageng could not dodge because Rangga's attack rolled his body from all directions. With the remaining energy he had Mbah Ageng resisted Rangga's attack and tried to return it.
But the power that has been drained a lot to push Rangga away from the house of Sasi is not able to withstand all attacks Rangga. As a result, some of Rangga's attacks managed to injure the old body.
Mbah Ageng sat down while holding his chest. Trying to keep his body from falling to the ground.
Rangga laughed in satisfaction and prepared to strike back with even greater force. Blue light rolled back towards Mbah Ageng.
But before the blue light touched Ageng's altar, a beam of bright green light blocked Ageng's body.
Tommy stood up to Rangga. Cross your arms in front of your chest and stretch them wide while flicking them forward.
The blue glow from Rangga's rolling hands was outlined by the green aura from Tommy's flickering hands. It becomes a small light that spreads and then disappears in the darkness of the night.
Rangga growled in anger. Retracting his hand and pushing it hard towards Tommy who is now a stronghold of Mbah Ageng.
Tommy looked calm. He has got a message from Mbah Ageng how to respond to Rangga . And on the way, Tommy found a vision that Rangga could not be resisted with the same strength as his strength. But it must be with a layered strength that little by little eats away at its great power.
Therefore Tommy did not direct the attack directly forward, but channeled his power throughout the arms that stretched to the side so that the resulting power spread, not just focused forward. The results were very surprising Tommy himself and also Mbah Ageng who was still weak exposed to Rangga attack earlier.
Mbah Ageng smiled happily. This student's son is really a qualified swordsman candidate. Tommy is able to dig up the power and devise his own strategy against the enemy. Not only fixated on the teachings of Mbah Ageng alone, but also develop his own strength.
"That's okay?" Tommy asked worriedly while remaining vigilant on Rangga's movements.
" No papa, don't think about it. Just focus ahead. Mbah will recover the power for a while. You face Rangga yourself first." muttered Mbah Ageng withstood the pain.
Tommy nodded and prepared to welcome Rangga's next attack. The point is Tommy does not want to laugh and attack first. He will only retaliate against the attack carried out by Rangga.
However, Tommy feels new to the magical world like this. He felt he could not do anything so very careful in acting and only intended to defend himself.
" Why are you quiet? Let's attack me if you feel great and can match me." shouted Rangga .
The creature's tone of speech was full of anger and jealousy towards the human in front of him. The one who had made Sasi turn away and open her heart. Fading his dominance and power to the heart and soul of Sasi who had been so strong to bind Sasi.
Tommy just shut up. I want to answer but don't know how. Does he have to answer? Does it matter? Tommy just looked at the creature in front of him. Beware of what the creature will do to her.
Rangga snorted to find Tommy was not provoked at all by his challenge. He was very upset because it turned out Tommy was very calm and calculating even though he thought Tommy was still a boy yesterday afternoon who had just learned kanuragan science. It really can't be underestimated.
Stifling his legs while raising his hands. The blue light rolled back towards Tommy and Mbah Ageng.
Tommy who was preparing began to concentrate his strength on his two hands. This time his hand moved around in circles in front of his body. The bright green light that shot out from his hands formed straight lines, like thousands of swords ripping apart the surging blue light scrolls coming towards him.
The blue light wave was also ravaged to be destroyed by thousands of green-colored light swords belonging to Tommy. It splits into tiny flashes of light that then dim and disappear before it gets to its destination.
Rangga was running out of energy. How insolent. How could that snot child destroy his strength so easily? Almost without sweating. But he had desperately expended all his knowledge and power.
And behold. The child has no emotions . Seeing him calmly without anger or hate. There was not even a proud or arrogant look even though he had repeatedly managed to dispel his attacks that even his teacher, the old man was unable to deal with it until injured.
Rangga began to lose his confidence. The young man before him did not even answer his challenge. Rangga's heart grew increasingly upset. With the last remnants of his strength Rangga issued his ultimate stance. The power he had never used all this time because it would endanger his own soul if it failed.
