"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 Sword Of The Fire Dragon Revenge
"Hahahaha ...! It seems that after falling into that hole, your brain has shifted from its original place, kid. Besides losing your memory, now you're also insane!" mocked Darsa.Ckckck! Arya clicked his tongue softly while shaking his head, his arms crossed over his chest. "You couldn't even defeat that girl, let alone defeat me! If you don't believe me, feel free to try."Darsa's eyes burned with anger. The handsome young man had openly humiliated him in front of his companions. Not only that, but he also felt his dignity had been shattered."Capture that girl!" he shouted, giving orders.Six of Darsa's friends moved to attack Ratnasari. They couldn't believe that a girl who looked so weak could have the power to supposedly defeat them.But their disbelief quickly turned to disaster when Ratnasari moved wildly and took them down one by one with incredible speed. Not only that, they were killed in horrific ways. Her slender fingers were as sharp as the talons of a royal eagle. Her ha
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Change of Plan
Change of Plan"Here's the deal: I'll let you live, but on one condition—you show me where the village of Mekarsari is. What do you say? If you refuse, I'll kill you right here and now," said Arya, offering a compromise.The man, who looked to be about 25 years old based on his face, raised his gaze, seemingly unable to believe what Arya had just said."Are you serious about forgiving me?"Arya nodded. "What's your name?""My name is Warsito," the man replied."Alright then... Since you're older, I'll address you as 'Big Brother.'” Arya glanced at the cart used to transport the victims in the distance.Warsito looked at Arya with a mixture of disbelief and confusion. He couldn't fathom why the warrior standing before him still showed him respect. Given his defeated status, he wouldn’t even be able to object if Arya decided to enslave him.But surprisingly, Arya's actions were far from what Warsito had anticipated."You will guide the two of us to the village of Mekarsari. After that,
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Ratnasari's Anger
That night, Sumoharjo wrestled with tumultuous thoughts. He couldn't rest peacefully without knowing Sutojoyo's condition. After all, Sutojoyo was not only his fellow disciple but also his close friend, who played a significant role in the rapid growth of the Red Blood Moon sect.The crowing of a rooster heralded a gloomy morning for Sumoharjo. His eyes were swollen from lack of sleep. All night, he couldn't stop worrying about the fate of his fellow disciple.Sumoharjo walked to open the door of his room after hearing a knock from outside.Creaaak!The creaking sound of the door opening revealed Tunggul Anom standing there, smiling at Sumoharjo."Let’s have breakfast, Elder. The food is ready in the hall," said the leader of the Fire Spear sect."You go ahead. I'll join shortly. I need to wash my face first," Sumoharjo replied softly. That day, for some reason, he felt too sluggish to engage in any activity. If it weren't for his plan to visit Sutojoyo, he wouldn't have risen from hi
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Punishment of the Devil's Angel
"Why didn't I know there was an angel as beautiful as her in this eatery?" Darma muttered softly. His eyes widened, and his Adam's apple bobbed as he suppressed his desire. His heartbeat raced like a horse galloping on a track."If she agrees to be my wife, I’ll divorce my other four wives," he added.Darma's five bodyguards were stunned and remained frozen in their chairs. Throughout their service as Darma's bodyguards, they had repeatedly encountered beautiful faces adorning their master's life. Yet, none of those beautiful women could rival the radiance of the girl currently standing atop the table.Darma released his grip on Suci’s hand and stood up, his predatory gaze fixed on Ratnasari, who stared back at him.Feeling as though she had escaped the clutches of a wild tiger, Suci ran away and hid in the room she usually used for sleeping.The other patrons were stunned by the bravery of the beautiful girl standing on the table. Some thought her boldness was misplaced, as the perso
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Village Chief’s Oddity
"Aren’t the three of you real men who are used to flirting with death? So why are you trembling with fear now? Finish your business with that girl first!" Arya sneered, adding to their humiliation."Bastard! You must have a death wish!" Another man barked angrily, his voice dripping with menace.Before the girl hunting them could strike, one of the three men drew his sword and charged at Arya. With a powerful slash, he aimed for the handsome young man who was blocking their escape route.Instead of dodging, Arya calmly waited for the blade closing in on him. Just two meters before it could reach him, Arya sidestepped with measured ease, letting the sword whoosh past harmlessly.Arya seized the moment and delivered a precise kick to his assailant’s stomach.Thud!"Aaagh!"The man stumbled backward several steps before crashing to the ground. Blood gushed out of his mouth, staining the floor.Click-click-click. Arya shook his head slowly, clicking his tongue in mock pity. "I’m not in th
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Unequal Battle
The old man glared, his anger visibly rising. "This is none of your business, young man! You deserve a severe punishment for your crimes!" he roared."Have you been bribed to such an extent that you defend that scoundrel? If you are truly the village chief, you should stand with the villagers, not side with someone who blatantly mistreats women!" Arya's voice grew louder. His demeanor, which had been respectful at first, had completely shifted."Watch your tongue, young man! You've added to your sins by daring to slander me. Darma is my son!" the old man barked.Arya's broad smile revealed his astonishment at the chief's confession. "So, it’s true—the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Seeing your behavior, it's no surprise that he turned out rotten too. Turns out...""Scoundrel! How dare you insult me!" The old man was livid, his dignity as village chief tarnished by a young man who was no more than a mere boy in comparison."You lot, kill him!" he ordered the men behind him, retr

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
