Hydra's voice echoed once again in Arya's mind. "Why are you so foolish, Arya? You possess power far greater than his, so why not use it?""I can't see his movements!" Arya retorted."Channel a bit of your energy into your eyes and focus. At first, it will sting, but soon you'll be able to see his movements clearly.""So that's how it works. Alright, I'll try it," Arya responded.Before Reksapati could attack again, Arya quickly channeled a small portion of his energy and concentrated it in his eyes.The battle resumed. Reksapati was stunned; the young man who stood before him could now read his attacks. Every move he made was easily countered, and the young man could even strike back, limiting his movements."You look surprised, old man! If you think you can toss me around like earlier, then forget it!" Arya taunted, growing more confident that he could defeat the leader of the Evil Eagle sect this time."Finish him quickly, Arya! If not, your eyes will start to bleed," Hydra warned.

Moments later, an earth-shattering explosion was inevitable. The ground trembled violently as if struck by a massive earthquake. The vibrations spread far and wide, felt even kilometers away. No living creature within the explosion's radius could have survived the devastating impact.Reksapati screamed in disbelief. His most powerful technique was incapable of containing the immense energy descending from the heavens. After the black mist eagle was destroyed, the dragon emitting a bright red aura continued its descent, crashing directly into the leader of the Demon Eagle sect.Within a 30-meter radius of where Reksapati was struck by the Majestic Dragon King technique, a two-meter-deep crater was formed. Hundreds of trees were uprooted and fell under the pressure of the enormous energy unleashed.The forest was now transformed into a shallow valley. If heavy rains were to occur that day, a large new lake would certainly form.After confirming that Reksapati was nowhere to be seen, Ary

After recalling her memories, Ratnasari suddenly furrowed her brow. "I just remembered something, but I'm not sure if it's true or just as you accused. Long ago, my father once received a report that a group of merchants would pass near our sect. Afterward, he gave orders—I'm not sure what kind of orders—to Suroto to handle it swiftly and discreetly." Arya smiled faintly while nodding his head, causing Ratnasari to grow curious. "Why are you smiling like that?" she asked. "Swiftly and discreetly is a code from your father to rob that group of merchants without leaving any trace or witnesses. In other words, all those merchants were to be killed so no one could report the incident to anyone else," Arya explained. "So that's how it was..." Ratnasari sank weakly into her seat, shocked by the extreme methods members of the Demon Eagle Sect used to survive. "That's how the dark arts operate, Ratna. They employ all kinds of vile methods to fill their bellies. It’s not uncommon for

Without further ado, Darsih began eating the dish she had just taken. She transferred bite after bite of food into her mouth until everything was in her stomach.“Done, Elder,” she said.“All right. You may go back,” replied Sumoharjo.Darsih nodded and walked out of the hall.After Darsih’s departure, Sumoharjo instructed his men to follow the maid to observe her condition after consuming the food.An hour passed, and the food had turned cold. The member assigned to watch over Darsih returned to the hall.“How is she?” Sumoharjo asked, curious.“She’s fine, Leader. There’s no sign of poisoning,” the man replied.Sumoharjo furrowed his brow, pursing his wrinkled lips. Disappointment etched itself in the lines of his face.“It seems you were wrong, Sumo. Darsih hasn’t poisoned anyone. All the members of this sect have indeed gone on an attack, but we don’t know where,” said Suto.“Forget it. Let’s eat first!” Sumoharjo said, weary of his incorrect assumptions.Suddenly, Darsih re-enter

"That's okay. I was just about to look for you to tell you that the process of neutralizing the dark element in Ratna's body is complete," replied Sarwana.Arya smiled warmly. His gaze shifted toward Ratnasari until their eyes met. The beautiful girl blushed and quickly looked away.Even though they had met daily for the past week, Ratnasari still felt shy when making eye contact with Arya. She didn’t know why, but it was most likely because of her growing feelings for the handsome young man."I came here to ask about that as well," Arya replied. The young man then sat beside Ratnasari."And what about her martial arts skills? Are they also gone?" he continued."Don't worry. None of Ratna's martial arts skills are lost. Only her toxic spells have been deliberately removed," Sarwana explained. The large ape stood and walked toward a small cabinet. Opening it, he retrieved a small cloth-wrapped package before closing the cabinet again.Sarwana then sat cross-legged in front of the two y
