The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Arya’s Tears
Wisnu scratched his head, confusion clearly etched across his face."Grandfather, Elder Mandalasura and the Cakrabuana Kingdom suffered a defeat. My men reported as much, and Elder Mandalasura’s whereabouts remain unknown until now."Sastra Wijaya frowned, disbelief flickering in his eyes at the news he had just received.Yet he saw no sign of deceit in Wisnu’s expression or gaze.In the hierarchy of black sects, Mandalasura only held the seventh rank. However, in terms of members, the Shadow Demon Sect was notably large for a black sect—ranked among the top five overall.His eyes stared into the distance, sensing something deeply wrong—and cursing himself for not keeping up with developments in the kingdoms he intended to conquer.“Was there a white sect that aided the Jaya Buana Kingdom?”“No, Grandfather. The Jaya Buana Kingdom relied solely on its own forces,” Wisnu replied.Sastra Wijaya stroked his fine-be
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Injustice
The little girl was puzzled by the demeanor of the young man who was hugging her. She even heard an apology softly whispered from his lips. Arya quickly wiped away his tears when he saw Ratnasari and Princess Laras walking toward him. He didn’t want to appear weak in front of them. But it was too late. Both of the beautiful girls had already seen Arya crying while embracing the little girl. “What’s wrong, Arya? Why are you crying? And who is this little girl?” Princess Laras bombarded him with questions. Ratnasari only gave a faint smile, seeing the princess of King Wijaya Kusuma unaware of Arya’s tender heart—how he couldn’t bear to see others suffer. Especially now, as the one in his arms was just a small child. “She’s an orphan and begs just to survive,” Arya said, then lifted the little girl into his arms. Princess Laras was stunned. She hadn’t expected that the man who had
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Dewi’s Story
The woman shook her head. "I’m not like the other townspeople who heartlessly let that little girl go hungry. Even if not directly, I often gave her food. I was afraid that if the others found out, they might shun me too.""How did you give her food without doing it directly?" Arya frowned. "Was it through someone else?""If it were through someone else, that would be suicide. In a situation like this, I couldn't trust anyone." The owner of the eatery gave a bitter smile."So, how did you do it?""That little girl often scavenged for food in the trash, so I would place food in the bin outside so she could find it. It’s filthy, I know, but I had no other way," the woman explained, then fell silent for a moment."But for some reason, I haven’t seen her for the past two days, so it feels pointless to keep leaving food there," she added, puzzled."So that’s the story?" Arya slowly nodded his head. "You’re truly a kind perso
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Confession
A knock on the door made Arya rise to his feet. His steps moved instinctively as his fingers reached for the doorknob and opened it. Ratnasari and Dewi were already standing outside Arya’s room. Their smiles bloomed with happiness. Dewi, who already had a naturally beautiful face, looked even lovelier after being properly cleaned. Arya crouched down in front of Dewi and looked closely at the little girl's face. I'm sure Mother will like this little girl, he thought to himself. “Dewi, from today on, I accept you as my sister. Anyone who treats you badly is asking for trouble with me. I will not let anyone hurt you or make you cry,” said Arya. “Is what you said really true, Kakang?” Dewi asked curiously. “Do I look like I’m lying?” Arya asked in return. Dewi looked into Arya’s eyes for a few moments, then shook her head. A second later, she ran into Arya’s embrace as he
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Human Trafficking Syndicate
The scorching midday sun blazed overhead as the mighty sun perched high in the sky. A group of about 30 people was seen walking along a narrow path, heading into a forest. Leading the group were two individuals on horseback, with two others riding at the rear.Among them were 15 men dressed like warriors, occasionally kicking at eight young men who walked unsteadily. Their feet were bound together, making their steps awkward and labored.A cart followed behind, carrying a metal cage in which five young women sat huddled. Their faces were etched with overwhelming fear, and their eyes were swollen from crying incessantly.“Our haul these past few days has been impressive, Restu. The boss will be pleased with what we’ve captured,” said a burly man wearing an earring on one ear.“You’re right, Barda. Looks like we’ll be rewarded by the boss, hahaha!”Restu smiled broadly, his gaze fixed on a handsome young man walking at the back of the eight captives with bound feet. “We’ll sell the othe
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Saving Hole
"Stop, you bastard!" shouted Darsa as he kept running after Arya. His breath was heavy, matching the quick pace of his footsteps.Thirty meters ahead, Arya's heart pounded like a war drum beaten repeatedly. The handsome young man did not glance back even once to see how close Darsa was behind him.Arya ran with all his might. His only thought was how to escape from the clutches of those who wanted to sell him."Stop, Arya! Don't run!" Darsa shouted again.Arya was the name the young man had given to the people who had captured him. In truth, he didn't remember his real name or where he came from. He remembered nothing except waking up suddenly on the banks of a fast-flowing river.While searching for food to fill his growling stomach, the human trafficking syndicate found and captured him.The gap between Arya and Darsa gradually narrowed. Physical ability and combat skills clearly made the difference. Arya was a young man with no knowledge of martial arts. Although his physique was s
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Monkeys of the Abyss's Depths
