Fire & Ice Attack

The undead army circled around the forest area that was still damp from the rain earlier. Starting from the bushes, trees and waterfall area, everything was explored by them. Arya Santanu and Dewi Sari Kencana couldn't leave there for a while. They chose to stay put until the undead troops left the area. However, the undead leader general sensed the presence of the humans not far from their place.

"Everyone, follow me, we're heading to that village over there!" The undead general shouted loudly.

The roar of a thousand moving horse treads made the ground tremble. They left Arya Santanu and Dewi Sari Kencana's hiding place without knowing their whereabouts.

"They left? But where are they going?" Dewi Sari Kencana was curious.

"They must be targeting a nearby village. The villagers have done nothing wrong. If we leave them alone, they will all be killed by the undead." Arya Santanu was worried.

"Then we must save them. Arya Santanu, we must hurry!" Dewi Sari Kencana looked at the young man.

Arya Santanu left immediately. He asked Asura for help to use his power. A stream of fire energy enveloped Arya Santanu's body. His clothes that were wet from the rain slowly dried after being exposed to the fire energy. 

"Quick, I'll carry you." Arya Santanu directed both hands. He prepared to carry Dewi Sari Kencana.

"Wait! Why are you carrying me? Can't we walk faster? Sorry, I can also move very fast." Dewi Sari Kencana left Arya Santanu in place. She immediately moved as fast as a gust of cold air. 

Dewi Sari Kencana is an ice and water element user. Her magic could also heal and she was a medicinal plant expert. 

"Oh, I see. I'm surprised, really." Arya Santanu's flat face felt that he had just been flatly rejected. 

Arya darted off using a lightning move that transformed her fire energy into propelling her body to move more agile and fast like lightning. 

A thousand horsemen cut through the forest with their footsteps. The vibrations from the constantly moving footsteps began to be felt by the Ratubumi villagers. The gaze of everyone who was working, trading, and passing around the village turned towards the forest that was not far from the village entrance. 

All the eyes of the Ratubumi villagers were wide-eyed when the undead general arrived and began to stop right in front of them. The thousand cavalry soldiers who were behind the general immediately drew long spears at the shocked villagers who saw the undead army.

The general's burnt face with so many maggots coming out of his wounds became the center of attention of the villagers. The fishy and burnt smell of the undead spread throughout Ratubumi village. Some children even hid behind their parents while covering their noses. 

"Did you see a young man with hands like demons? Tell us!" The undead general shouted loudly.

The villagers looked at each other. They didn't understand the meaning of the undead's words. Even the village chief Ratubumi could only shake his head. He wanted to say a few sentences, but he was so scared when he said them.

"No?! Really! Can't you speak?! Or should I pull out your tongues and eat your brains?" The undead general dismounted from his horse and approached the village chief who was standing not far from his horse.

"Mercy... forgive me...." The village chief knelt down to worship the general.

The undead general's sword was swung at the village chief's neck. However, a few seconds before the sword was lodged in the chief's neck, Dewi Sari Kencana parried the general's sword attack and pulled the chief's body, then threw him backwards to save the chief. 

"What?!" 

The undead general gasped. He retreated slowly. His sword eyes seemed to freeze.

"Who are you?" The undead general asked.

"I, Dewi Sari Kencana. The enemy of king Kala Karna! And friend of Arya Santanu!" Dewi Sari Kencana smiled.

Suddenly from the back of the undead army, one by one they were reduced to ashes, along with their horses that had become undead. Some of the undead warriors were confused by the sudden attack. 

"Red flame burst technique!"

BRAR!!!

Red flames spurted from Arya Santanu's mouth. The explosion was so big that it burned several undead troops. 

"What?! You bastard!" The undead general looked annoyed.

Some of his troops immediately scattered and avoided the burst of red fire. Not long after, Arya Santanu stopped his shooting. His right hand had turned into a demon hand. 

Hot air in the form of thin smoke billowed from his demon hand. The undead general recognized the demonic energy coming from Arya Santanu's hand. He approached the young man and left Dewi Sari Kencana who parried his attack.

"Asura... is that you?" The undead general asked.

In an instant, Arya Santanu's consciousness changed. Asura had completely taken control of the young man's body.

"Undead. Oh, I remember those demons who used you to fight in the past. Rahu and Ketu, right? The two youngest siblings who were the losers of my thirteen brothers. Hahahaha!!! Pathetic! Does he want to kill me? Or kill this young man?" Asura smiled. His sarcasm irritated the undead general.

"Watch your language, Lord Asura! Lord Rahu and Ketu are very powerful. If they both come here, then you will die." The threat had been given. The undead general was very confident in his master's power.

Asura took offense. The undead's words assumed that he was so weak. He did not hesitate to move quickly and strangle the undead general. 

"Hey, idiot! You think I'm so easy to die? Do you think that stupid master of yours can cut my neck or this young man's neck? How arrogant of you." Asura whispered in the general's ear that smelled fishy and rotten.

The undead general immediately swung his sword and stabbed Arya Santanu in the stomach. Unfortunately, what he stabbed was a shadow or duplicate of himself made of fire. Slowly the shadow burned and literally flew into ashes.

"Have you finished the meeting?" Dewi Sari Kencana turned to Arya Santanu who had just appeared beside her.

"Of course. Asura is also ready to burn them all." Arya Santanu's demonic hand flared up violently. Red flames enveloped the hand.

Arya Santanu's consciousness completely returned to herself, but her body when moving would be guided by Asura itself. So, the two of them seemed to share the task of fighting against the undead. Dewi Sari Kencana immediately took out her ice lotus sword. It was shaped like a rapier sword with a light blue lotus flower carved on the tip of the hilt. 

"Insolent! Kill them both!" The undead general had given his order. 

The undead army quickly charged at the two of them. Dozens of spears and swords were drawn towards Dewi Sari Kencana. She dodged all the attacks and swung her ice lotus sword. Every sword slash that hit the bodies of the undead, they all instantly froze into ice cubes and slowly crumbled to the ground. 

Arya Santanu was not to be outdone by the woman. Her skill in dodging undead attacks allowed her to burn dozens of approaching undead. The young man stabbed, grabbed and swung his right hand towards the bodies of the undead. Instantly the undead were burned by red flames and soon turned into black ash.

The two worked together to finish off the thousand undead troops with a combination attack between the fire and ice elements. 

"Two-thirds of your army has been killed. It will soon be your turn, general." Arya Santanu threatened him. 

"I won't let that happen, Asura." Suddenly, from behind the trees, a figure walked up to the general.

"You?!" Arya Santanu was startled. An unusual aura of energy emanated from the creature.
