The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Suspicion of Sutojoyo
Without hesitation, Ratnasari invited Arya to meet Sutojoyo in the hall. The beautiful girl wanted answers to the curiosity that lingered in her mind regarding the arrival of the two leaders of the Scarlet Blood Moon sect."Who are they?" Arya asked, equally intrigued."They’re from the Scarlet Blood Moon sect. I don’t know why they’re here, but I have a bad feeling about their presence," Ratnasari replied as she kept walking. "The Scarlet Blood Moon sect is one of the eight rulers of the dark factions, and their two leaders rank sixth.""And your father?" Arya asked again. He glanced briefly at the beautiful girl before looking straight ahead. In terms of experience in the martial world, especially regarding the dark factions, Arya was still very green and far behind Ratnasari, who was a former member of the Baluran Black Sect."My father ranks last," Ratnasari replied briefly, stopping in front of the hall door.Without knocking, the beautiful girl pushed the door open and stepped i
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon A Trap for Sutojoyo
"You can go wherever she pleases. Later, I'll give you part of the treasures stored in Father’s room as a provision," Ratnasari said with a smile to Darsih. "Now, let’s go to Father’s room!" she added. Darsih nodded. The middle-aged woman stepped forward, following Ratnasari, who had already exited the room. Deep down, Darsih felt heavy-hearted about leaving the place she had lived in for over twenty years. She could return to her family, but she wasn’t sure they were still around. During her years at the Devils Eagle sect, she had only returned home once, and that was fifteen years ago. After that, she had no news of her family. Not long after, they entered Reksapati’s room. Ratnasari knew exactly where her father usually kept his treasures. She opened a small cabinet in the corner of the room and retrieved a small wooden chest adorned with intricate carvings. "After this, you must leave this place immediately," Ratnasari said as she opened the small chest. She took out a pouch o
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Arya vs Sutojoyo 1
"Why do you ask like that?" Sutojoyo's wrinkled forehead grew even more pronounced."What I mean is this, Elder. I feel that the leader of Reksapati possesses extraordinary abilities. Not to mention the Black Eagle sword that he relies on. How does the martial arts of the Reksapati leader compare to yours, Elder?" Arya explained and asked.Sutojoyo became more confused by Arya's question. "What exactly is in your mind by asking like that? Do you want to join my school?""No, Elder. I’m just trying to compare the Devils Eagle school with the one you lead. Logically speaking, if the measure for determining the position of a leader in the black sect is martial ability, then the Reksapati leader should be ranked above you," Arya said.Sutojoyo stood up, his emotions flaring. "Watch your words, young man! If you think that because I am paired with Sumoharjo, I can only be in the sixth position, then you’re gravely mistaken. Even if I were alone, Reksapati would still be beneath me!"Arya r
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Arya vs Sutojoyo 2
Due to the immense power exerted by Sutojoyo in his attack, a loud explosion was heard immediately.Thick smoke and dust billowed into the sky from the collision of the great energy between the two warriors, who were vastly different in age.Arya's body was pushed back five steps. Meanwhile, Sutojoyo, who was actually in an attacking position, was also pushed back a step further. His body was flung and nearly crashed into a sturdy tree behind him."I will never lose to you, boy! You will pay for Reksapati's death!" Sutojoyo shouted before charging at Arya again.A close-quarters battle resumed. Their movements were so fast, with each increasing the internal energy they unleashed.Elsewhere, Ratnasari moved to attack Sutojoyo's four subordinates. The title of "Devil's Angel" she held was not just an empty name. In a relatively short time, all four men had already fallen lifeless.As the day drew closer to night, the battle between them was still evenly matched. Sutojoyo then drew his p
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Arya vs Sutojoyo 3
The darkening atmosphere narrowed Sutojoyo's focus to merely surviving until the moon shone brightly. He was confident he could only win using the Bloody Eclipse Slash technique. Occasionally, he launched attacks to disrupt the movements of the young man."You will never kill me, boy!" Sutojoyo shouted. After dodging the blade aimed at his ribs, he swiftly counterattacked, thrusting his sword straight toward Arya's exposed chest.The searing heat rushing toward him forced Arya to step back a few paces while parrying. The Fire Dragon Sword moved swiftly, shielding his chest.Clang!The sharp sound of metal clashing echoed loudly. Although made of meteor stone, the hardness of the Fire Dragon Sword surpassed that of any metal or its kind.Arya was slightly puzzled by Sutojoyo's movements, which were predominantly defensive. Although the older man occasionally attacked, his strikes seemed half-hearted."I must finish this fight quickly," Arya thought to himself. He knew he had to defeat
