As Ethan and Budi approached the temple, the air grew heavy with an unsettling stillness. The structure loomed before them, its ancient stones weathered and covered in creeping vines that twisted like dark fingers against the facade. The entrance was framed by jagged carvings of grotesque faces, their expressions frozen in eternal agony, which sent a shiver down Ethan's spine. He hesitated, recalling the treacherous encounter with the Leak just moments before, his instincts screaming at him to be cautious. The last thing he wanted was to fall into another trap.

Stepping inside, they were enveloped by a thick, musty odor, a blend of damp earth and decaying offerings that clung to the walls like a shroud. The flickering light of the candles cast eerie shadows that danced across the stone surfaces, creating an almost hypnotic effect. The flames swayed gently, as if alive, illuminating the intricate murals that depicted scenes of ancient rituals and dark entities, their eyes seeming to follow Ethan and Budi as they moved deeper into the temple.

Ethan's heart raced as he scanned the interior, every creak of the floorboards beneath his feet echoing ominously in the silence. He felt the weight of the shaman's warnings pressing down on him, the fear of the unknown gnawing at his resolve. The atmosphere was thick with tension, and he could almost sense the presence of unseen eyes watching them from the shadows. Budi, sensing Ethan's unease, whispered reassurances, but the air was charged with an energy that made every breath feel heavy.

In the center of the temple, the old shaman knelt before a flickering candle, his frail frame shrouded in tattered robes that whispered with every movement. His skin was a map of deep creases, each wrinkle telling stories of countless years, while his long, unkempt hair cascaded like shadows around his gaunt face. The shaman's eyes, sunken yet piercing, glimmered with a haunting wisdom, reflecting the flickering light as if they held secrets of the dark.

His voice, a raspy blend of Javanese and Indonesian, dripped with urgency as he spoke, the words tumbling from his lips like a warning. "Kau harus mengambil garam dan abu, itu akan melindungi kamu," he warned, his breath labored, each syllable laced with a wheeze that echoed in the silence. Budi, standing close, quickly translated to Ethan, his voice trembling slightly as he relayed the shaman's dire message. "You need to take salt and ash; it will protect you."

The tension escalated as the shaman's gaze sharpened, locking onto Ethan with an intensity that sent chills down his spine. "The Leak is in the woods waiting for you, the Pocong will be waiting for you just outside this temple," he continued, his voice growing fainter with each word. "She can't come in but will wait for you out there." His hand trembled as he gestured toward a dusty jar in the corner, "Salt and the ash can ward it off, it is in that jar over there."
"You are lucky the Sundel Bolong didn't break that,she can get in here at will after all,"

Then, with a sudden, labored breath, he stopped, his expression darkening. "How did you know the Sundel Bolong can get in?" Budi asked, his voice barely above a whisper. The shaman remained silent, lifting his shirt to reveal a gruesome wound, blood seeping through his fingers. "She got to me first," he gasped, before collapsing to the ground, lifeless.

Ethan was first to step outside the temple when he saw Adhwa at the bottom of the stairs. His heart raced like a drum in his chest. He could feel the heat radiating from Adhwa, or what was left of her, as she stood at the bottom of the stairs."Adhwa!" he shouted, his voice filled with a mixture of relief and disbelief, as he sprinted down the stone steps, yearning to embrace her.

But just as he reached the last step, Mr. Budi's strong hand clamped onto Ethan's shoulder, yanking him back with a force that jolted him. "No! Stay back!" Budi commanded, his eyes darting toward the darkened threshold of the temple. Adhwa moved closer to embrace him and unbeknownst to her she had forcefully crossed over a talismanic range. Half her face was scorched off before she fell back and took her original form, the Leak. Transformation into the Leak was swift and terrifying. Her body contorted, and the air crackled with malevolence as the creature emerged, half-formed and dripping with shadow. "You motherfucking old man! I almost had him!" it screeched, rage lacing every word.

The Leak's voice was a chilling mix of Adhwa's tone and something far more sinister, echoing through the temple, reverberating against the ancient stones. "Not on my watch!" Budi shouted back, his voice steady despite the fear coursing through him. He stepped forward, determination etched on his face, but the Leak merely laughed. "You are in no position to command me! I answer to no mortal!" it retorted, its eyes glowing with a predatory hunger.

With a swift motion, Budi ascended the stairs, his hand reaching for the shaman's talisman that hung ominously over the door. As he descended, the air grew heavy with dread, and the Leak vanished into the darkness, only to reappear with a sudden ferocity. A massive stone, seemingly summoned from the very depths of the dark forest around, hurtled toward Ethan. It struck him squarely in the face, sending him sprawling backward onto the cold, hard ground.

Dazed and reeling, Ethan felt the talismanic seal slip from his grasp as his foot crossed its boundary. In that instant, the Leak seized its opportunity, lunging forward and wrapping its cold, clammy fingers around his ankle, dragging him into the suffocating darkness. Panic surged through him as he clawed at the earth, trying to resist. "Ethan!" Budi shouted, leaping forward with a desperate urgency, but the Leak's grip was ironclad, pulling him deeper into the shadows.

With a surge of adrenaline, Budi lunged, grasping Ethan's outstretched hand just as he was about to disappear completely. The struggle was palpable; Ethan could feel the strength of the Leak trying to wrench him away, its malevolent energy suffocating him. "Take it!" Budi shouted, thrusting the talisman into Ethan's trembling hand.

In a moment of clarity amidst the chaos, Ethan grasped the Leak by its hair, feeling the slick, unnatural texture beneath his fingers. With a primal scream, he yanked its head closer, forcing it into the range of the talisman. "Now!" he cried, and with a swift motion, he plunged the talisman into the Leak's head. A guttural scream erupted from the creature as it dropped him, writhing on the ground, the unseen fire igniting within its core.

"You stupid mortals, it burns! You will burn with the fires of hell, I curse you so!" the Leak howled, its body convulsing in agony. Ethan watched in horror as the creature twitched violently, the air thick with the stench of scorched flesh and the sound of its pained cries echoing in the chamber. Blood seeped from the wound, pooling around it, a grotesque sight that made Ethan's stomach churn.

Then, with a final, horrific burst, the Leak exploded, showering the temple in a torrent of blood, splattering Ethan and Budi in a gruesome display.
