The young man remained silent for a moment before emerging from the lake. His usual firm and steady steps were nowhere to be seen.Hydra watched Arya walk toward him with a puzzled expression. “What’s wrong with you?”Arya didn’t answer right away. He sat cross-legged near the two Dragon figures, who were currently in their human forms.“It’s true,” he muttered.“What do you mean?” Hydra asked again.“He is a prince from a great kingdom, Hydra. I told him to immerse himself in the lake to restore his memories,” Wira Atmaja interjected, answering Hydra’s question.Hydra blinked several times, confused by Arya’s demeanor after regaining his memories.“You’re acting strange, Arya… Shouldn’t you be happy that your memories have returned?”Arya took a deep breath. He still wasn’t ready to speak further. The truth he had just uncovered weighed heavily on him—not because of his status as a prince, but because he didn’t know how to face Ratnasari.“You’re really foolish, Hydra. You’ve followe

The young man's steps moved quickly and came to a halt after he entered the cave.The astonishing events continued to bombard Arya's mind. The entrance to the cave he had just stepped through suddenly vanished. Meanwhile, the space inside, which should have been narrow, was completely different from what he had imagined.Before him now lay a place entirely unlike what he expected. There was no more grassy field or cave interior, but instead, a vast lake surrounded by circular hills."Where are we now, Grandpa?" Arya asked in confusion."Sit down, Prince!" said the old man, calling Arya "Prince." He sat cross-legged on a bed of soft white sand, as smooth as a heavenly carpet.Arya looked around, hoping to find someone else nearby, but to his surprise, they were the only two present. Not even birds or other creatures were in sight."Who are you talking about? I'm not a prince like you think," he protested, then took a cross-legged sitting position across from the old man."My name is Wi

The young man looked around, gathering his courage. He realized that the figure speaking to him was not like the dark sect warriors he had fought before."Are you the guardian of this forest, Grandfather?" Arya addressed the figure as "Grandfather" based on his voice, which sounded like an old man."Is it proper for someone being questioned to respond with a question? But it's fine—I’ll answer you, young man." The figure suddenly vanished and reappeared beside Arya.Arya gasped in shock and fell to the ground. Fortunately, he managed to regain control and landed on his feet.The old man chuckled as he watched Arya staring at him. "Don’t just stand there—come up!"Arya nodded, then leaped lightly and sat beside the old man."I do guard this forest, young man." The old man observed Arya closely, then smiled. "I should be angry because you've disturbed my long slumber."Arya furrowed his brows, confused by what th

The reddish aura emanating from the sword's blade, combined with the immense energy it radiated, successfully shocked the leader of the Iron Claw School, further shattering his confidence. His body trembled slightly, and cold sweat trickled down his skin despite the chilling air.Although he knew nothing about the sacred sword his opponent wielded, he could sense that it possessed far greater power than his own weapon. This realization only heightened his wariness.However, the man known as the Iron Claw Warrior refused to surrender so easily. He would rather die than give up without a fight, he thought.His sword spun rapidly in his hand before he suddenly lunged forward to attack. "I'll kill you!"Arya, already prepared for battle, moved swiftly, blocking the attack with his sword.A fierce close-range duel erupted between them. Walang Sungsang’s rapid movements were met with equal speed by Arya. The clash of their weapons fre

The leader of the Iron Claw Sect pulled both his hands slightly to the sides and behind him. His fingers formed a claw-like shape, and his nails darkened, extending slightly. His knees bent, and his body lowered into a battle stance.With a single breath, he lunged forward to attack once more. "Iron Claw Strike!" he shouted fiercely.From the way his opponent’s nails had turned black, Arya could guess that the technique contained poison. He didn't want to be reckless when fighting a warrior skilled in venomous arts, even though he was confident that his body would remain unharmed due to his frequent consumption of Tundra Moss.His vigilance increased sharply as he observed his opponent’s shifting techniques.Arya pulled his body back just as his opponent’s poisoned claws nearly slashed his throat. Swiftly, he launched a strike aimed at his opponent’s chest but was forced to withdraw the attack when Walang Sungsang’s left claw targeted his head first."Damn it!" he cursed inwardly. Ary

"I already suspected that you were the one who leaked my arrival here, Kertapati!" Arya said in a pressing tone.Kertapati's eyes widened in disbelief at what he saw before him. The man he had opposed for the position of Grand Commander of the Jaya Buana Kingdom was now standing right in front of him."L-Lord Grand Commander…," Kertapati's voice trembled.Like Kertapati, the soldiers surrounding the old man were equally shocked by the sudden appearance of the figure among them. Especially when Kertapati addressed him as the Grand Commander.Suddenly, Arya's right hand gripped the old man's neck and lifted him several inches off the ground."A traitor like you doesn't deserve to live any longer, Kertapati.""M-mercy, My Lord. Please don't kill me," Kertapati pleaded, his voice breaking as his airway was compressed."Tsk, tsk… You're asking the wrong person for mercy. You should repent before I take the place of the god of death and claim your soul!" Arya clicked his tongue before tight