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon End of the Battle
Finally, the clash of their energies erupted violently. A powerful explosion reverberated through the forest, toppling trees in its wake.Ratnasari quickly channeled her inner strength to withstand the immense pressure pressing against her body. She knew the energy's force could rupture her blood vessels if she didn’t resist it.Her gaze remained fixed on the thick clouds of dust and smoke obscuring her vision. Unease surged through her mind like relentless waves. She feared something had happened to the young man who had captivated her heart.The beautiful girl gathered her courage to move closer. She unsheathed the two swords strapped to her back, ready for any possibility that Sutojoyo might still be alive.Though the risk to her safety was great, she paid it no mind. Her thoughts were consumed by Arya’s fate. If the handsome young man met his death, she didn’t know if she could go on living.Her delicate footsteps brushed against dry leaves and grass scattered on the ground as she

"You and I share the same fate, Ratna. We both have no one left in this world. I may still have parents, but I don’t know who or where they are. All memories of my parents and family have vanished from my mind. Right now, you are the closest person to me, and I am the closest person to you."Ratnasari couldn’t hold back the torrent of tears pooling in her eyes. Her sobs escaped as her tears spilled onto Arya’s shoulder.Arya’s words touched the deepest part of her heart. Even her own father had never spoken to her that way. Her hands tightened their embrace around the handsome young man now holding her."I hope these will be your last tears, Ratna. Even if someday I leave you forever, don’t let your tears fall again. Every meeting inevitably leads to parting; it’s a certainty we cannot avoid," Arya continued.Ratnasari released her embrace and gazed intently into Arya’s face. "Why are you saying that?""Because I am a warrior. Death could come for me at any moment," Arya replied.Ratn
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon An Unintentional Meeting
"What’s wrong, Arya?" Ratnasari asked, whispering. Her eyes followed Arya’s gaze, but she saw nothing."Just wait, they will appear soon!" Arya replied in a soft voice."Who are they? Are they members of the Red Moon Sect?" Ratnasari’s heart began to race."Seems not. They’re coming from a different direction than the path we walked before. I don’t know who they are, but I heard the sound of a woman screaming, and there are many of them.""Woman’s scream?" Ratnasari raised an eyebrow, showing her curiosity.After waiting a while, dozens of people emerged from the dense forest in the distance. Arya frowned and then smiled widely."Like the proverb says, ‘The longing for the summit brings the bird to the dish,’" he said.Ratnasari then looked at what Arya was seeing. However, the question remained—why was the handsome young man beside her so cheerful?"Do you know them?"Arya nodded. "Do you want your martial arts skills to be useful?""Of course. What’s the point of practicing martial

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
The King Serpent Warrior’s Aid
Arya merely shifted his body slightly, allowing the red beam to shoot past just a few inches in front of him. As he dodged, a smile spread across his face—mocking, almost taunting his opponent’s attempt."Don’t you have anything faster than that?" Arya sneered."You arrogant brat! That was only the beginning!" shouted Monk Red Venom.The old man in all-red attire leaped forward, raising his staff high before swinging it down, aiming straight for Arya’s head."Die!"Blaaar!Monk Red Venom grunted in frustration. The powerful strike he launched missed completely, striking only the sandy ground and sending a thick cloud of dust into the air. His vision was quickly obscured, leaving him unable to see where his opponent had gone.Fortunately, the strong mountain wind soon dispersed the dust cloud. When visibility returned, the old man saw that the young warrior was no longer in front of him."Don’t you run
Monk Red Venom
The beautiful girl narrowed her eyes, gazing up at the mountain. With her heightened sense of hearing still sharp, Ratnasari tried to locate the source of the battle."Arya, there's a fight. The sound is coming from up there!" Her slender index finger pointed to a spot."If you train your senses often enough, you can hear even the slightest sound without needing deep focus. You can even sense someone's suppressed energy, though the limit is usually only if their inner strength is no more than one level above yours," Arya explained."Really? But didn’t you once say we can’t sense the energy of someone whose level is above ours?" Ratnasari asked."That was my old thinking. But during my disappearance, I learned many new things, some quite different from the usual beliefs of most warriors," Arya replied. His gaze returned to the spot Ratnasari had pointed out earlier."We’d better go check it out up there," he added."Hmm.