The stakes are the disappearance of his own soul. Very risky, but he had to maintain his pride in front of the snot boy who had already snatched away his much loved one. Stealing his bride-to-be, his lover for a dozen years, Sasi.
" Rangga, why not just give up?" Mbah Ageng now no longer calls Tuan to Rangga. Mbah Ageng felt that Rangga did not appreciate it even though he had tried to humble and respect it considering that Rangga lived far longer than him.
" Don't be arrogant old man. I haven't lost. You have not seen all my abilities" replied Rangga arrogantly. Hands clenched. His feet put up the horses preparing his flagship style.
Mbah Ageng sighed. He knew Rangga would act recklessly to endanger his own soul for the sake of his pride.
" Think once more Rangga. We didn't ask for much. We just want you to understand and accept your different nature with Sasi . Leave Sasi and we can still live peacefully side by side even in different realms. Do not interfere with each other and interfere in each other's affairs." gently Mbah Ageng tried to knock Rangga's consciousness.
For a moment Rangga was pensive to hear the words of Mbah Ageng. There was actually a doubt in his heart considering his strength was almost exhausted to fight with Ageng and Tommy earlier. If he does this, the stakes are his own soul.
But as soon as he saw Tommy and all the advantages the young man had, the pain in him rebelled and was torn apart. Feeling devastated by the crushing defeat of the snot youth. Lose in seizing the heart of Sasi and now on the verge of losing in a science battle. Rangga felt it was meaningless to be in the world with all the defeats.
Tommy's cold, expressionless face made him feel meaningless and down. So before all that happened, he wanted to fight to the point of the ultimate blood. He won't give up that easily.
Rangga raised his face, staring at Tommy and Mbah Ageng.
" Fight me boy! If I lose I'll leave Sasi. But if you lose this time, you also have to give up Sasi's soul for me." furious Rangga.
Tommy sighs. What a tough bet. Tommy does not know how big the ultimate power Rangga. If he serves the challenge of Rangga, can he win against Rangga?. If he loses, ah! Nah!
Tommy doesn't want to lose. He had to win for Sasi. But he's not that sure.
" Mbah?" Tommy looked doubtfully at his spiritual teacher. Mbah Ageng just smiled
The old man seemed to say" This is your gamble personally. If you are sure, be able and face the challenge. But if you have any doubts, we'll think of another way, don't you dare to sacrifice yourself for Sasi?"
" I am willing to sacrifice my life even for Sasi Mbah. But I'm not willing to give Sasi's soul to that crazy thing." murmured Tommy.
Tommy nodded and smiled. His intentions that had wavered at this time re-strengthened. Besides there is Mbah Ageng, he will let me lose and give up Sasi just like that. Tommy's spirit is burning.
Two people of different ages were aware that Rangga did not press the peace request from Mbah Ageng. The creature instead of subsiding even intended to strike back.
Mbah Ageng and Tommy get ready.
" He mustered all of Tom's soul core strength. Be careful." whispered Mbah Ageng slowly.
Tommy nodded, a little giddy but brushed aside quickly. I have to solve Rangga's problems tonight if I want my marriage to go well. Not only was it smooth at her wedding, but her domestic life with Sasi was next, which was much more important.
Tommy felt the ground he was treading vibrate. The longer the vibration gets tighter until it shakes his footstool.
Tommy took a deep breath and exhaled his cleavage. Trying to channel the power from within his body into his legs that started shaking. Slowly but surely his legs back firmly grounded. Even as if stuck and will not be easily swayed again.
As Rangga raised his hand, the cold immediately ambushed in that place. Now the breeze attack accompanied by a roaring blue-colored light charged towards him mercilessly.
Tommy staggered slightly as he held him back. But before long his eyes could see a small dark blue dot rolling within the roaring wind surrounding him.
Tommy raises both hands, then his hands like squeezing and rolling, continues so much faster that a bright green ball is created in the palm of the tag. With great force, Tommy smashed the ball of light in his hand at the blue dot in the middle of the wind scroll that Rangga sent.