"If Restu and Barda ask, just tell them the young man is dead, as you’ve seen. Now let’s leave this place!" Darsa said as he walked away from the edge of the hole.His four companions followed Darsa's brisk pace, their minds still occupied by Topan’s death—a man who had always been with them.Arya's body, however, lay unconscious after falling into the hole. The handsome young man slid through the long, slippery tunnel until he finally landed in a place filled with moss-like plants, slightly elongated but with a bluish-purple hue.Towering trees reached upward, as if without end. Dozens of monkeys—clearly the inhabitants of this place—played cheerfully, swinging from the long roots that stretched all the way to the ground.So engrossed were the monkeys in their play that they didn’t immediately notice the presence of a foreign figure, utterly different in appearance from them.For a while, Arya’s body remained motionless. His clothes were torn in several places from scraping against r
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Magical Moss
"Alright. For the time being, until your memories return, I will call you Arya. You can call me Sarwana or King Sarwana," said Sarwana with a soft chuckle.Arya couldn’t help but smile at Sarwana’s amusing expression when he laughed. The atmosphere instantly became lighter with their laughter echoing outside the hut."How about staying here for an indefinite time until you regain your memories?" Sarwana continued, posing the question after his laughter subsided.Arya was silent for a moment. He still remembered the cruelty of the human trafficking syndicate members that led him to fall and end up at the bottom of Panguripan Gorge."Why are you quiet and not answering my question, Arya?" Sarwana asked curiously."I want revenge on them! But how? They must be eradicated so no one else becomes a victim of their cruelty!" Arya growled in anger.Sarwana squinted, staring intently at Arya. Suddenly, he was reminded of a human he once knew."Why does this young man share the same spirit as h

Ambition
The main reason, of course, was that he feared he wouldn’t be able to keep up his act if he was always near his mother. That was why he would keep his distance from her while in the palace.The massive and sturdy gates of Sastrajingga Capital City were already visible in the distance. Dozens of soldiers stood guard on either side of the gate, their sharp eyes scanning the horizon—especially those stationed at the watchtowers.“His Majesty has arrived! Open the gates!” A loud voice barked out the command. A tall, broad-shouldered soldier with a thick mustache stood atop the watchtower, pointing toward the approaching entourage of King Dharmalaksana.The twin iron gates, each seven meters tall and three meters wide, groaned loudly as several soldiers pushed them open. The sheer weight of the gates required multiple men to move, even just to crack them open.The massive size of the gates was understandable, considering Sastrajingga was the
Sastra Wijaya
After Arya agreed to the wishes of the ruler of the Sastrajingga Kingdom, all members of the Red Snake sect were gathered together. The young man gave them a chance to change for the better. His offer was to become soldiers of the Sastrajingga Kingdom. But before making the offer, Arya had already consulted with King Dharmalaksana. The majority of the Red Snake sect members were willing to become part of the Sastrajingga Kingdom. Only a small number chose to return to their homes and reunite with their families. Before leaving the mountain, Arya erased all the inner energy they possessed. He did this to ensure no traces of dark power remained when they became soldiers. He did the same for those who chose to return to their families. Dozens of soldiers and former Red Snake sect members who had declared their readiness to serve the Sastrajingga Kingdom stayed behind to bury the stiffening corpses. Meanwhile, a
A Heartwarming Reunion
Arya stood frozen, stunned to see Princess Laras sobbing as she embraced him. His broad chest, covered by his clothing, was wet with the tears flowing from the corners of the princess’s beautiful eyes, whose beauty rivaled that of Ratnasari.If Ratnasari hadn’t been beside him, he would have surely returned the embrace to comfort her.However, something unexpected happened. Ratnasari stepped forward and stopped directly in front of the two of them, whose bodies were close together. She placed her hands over Arya’s and wrapped them around Princess Laras's back.Arya gazed into the eyes of his beloved. There was a look of wonder and a silent question in his mind that needed an answer.Responding to the confusion reflected in Arya’s eyes, Ratnasari smiled and nodded.Now Arya realized that King Wijaya Kusuma’s words, about Ratnasari being willing to share her heart with Princess Laras, were true. Even so, he felt the need to ask wh
The End of the Battle
Reso was irritated by the question asked by Prawiro. To him, such a foolish question should not have been directed at him. Especially considering Prawiro’s status as one of the elders of the Red Snake Sect, he should have been able to think more broadly and wisely."Do you want to die in vain without fighting back? It's clear that young man won’t let us go, and you’re still asking what we should do?" Reso retorted.Prawiro was offended by Reso’s words. He stood up, no longer willing to help his friend to his feet. He glared at Arya for a moment, steadying his breath.Reso was puzzled by Prawiro’s attitude. He had been patient with Prawiro’s sometimes childish behavior. Like now, for example. It was clear Prawiro was sulking due to the harshness of his words.Unexpectedly, Prawiro lunged to attack Arya. The red staff in his hand spun rapidly before he thrust it forcefully toward Arya’s neck."Don’t be rash, Prawiro!" Reso shouted
Attempt at Peace
The two old men couldn’t hide their shock. As elders of a black sect based in the Sastrajingga Kingdom, they couldn’t detect the nature of the energy emitted by the young man. Normally, just by sensing the pressure alone, they would have been able to tell.Realizing the danger that could easily cost them their lives, Reso took the initiative to make peace with the handsome young man."Wait, Warrior… We’ve never had any conflict before. So I hope this fight ends here."Monk Red Venom was surprised by what his comrade said. He didn’t expect the one known as the Serpent King Warrior to surrender so easily.Reso hadn’t exactly said the word “surrender,” but by offering to end the fight, it was essentially the same thing."About my men—I’ll order them to withdraw, Warrior," Reso added."What are you doing, Reso? Why are you giving up so easily?" Monk Red Venom growled in frustration."Do you want us to die in vain, Prawi
