2025-04-07 08:01:16The verbal slap delivered by King Wijaya Kusuma made the officials bow their heads in shame. None of them could utter a word to refute the question posed by the ruler of the Jaya Buana Kingdom.
"Aren’t you ashamed of Prince Jayalaksana, Rengga, and Ratnasari, who are standing at the very front, risking their lives for the sake of the Jaya Buana Kingdom? Who are those three? Let me tell you something — even if Prince Jayalaksana wasn’t the Grand Commander, he would still fight on our side," King Wijaya Kusuma continued.Without waiting for any response from his officials, King Wijaya Kusuma turned and strode out of the hall. The king, who had entered his fifties, was determined to leave the palace and fight alongside his soldiers.As soon as King Wijaya Kusuma left the hall, the officials, whose hearts had been stirred, hurried after him. Of course, none of them wanted to be branded as disloyal to their king.Meanwhile, the battle outside grew fier

Heart-wrenching screams echoed in succession from the mouths of the Shadow Devil Sect members as they fell lifeless to the ground, deadly wounds piercing their vital points.The severely limited visibility made it impossible for Mandalasura's disciples to predict where the attacks were coming from. They also had no idea when the unseen strikes would claim their only life.The thick smoke truly became a serious disturbance. They could have swung their swords wildly, but more likely than not, their slashes would end up injuring their own comrades.Running away from the city wall was not an option either. On one side, the towering and solid wall was impossible to climb without the help of ladders or grappling ropes. On the other side, the moat, ablaze with roaring fire, could easily roast them alive.Waiting for death in silence was certainly not a choice they would accept easily. They had to make every effort to survive this sudden slaught
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Ratnasari vs Mandalasura
Both of the young man's fingers were already drenched in the blood of his victims. No matter what kind of clothes they wore, the sharpness of Arya's claws easily tore through their flesh, ripping it apart down to the bone.Like a cold-blooded killer, the handsome young man still managed to flash a faint smile every time he finished off an opponent.What was reflected on Arya's face instilled terror in the minds of the enemy soldiers targeted by him. It was no wonder that those soldiers desperately tried to avoid facing Arya directly.The young man then grabbed two swords lying nearby. His sharp gaze locked onto a group of Cakrabuana soldiers standing before him. Fearful of becoming the target of his slaughter, the soldiers instinctively kept stepping backward."Aaaakh!"Their lack of focus on their surroundings gave Jaya Buana's soldiers the perfect opportunity to launch a surprise attack. Uninvited slashes and thrusts struck them down in
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Arya vs Mandalasura
Following the direction pointed out by Ratnasari, Mandalasura turned his gaze back toward Arya. His eyebrows knitted together in disbelief at the news he had just heard. It was even more unbelievable because the one accused of killing two notorious leaders of the dark sect was merely a young man.Indeed, the young man in question clearly possessed skills, judging by what he was capable of doing at that moment. But to the extent of killing Sumoharjo and Sutojoyo? That was absolutely impossible — it sounded completely absurd and fabricated.A second later, loud, unrestrained laughter burst from the wrinkled lips of Mandalasura. The old man's body shook violently, unable to control the laughter that had surged beyond his limits. This old man was famously known for rarely laughing. Even when he smiled, it was only when absolutely necessary.None of the soldiers from either side dared to stand near the old man. The energy seeping from his body was unbearable. The pressure was so intense th
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon Arya vs Mandalasura 2
The ground struck by Mandalasura's stray energy attack instantly exploded, creating a large crater. Arya briefly turned his head toward the explosion before shifting his gaze back to his opponent, who stood not far from where he was.Mandalasura's sharp eyes glared at Arya, burning with rage. But then, his focus suddenly shifted to the sword hilt peeking from behind the young man's back.His brow furrowed as he sensed the enormous energy radiating from that sword. Even in the darkness, he could faintly see a reddish aura emanating from behind the young man.Mandalasura suspected that the sword Arya possessed was one of the most powerful sacred weapons in the martial world. However, he could not be completely certain until the blade was drawn from its sheath."Hand over that sword! You are not worthy of possessing it!" he shouted forcefully.Arya was startled by the old man's words. He had never expected that the founder and leader of the Shadow Demon Sect would covet his sword."He re
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Perfection of the Shadow Veil Spell
The soldiers around the three warriors instinctively moved away. None of them wanted to get caught in the aftermath of the fierce battle taking place — a battle that could easily end their lives. In their minds, it was better to die fighting than to die as collateral damage from someone else’s battle.Meanwhile, the fight between Arya and the Shadow Demon Warrior grew fiercer than ever. Arya was even forced to draw nearly half of his Fire Dragon energy and channel it into his body in order to withstand and counter the opponent's technique, which appeared increasingly strange and unpredictable in his eyes.On the other hand, Mandalasura couldn’t hide his admiration for Arya's skill. He truly didn’t expect that the young man standing before him would be able to read and counter his Shadow Step technique so effectively. Impressed yet pressured, he poured in even more power — over half of his strength — to intensify his attacks.However, up until now, Mandalasura still hadn't unleashed hi
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon A Delayed Death
Unlike his unpleasant laughter, the whistle coming from Mandalasura's lips sounded melodious and rhythmic. Whistling triumphantly, Mandalasura slowly walked toward Arya.Even though his confidence in victory was beyond doubt, Mandalasura still felt the need to remain cautious. Moreover, he could still sense a faint trace of energy coming from the young man lying helplessly on the ground, although it was very weak.Arya's eyelids narrowed even more. He had tried to circulate his inner energy to help the healing power of the Tundra moss to close his wounds faster. However, the injuries he suffered were severe. The sword in his opponent’s hand was no ordinary weapon — it was a sacred sword imbued with great power. Had the slash struck an ordinary warrior, their body would have likely been split in two.In his desperation, the faces of those closest to him appeared clearly in his mind. They shouted words of encouragement, urging Arya to hold on and survive. He wanted to obey the wishes of
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The devastating consequences of the fight.
