The Arkana: The Demon Hunters
Persist

The promised day arrives, Yasa and Bowo do not know when the enemy will attack. However, the biggest possibility is when it is dark to pick up

This afternoon they were both busy with their own business. Yasa sat in meditation as his mouth incessantly muttered, while Bowo was seen beating up a gunny sack filled with sand.

Bowo struck the lump of sand that became his sams with full force. The sound of his punch sounded very loud.

At one point he stared at his right fist. "Well, gini is delicious," he muttered monologously while moving his fingers. Thanks to the physiotherapy carried out by the association, the recovery of the man's hands went well and quickly. Now he is ready to fight with his full strength.

After feeling enough with his training, Bowo went inside to rest. He prepares his stamina for whatever happens later.

...****************...

Towards a dim day, Ratnakusuma began to move. A car arrived and parked neatly in the front yard.

Arkanta got out of the car along with Darmanta. His arrival was welcomed by Santi.

"Died Adit who has not been there," said Santi. "You rest first, Ta. We'll be busy."

"I've heard the outline of my sister's problems" Arkanta said.

Now the direction of Santi's face moved to Darmanta. "You want to go straight home, Ta?"

"Yes" answered Manta. The man walked away towards Tantra.

After the death of his wife, Manta's father married a widow with one child. Arkanta is Darmanta's half-brother. They have no blood relation. It's just that coincidentally their nature and disposition are similar.

"Okay, now we gather in the meeting room" Santi told Arkanta. "We're putting together a plan. We've got little time."

...****************...

On the other hand Aditya Wirabuana is sitting enjoying the view of the road from the car. He has entered the area from Klaten. The Captain was accompanied by two of his members who were a middle-aged man and a young man.

Coinciding with the dimness of the day, thin fog accompanied their journey to force a stop on the roadside due to the lack of views.

"Sir, Slamet" said Rizky, the young man in the back seat. The young man's feelings were not good.

"Yes, this is a mystical fog. We were taken to Alam Durjana" replied Mr. Slamet who was sitting in the steering chair.

Aditya got down from the car and stared intently towards the front. He smelled a very familiar scent and immediately ran to the side while staring at the car behind him.

"GET OUT OF THE CAR!" shouted The Captain.

DUAARR!!!

One of the association's operational cars was charred by a black fire. Luckily two of his subordinates managed to get out right before the car exploded. They came out shortly after Aditya got out of the car.

"Well, wow, wow, not to be a fried person," said the voice of a man who Adit knew enough.

"Yudha Kiranata" he murmured.

"Didn't see you for a long time, yeah." The figure of Yudha emerged from behind the fog. "How are you, Dit?"

"Nearly dead" answered Adit. "Lu?"

"At least good too. How, how, want to coffee first, right? We'll have a little chat first."

"By, here's the cave of manakin. You like hot coffee, don't you?" reply Adit. He took out a keris from beside his clothes, and took it out of his nest.

He grasped the keris tightly, then swung it into the air. "Surya prabha," murmured Adit.a bright light emanated from his Krisnya. Once a large number of atmas have accumulated at the end of the keris, Adit again paddles his kris and directs it towards Yudha. Suddenly, a heat wave shot towards the man.

"Ardhraksha Pralaya." Yudha slid her fist towards the wave that shot at her. At that instant, Adit's wave of red flames was engulfed by Yudha's black flames. "Keris Surya Kusuma, huh? I haven't seen that heirloom in a long time."

Aditya was a colleague of Yudha in the past, but different superiors. They have an almost similar ability, which is to manipulate atma into fire energy, or also called 'agni'.

"What's your goal?" ask Adit.

"Just play around." Yudha smiled. "This means you can't go anywhere."

Adit. He looked at his two subordinates. "You get out of here, Ratnakusuma needs your help."

"Well, there are only two sneaks" replied Yudha. "But ya—good luck to your destination anyway."

"What the fuck?!" Rizky.

There is friction between Aditya and Yudha conflict in this place.

...****************...

On the other hand, when Bowo and Yasa were sitting in the middle room enjoying the transition from light to dark, they suddenly goosebumps feeling an unbelievably terrifying killing aura.

