The Stupid of Laweyan's Shoulder
Chapter 77: Finding the Way

A wisp of black smoke, gathered before Zayan. Then it changed, becoming human-like. With a pale face and all-black clothes, the figure laughed.

"You, man, what can you do against me?" The words of the man, managed to make Bagas ketar-ketir.

"How's this, Le?"

"Father, mother and Echa, calm down. That thing won't be able to touch us right now." Zayan tried to calm the family.

"You want to take my bride? Don't dream in broad daylight!"

Caraka flicked her finger to launch an evil magic towards Zayan. However, he was shocked when a shield suddenly appeared encompassing the humans earlier.

"Grandfather?" caraka Gumam. He looked over here, looking for a figure he had never met for hundreds of years. However, empty. There was no one there but the four humans.

Caraka laughed too.

"So, is this what you're doing, Grandpa? I'm not surprised, he's been enslaved by a lowly creature named man."

"Don't equate Grandpa Nirwasita with you! He's nobler than a creature like you, who only attaches selfishness but is not self-conscious." Zayan said out loud, denying Caraka. He did not like the words spoken by the creature.

The figure in all black clothes snorted furiously. He re-launched a magic attack to break the silvery shield protecting the humans in front of him. Mesha was terrified, he closed his eyes. But in his heart, he prayed, asking for the help of the Almighty.

With all his strength, Caraka kept trying to break through the magical shield earlier. Only Zayan and himself could see the shield's lander.

Zayan also tried to recite the prayer he remembered. When the shield began to thin, a ball of light shot in. Breaking Caraka's shield-breaking magic.

The figure of a shady-faced grandfather with all-white hair and clothes, floated, not far from Caraka.

"Already, Le. Please, stop it!" Nirwasita asked Caraka with a soft tone of voice.

Caraka turned to the source of the voice. He recognized.

"It's no business, Grandpa!" caraka Refutation.

Forcibly, Nirwasita called out his wand. Firing energy towards Caraka, until the creature bounced out.

Bagas and Mayang, now confused, when he saw the figure of Nirwasita.

"Le, who is he?" ask Bagas to Zayan.

"That's Nirwasita's grandfather, sir. My grandfather's friend."

Outside the house, Caraka and Nirwasita meet. They attack each other and shoot magic. Initially, both were out. However, eventually, Caraka began to be cornered. He left, flew away and disappeared into the air.

Nirwasita walks into the house. The magical shield was already open.

"I cannot linger in front of many people. It takes a lot of energy for this. For the time being, you're safe. I'll make a temporary occult fence, so that the boy can't get in when he gets back here."

After saying that, Nirwasita turned into a ball of light, then darted away.

Bagas and Mayang, sitting down, the two of them, slumped, limp.

"Mom and Dad, is it okay?"

"Yes, Le. It's the second time we've seen the all-black creature."

"That's the creature that Echa saw as a child, sir."

"Yes, Nduk. You understand now. Why aren't you, Cha?"

Zayan said goodbye, after confirming that Echa and her family were fine.

Arriving at home, Zayan met his Mbahkung in the room, which turned out, was talking to his natural friend.

"I'll take Zayan to practice a little at my place. I've already invited him, and it won't take long.

"Don't one day be there, equal to one moon in the human world?"

"For creatures like us, time is just an illusion. If we are bound by time. Surely, we don't live long like this."

Nirwasita waved when she saw Zayan open the door to Arsyanendra's room.

"I've been waiting for you. Get ready, I'll take you to my cabin again, Le, Zay!"

Arsyanendra nodded, signalling that he would allow it.

Without questioning or refuting, Zayan hurried to his room. Take off the jacket and put down the bag. Without changing clothes, he immediately performed worship. Then, back to Arsyanendra's room.

Nirwasita held Zayan's wrist. In an instant, the two of them had already moved dimensions. Walk slowly in the luminous hallway.

After walking for a while, Zayan saw the log cabin he had once visited. Now, the flowers that were blooming in his front yard, were of different colors.

Nirwasita released Zayan's hand. A moment later, he closed his eyes. His right hand was stretched into the air. Suddenly, a long beam of light, shot out to the palm of his hand. The hand grasped the long-dense beam of light. It looks like a sword of light. Then, the man opened his eyes.

"My energy was exhausted a lot during the fight. Same with Caraka. It's just, because of his young age. He recovered quickly and may have tried to get inside the house and bring his bride."

"Then, what am I supposed to do, cake?"

Nirwasita gave the shining object she had caught earlier to Zayan. The object shortened, then disappeared, into the palm of the young man's hand.

"Hundreds of years, I developed my abilities, for white magic. Make this sword of light. Now, you need this more, Le."

"Yes, Cake. I accept it, thank you."

Nirwasita asked Zayan to sit on the bench in front of her cottage.

"Which I hear, you get practice from your teacher. May I know?"

Zayan nodded, then explained what practice he was going through.

"That's pretty good. I'll add a little more to your protection if the boy attacks you again. First of all, close your eyes, summon the sword with a call through your heart."

Zayan did as Nirwasita asked. Then, a light shimmered from his palm. Slowly elongated, then it resembled a sword.

Nirwasita got up from her seat.

"Now, try to attack me with that thing!"

"But, Kek ... This is right .. how about ...."

Nirwasita smiled.

"No need to worry about me. It's my creation, he won't hurt me."

Zayan attacked Nirwasita with movements like a silat stick that he had learned in the pesantren. Nirwasita fought him with her magic wand.

The movements of the two beings, at first glance, look like a dance, so graceful. But basically, it was a martial arts move.

The atmosphere darkened around Nirwasita's cottage. He told Zayan to rest. It is a sign of the night in nature.

"So, there's also night here, cake?"

"Of course, Le. Creatures like us also need rest like humans." Nirwasita. Then, he plucked a finger, a small glow of light, emerging from his fingertips. It then slid into round-shaped objects hanging in several places in its hut.

For a moment, the simple little hut was already illuminated by fleeting objects like lights in the human world.

Nirwasita invites Zayan into a room that looks small. However, when opening the door. Inside it looks so big. A room with ornaments and all-wood furniture. There was a big bed in the middle of the room.

"Rest first, Le! Time will travel fast in this realm."