The Sound of Battle
"Forgive me, but I can't believe you've stepped down, My Lord. To me, you are still the Grand Commander—an irreplaceable war leader. I have seen firsthand how you organize the troops, both in offense and defense," said Nara.Arya raised an eyebrow. "Were you part of the archery unit?""Yes, My Lord. I was among the archers led by Lord Rengga when we attacked the enemy in a valley flanked by hills," the soldier replied."Sit down first. I’ll explain everything. To be honest, I don't like being treated like that," Arya said."I'm sorry, My Lord, but I wouldn’t dare. It's not my place to sit at the same level as you." The soldier kept his gaze lowered, fearfully.Arya looked displeased at the refusal. "That’s an order! Sit next to me—now!" he said firmly.Overcome with fear, the four men quickly rose and sat down in the guard post.The atmosphere shifted drastically. Previously, Karso and the others had spoken to
Suspicion
Watini's imagination soared into the air. As a village girl who had never set foot outside her hometown, she imagined that all the young men in the capital city must be just as handsome as the guest currently in her village.She tried to suppress the rush of blood that surged when she saw Arya. Deep down, she knew her place and felt she had no chance competing against Ratnasari, whose beauty was above average."Come on, Ratna," urged Watini. Staying there any longer would only stir her youthful emotions further and torment her imagination, she thought.Ratnasari nodded and walked alongside Watini toward her house.“Is that girl your lover? Oh, and what’s your name, young man?”“My name is Arya, Uncle.”“And the girl?” the man asked again.“She is indeed my lover. We’re planning to visit some relatives in Sastrajingga, the royal capital,” Arya answered with a made-up story.“I see. You two make a very fine couple—handsome and beautiful,” the man said with a warm smile. “My name is Kars
The Last Tribute
Rengga could only nod slowly. He knew very well who Arya was and what his nature was like. The young man had never once put himself first before thinking about others. In his heart, Rengga promised to keep the message the young man had given him. To prioritize the interests of the people over his own personal interests. As the afternoon approached, Arya and Ratnasari bid farewell to King Wijaya Kusuma, Prime minister Bayu Aji, Rengga, and all the officials present in the palace hall. The departure of the pair of warriors who had been consecrated as the great heroes of the Jaya Buana kingdom left sadness for everyone who knew and understood their exploits. Unexpectedly for Arya and Ratnasari, their departure plans leaked out and spread throughout every corner of Capital. Since noon, almost all the residents of Capital had gathered in a row along the road from in front of the palace to outside the gate. They w
Divine Will
A huge question immediately popped into Arya's mind. "What could the Jaya Buana ruler possibly want in my room at this late hour? Is it something so important that he had to come see me?" "Why are you so surprised to see me? May I come in?" King Wijaya Kusuma asked, his smile radiating strong friendship. The question startled Arya, who was still frozen in shock at the sudden arrival of King Wijaya Kusuma. "Oh, uh... Please, Your Majesty. Consider it your own home," the young man replied, opening his room door wide. King Wijaya Kusuma chuckled softly. "How could you possibly tell me to consider your palace my home?" "Oh, yes..." Arya became even more awkward and flustered at the small mistake he had made. King Wijaya Kusuma walked into the room and chose a chair to sit on. After closing the room door, Arya walked towards the king. As he was facing a king, Arya stood with his head bowed. "Hahaha
Ratnasari's Threat
Embarrassed? Of course, Prince Purbaya felt ashamed to have to apologize to Ratnasari. But he felt he had to do it if he truly wanted to change his ways. Step by step, the younger brother of King Wijaya Kusuma approached Ratnasari. It wasn't out of fear of Arya, but because he had made up his mind to become a better person. Standing before Ratnasari, Prince Purbaya bowed his head. All eyes in the hall were on him. "I apologize for all the wrongs I have done to you," he said, not daring to look at Ratnasari's face. Shame was the most accurate word to describe his current feelings. Ratnasari, still angry at the man, turned her face away. Coincidentally, Arya was looking at her and gave her a slight glare. With a nod, the handsome young man signaled for his lover to forgive Prince Purbaya, even if it was just a formality. Ratnasari put on a sour face. In her heart, she found it very difficult to forgive Prince Purbaya. But be