Seeing his opponent had already darted forward to deliver an attack, Arya did not want to be careless like before, which had almost killed him. He knew and could guess that Mandalasura would definitely use the same method.Without waiting for his opponent to come, Arya released a fire shield to protect his body. After that, he swung his sword when he saw his opponent was within reach of his sword.Like the previous incident before the opponent's sword slash hit his back, Arya's slash hit empty space again. Mandalasura's body disappeared without a trace."Damn it, that strange magic again!" Arya cursed in his heart.The handsome young man turned his body and looked around for Mandalasura's body. Just like what had happened before, Mandalasura suddenly appeared and unleashed a slash that once again hit Arya's back. Fortunately, the handsome young man had activated the fire shield to protect his body, so his body was only pushed forward due to the impact.Arya immediately turned around a
The Sword Of The Fire Dragon The Shadow Devil Sword
"Damn it! I've had enough of this situation. I have to kill him and seize the palace," he muttered to himself.Like all swordsmen did, Mandalasura drew upon the surrounding natural elements to boost his inner strength. His two wrinkled hands stretched wide with his palms facing upwards.He took a deep breath while looking up. Even though the air in the forest was no longer sterile with the amount of smoke from the fire, Mandalasura was not bothered at all. He took a few breaths, until he felt that the natural elements that were sucked into his body were enough.The old man planted his right foot and pressed it hard. If that foot was lifted, then there would be footprints imprinted on the soft forest floor.His steed was firmly in place. The flames on the blade of his sword also grew larger after he added his energy.Yes. Mandalasura seemed to have had enough of fighting the handsome young man. He wanted to get out of the situation as soon as possible, which could have dire consequence

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
Suspicion
Watini's imagination soared. As a village girl who had never even left her village since she was a child, the girl, the same age as Ratnasari, assumed that all the young men in the Capital City had the same kind of handsome features as the guest in her village.The rush of blood flowing through her veins when she saw Arya was suppressed. She realized that she had to compete with Ratnasari, who possessed above-average beauty."Come on, Ratna," Watini invited. Staying there for too long could make her young blood boil and torment her imagination, Watini thought.Ratnasari nodded and followed Watini towards her house."Is that girl your lover? Oh, by the way, what's your name, young man?""My name is Arya, Uncle.""And that girl?" the man asked again."She is indeed my lover. We were planning to visit our relatives in Kotaraja Sastrajingga," Arya answered with an alibi."I see. You two make a very good couple, handsome and beautiful." The man smiled warmly, "Let me introduce myself, my n
Regret
Prince Purbaya sat in quiet contemplation. The truth he had learned was bitter, from his defeat in war to being considered a disgrace by the father he had always thought was his grandfather. But on the other hand, he was also happy that the truth about himself had been revealed."If you don't mind, where is my mother now? Is she in this palace?""I'll take you to see her later. Right now, I need to focus on rebuilding the damage in Kotaraja," King Wijaya Kusuma replied."Forgive me, Brother." Prince Purbaya whispered, his heart touched by the sincerity of the Jaya Buana ruler.King Wijaya Kusuma nodded and smiled faintly. "Your apology won't mean anything if there's no change in your attitude and character, Purbaya. It all starts with the intention in your heart.""Yes, Brother. I realize that everything I've done has been wrong. The worldly temptations around me have blinded me. I couldn't tell right from wrong. I considered everything the same, and what I did was the truth itself."
A Secret Unveiled
"Are you sure you want to know who your real parents are, Purbaya?" King Wijaya Kusuma asked.Prince Purbaya nodded slowly. "Father said he found me in the forest while hunting. Is that true, Uncle?"King Wijaya Kusuma pondered how to reveal the long-buried secret to Prince Purbaya. He was hesitant to tell him, especially in front of so many eyes in the hall.He looked around, noticing everyone waiting for him to speak."Soldiers, untie Purbaya's hands!" he commanded the two soldiers standing behind Prince Purbaya.One of the soldiers quickly obeyed, releasing the ropes binding Prince Purbaya's hands."Stand up, Purbaya!" King Wijaya Kusuma instructed.Prince Purbaya was stunned and disbelieving. The order seemed strange, considering he was a war criminal who should have been sentenced to death.Still consumed by curiosity, Prince Purbaya stood up. His gaze remained lowered, not daring to look at the ruler of Jaya Buana."Now, come with me!" King Wijaya Kusuma walked towards a room, f