Telak hit the target until a powerful explosion was heard in the dark night.
Duarr!!
Along with a loud shout Rangga broke the silence of the night. The handsome figure of the blue aura tumbled backwards. It's finished. His eyes look sad. The pain so clearly surrounded his shining face.
Mbah Ageng stood limped. The wound still felt chest tight. But he had to see the aftermath of the battle of Tommy and Rangga.
Earlier, all that looks is Tommy who was rolled in a blue whirlwind. Mbah Ageng had panicked, worried that Tommy was injured could not face Rangga who exerted all his strength.
But his hope came when he saw a beam of green light emanating from the wind scroll*****pick that locked Tommy up. The light was getting bigger and bigger until a circular green light shadow bounced into the night sky .
Before long there were explosions from the two forces that collided, followed by cries of pain resounding heartbreakingly.
" Tom..!" mbah Ageng half yelled to Tommy's name.
The blue light that rolled Tommy's cleavage faded. Now only a green light enveloped the body of the handsome and dashing young man Sasi's future husband.
Tommy's hand was still rolling the glowing green ball. Tommy's fissure pressed his palms together, until the green ball he was holding disappeared. The young man then sighed while opening his eyes.
" Mbah?" he shouted as he ran to the choked ageng altar standing looking at him.
He hugged the handsome young man tightly. The old man was so grateful to find Tommy nothing less. Only his clothes and his entire body were drenched in sweat.
" Maturnuwun Gusti Allah" Mbah Ageng thanked as he patted Tommy on the back.
" Let's see Rangga Tom." Mbah Ageng stepped towards Rangga who seemed to be lying helpless.
" Is he still alive? " ask Tommy. In the depths of his heart, Tommy still hopes that Rangga's wounds are not too severe and can still be saved.
Tommy suddenly felt his heart ache. Imagine if he was Rangga. A lonely soul who finds his love in the wrong person. And now I have to lose everything. His love, his strength might even be his life.
A soul that goes in unbound solitude. No one cares or gives us a little empathy. Tommy cries for Rangga.
" He's gone Tom.." muttered Mbah Ageng sadly. Rangga's body began to lose its aura. And cleavage but it must have disappeared without a trace.
Tommy's sobbing harder. " I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like this. I'm just defending myself." lamented Tommy on his whim.
" It's not your fault. We tried our best for him. But he chose his own knight path. He left with the honor he guarded until the end" Mbah Ageng patted Tommy's back looking shaken.
" Is there nothing we can do?" tanya Tommy still hopes Rangga survived.
" There's. But still can not restore his soul ." replied Mbah Ageng.
" What do you mean by Mbah?" Tommy did not understand.
" Rangga said Sasi's house was his home. Mbah suspected that Sasi's house was the palace of the young man. We'll check out your future wife's house. Who knows we can find a clue who Rangga is. Maybe we can pay the last decent homage to Rangga. So that his soul is calm in the afterlife" Mbah Ageng whispered softly
" Yes mbah. I concur. I'm sure he's actually a good guy. It's just a wrong way because love is blinded. I don't hate him. Even now feel sorry for him." Tommy looked up at the dark sky. Imagine how tragic the fate of Rangga
Love.suffering is endless....
" Let's go home Tom. You get married tomorrow, and now fight. You should rest quietly so that tomorrow fit when you meet Sasi..hahaha..mis a mess like this Tom?" mbah Ageng chuckled. Tommy laughed too.
" After this I can sleep peacefully. No one would bother Sasi or our family any more. I don't know how to return the favor and thank you. If there were no Mbah, maybe I would never have married Sasi." Tommy thanked Mbah Ageng sincerely.
Mbah Ageng laughed.
" It's not because of Mbah. These are the provisions of the Gusti of Almighty God. Mbah's just an intermediary who happens to have a mandate to guide you, Tom. And thank God we can finish what He has planned well."
Tommy and Mbah Ageng hugged each other. Relieved, although it feels tight because someone has to go with the wound. But sure, good intentions will be forgiven from Him.