"Wo" said Yasa.

"Yes, they arrived" Bowo replied.

Bowo looked at his trembling hands. It felt like this gripping aura was almost the same when he faced Dursasana, but this time it was not as strong as it was a few days ago in Surakarta.

Yasa walked towards the front and opened the door with his index finger attached to the middle finger like a gun-making pose. He pointed his hand just in case, who knows when the door opens there are enemies waiting. But when the door opened, there was no one out there.

Bowo walked past Yasa and stood facing the gate, while Yasa faced behind, guarding his partner's back.

"So, you're the one, huh?" ask the voice that appeared between Bowo and Yasa. The two men shuddered and each stayed away from each other to keep their distance.

A figure that was about the same height as Yasa appeared suddenly in their midst. It has bright red eyes and an intimidating grin.

Seeing that figure, Bowo and Yasa also kept their distance. Bowo drew closer to the gate, while Yasa returned towards the door.

"Don't you scare them, Bebasura" said the voice of the girl from the trembesi tree.

"We take the little ones alive, which means we can kill the big ones, right, Kerikala?" tanya Bebasura while chuckling. The figure was drooling that dripped every time his laughter broke.

"Whatever," replied Kerikala. "Again, the bald one who had killed the Gorimpa. If not killed, then Mr. Dursasana will be angry."

Bebasura and Kerikala are two subordinates of Dursasana like only Gorimpa. Lebasura had a sinister appearance with a petite body like a child, but with fiery red eyes and an intimidating smile. While Kerikala has the appearance of long hair and a carefree face. However, his expression displayed an evil excitement.

"Then you take care of the little ones. I take care of it big, Kerikala," said Bebasura. "I love Arkana's blood."

"okay." Kerikala came down from the branches of the trembesi tree and approached towards Yasa.

Yasa muttered a protection spell and aimed at the girl with his hand. As he cast a crushing spell, a wave shot from his fingertip towards Krikala.

Kerikala dodged the attack and ran quickly towards Yasa while laughing cheerfully. Hearing her laugh gave Yasa goosebumps. He showered the creature with bullets from the spells he cast. However, Kerikala can nimbly avoid it.

At one point, Yasa smiled. "Maos."

Kerikala was silent for a moment when her feet landed after jumping there and here to dodge Yasa's attack. The demon accidentally stepped on the trap peg planted by Yasa in the courtyard. Instantly an astral explosion occurred and made Kerikala bounce with a smoky body.

"How does it feel to be a fried devil, heh?" ask Yasa meledek.

Kerikala is back. "TAU SICKLE!" He sounded angry and put his palms together. "Hearted sky," he murmured softly full of pressure. A large red eye appeared behind his body. "Dursasana needs you alive, but doesn't say that you should be taken whole! I'm going to destroy your dreams, little man!"

Yasa sensed the danger from the big red eyes that appeared behind the girl, but he did not hesitate in the least. The boy cast a protective spell that surrounded himself with a blue light.

"Don't feel like you can intimidate me, Devil!" yasa said firmly. "I've fought many creatures like you."

Meanwhile, the big red eyes behind Krikala did not blink staring at his opponent. Slowly Yasa felt the colors around him begin to fade and be replaced by red light.

Yasa tried to fight back. He casts a destructive spell and releases a strong wave of atma towards Kerikala. The wave was moving towards the demon at high speed.

"YES!" shouted the figure of the man standing in place of the figure of Kerikala in his position. Yasa's attack hit him, leaving the man lying on the ground covered in blood.

Yasa's eyes widened to look at the figure he knew so well. "Bos ...," said Yasa.

"You want to have a family, but when what you want is achieved, you destroy it. You killed a man who thought of you as his own son, Yasa Kanigara!" krikala exclaimed in an understatement. "You're just a weak man, Yasa. Your dreams are shattered, and now it's your turn!"

The eye of the sky is one of Kerikala's techniques that is able to show the human dream he is staring at and give the illusion, then throw the dream as hard as possible with a bitter and sharp upside reality. Kerikala is a type of demon who likes to destroy his opponent's dreams right before killing him.
